The First Empress

Paadasaalai

Smart people focus on the right things.

Aditha: Yaarange....

As Sevili came running inside the chamber, Aditha informed her.

Aditha: Sendru un kanavanidam indre Malaiyoorukku purappada Anaitthu yerpaadugalaiyum seiyyum padi kooru Sevili...

Sevili: Idho selgiren Arasey...

She looked at Sangamithra for a second and then quickly ran out of the chamber. Aditha looked at Sangamithra who looked completely horrified.

Aditha: Kanne.... Enna kanaa kandaai???

Rudhra also entered their chamber at that time. He was on night patrol and noticed Sevili running out of his parents' chamber.

Rudhra: Kanaa kandeergala thaaiye!???

Sangamithra looked at them and said.

Sangamithra: Naan viraindhu theetchai pera vendum...

Aditha: Enna kanaa kandaai????

Sangamithra: Nam naadu anniyargalin pidiyil adimai aagum kanaa kanden...

Rudhra: Adhu oru podhum nigazhaadhu.........

Sangamithra: Nigazhdhal koodaadhu...

Aditha: Indha naattin nanmaikkaaga thaan nee dheetchai yerka virumbugiraaiya kanne???? Appadi oru thavarai seidhu vidadhe... Paraman thanditthu viduvaan...

Sangamithra: Illai Aiyyane... Andha paraman ennai thanditthaalum Paravayillai... Ennidam kobam kollum urimai avanukku irukkiradhu... Avanai naadum urimai Enakku irukkiradhu... Avanukkaga ennai arpanikkum manathidamum Enakku irukkiradhu...

Aditha nodded his head.

Sevili reached her small pavilion in the palace and went in search of Subodhan. Subodhan looked freshly bathed and he was also getting their children up.

Sevili found him with panting breaths.

Sevili: Aiyyane... Aiyyane...

Subodhan: Sollamma...

Sevili: Indre Malaiyoor purappada vendum endru arasar aanai ittu irukkiraar... Thangalai adharkaana yerpaadugalai seiyyum padiyum koorinaar..

Subodhan: Ippodhe selgiren... Nee kulitthu purappattu maaligai vandhuvidu..

As he was about to leave, her face changed.

Subodhan: Enna aanadhu???

Sevili cried and said.

Sevili: Maadha vidaai.... Devikku udhava iyalaadhu... Udan sella iyalaadhu... Enna seiven Aiyyane...????

Subodhan: Varuttham kollaadheyamma... Oivu edu... Naange thinangal... Avargal thirumbi vandhu viduvar... Piragu nee Eppodhum pola un devikku panividaigal seiyyalam...

She nodded her head with eyes full of tears. He wiped her tears and touched her head.

Subodhan: Naanum ingu dhaan irukka pogiren... Pillaigalum ingu dhaan irukka pogindranar... Avargalai gavanitthu kolla enaku udhavuvaai dhaane????

Sevili: Udhavuven Aiyyane...

Subodhan then left the chamber to the palace.

It was early in the morning. All the carriages were getting prepared for the travel towards Malaiyoor.

As Sangamithra finished her bathing and came back, she found Aditha instead of Sevili.

Sangamithra: Sevili varavillaiya???
