Nedumudi Venu was her mentor and well wisher, who introduced her to Unnikrishnan. After that season, Unni returned to his residence and Isabella, whom he called affectionately Bella, awaited for his return towards her. He returned on several seasons, but on each time he refused to accept her as his life-partner.Terribly distracted by his family's behaviour, Unnikrishnan once decides to spend his remaining life with Bella.
