The First Empress

Veera - Poovizhi

Eventually all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know everything happens for a reason.

After they escaped from the palace, Veera brought her to his horse. However, she fainted as they sat on the saddle. As they were still in the hideout, there was no one around.

Veera: Ingu vandhu dhaana mayanga veandum??? Adhuvarai kudhiraiyil yeriyadhum mayanginaaye... Illaiyendraal unnai thookki... kudhiraiyil yetri... Hmm...

With his murmurs, he made her lean on himself as she faced him and tied a rope around them, so that she could be safe even when he rode the horse.

He then kicked the horse and started from there. The guards from the palace were still searching for them. Before they could reach out to the hideout, Veera escaped from the capital.

As they came out of the capital, he stopped his horse in a secluded place. He was contemplating for a moment whether to wake her up or not. He then sighed and called.

Veera: Malar...

He stopped himself as the name made him more angry.

She didn't respond.

Veera: Penne... Penne...

He patted on her cheeks. As he held her face, he noticed how beautiful she looked in that moonlight. His eyes travelled around those cheeks and lips. He grunted and tried to control himself.

Veera: Idharku thaan naan Vara matten endru koorinen.

He muttered.

Veera: Vizhi... Ezhundhu kol...

He again patted her cheeks. There was some movements from her this time. In her trance, she noticed him being so close to her. In the next moment, she hugged him. Veera was stupefied. He composed himself in the next minute and said.

Veera: Ilavarasi... Vilagi irungal... Thangalai kaatthu varuven endru em ilavarasarukku vaakku kodutthirukkiren.

Poovizhi felt stabbed with his words.

Poovizhi: Naan ilavarasi alla...

Veera: Ilavarasarin manaivi endraal Ilavarasi dhaane aaveer??

Poovizhi: Avanudaiya manaivi endru kurippida en kazhutthil Avan kattiya thaali irukkiradha???

Adhai thaangal dhaane arutthu erindheer???

Enna ennatthil erindheer?? Tham ilavarasar ennai appadi thaan kaatthu Vara sonnaaraa?

She asked him with tears. His face turned stern. He didn't answer instead he responded.

Veera: Naan porilirundhu paadhiyil vandhirukkiren. Meendum sella veandum... Thaangal vizhitthu kondeergal endraal sari...

He kicked the horse and they started from there. As they rode, tears kept rolling down her cheeks. She even went on to remove the rope that was tied around them.

Poovizhi: Vizhitthu konda pin idhu Edharku???

She threw it away. Veera didn't answer. He could read her anger and disappointment. He wanted to stop her from crying. However, his anger stopped him. He felt betrayed by her. There was no chance for him to go back to be the way he was with her previously. At least that's what he thought.

After some time, he hoped that she would stop crying. But that wasn't the case. She kept crying and her huge tears kept falling on his hands.

Veera: Ippodhu enna nadandhu vittadhu endru ippadi azhugireergal???
