The First Empress

Her Virundhu

'Knowledge without justice ought to be called cunning rather than wisdom'

Rukmani was panicking but Sangamithra was calm like stillwater. Even Sevili was panicking with the task she was given.

Sevili: Devi ungaluku samaikka theriyadhe.

Rukmani: Matra moovar irukkum bodhu Ivalai yean samaikka solla veandum???

Sangamithra: Ennai allava avar yetru kondar??? Adhanal dhaan sodhikirargal atthai. Kavalai Veandom. Naan paarthu kolgiren.

Rukmani: Magale, arasa Virundhu enbadhu avvalavvu sulabam alla.. yaanai ku soru iduvadhu pola. Kumbam kumbamaga vadithu kottinaalum nirambaadhu.

Sevili: Devi nammudaiya aranmanaiyil Neengal samayal valagathin vaasaluku kooda vandhadhu illaye.

Sangamithra: Neengal iruvarum kavalai padamal irungal... Naan paarthu kolgiren.

She then asked the food preferences to find the common dishes to their likes. She took Sevili with her to the royal kitchen.

Sevili: Vora desathu samayal kattai Vida idhu pala madangu periyadhaga ulladhu Devi.

Eppadi Neengal seidhu kaattuvirgal???

Sangamithra: Vaa ennudan...

Rukmani had already informed the head chef to help her with everything. Hence, they listened to her instructions and worked on the prepping.

Sevili was shocked to see her mistress working on Royal kitchen. Sangamithra had her saree tucked in on one side as it was disturbing her. Sevili couldn't able to believe the scene she saw.

After four hours, the royal table for lunch was set. The dishes were served.

The king has took the head chair followed by his queen, concubines, daughter and then the daughter-in-laws.

As Sangamithra was the one who cooked, she didn't sit with them.

Virutha Varmar: Indru unavu migavum vaasamai irukkiradhe... Yaar samaithadhu??? Thalamai samaiyal kaarar enge???

Head chef: Arase, ungaluku Kodi vanakkam.

Virutha Varmar: Vaasanai eh maaligai engum manakkiradhu.

Head chef: Mikka nandri Arase. Aanal Indru indha samaiyal Ilaya Ilavarasi Sangamithra Deviyarin Kai vannam.

Udhavi mattume Naangal seidhom..

The king's face changed and he was no longer enthusiastic.

Virutha Varmar: Nee seidhaya??? Unnai yaar aduppadikul vittadhu???

Boomadevi stayed quiet.

Rukmani: Arase idayuruku mannippu korugiren. Pattathu Ilavarasar Ingu illai. Indha nerathil avarudaiya manaiviyai nindhithal murai aagadhu...

He was irritated.

Virutha Varmar: Ivalai yaar samaikka anumadhithadhu?

Boomadevi: Mannikka veandum Arase... Naan dhaan Avalai samaikka sonnen...

Thaangal aval ilavarasanudan iruppathai anumadhithadhu kandu Neengal Avalai yetru kondir ena ninaithen.

Adhanal marumagalaaga samaikka sonnen.

Virutha Varmar: Ival enadhu marumagala??? En pillaiyin indraya Kai paavai...

Sangamithra: iru de... Oru varusham... Adhu varaikum aaduve... Adhuku apram naan dhaane irukka poren...

Umayal: Arase... Indha sirupennin idayuruku mannikavum. Annan illadha podhu ivaaru nigazhndhadhu therindhal Annan kobam kolvar.

The king hesitated and stopped berating her. Rukmani felt relieved and thanked her daughter through eyes. Sangamithra didn't even bother about his insults as he didn't matter to her. She knew that the old king was meeting his grave in a few months. So it seemed funny for her.
