Describe the ending of the story. / Describe the irony that Mohan faced at the end of the story.

 Mohan was the husband and manager of renowned singer Selvi. Throughout the story, it is seen that Mohan groomed and brought Selvi so much that Selvi did every action according to his order. Even she never uttered a single word beyond his scripted word. She obeyed his words, orders passively. She never smiled. Mohan never give her freedom to meet or speak to anyone without his presence. Mohan decided everything of Selvi’s life. Selvi became a machine without her own will and emotion. She just sang, eat, sleep, spoke whenever she was told by Mohan. Even Mohan isolated her from her family unless she came out of his clutch. He did so because Selvi was the only source of income.

     But once Selvi got the news of her mother’s death. She even did not able to see her mother for the last time. She became very sad and revolted against her husband. Selvi who never went against her husband, now refused to live with her husband and denied all his orders. She left the palatial house and began to live in his mother house and she started to sing for audience in free session there. Even after several requests from Mohan, she did not change her mind. It puzzled him so much that he even did not believe his own ear. After visiting Selvi several times, he at last decided to meet his wife at the night. But instead of welcoming him, Selvi told him that it was not the proper time to meet her. Once a woman who never uttered any word or acted any act without his signal, now her attitude got a spark of lightning, audacity of protest, power of speaking truth. Here the real irony lied.
