The First Empress

Island

'There is a meaning in every journey that is unknown to the traveler'

Aditha greeted his mother, Rukmani. As he stood there to talk with them, Veera and Subodhar left him and went back to his office.

Aditha: Ippodhe thirumbugireera thaaiye? Payanam ellam eppadi irundhadhu?

As this was the first time Rukmani met him after meeting the Sivanadiyar, she had tears in her eyes and smiled at her son. She even hugged him. The future of Zilam was standing before her in his gold rope chains across the body and rudraksham on his neck with the pattai and sun in between on his forehead. His smile really seemed ethereal to her.

Aditha: Enna aanadhu thaaiye?

Rukmani: Ondrum illai Magane. Nedunaatkal kazhitthu unai paarkka ullam pooritthu ponadhu.

She didn't reveal the words of Sivanadiyar as Aditha never believed in the idea of becoming the king. So he might totally dismiss his words.

Rukmani: Ennudaiya payanam ellam nandraaga amaindhadhu. Mithirai eppadi irukkiraal Magane?

Aditha: Thaangal vittu sendra Eesanin poosaiyai aval thodargiraal. Umayalin vaazhvu kurithu therindhu kolla povadhaaga koorineergale thaaye. Enna therindhu kondeer?

He asked her as they walked towards the palatial hall.

Rukmani: Nalladhaagave koorinar. Mannanai manappaal endru koorinaar.

Aditha seemed thoughtful and he also noticed how Umayal's face turned sour by the mention of her wedding.

Aditha: Avaludaiya thirumanatthirku enna avasaram thaaiye?

Rukmani: Illai magane. Avalai ingirundhu etthanai viravil anuppugireno adhuve nalladhu. Nee ariyaadhadhu ondrum alla. Unnudaiya mattra sagodharargal innum sila dhinangalil thirumbi vara irukkindranar. Avargal vandhaal indha maaligai innum enna kolam ellam poonum endru ninaitthaal en kadhi kalangugiradhu.

Aditha: Atthanai per vandhaalum avargalin mootthavan naan irukkiren. Thaangal accham kola veandom thaaiye.

Rukmani: Nee irukkum nambikkaiyil dhaan naan innum indha aranmanaiyil irukkiren magane. Sari naan varugiren.

She then left the brother sister duo to talk.

Aditha: En thangaiyin mugatthil malarchi therigiradhe.

Umayal: Appadi ondrum illai anna..

Aditha: Pudhidhaaga sangili azhagaai irukkiradhe.

Umayal was startled and then adjusted her tone.

Umayal: Malaiyooril vaanginen anna.

Aditha: Nalladhu thangaiye. Endha aadavanidamum nee idhai peravillaiye?

She originally wanted to ask her brother about Rana. However, she felt shy.

Umayal: Illai anna.

Aditha: Nalladhu thangaiye. Meen kuri sangiliyai kandadhum padhari ponen adhanal dhaan.

Umayal: Yean meen kuri irundhaal enna?

Aditha: Oru aadavan meen kuri sangiliyai pennidam kodutthaal andha aadavanukku vamsam thazhaikkaadhu endru periyorgal kooruvar.

Umayal: Annnnaaa..

Aditha: Nee yean padharugiraai? Nee dhaan endha aadavanidamum peravillaiye.

Umayal: Anna..

Aditha: Kooru Umaiyal..

Umayal: Indha sangiliyai ennidam thandhavarin peyar, Rana. Porveeran endru koorinaar. Thangalai ariven endru kooda therivithaar.
