When i first started reading about Ammu and Velutha by the river in the end of the book I wondered whether Roy had wanted us to leave the book with the image of Ammu and Velutha or was it that he was dead, so she dreamt of him, which showed how much she had loved him when he was alive. For me it was about the dream. Roy has done really well with the scene of them and I feel as though it brings the whole story together. For Ammu it must have been very nice to see his face about and feel his heart beat. Her Body once again felt that love, that passion.
