Mudithukolveeraa?

(Will you be satisfied?)

"Paati"

(Grandma)

Anushman sat beside Oorvashi's feet on the bed, a gentle smile playing on his lips. But she, without sparing him a glance, sat up straight and swung her legs over the edge, letting them dangle freely. 

He gazed at her, only to find her eyes fixed on the wall ahead, lost in thought.

"Paati"

(Grandma)

He called her again, shifting closer to her.

"Ingu un varugaiku kaaranam enna, Anushman?"

(What is the reason for your visit here, Anushman?)

He tried to read her mindset, searching for a clue, but she continued to avoid his gaze.

"Paati. Naan anumadhi petru vara vendumaa thangalin araiku?"

(Grandma. Do I need permission to enter your room?)

He asked her, but she simply sat there, staring blankly, giving no reply.

"Paati"

(Grandma)

He moved closer and reached for her hand, but she quickly swatted it away and uttered,

"En magan'in aasai ennaavadhu Anushman?"

(What is it that my son desires, Anushman?)

She asked without giving him a glance, but when Anushman remained silent, she turned to face him with a straight face and asked,

"Avanadhu irudhi aasai appadiye poi vidumaa? Ummai nambi avan kooriyadhu mannodu mannaagi pogumaa, Anushman? Andha naatin soolchi mattum nam naatil nadathapada villai endraal, enadhu magan ingu, ennudan irundhiruppaan, Anushman"

(Will his last wish simply fade away? Will the work he placed his trust in you for just disappear like that? If the negative tricks of that country hadn't affected ours, my son would be right here beside me, Anushman)

Though her voice cracked as she remembered her son, she maintained a straight posture, causing Anushman to swallow hard and turn away, averting his gaze from her.

"Paati. Avar enadhu thandhai. Avarin aasaiyinai niraivetruvadhu enadhu.."

(Grandma, he is my father. Fulfilling his wish is my....)

He said softly, but she interrupted him with a bitter chuckle, saying,

"Nee avvaaru ninaithirundhaal, en magan'in irappirku kaaranamaana annaatu ilavarasaran'irku virundhunavu alithirukka maataai Anushman"

(If you had truly thought of it that way, then you wouldn't have prepared a feast for the person who is the main reason for your father's death, Anushman)

His palms clenched, and he took a deep breath before standing up in front of her and saying,

"Paati. Ennaal ondrum tharpodhu thangalidam vivarikka mudiyaadhu. Aanaal ondru mattum unmai, enadhu thandhai'ai kolla, soolchi purindhavar'evaraayinum naan avargalai adutha pournami iravirkul, yendha mannil en thandhaiyin uyir pirindhadho, adhey mannil avargalai pudhaipen. Idhu en thaayin meedhu aanai"

(Grandma, I can't justify anything to you. But there is one truth: for my father, whether it is a stranger or someone known, I will bury those who wronged him in the same place where my father's soul departed, under the next full moon. This is my promise to my mother)

Oorvashi stared at him as he touched her feet and left her chamber. He headed towards his own quarters but suddenly stopped, redirecting his path in a surge of anger towards the backside of the palace.

In Yezhisai's chamber,

"Vaa Koorvai"

(Welcome)

The old man removed the cloth that covered his face and head, revealing his features. He then bowed respectfully to her.

"Vananguguren, maatha"

(I bow to you, respected queen)

Yezhisai smiled and gestured for him to sit in front of her on another long couch while she stood near the attached balcony of her chamber, holding an antique golden-colored wine bottle with a bulbous base and a long, narrow neck.

"Illai, thangal mun.."

(No, how will I..)

Yezhisai smirked at his hesitation even to sit in front of her. She then settled onto the stool, leaning back against the headrest, with one leg crossed over the other.

"Pin? Enna thagaval vaithullaai?"

(Then? What information are you holding?)

She asked him. He smiled and said,

"Poorviga naadu valam petru, selithu kondirikiradhu, Maatha"

(The prosperity of the land of Poorviga is flourishing well, respeced queen)

She gripped the bottle.

"Selippu? Selippaaga ulladho umadhu naadu?"

(Prosperity? Is your land flourishing well?)

She chuckled, darkly.

"Aam, maatha. Innum satru kaalangalil ivvarindu naadugalum ondraaga kaikorthaal, miga adhigamaana selippugalai petru, udhyogangal perugi, makkal migavum magizhchi adaivar"

(Yes, respected queen. If these two lands unite, they will achieve significant prosperity, with increased job opportunities and people living in greater happiness.)

