'Life is the flower for which love is the honey'

Aditha was standing on the balcony and watching the birds that were flying in the distance. Subodhar noticed him being alone and reached him from behind. Veera wasn't there with them.

Subodhar: Ilavarase...

Adi: Sollu Subodha...

Subodhar: Adhiga prasangi thanathuku Mannikanum...

Adi: Enna keka vandhaiyo kel.

His face still had a small smile. His subordinate read it and asked the thing that was killing him.

Subodhar: Unmaiyileiye ungaluku Naangam ilavarasi mel anbu vandhu vittadha???

Adi smiled big this time.

Subodhar: Ungal sirippu ku artham Puriyaleiye.

Adi: Aval en kadamai, Subodha...

Anbu????

Enaku avalidam thevai irukkiradhu...

Avaluku ennidam thevai irukkiradhu...

Ippodhaiku indha padhil podhumaanadhu ena ninaikiren..

Veera just came in and listened to the last part.

Veera: Ilavarase... Bale aalu neenga...

Evlo periya kaariyathe evlo sulabama sollitinga...

Subodhar understood that Veera misunderstood the context of his master's sentence. Before he could correct him, he saw Aditha adjusting his voice.

Adi: Veera... unnai naan mudhal amaichare dhaane paaka sonnen. Ingu enna velai??

Veera: Ungale pirindhu irukka manam illamal...

Adi: Nadikadhe... 2 vaaram viduppu kettu nacharithaai... Ippodhu enna???

Veera: Adhuku dhaan mela mela velai kuduthutte irukkingale...

Viduppu kedaicha naanum poi enaku oru ponnu thedi en thevai eh avalum Ava thevai eh naanum poorthi pannalam nu paatha...

Before he could finish, he saw a sword closer to his neck...

Adi: Enna sonnaai????

Veera: Onnum illai Ilavarase.... Parandha vaanathin keezh vaazhum parandha Zila desathu ilavarasarin parandha manadhai paarattinen.

Subodhar smiled at them. They grew up together and they were one of the close-knitted friends from childhood.

After retrieving his sword, Adi saw Veera panting.

Veera: Oru nimisham uyir thondai varai vandhu vittadhu Ilavarase...

Adi: Sari unmaiyil edharku vandhaai??? Adhai kooru...

Veera: Ponnarasi Deviyin panippen mudhal mandhiriyai sendru sandhithaal.

Ana avanga enna pesunanga nu theriyale..

Adi: Adhai kekama Inga yeanada vandhaai???

Veera: Ennai vittu neengal edhavadhu pesi vittal...???

Subodhar: Ilavarase mannikavum ...

He pushed Veera out of the room.

Subodhar: Uyir mel aasai irundhaal odu... Adhu enna vishayam endru kandu pidi..

Veera: Amam. Naanum adhuku dhaan muyarchi pandren.

Ennudaiya rendu kavalargal mudhal mandhiri veetai suthi nirkirargal.
