Love.

Love was capable of making a life as well as destroying one. And this love destroyed her Adithyan.
Her Lover. Her praise for indefinable love is her love itself. She was in a paradox. A paradox of hate, vengeance and love.

It started with him and ended with him.

But alas, life comes to be bitter when the one whom she loved as dear, protected in her heart and enriched every memory of, dies in your own hands.

It's a curse,a huge curse. All she felt was hopeless, Cursed and fatal. Death wouldn't cause this much pain, or will it.

Living in a world where Karikalan is no more is like walking on a plate full of nails, it would pierce and leave the wounds for long.

It was overwhelming. The thought of living as a murderer. Not just anyone but killing her own life. It was haunting.

" You took the life of the sinner. The pandya kingfom is proud of you. It's time to enjoy" said Ravidasan as the Pandya soldiers had their booze.

Still head in her legs,as tears poured Nandhini looked beyond the Kaveri. A way to rinse off her sins.

A deadly sin of Killing her lover.

" Wanna hear the truth?" asked an apprehended Karuthiruman, as he looked at the sky.

Nandhini tilted her head in confusion as she looked towards him. What more truth could have been hidden from her.

Everything is lost. She lost. All she ever wanted was a normal life. A life with the one who would love her as his. And never in her dreams has she wondered that there would be only chaos in her life. Chaos in the form of anything and everything.

"What more?" She asked in a hurt strained voice.

" Veerapandiyan is your Father, he volunteered himself on your mother Mandakini. Your Pregnant mother left Madurai, and never came back. But you did" he uttered with a sarcastic humour in his tone.

The world came crashing to Nandhini. This was disgusting. Her whole self was. She felt the very urge to clean herself.

What a great twist her life had taken. She indeed was cursed.
Veerapandiyan wasn't a great man at last. He destroyed his mother's life and so did hers.

Goddess, what a wicked man was he to marry his own daughter and keep her under the rocks.

She felt sick of everything. Every men in her life only played with her as if she is a puppet. And the agony of the feeling is indescribable.

Nothing would hurt like this. No women must go through the failure of life like hers.

Everyone only lusted for her and there weren't a soul to look through her self.

And she killed that only person, her Karikalan.

Life isn't worth living more was the only answer she had.

The game she played came backstabbing herself.

Truly life is venomous. And she isn't willing to lead through it.

Her fight wasn't fruitfull. She didn't gain anything but lost a gem, and nothing is there for her redemption.

மழலை அன்போடு இருந்தேன்,
என் மனம் ஏமாற்றும் கண்டது.

'With a fragile loving heart,
I faced disappointment.'

நெஞ்சில் விஷதொடு வந்தேன்,
வாழ்க்க வீழ்த்தியது.

'With a venomous heart I came,
Life defeated me.'

குருதியும், சதையுமாய் வேறுத்தேன்,
வலி அதிகரித்தது.

'As blood and flesh I hated on,
Pain only increased.'

வென்றேன் என்று நினைத்தேன், என்னையே வெறுக்க நேர்ந்தது.

'I thought I won,
But I started hating myself.'

உன் காதலை ஏமாற்றிய நான், பிறர் காமத்திற்கு இறை அண்ணேன்.

'I cheated on your love,
But fell as a prey to others lust.'

என் மரணத்தை மன்னிப்பாய் ஏற்றுக்கொள் பொன்னி தாய்யெ.

'Take my death as a forgiveness, mother Kaveri.'

உன்னை சேர நான்.

'To join you.'

With that she jumped in the Kaveri River and Drowned to death, in a journey Towards Karikalan.

Towards the end.
