What happened in Neema’s story

In her class, Amisha taught a talented young teenage girl named Neema who reminded her of herself. Amisha and Stephen grew closer. After leaning that Stephen’s brother died in the war, she gifted him with a story about two brothers meeting in Heaven. Stephen was touched. They became slightly more physically and emotionally intimate but kept they distance for fear of retribution from the community at large. In class, Neema wrote a story about a girl killing herself instead of going through with an arranged marriage. Amisha deduced that Neema was set to be married soon. In the present, Jaya meets Ravi’s great-grandchildren, Amit and Misha. Misha suffers from polio because she cannot get good medical care in rural India. Patrick also calls Jaya but the poor connection drops the call. Jaya continues to suffer blackouts after talking to him. In the past, Ravi injured himself one day while trying to board up the sides of the house in preparation for a hurricane. No doctor would attend to him because he was an untouchable. Fearing for his life, Amisha ran to Stephen’s house. Stephen spirited Ravi away to a military base to receive medical care. When Stephen came back to tell Amisha that Ravi would survive, she was so overcome with emotion that she kissed him. They continued to kiss but did not make love. Amisha then learned that Neema tried to kill herself by self-immolation in order to avoid her arranged marriage. Amisha blamed herself for not helping Neema. Deepak learned what Amisha had been teaching the children and forbade her from returning to school. Amisha was distraught at not seeing Stephen. Once he had recovered, Ravi acted as a messenger for Stephen and Amisha. Stephen was then reassigned to a post outside of India. Devastated, Amisha went to Stephen’s house and they finally made love
