The First Empress

Sangamithra's bad feeling

This is the beginning of the end.

A few months later...

Sangamithra woke up with a bad headache again that day. In recent times, indecipherable nightmares were giving her headaches. She woke up in a sour mood. However, on the other hand Sevili was in a bright mood.

Sangamithra took her medicinal bath and changed her dresses and walked out of her chamber with Sevili. Her headache also eased a bit.

Sangamithra: Sirittha mugamaaga kaanappadugiraaiye Sevili... Enna nerndhadhu???

Sevili: Thangaludaiya udalnilaiyai karudhi thangalukku udhava oruvar vandhirukkiraar... Andha magizhcchi dhaan devi...

Sangamithra: Enakku udhavuvadharku oruvar vandhirukkiraara??? Yaar adhu??? Naan paarkka vendume...

Sevili: Dharalaamaga thaangal avarai sandhikkalam... Aanal adharku ennudan thaangal ambalatthirku vara vendum...

Sangamithra: Ambalatthirkaa??? Gurumaargal yaarenum vandhirukkiraargala???

Sevili shook her head.

Sevili: Ivarai kandaal kandippaaga Thangal manam kulirndhu vidum...

Sangamithra followed Sevili with curious eyes.

Sangamithra: Sivalayam angirukka ingu Engu selgiraai???

Sevili: thangalai sandhikka vandhiruppadhu nayanmar allave...

Sangamithra: Indru nee ennai migavum kuzhappugiraai...

Sevili: Vaarungal vaarungal...

Sangamithra followed her with a smiling face. As they reached a Vishnu temple at the other corner of the palace, Sevili held Sangamithra's hands and brought her inside.

She then whispered to her.

Sevili: Indru maargazhi naangam naal andro??? Adhanaal thangalai kaana vandhavar paasuram paadi kondirukkiraar...

Sangamithra excitedly walked ahead and tried to see the person for herself. Before she could see the person, she heard the young girl singing...

Aazhi mazhai kannaa
Ondru nee kai karavel
Aazhiyul pukku
Muganthu kodaartheri

Oozhi mudhalvan uruvampol
Mei karuthu
Paazhiyam tholudai
Padmanaban kaiyil

Aazhipol minni
Valampuripol nindradhirndhu
Thaazhaathae saarngam
Udhaitha sara mazhaipol

Vaazha ulaginil
Peidhidaai naangalum
Maargazhi neeraada
Magizhnthelor embaavaai

As Sangamithra recognized the voice, she went near and noticed Lokanayagi dressed as Aandal.

Sangamithra lifted her in her arms and swirled her.

Sangamithra: Kanne... Kani amudhe... En selvame... Enna Azhagu??? Paarthaaiya Sevili en marumagalai???

Sevili: Paarthen Devi Paarthen... Thangaludaiya Marumagal Immurai Thangaludaiya kurai pokka vandhirukkiraar...

Sangamithra: En kurai pokkava???

Sevili: Aam... Thaangal pen pillaiyindri vaadugireer endru Sanna desatthu arasarum arasiyaarum pesi kolla nam sanna desatthu ilavarasi... En maamikku kuraiya??? Endru kettu ini naan avarudan dhaan irukka pogiren endru purappattu vandhu vittaaram...

Margazhi nonbai kooda thangalukkaaga ingu vandhu thodargiraar...

Sangamithra smiled and kissed Loka on her cheeks.
