'Stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution.

They both walked out of the boutique and her leg slipped when she was walking down the stairs and he held her hand to stop her from falling..

Adi: paathu nada...

Suhasini: unnai yaaru vegama poga soldra???

You are tall and big.. You can walk... Think about me.. I'm short and sweet...

And ivlo naal you walked alone... Now you have me with you... Slow down...

She said it non-chalantly. But it hit him different... The girl walking behind him was going to become his wife. Even though it was only for few years, they might have to share so many things in between..

They reached the palace soon.

Adi: you will see my grandma and mom hopefully... Dad is on tour.. My brother and sister are out of country..

His brother Eeshwar was one of country's finest businessmen. They stayed on top of the food chain. They had big line of businesses. He also had a younger sister called oorvashi.. She was studying abroad.

Suhasini: you mean.. Empress Dowager???

Adi: yes...

She acted like fainting..

Suhasini: hold me one second...

Adi: what???

Suhasini: I'm going to meet my idol.. Enna??? She is such a strong queen in our history.. Even though we don't follow monarchy anymore.. With due respect to late emperor, after his demise, it was her who said people to vote for a commoner as your father was so young..

I love her... This is the only best thing happened after meeting you so far...

Adi stared at her....

Adi: ulla vandhu edhuvum olaradhe...

Suhasini: matten matten...

But he did not believe her.

They both were welcomed by Madhana..

Madhana: Aww en marumaga evlo azhaga irukka....

Adi: Amma...

He nodded at her

Adi: Idhu Suhasini...

Madhana: nee sollanuma?? I can guess it easily... Evlo azhaga irukka...

Suhasini touched her feet..

Madhana: elinchiru ma.. Nalla irukkanum..

Suhasini: nalla irukkingala Maa??

Madhana: nalla irukken da...

Enaku en marumagal eh pudichiruku Adi...

Adi was shocked to see this development. His mom always had her head high and she stayed unapproachable for most of the people. But they both got along with each other so easily.

Madhana: vaanga ulla polam.. Paati waiting....

------

Empress looked at her from head to toe...

Empress: you look good...

Suhasini: nandri paati...

She smiled at her..

Empress: come here...

Will you become my grand daughter-in-law???

Suhasini: yes...

Empress: Do you like him??

Suhasini: no...

Empress: then???

Suhasini: enaku ungale romba pidikum.. Ungale maari irukanum nu aasai.. You are bold and strong.. Undeterred.. Focused.. Iron fisted... Adhan..

Empress laughed for her answer..

Empress: you know your way with words..

She grinned sheepishly..

At that time, Nathan requested for entry..

Empress: come in..

Nathan: Your Majesty.. Prime minister is needed for a minute...

Empress: carry on...

Adi went out with Nathan to answer the call.

He was busy answering the call. Suddenly he heard a melodious voice from the courtyard where empress lived.. He walked towards the voice..

-----

In the courtyard, Empress and Madhana were looking at her...

Suhasini started singing...

Ethanil tholainthaal…..

 Ethanil tholainthaal neeyae varuvaai

He came there at that moment. He was shocked to see the scene in front of his eyes.. She stopped singing when she looked at him.

Empress: You sing so good... Have this...

She then looked at him.. He nodded his head.

Madhana smiled at their action.

She received a box from the empress.

Empress: Enga veetu marumagalku naan prepare panna gift Idhu... I will give you something big next time for your beautiful singing.

She looked inside the box and smiled bashfully.

Suhasini: wow paati... Bangles... These are old yet modern...

Adi was speechless when she started her blabbering...

Suhasini: They still look so stylish and sleek.. Idhu yaaro semma fashion sense irukkavanga use pannirukanum...

Madhana smiled and said...

Madhana: adhu paati odadhu...

Suhasini: sorry paati neraiya pesitena...

Empress: no... Unaku veanumna idhe maathiko..

Suhasini: no no no no no... They look stylish.. These are so precious... Naan maatha matten Paatti... En idol neenga use pannadhu vera....

They all laughed heartily.. Adi had no idea how things developed in this way..

Empress: Madhana show her palace around.

Madhana: Sari Maa...

They both exited the courtyard..

Empress: you see that girl... She is good in heart.. Keep her safe..

Adi: Monica thavirthu ellarume ungalku nallavanga dhaane???

Empress: I dare you to say it louder..

Adi: Sorry...

Empress: That Monica girl is venomous... She has plans in her mind.. This girl is simple in heart.. You will learn...