She nodded her head, slowly, listening to his words and then asked,

"Mmmm.. makkalin magizhchi'aah? Udhyoga adhigaripu naatin makkalukku magizhchi alikiradhu endraal.. naatu arasavaiku pinnokaagum illayaa?"

(Mmmm... Happiness for the people? If increased job opportunities are bringing joy to the people of the land, then what about the future of the governance?)

Koorvai stared at her simply. She smirked.

"Miga magizhchi kolludhal thavarendu kooru, Koorvai, umadhu makkalidam. Yedhuvum ip'boologathil nirandharam illai endru vivarithu kooru"

(Say, not to mistake the more happiness, Koorvai, to your people. Explain that nothing in this world is permanent and that everything is subject to change)

Koorvai gulped at her tone.

"Ungal pattathu ilavarasan evvaarullaar?"

(How is your country's prince?)

"Maatha"

(Queen)

Koorvai was at a loss for words, realizing that she was planning something.

Yezhisai clapped her hands, and a female secret guard hurried over, bowing as she given a scroll to her.

Yezhisai took the scroll from the guard and watched her leave. She then opened the scroll, reviewed the contents with a smirk, closed it, and extended it towards Koorvai, who looked at her with a furrowed brow.

"Andai naatil irundhu olai thangalukku vandhulladhu Ilavarasae. Ivvaaru koorikondu, yaaridhanai unnidam koduthadhu endru kettaal un pokkil oru poi koori, idhanai unnaatu ilavarasaridam oppadaika vendum"

(There is news from the neighboring country for you, prince. Deliver this to your prince, and if he asks who provided it, offer a vague lie.)

She explained the task to him. Koorvai took the scroll and pocketed it silently.

"Enadhu peyar veli vandhaal.. naan enna seiven endru umaku theriyum allavaa?"

(If my name becomes known outside... don't you already know what I will do?)

Koorvai gulped in fear and nodded his head immediately, saying,

"Theriyum, maatha"

(I know, queen)

"Sel. Yevvalavu viraivil ivvelaiyinai nee mudikiraayo, avvalavu viraivil, unadhu magal bathiramaaga naadu thirumbuvaal"

(Good. The extent of the work you complete will determine how soon your daughter returns to your country)

 "Naan viravil mudithu, nalla seidhiyudan thangalai meendum sandhikiren, maatha"

(I will complete the task soon and return to you with good results, queen)

"Mmm"

Koorvai bowed, touching her foot, and hurried back to his country with a help of her secret guard. 

Once he left, Yezhisai smirked, drank the entire bottle of wine, and then threw it against the wall beside her and her husband's wedding portrait, glaring.

Here beside the backside of the palace,

"Aiyane engulleer"

(Husband, where are you?)

"Aiyane"

(Husband)

"Sooriyadeva"

"Ilavarasae"

(Prince)

Her curious eyes widened, and she smiled as she dashed into his sweaty embrace. His hands, holding the swords, froze mid-air.

"Aiyane"

(Husband)

She wrapped her arms around him, hugging his torso tightly, and snuggled her cheek against his chest, a wide, relieved smile spreading across her face.

"Yen'adi? Enna koochal idhu? Ingu yen vandhaai?"

(Why? What's this shouts? Why have you come here?)

He asked her, pressing his lips on her bare shoulder and leaning towards her neck to inhale her fragrance. She shivered and squirmed, pulling away and stepping back, asking,

"Thaangal engu sendreer?"

(Where have you been?)

"Vaal payirchi'il irukkiren, Nila"

(I'm in sword practice, Nila)

"Iv'iravu polidhil, yedharku thangalukku indha vaal payirchi?"

(Why do you need this sword practice, at this night time?)

"Por'irkaaga"

(For the battle)

He replied after turning back and resuming his practice, swirling the swords in the air. Meanwhile, she stared at him, her smile fading.

"Por?"

(Battle?)

"Aam"

(Yes)

His reply came out breathily as his hands aimlessly swirled the sword in the air.

"Yedharku?"

(For what?)

He smirked, turned towards her with a teasing smile, and asked,

"Un thandhaiyai veeltha vendaamaa?"

(Don't you want me to defeat your father?)

Her expression turned neutral. Anushman smirked at her, swirled the sword in the air, and continued his practice, while she simply watched him.

"Enna Seervizhi vaai adaithu ponaai'aah? un kanavanin vaarthaiyai kettu?"

(Have you become a silent listener after hearing your husband's words?)

She glared at him.

"Appo, thangalin mudivinai maatri kolla povadhillai, appadithaane?"

(Then, it seems you have no intention of changing your mind, is that right?)

"Enna mudivu?"

(What intention?)

