The First Empress

Pupil of his eyes

One glance: no words required.

Sangamithra: Ilavarase...

Aditha hummed in response as he pushed her swing.

Sangamithra: Naan sonna oru maadham mudiya podhu.

Aditha: Adhanal???

Sangamithra: Unga modha mamanar ungalku seekrame aappu vepparu nu solla varen...

Aditha: Vaayi unaku... Kalli...

Suhasini: Illana Inga pizhaikka mudiyuma???

She had really grown close to him in the past few days. She felt that she could confide in him. However, she still had her doubts. She wasn't still clear about his annoyance towards his other wives. She was also not able to understand the reason behind his request to act in front of everyone.

She felt him hiding something. But it made sense for a prince who was about to become a King in a year even though he wasn't aware of it at this time. She knew it. He would always have to keep his cards close to himself. She would have done the same if she had been in his place.

All that mattered to her at this point was his support, so that she could survive in the palace.

She was too anxious to enter the royal palace. In the Crown Prince's palace, the high point of authority was the Crown Prince.

But in the royal palace, it was the King and it seemed like that they were not in amicable terms. So she had to be in her survival mode during the entire stay.

She missed her carefree days of gazing moon and listening to songs in radio.

Ah... Radio... It was a machine that was yet to be invented in this era. She then looked at the man who was pushing her swing.

Sangamithra: Ilavarase... Ungaluku paada theriyuma???

Aditha: Siru vayadhil payandradhai gnabagam.

En ammavuku paatu migavum pidikum.

Sangamithra: Appo Namma aranmanaiku pogum bodhu paaduvangala Maharani???

Aditha: En Amma iraivanadi serndhu vittar.

She jumped from the swing.

Sangamithra: Anniku thaayar nu sonninga..

Aditha: Hmmm... Maharani eh sonnen. En thandhaiyarin irandam manaivi. Boomadeviyar. Avaruku motham 14 manaivigal.

Sangamithra: Oh... podhuma???

Aditha: hahahahaha.... unaku ondru theriyuma??

Sangamithra: enna???

Aditha: Indha aranmanai ku kooda innum ilavarasigalai kootta ninaikirargal.

Sangamithra held her chest.

Aditha: Enna varuthama???

Sangamithra: Ama...

He smiled.

Sangamithra: 3 per ke moochu muttudhu... Innum neraiya per vandha en pozhudhu vidinjidum.

Aditha: Kavalai Veandom Devi. Adiyen eppavum unake adimai...

Sangamithra: Vishayam theriyadhavanga ketta ungale naan mayakkiten nu solluvanga...

Nalla nadikringa...

He laughed out loud. Her straight forward answers really earned her a position in his heart. She became one of his confidants.

Aditha: Ama... Unga appavin aranmanai le andhapurathule 100kum merpatta pengal irundhangale... Enga appavoda 14 manaivike nondhu kolgiraye...
