'A person who has been punished is not less inclined to behave in a given way; at best, he learns how to avoid punishment.'
Sornapattan was enticed by her song. She had a voice of angel, he thought. He wanted to take her in his arms the next moment. She also smiled noticing his intentions. However, he heard a noise behind him. He turned his attention towards the source of noise and he met a well-built man standing near the window. The intruder matched the description she gave.
Parvati, who was acting to smile, stopped smiling when she saw the intruder. She then smiled for real this time when their eyes met again. Saguntala noticed her change of expression.
Saguntala: Ivar dhaan avalin kanavaro...???
Sornapattan took a step behind as the intruder approached him.
Sornapattan: Yaar ange???? Ivanai pidiyungal...
Parvati noticed something and retrieved a bow and arrows from the wall and aimed it towards the intruder.
Sornapattan: Appadi thaan penne... Avanai kol...
The intruder still walked ahead towards the feudatory. She then released her arrow. Sornapattan was watching the direction the arrow travelled. Instead of attacking the intruder, it struck someone behind.
Parvati: Varuvadharku ithanai nerama???
Pinnaal veeran varuvadhu theriyavillaiya???
Eesan: Munnaal nee irukkiraiye kanne....
He said with a smile. Sornapattan was exasperated to see them act lovey dovey in front of him.
Sornapattan: Enna nadakkiradhu Inge???
They were soon surrounded by guards. Eesan started fighting them. Parvati and Saguntala were also surrounded. Sornapattan escaped the chamber with the help of guards.
Parvati turned to the feudatory's wife.
Parvati: Thangalai kaappen ena vaakku koduthirukkiren... Idhai pidiyungal...
She removed the knot in her mundhaani and gave her the silk pouch which had the powder.
Parvati: Ivargal yaarenum nerunginaal, kaathu kolla payan paduthungal...
Saguntala: Nee engu pogiraai???
Parvati: Avaruku udhava???
Saguntala: Pen Amma nee...
Parvati smiled and took one more arrow from the quiver and hit the man who was approaching them.
Parvati: Engalai nerunguvorukku idhu dhaan gadhi...
Showing the guy, who recently kissed the floor, she threatened. The men stopped.
Parvati: Ivar kaiyil irukkum baspam yaaraiyum pithu pidikka seiyum...
Thunichal irundhaal nerungungal...
She then quickly moved from there. Eesan had already killed most of the men in the chamber. Those who were surrounding the women ran out of the chamber in fear of him.
Parvati went and stood behind him to cover the area.
Eesan: Yaaro vil vithai ariyen endru kooriyadhaga ninaivu???
Parvati: Ilavarase... Thangalin uyirai eduthu iruppan Avan...
Eppadi ennaal idhu mudigiradhu ena ippozhudhum naan ariyen...
Sinam thondri avanai veru kondru vitten...
He realised her uneasiness in her voice.
Eesan: Porkalathil ivai kolaigal andru... Nee seivadhu tharkaappu.. avvalave..