Adi: I think I should take my leave...

And he turned to leave..

Empress: You both will be getting married in a week..

He halted his steps..

Adi: I will be ready....

Empress: Leave her here.. You can take her home after getting married..

Adi lived in his own house as he was a clean freak with borderline OCD. He always stayed away from people as he required his own space. All of their children lived out of the palace when they started earning.

Adi: As you wish....

He then walked out and saw her walking towards him with Madhana... He looked at his mom and started talking.

Adi: Okay I will take my leave...

Madhana: vandhu poite iru... Don't leave her alone.. Naanga inga vayasu aanavanga dhaan irukkom... Ingaye iru na keka matre??

Adi: I have so many things to take care mom.. I can't be irresponsible...

Madhana: She is also your responsibility..

Suhasini: Let him take care of his work Maa.. I will be with you.. You are the best...

He is always staring at me.. And boring....

Madhana smiled at her...

Madhana: Yeah he is a bit boring...

He glared at both of them..

Adi: Bye....

He came back to office to finish all his meetings. Being a prime minister kept him busy all the time.. He had meeting after meeting.. He reached home only by 8.

He saw Monica standing near the entrance of his home.

Adi: why are you standing here?? You could have waited inside the house..

She tried to touch him.. He took a step back... She looked angry..

She entered the house behind him. He sat on the sofa in the living area..

Adi: Tell me what happened???

Monica: What is this??

She showed him evening newspaper. He scratched his head and he was not even in the mood to take a peek.

Adi: Tell me exactly... I'm tired..

Monica: epdi Illama irukkum?? You are going to get married.. Ellam ready pannanum le..

He then got the newspaper from her and looked at the news..

Our young prime minister is no longer available.. It looks like that he is getting hitched finally.. He was seen shopping with a girl and then he took her to the palace to meet the empress... Are wedding bells going to ring finally??

It was a speculated news.. But it was accurate.. It even had their photo of holding hands.. It was taken in an angle where they looked happily at each other. It was actually taken when she slipped on the stairs.

Adi: Listen.. Sattham podadhe.. I need to explain few things..

Monica: Idhule irukka news unmaiya illaya Sollu..

Adi: its true.. I'm getting married...

She plopped to the floor and cried.

Adi: stop crying... Before anything, listen to me.. We are being forced to get married by my family.. We will get a divorce eventually.. She needs to work on her career and I don't wish to be married.. So everything will get over in few years...

You can go and get married.. Start a new life.. I will not ask you to wait for me.. You have already sacrificed your years of youth for me... I don't want you to waste anymore time on me..

She then rose from the floor and started wiping her tears.. He hid the fact that they slept together as he did not want to hurt her anymore.

Monica: you said you will get divorce right??? I will wait for you... Please Adi... I need you... You are my love.. Even though I cannot touch you.. I stayed with you all these years...

These words made him feel guilty. He then nodded.

His phone suddenly started ringing...

Its Madhana...

Adi: give me a second...

He then attended the call..

Adi: Hello mom.. Calling me at this time.. What happened??

There was no answer from other side..

Adi: Suhasini...

Suhasini: Naan dhaan...

Adi: Enna??

Suhasini: Empress asked me to talk with you..

Adi: Adhuku dhaan call panniya??

Suhasini: Ama...

Adi: Adhan ippo pesiyachi le..

Suhasini: enaku mattum aasai ah pesa... Paati is looking at me... Ipdi maati vittutu poitiye

She whispered...

Adi: nee dhaane paati paati sonne...

Monica who was standing in the side looked at his face.. He looked relaxed and he had a small smile in his face.. She then  made a little sound.

Suhasini: Kooda yaarachi irukkangala???

Adi: yeah... Monica...

Suhasini: unga love birds time eh naan disturb pannale... You enjoy... But don't touch her..

Adi: I know... You already talk like my wife...

Suhasini: your face.. You are the one who said that you will get rash... Naan vekkuren.. Idhuku paati eh paravale...

He then cut the call. Monica looked at him..

Adi: She is young and wild.. But good in her heart..

Monica: Enna irundhalum enaku Bayama irukku Adi..

Adi: You don't worry.. You go home.. Its getting late..

Monica knew that he would not let her stay as he stood far away from her. Even though they had been loving for years. They had never even held their hands because of his illness.. She was relieved that even if suhasini married him, she cannot touch him too.. She then walked out of his home with an happy face..
