What begins as awkward encounters, soon transforms into a deeper beautiful bond of love until one day when Maria's father comes to know of it. Her family leaves the town, never to return again. Boman returns home one evening to find a note from Maria explaining that she may never return. In his heart, Boman still holds on to his love for her. After 8 years, he returns once again to find a note hanging by his door; a note from Maria. The story narrated through Boman's perspective, shows the couple's relationship as expressed through their letters. And in spite of all the odds, their love still remains strong. Death, which is viewed as the ultimate end, only serves to bring them closer, to unify them as ONE!
