The First Empress

Sendhamarai's plan

What comes easy won't last long, and what lasts long won't come easy.

Sendhamarai reached Adi and Sangamithra. She was extremely fuming in anger when she got to see her blushing from head to toe.

While she was living alone, that filth of a girl was enjoying marital bliss. Once at the entrance, Aditha looked at Sendhamarai and asked her the purpose of the visit.

She informed her wish to visit her parents. She was not from a family of ministers. She belonged to a wealthy family in the city. Her father was a well-known merchant in the country.

Adi granted her the permission to leave the crown prince palace.

Sendhamarai's house

Sendhamarai: Avalai eppadiyavadhu angu irundhu thuratha veandum, anna.

Seran (her brother): avalum unnai Pola ilavarasarin manaivi.

Sendhamarai: Avalum naanum onna??? Naan Zila desathu pen. Ava Vora desathu pitchaikaari.

Sokkan (her father): nee solvadhu dhaan sari. Edharku thaan Avalai kattinaro un kanavar???

Nee oruthi angu iruppathal dhaan naan innum amaidhiyaga irukkiren.

Seran: Avargal nam veetil pen eduthadhe aridhu. Indha petchu Veandom appa.

Sokkan: nee oruthan. Indha naatil uyarndha selvandhan naan. En petchu kekamal yaar petchu keppargal???

Nee sollada en selvame... Enna veanum unaku???

Sendhamarai: Neengal yerpaadu seidha aal sari illai.

Aval saagavillai... Ilavarasar Avalai kaappatri vittar.

Avvalavu neram andha araiyil irundhum oru paambum Avalai theenda villai...

Sokkan: Appadiya???

He thought for sometime and then answered her.

Sokkan: Nee kavalai kolladhe. Viraivile idharku vazhi naan kattugiren..

Sendhamarai was in happy mood upon return. However, her happiness was short-lived and the color drained off of her face the moment she entered the crown prince palace.

Her servant maid and the snake charmer were kneeling in front of Aditha Varman who was seated in a chair. Mithra and Subodhar were standing on either side of him. The other two princesses were standing on one side while Veera questioned them.

Veera: Vaaiyai thira... yaar unaku aanai yittadhu???

Snake charmer: Naane dhaan senjen saami.

Veera: oru ilavarasi araiyil Visha praanigalai neeye vittaya???

Idhuku unaku enna dhandanai kedaikum nu theriyuma???

Sendhamarai was extremely scared. If he had revealed her plan, Aditha would kill her then and there.

Sendhamarai: Solla da sol... Yaaru unaku aanai yittadhu???

Aditha: Ssshhhh...

Sendhamarai: Mannikavum Ilavarase...

Aditha: Avargaludan serndhu mutti podunga ilavarasi...

Sendhamarai: Naana???

Aditha: Aam...

Sendhamarai: Naan enna seidhen???

Aditha: Unga panippen othukitta... Unga manase kaaya paduthura maari en Mithra nadandhadhale dhaan avalum indha paambatti um sendhu ipdi oru kaariyathe senjanga nu.