"En thandhaiyinai kolla vendum endra mudivu dhaan"

(Your decision to kill my father)

"Naan yeppodhu kanne adhanai maatra povadhaaga koorinen?"

(When have I ever said that I would change my decision?)

He asked again teasingly, unaware of the tears pooling in her eyes.

"Appodhu ennai thirumanam seidhadharkaana kaaranamum ungalin pali theerthal ennam dhaan, illayaa?"

(Then, is it the reason for you to marry me—to defeat my father in the process, right?)

"Aam. Adhill'enna unakku sandhegam?"

(Yes. What doubt do you have about that?)

He smirked. She wiped her tears, turned to walk away, but stopped when her veil was pulled back, her back pressed against his bare chest, and a sharp sword was held to her neck.

"Kobam kondaaiyaa?"

(Are you angry?)

He asked, whispering near her ear, and kissed the area below it.

"Naan.. naan yaar thangalidam kobam kolla? En thandhaiyinai kondru pali theerthu kolla dhaane ennai vivaagam purindhu, ingu thangalidam vaithulleer? Pin naan yen thangalidam kobam kolla pogiren?"

(I... Why would I be angry with you? You have me here just to defeat my father, right? So why would I be angry with you?)

Though she felt goosebumps all over her body, she managed to speak each word boldly. However, she gasped and her chest heaved with rapid breaths as he lifted her face, holding the sword still near her throat.

Her face tilted upward and to the left, and her eyes met his.

"Aam. Adharkaaga dhaan unnai vivaagam purindhen. Enna seivaai ennai? Mm?"

(Yes. That's why I married you. So, what will you do, hmm?)

She gulped, feeling the sword pressing against her throat.

"Mun vandhu ennai naane maaithu kolla enakku oru kanam aagaadhu, ilavarasae "

(It won't take a minute for me to kill myself, moving forward, prince.)

His grip on the sword loosened, and it fell from her neck, sliding over her bosom and dropping near her feet. She wriggled free from his hold and took a step forward but squealed as her feet lifted off the ground. Looking up, she realized he had lifted her into his arms and glared at him.

"Podhum. Melum kadhirgal'ai ennaal utkolla mudiyaadhu, Vizhi"

(Enough. No more rays can be captured, Vizhi)

But, she wriggled in his arms.

"Vidungal"

(Leave ma)

"Mudiyaadha'adi. Aadaadhey. Appadiye aatril veesividuven"

(No way, dear. Don't wriggle. I'll throw you into the river)

She frowned and averted her gaze from him, looking around at the garden in front of the riverbank. The garden, full of flowers, looked even more beautiful under the moonlight. Her lips curved into a smile, and her eyes shined like the moon. Seeing her smile, Anushman gently set her back on her feet and straightened up.

"Idhu.. yeppodhu.."

(This.. when..)

He smiled, overwhelmed with satisfaction as he watched her.

"Pidithirukiradhaa umakku?"

(Do you like this?)

"Yeppodhu idhanai vadivamitheergal?"

(When did you make this?)

"Unakku malargal endraal kolla piriyam endru Sennila vidam koorinaai polum? Adhanaal dhaan unakkaaga naan yerpaadu seidhen. Indha malar thottam muluvadhum ini umakku dhaan. Namadhu payirchi kalathil irundhu idadhupura kadhavin valiyaaga ingu vara vendum"

(Sennila said you like flowers, so I made this garden for you. This entire flower garden is now yours. You can come here through the left doors of the practice area)

He explained while she stared at him and whispered,

"Pali vaangum padalamaaga dhaane ennai thaangal vivaagam purindheer? Pin yedharku idhellaam?"

(Is it just to defeat my father that you married me? Then why all this?)

He sighed, took a step closer to her, cupped her face gently, and tilted it up to make her look at him.

"Ennai paar"

(Look at me)

As her tears streamed down her cheeks, she gazed into his eyes.

"Naan avvaaru ninaithu dhaan unmai vivaagam purindhiruppen endru nee ninaikiraai'ahh, Seervizhi?"

(Do you think I married you just because I want to win over your father, Seervizhi?)

She blinked, swallowing hard.

"Sol Seervizhi. Naan avvaaru seidhiruppenaa?"

(Tell me, Seervizhi. Have I ever done anything like that to you?)

"Naan avaru thaangal seiveergal endru en nithirayil kooda ninaithu paarthadhillai, ilavarasae. Aanaal thaangal dhaane avvaaru koorineer?"

(I never thought you would act like that towards me, prince. But, you are the one who said that to me)

"Naan avvaaru unnidam keli purindhen'amma. Adhanaiyum nee peridhaaga eduthu kolvaayaa?"

