The First Empress

Revenge

'A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.'

As Sangamithra walked back to the temple, all the ministers stood in line on her way as they were heading towards the royal court. They were truly shocked to see her being released. She kept her head high as she walked. She didn't glance at anyone but stopped at the first minister.

Since no one could hear their conversation, the first minister addressed her without a title.

First minister: Enna paarkiraai??? Andha iraivanin peyarai kondu Arasarai nee yemaattri irukkalam. Aanal naan adhai namba matten. Nee oru mosakkaari.

Sangamithra however had a slight smile and stood still.

First minister: Enna paarvai idhu?

Sangamithra: Irudhiyaaga Mudhanmai mandhiriyai paartthu kolgiren.

First minister: Enna???

Sangamithra: Aam. Thangaludaiya azhaippu Viraivil Vara pogiradhu.

Piragu enna koorineer?? Naan mosakkaari endru dhaane?? Migavum sariyaaga kandupiditthu vitteer Mudhanmai mandhiri. Naan mosakkaari dhaan. Iraivanin arul Enakku irukkiradha endru naan ariyen.. aanal edhir kaalatthai naan ariven.. andha vagaiyil naan mosakkaari dhaan.

Arasarin irudhi kaalatthai therindhu kolla avar thudikkiraar. Aanal thangalin irudhi eppadi irukka pogiradhu endru sollava??

First minister: Enna solgiraai???

Sangamithra chuckled and then responded.

Sangamithra: Mosakkaariyin vaarthaigal thangalukku Edharku?? Sorga vaasal thangalukkaga thirakka  povadhillai. Naragatthilaavadhu punniyangal seidhu paarungal.. Andha yamanukkenum Thangalai viduvikka manam varugiradha ena Paarppom.

The first minister was shocked to hear her words. She didn't stop and walked towards the temple.

At the same time, Boomadevi was wailing in her chamber and Porchelvi entered in anger.

Porchelvi: Panippengal anaivarum veliye sellungal...

As all the maids left the chamber, Porchelvi looked at Boomadevi.

Porchelvi: Enna velai seidhirukkiraai atthai??

Boomadevi: Enna seidhen??

Porchelvi: Yaarai kettu andha Sangamithraiyai Arasar viduvitthaar???

Boomadevi: Aval arasarin azhivu kaalam thodangum endru kurippittaal, adhu pola arasarin vaarisugal marudhiname maraindhanar. Avalai innum siraiyil vaitthaal enna aagumo??? Adhanaal Naane arasaridam viduvikkum badi ketten.

Porchelvi: Arivu irukkiradha atthai?? Vidhi avalukku udhaviyirukkiradhu. Adhai purindhu kollaamal avalai viduvitthu vidum badi Arasarai kettirukkiraai.

En thittangalai nee veenadikkiraai.

Boomadevi: Un thittam enna dhaan endru kooru. Aval karuvuttru irukkum seidhiyai mudhalil yean maraikka koorinaai??

Rukmaniyai yean maaligaiyai vittu marutthuvarin koodatthirku anuppa sonnaai???

Porchelvi: Avalukku uriyavar yaarum avaludan irutthal koodadhu.

Adhu varai un Arivu ketta Arasar andha panippennai siraiyileiye nirutthinaar.

Boomadevi: Appodhu avaludaiya karuvai kalaikka povadhillaiya??

Porchelvi: Kalaikka povadhu illai.

Boomadevi: Enna koorugiraai?

Porchelvi: Aval thandhirakaari. Indha maaligaiyil yaarudaiya thunaiyum indri thanitthu itthanai naatkal uyir vaazha perum Arivu veandum.
