The First Empress

Denying Entry into her Chamber

'Being sister and brother means being there for each other'

Night before engagement:

Sambaladevan was stationed outside the capital city. Eventhough, he had acted disinterested in this union, he was really excited for this wedding after listening to the praises of Umayal's beauty around the city. The people he met along the way also boasted about her beauty. He had also seen her in drawings. However, he really wanted to look how she looked in person. Hence, he was going crazy with every passing minute. He still had one full night to wait just to meet her.

As he was growing impatient, his advisor came to inform him about the arrangements for the next day. Sambaladevan just pulled the man and made him sit in the chair near his bed.

Sambaladevan: Vandhu ingu amarndhu kollungal Kamanare!

Kamanar quickly sat down and opened his mouth to talk about the arrangements. The old king stopped him from continuing his speech.

Sambaladevan: Eppodhum idhu pondra edhenum oru pecchu. Ennidam sila kelvigal irukkindrana. Adharku vidai koori pin thangalin vandha vidayangalai ennidam koorungal.

Kamanar: Sari Arase. Kelungal.

Sambaladevan: Naan ippodhu manakka irukkirene. Aval eppadi iruppaal endru edhenum ariveero?

Kamanar scratched his head and then.

Kamanar: Arase, naan verum alosagar. Adhilum brahmachari. Ennai ketkireergale?

Sambaladevan: Neer kettu arindhadhai koorum ayya.

Kamanar: Naan ketta varai pirai nettriyai kondavar. Munnetriyil kattrai mudi suzhandru aadumaam. Surul mudikku sondhakaarar. Idai varai neenda koondhal. Pon nira meni. Migavum azhagaanavar. Meniyai pondru pon manam padaitthavar endru makkal pesi kondanar, Arase.

He said without any interest. He was also able to see his king's excitement towards this union as there was no one accompanying him that night. Sambaladevan smiled widely by hearing Kamanar's words.

Kamanar: Aanal thaangal indha thirumanam mudiyum varai eccharikkaiyudan irukka veandum arase.

Sambaladevan: Yean appadi uraikkireer, Kamanare? Andha Aditthanai ninaitthaa?

Kamanar: Aam Arase. Ilavarasiyai makkal pugazhndhu pesiya alavirku makkalin naavil nindra mattrum oru peyar arasarudaiyadhu alla. Pattathu ilavarasarudaiyadhu. Avar vil vitthaigalil mattum alla Vaai jaalathilum therndhavar endru arasavaiyil silar pesi kolgindranar.

Zilatthin indraiya arasiyin vayitril pirandha pillai illai avar. Arasarukku aasai pillai kooda illai. Iruppinum anaitthilum avarudaiya pangu irukkiradhu. Anaitthilum sirandhu vilangugiraar.

Appadi irukka indha thirumanatthai kuritthu avar indru varai edhuvum uraikkaamal iruppadhu thangalai urutthavillaiya?

Sambaladevan: Kamanare! Adhigam sindhanai veandom. Avan arasan allave. Verum pattatthu ilavarasan. muppadhai kooda thodaadhavan.

Kamanar: Avar dhaan Vorathin arasarai vendravar. Vijayalarai vida por veeram Konda arasar oruvarai Zila perundheevu idhuvarai kandirukiradha? Avaraiye andha ilavarasar than mun mandiyida seidhirukkiraar.

Sambaladevan: Purindhadhu purindhadhu. Avan dhaan ingu illaiye.

Kamanar: Aam. Aanal eppadiyum naalai vandhu viduvaar. Avar engu sendru irundhaar endru thaangal ariveera?
