The First Empress

Arrival of the Crown Prince

'Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step'

Three weeks later....

The palace was geared up for the wedding of Subodhan and Sevili. Even though Sangamithra was nearing her full term, she was running around and getting everything ready for her young maid's wedding.

On the day of the wedding...

Sangamithra was helping Sevili with her dressing.

Sangamithra: Indha malar unakku azhagaaga irukkum.. Innum malargalai edutthu vara solliyirukkiren.. azhudhu Adam seiyyaamal vaitthu kol..

However, Sevili stayed calm throughout the entire time.

Sangamithra looked at her face and asked.

Sangamithra: Yean indha mounam Sevili??? Enna aanadhu?? Unakku indha thirumanatthil viruppam illaiya???

As she looked at her face, she noticed her tears.

Sangamithra: Heiii... Sevili...

Sevili: Indha thirumanam avasiyam dhaanaa Devi???

Sangamithra: Unaku alosagarai pidikkavillaiya??

Sevili looked away.

Sangamithra: Sol..

Sevili: En viruppam edharku devi???

Sangamithra: Yean endraal tharpodhu nadappadhu ennavarin aatchi... Ingu anaivarukkum avaravar viruppam pola vaazha urimai irukkiradhu.. Aagaiyaal Neeyum un viruppam pola dhaan vazha vendum..

Sevili: Naan sendru vittaal thaangal enna seiveergal??

Thirumanam mudindha panippen thangalukku pani seiyya koodadha devi???

Sangamithra with a smile held Sevili's hands.

Sangamithra: Indha karangalai paar. Enakaga ivai uzhaitthu thoindhadhu podhaadhaa???

Sevili: Idhai kaaranam kaatti ennai thalli vaikka ennugirir devi.. idharkaaga dhaan naan thayangugiren.. Indha thirumanatthai naan seidhu kolla vendumaanal thaangal arasaridam idhu kuritthu pesaamal irukka vendum.. Naan thangaludan dhaan iruppen..

Sangamithra hugged Sevili.

Sevili was shocked and taken aback.

Sevili: Devi... Thaangal ennai anaippadhaa???

Sangamithra was teary eyed.

Sangamithra: Naan ingu vandha Piragu Enakku yaarum illai endru pala velaigalil enniyirukkiren.. Aanal endha velaiyilum en karatthai vidaamal irundhaval nee... Unakku Innum etthanai piravigal aanaalum indha Mithirai kadaimai pattaval Sevili...
