The First Empress

Aditha Varma Maharaja

People have all these opinions on what happens when we die and stand at the front gates of Heaven. People think we'll be asked if we were holy, if we were righteous, if we did good deeds. But I think we'll be asked if we loved a wild love, if we loved with all our soul, if we knew a love worth living for. Have you known a wild love? Have you told someone everything in your heart? That's what they'll ask us.

A week later...

Porchelvi and Ponnarasi were walking in the garden.

Porchelvi: Innum ethanai kaalathirku nee ippadi irukka pogiraai??

Ponnarasi: Porchelvi... mariyadhaiyudan pesu. Naan unnilum moothaval.

Porchelvi: Enna moothaval nee???

Nee indha maaligaiku vandhu 13 aandugal aagindrana...

Indru varai periya atthanin nagathaiyenum nerungi iruppaya???

Ponnarasi: Avar ennai virumba villai... virumbadha avaridam nerungum alavirku izhivinaval alla naan.

Porchelvi: Nee ippadi ninaippaai aanal unnaal endrume periya atthaanai nerunga mudiyadhu.

Ponnarasi: Andha vetru naattaval uyirodu irukkum varai avar pirarai kaanbadhu endrum iyaladhu.

Porchelvi: Aval uyirodu irukkum bodhe nee avarai nerungalam.

Ponnarasi: Adhu eppadi???

Porchelvi: Avargal Idayil veruppai undaakku.

Avalai kolvadhai naan paarthu kolgiren.

Ponnarasi: Avalai avar verukka vazhiye illai..

Porchelvi: Aval avarai verukkalam allava???

Aval Manadhil sandegam ennum neruppai undaaku...

Avale avarai dhooram seivaal. Pinnar nee ninaithadhai saadhithu kollalam.

Aval indha aranmanaiyil iruppadhu aabathu... Adharku mudhalil edhenum seiya veandum.

Ponnarasi: Unaku aval Appadi enna seidhaal??

Porchelvi: Irandam Ilavarasarum aval mel Kan vaithirukkirar.

Annoyance was clearly heard in her voice.

Porchelvi: Adharkaga avar unnudan pesa neridum.

Naam pesiyadhu kurithu edhuvum solli vidadhe. Aval indha aranmanaiyil irundhaal nam iruvarukum thollaiye.

Ponnarasi: Purigiradhu.

As they walked, they saw Sangamithra coming out of the temple.

Porchelvi: Akka...

She called the fourth princess who was going towards the main building in their pavilion. Sangamithra stopped and looked at her.

Sangamithra: Sollungal Ilaya ilavarasi.

Porchelvi: Akka... Neengal ennai thangai endre azhaikalam...

As she said, she pushed Sevili out of her way and held Sangamithra's arm.

Sangamithra: Illai ilavarasi... Neengal ennai Vida vayadhil 2 varudangal moothavar... ungalai naan ilavarasi endru azhaippadhe sariyaga irukkum...

En kanavar ungal irandam ilavarasarai Vida moothavar enbadhal naan ungalai akka endru azhaikka iyaladhu.

Purindhu kolvirgal ena ninaikiren.

As she said, she removed her hand from her arm and brought Sevili closer.

Porchelvi: Ival ungal panippenna???

Chinna Pennaga irukkiral...

Pattathu Ilavarasaruku chinna pengal dhaan pidikum pola irukkiradhu.