(I only teased you, dear. Why are you taking it so seriously?)

He asked her, astonished.

"Avvalavu periya vishyam thangalukku verum keli'ah? En manadhin ennangalai thaangal ariveeraa? Kadhal kanavar endru ninaithu kondirukkum thangalai, naan andha nilaiyil vaithu ninaithadhu kooda illai. Aanaal thaangal thangaladhu kadhal poi endru.."

(It's just a tease for you? Do you know the emotions of my heart? Even though I see you as my lovable husband, I haven't thought of you in that way. But you see it as a lie of love..)

She gasped and straightened herself on her toes, hissing in pain as his long fingertips pressed against the side of her bare waist, pulling her closer to his chest.

"Poi'aah? Unmel irukkum en kadhal unakku poi'aah Seervizhi?"

(Lies? Is the love I have for you a lie, Seervizhi?)

His harsh tone made her gulp nervously.

"Naan dhaan adhu keli puriya koorinen endru solgiren allavaa? Adhanai seri seiyavum, mannippirkaagavum, unadhu aasaiyai niravetravum dhaan ivvalavu periya malar thottathinai uruvaakinen. Aanaal nee? Adhanai poi endru koorigiraai allavaa?"

(Didn't I say I was only teasing you? To make it right, to apologize, and to fulfill your desires, I created this vast flower garden. But you? You're calling it a lie, aren't you?)

He asked, his gaze intense as he maintained his firm grip on her waist. She winced in discomfort.

"Valikiradhu"

(It's paining)

He loosened his grip, took a deep breath, and leaned down to place a gentle kiss on her forehead, followed by her cheeks. She closed her eyes, clutching her skirt tightly. When she opened her eyes again, she saw him taking her hand and guiding her along the moonlit path through the flower garden.

She traced the flowers with her free hand, unable to bring herself to pluck any from their stems. She thought to herself, 'It's beautiful just where it is'

As the sounds of the river reached her ears and a chill ran over her, causing goosebumps on her skin, she turned her gaze past his bicep to the river ahead. There, she saw a long swing hanging from the trees, adorned with yellow flower blankets and pillows.

Her eyes widened with excitement, and her smile grew brighter. Wiping away her dried tears with her free hand, she wriggled out of his hold and hurried towards the swing, attempting to hop onto it with enthusiasm.

However, the swing was positioned a little too high off the ground. With a gentle smile, he stepped in front of her, lifted her with ease, and carefully placed her onto the swing. She clutched the swing beside her thighs with a nervous smile and glanced at him from the corner of her eye as he settled down beside her.

She averted her gaze to the river, lost in the serene scene, while he gently pushed the swing back and forth with his feet. At one point, she instinctively gripped his thigh but quickly pulled her hand away. He, however, caught her hand, gently as he drew her hand closer to his lips, kissing her knuckles softly.

"Unadhu manippu kidaikumaa Seervizhi, un sooriyadevan'irku?"

(Will your forgiveness be granted, Seervizhi, for your sun god?)

She blinked, gave him a slight smile, and nodded her head in agreement.

He smiled, gently placed her palm against his cheek, and kissed her wrist. As she wriggled and averted her gaze from his intense eyes, he wrapped his other arm around her waist from behind, pulling her closer to cherish this moment more beautiful beside his love of life. Her breathing became rapid, and she gulped as he leaned in and pecked her lips. She whimpered, gripping his hair and the hand holding her waist, while his other hand rested on her abdomen. 

As he continued to kiss her, she eventually opened her eyes, gazing at his calm face as his lips pressed against hers with desire. Slowly, she released her grip on his hand at her waist and moved his other hand from her abdomen to her bosom.

As he became more absorbed in kissing her, he unintentionally pressed her bosom hard, causing her to moan in pain. Realizing his mistake, he pulled his hand away from her bosom and broke the kiss, his gaze fixed on her as he stared at her with concern.

"Vizhi"

"Ilavarasae"

(Prince)

She gently placed his hand back on her bosom, her gaze steady despite the tear that fell from her eye. Her lips quivered slightly as she spoke,

"Ungal aasaiyinai enmel theerthu kondu, pali unarvai mudithukolveeraa?"

(Will you resolve your desires upon me and satisfy your longing to kill my father?)

His breath hitched at her question. As he began to open his mouth to explain his plans about the war, a mixture of thoughts swirling in his mind, she abruptly stood up from the swing. And, without a word, she dashed towards the garden and quickly made her way through the door towards their chamber, not once looking back. 

Meanwhile, Anushman remained seated, his regret settling heavily on him, for teased his innocent wife and causing her so much distress and making her overthink about his intentions and his love for her.
