The First Empress

Kuravai Koothu

'He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.'

After Aditha left, Boomadevi came back to the king's chamber.

Boomadevi: Arase, Indha pedhai Neengal Thappaga ninaikka matteergal endral ondru kekalam dhaane!!!!

Virutha Varmar: Kelu Booma.

Boomadevi: Adithanuku en meedhu edhenum varuthama???

Virutha Varmar: Yean Appadi ketkiraai??

Boomadevi: Illai.. siridhu kaalamaga ennidam irundhu nam magan vilagi iruppadhu pondru thondrugiradhu.

The king was irritated. Recently, he started feeling that Boomadevi might have a bit of animosity towards his son.

Virutha Varmar: nee migavum sindhanai seiyadhe. Avan un meedhu paasathudan dhaan irukkiran... nee dhaan avanai innum Petra pillai Pol ninaikka thayangugiraai.

Ninaivil irukkatum... Avan dhaan naalaiya arasan. Un moondru magangal alla.

Boomadevi: Arase... enna ippadi pesi vitteer??? Naan Adithanai en Magan pol paarpathal dhaan en sagodharargalin magalgaleiye koduthu thirumanam seidhu vaithen.

Indha pazhi petchai en manam thaangadhu, Arase...

He wasn't able to see her crying face.

Virutha Varmar: Sari sari. Varutham kolladhe... nee un araiku sendru oivu edu.

Boomadevi: Neengal varavillaiya??

Virutha Varmar: Indru naan thanimaiyil irukka virumbugiren...

She left the hall with her maid. Once they were out of the room, she turned to her maid.

Boomadevi: Iravu, Arasarin araiku yaaravadhu sendral enaku theriya veandum.

Maid: Appadiye Devi.

Rukmani heard the noises of vessels clanking. She then asked her maid about the source of noise.

Rukmani's maid: Maharani migavum kobathudan irukkirar, Devi. Avar arayil irundhu dhaan satham varugiradhu.

Rukmani: Oh... Adhu kidakkatum vidu.

Iravu unavu anaivarukum aanadha??

Maid: Illai Devi... Maharaniyar kobamai iruppadhal, adukkalaiyil endha velaiyum nadakkamal Appadiye irukkiradhu...

Rukmani: Sari vaa ennudan.

King's chamber:

A guard announced Rukmani's arrival to the king.

Virutha Varmar: Enna vishayamaga vandhaai, Rukmani???

He asked her in a soft voice. After all, this was her first time to visit him personally. She still stood at a certain distance from him.

Rukmani: Iravu ungaluku enna unavu veandum endru kettu poga vandhen, Arase.

Virutha Varmar: Booma kooravillaiya?

Rukmani: Avaruku udal nilai sari illai polum.

Arasavaiyil anaivarum pinnar pattiniyaga irukka neridum. Adhanal dhaan naan Vara veandiyadhaga ponadhu, Arase.

Mannithu vidungal...

Virutha Varmar: Mannippu ketka enna irukkiradhu??
