In other words, they belong to types that could fall in love but couldn't live together.
Aditha stared at her, confused by the name she had just spoken.
For a moment he thought he had misheard.
But Sangamithra slowly lifted her trembling hand.
With her forefinger, she pointed weakly at herself.
Sangamithra: Sarojini... naan... Sarojini...
Aditha frowned, completely bewildered.
Aditha: Enna koorugiraai kanne?
She gathered what little strength she had left and continued.
Sangamithra: Aiyyane... naan indha kaalatthai serndhaval alla...
Sangamitthirai padhinaaru aandugalukku mun irandhu ponaal...
Naan... avaludaiya udalil...
En peyar Sarojini... indha aandu 1511...
Naan idharku munnar uyir thurandha aandu... 1995.
Aditha looked at her in stunned silence.
For a moment, a terrible thought crossed his mind.
Had the poison begun to cloud her thoughts?
Was she speaking out of delirium?
But when he looked into her eyes, there was no confusion there.
Only conviction. Only truth.
Slowly, he spoke.
Aditha: Andha kaalatthil pirandhu... edharku ingu vandhaai kanne?
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
Sangamithra: Thangalai kaakka...
Nam naadu sezhikka...
She struggled to breathe before continuing.
Sangamithra: Thaangal ennudaiya kaala nilaiyil... Rajendiranin karatthil uyir thurandheergal aiyyane...
Adhanal nam desam edhirigalin karangalil sendru serndhadhu...
Nam makkal adimaigalaga ainooru aandugalukkum mel vaazhndhanar...
Her voice trembled.
Sangamithra: Andha adimai koottatthil pirandhaval dhaan naan...
Aditha remained completely still.
She continued slowly.
Sangamithra: Tholporul aaraiychiyaalanaana en sagodharar thangalin sadalatthin meedhangalai kandariya...
Avarudan sendru ungalai paarkka virumbiyaval naan...
A soft, teasing smile appeared on her lips despite her condition.
Sangamithra: Thaangal dhaan ennai kandu pala dhinangal kaatthirundhu... kaadhal kondeergal...
She let out a faint breath that almost resembled laughter.
Sangamithra: Naan thangalin meedhangalai kande kaadhal konden... theriyuma?
Even at the edge of death, she was teasing him.
Aditha's eyes filled with tears.
Aditha: Kanne...
His mind struggled to accept her words. Yet he could not reject them either.
And then, memory after memory flashed before him.
She had foreseen his father's death.
She had known details of his wedding night arrangements.
