The First Empress

Sangamithra's decision

The sky is dark'ning like a stain Something is going to fall like rain
And it won't be flowers.

In the next few days, Sangamithra had made the decision to do solemn resolution towards the lord. Her increasing nightmares pushed her towards the decision. Every single day, she saw people of Zilam dying in her nightmares. For all of them, she wished to give up on her luxurious life.

Sangamithra: Avargal Anaivarin azhivaiyum en orutthiyin theetchai thadukkum endraal adhai seiyya naan endrum thaayar.

She said the words to Sevili. Sevili cried from the day Sangamithra had informed her of her decision.

Even Rukmani wasn't so happy about her decision.

Rukmani: Un vaazhvil innum pala suga bogangal kaatthirukka indha mudivu avasiyam dhaana magale???

Sangamithra: Thaangal theetchai pettru vitteergale atthai???

She asked looking at all the rudraksha maalai around Rukmani's neck.

Rukmani: Naan vaazhvil anaitthaiyum anubavitthu vitten magale... Ini Enakku irukkum ore maargam andha iraivanin thiruvadi mattume...

Sangamithra: Naanum andha nilaiyil dhaan irukkiren atthai.. anaitthum seidhu paartthu vitten.. ini Enakku endru irukkum ore maargam avanadi panivadhu dhaan...

En vedhanaiyai purindhu en manakkuraiyai Avan theertthaale indha piravi muzhuvadhum avanukku thondaattri en vaazhvai muditthu kolven...

Rukmani: Un pillaigal enna aavar???

Sangamithra: Neengal irukkireergal... Sevili irukkiraal... Melum Naanum ingu dhaane irukka pogiren???

Rukmani: Adithanin nilaiyai enni paar magale... Avan unnai andri pirarai thirumanam seiyya maattaan enbadhai Marandhu vittaaya???

Sangamithra eyes teared up. However, she didn't answer. She wanted to say that she was willing to make that sacrifice only to save him. However, she didn't want to scare anyone at this point.

Sangamithra: Avaridam naan pesi kolgiren atthai... Avar ennai purindhu kolvaar.

Rukmani: adhu dhaan en vedhanai... Unnudaiya endha korikkaiyaiyum marukkaadhavan immurai mattum maruppaana enna???

Sangamithra was silent.

Rukmani: Ungal iruvarin pillaigalai vida neengal iruvarum dhaan Enakku adheedha vedhanaigalai tharugireergal...

Vazhi vidu Sevili... Un devi mudivedutthu vittaal. Ini andha Eesan vandhu thadutthaalum aval maara povadhillai...

With that, Rukmani left the chamber. Sevili cried wordlessly looking at Sangamithra.

Aditha returned to the palace the very next day. Sangamithra welcomed him and took him to thirumanjana saalai as the first thing.

She washed him without saying anything and he also didn't talk much as the last few days were gory and bloody.

After washing up all the dried blood, she helped him with dressing.

He then looked at her for the first time in the day.

Aditha: Kanne... Un kangalil itthanai sorvu yean???

Sangamithra: Urakkam illai Arasey... Thaangal sendra kaariyam enna aanadhu???

Aditha: Nermaraiyaaga valavanai kondra anaivaraiyum kondru vittom... Aanal Rajendiran innum agappadavillai..

Avan en karangalil sikkum naal avanudaiya irudhi naalaaga irukkum...

Sangamithra: Appadiye nadakkattum Arasey...

Aditha: Nee kadandha sila dhinangalil kanavugal edhenum kandaayaa???
