Ponniyin Selvan oneshots

Alaikadal | Poonkuzlali x Arulmozhi Varman

This oneshot is inspired by the song/poem Alaikadal.

So in this oneshot we would be diving in her memories as she remembers them while singing.

•••••~•••••~•••••~•••••~•••••~•••••~•••••~•••••~••••••

Alaikadal Azham Nilavu Ariyadho,
Yelo Yel Yelo~
[ Does the moon not know the ocean's depth? ]
"Who is she? " Ponniyin Selvan asked a Fisherman.
"She is just an ordinary Oarswoman Ilavarasare , quite violent I must say, her name is Poonkuzlali."

Adi Mana Dhagam Vizhil Theriyadho,
Yelo Yel Yelo~
[ Will the eyes not reveal the yearning of the heart? ]
"Poonkuzlali? I thought she is the ocean princess!" He had exclaimed.

Padha Marum Megam Engo Tholaindhaval Thano~
[ Has that wandering cloud lost its way? ]
"Samudrakumari! Wait" Ponniyin Selvan shouted running towards her.
"Yes Ilavarasare? " She said bowing her head down.
"I wanted to ask you, that can you show me the different lands beyond the sea within this month? " He had asked.

Vanum Neerum Serum Endro Orr Nal Thano~
[ When will the horizon and the ocean meet as one? ]
They were sailing to sri lanka, although he kept insisting that he can do the hard stuff, she had refused and worked as she usually would. Gracefully.

Azhiyile Thadam Edhuvum Illa,
Yelo Yel Yelo~
[ The waves have no makers ]
He was impressed, by the way she worked. Her hands weren't the ones which were made with flowers, but the one which were made with stone.

Van Veliyin Meen Oliyil Sella,
Yelo Yel Yelo~
[ The light of the stars guides us ]
It was night she had caught a fish. They had been eating it. She noticed how Ponniyin Selvan was staring at her sometimes.

Alaikadal Azham Nilavu Ariyadho,
Yelo Yel Yelo~
[ Is the moon unaware of the ocean's depth? ]
They were walking around the deserted places in Singhala, which were filled with lush forests. He saw a Mogra tree. He ran there.

She was confused on why he suddenly ran. He quickly gathered some of the Mogra flowers and came back to her. He gave them to her and walked on.

Inbam Thunbam Rendum Idam Porul Marum
Iravugal Pagal Agum Mugil Mazhai Agum Muruvalum Neer Agum~
They were again on the sail again, going to some other island next. Just then they saw a storm approaching them.

Van Engum Sayadha Senjuriyan
Varadho Oru Malai Nam Boomiyil
Nan Oru Murai Vazhndhida Maru Karai Yerida~
The storm was at it's peak. As they were trying to manage to keep their balance, a big wave engulfed Poonkuzlali. Arulmozhi looked like all the blood had drained from his face. He was scared. Just then poonkuzlali emerged from the water, breathing loudly.

Pala Pala Piravigal Kolveno Sollidu~
Alaikadal Azham Nilavu Ariyadho,
Yelo Yel Yelo
He rushed towards her and hugged her tight. She hugged him back, unable to register the fact that the Ponniyin Selvan was hugging her.

Pesadha Mozhi Ondril Kaviyama
Thanaga Uruvana Oviyama~
After that, they faced every storm together, hand in hand.

Thai Indri Karuvana Oor Uyira
Adharam Iladha Kaadhala
Kana Idai Velyil Karam Pidipaiyo
Karai Thodum Varaiyil Manam Mudipaya
Orr Parvai Oor Vaku Tharayo~
They were again in an unknown jungle, just exploring it.

Alaikadal Azham Nilavu Ariyadho,
Yelo Yel Yelo
[ Does the moon not know the depth of the ocean? ]
She suddenly hitted a rock and trembled down. His quick reflex reacted and he quickly grabbed her wrist.

Adi Mana Dhagam Vizhil Theriyadho,
Yelo Yel Yelo~
[ Will the eyes not reveal the heart's longing? ]
They stared at each other again as she looked up at her. He let her go in an instent after she had stood up. They continued on.

Padha Marum Megam Engo Tholaindhaval Thano~
[ Has that stray cloud lost its way? ]
He saw another Mogra tree in distance. He smiled seeing it.

Vanum Neerum Serum Endro Orr Nal Thano~
[ When will the horizon and the sea merge into one? ]
He gathered some.

Azhiyile Thadam Edhuvum Illa,
Yelo Yel Yelo~
[ There are no markers on the waves. ]
He came near her, but this time he didn't give the flowers to her.

Van Veliyin Meen Oliyil Sella,
Yelo Yel Yelo
[ We are guided by the light of the stars. ]
He came near her. Butterflies danced in their stomachs. They were inches away.

Alaikadal Azham Nilavu Ariyadho,
Yelo Yel Yelo
[ Is the moon oblivious to the ocean's depth? ]
She stared at his eyes as he slowly placed the flowers in her hair, behind her ear. His hands were brushing her cheeks and forehead. They were both blushing. As he was doing it, he looked at her.

There eyes locked with each other. Poonkuzlali smiled at this memory. She had thought that Vanthyathevan was asleep the whole time she had been singing but she was wrong. He had heard her sing the whole song.
