Maelnaatu ilavarasi vaazhga..Maelnaatu ilavarasi vaazhga..Maelnaatu ilavarasi vaazhga..

Princess Sayuri, in her alluring look from her top, till her toe.. graced the ground with her footprints.Her multilayered forehead pendant with red and green stones.Her ears and neck adorned with gold of rubies and uncut diamonds with the unique designs of birds, flowers, flora, fauna motifs which we see in temple sculptures made her look like an pure goddess.

Her dress, made her mysterious with a touch of magic as it layered the clothes that used in the modern corsetting into kanjeevarams by giving her a structured look.

She clasped her hands infront of her chest towards the old man who clasped back smiling at her.

"Enna amaichare thaangale vandhirukkirreergal..?"

(Why have you come here, Minister?)

She asked after getting her hands down.

"Ilavarasi paadhugaapaaga varugiraargalaa ena kaana vandhen, ilavarasi?"

(I came to see if the princess is coming safely, princess)

She chuckled.

"Em makkal ithunai paer irukkumboludhu..enakku paadhugaapu thevai dhaanaa?"

(When there are so many people..do I need any protection?)

"Aranmani vaazhkai vaazhum thangalukku... otran matrum edhirigal patri theriyaamal irukka vaaipu illai endru ninaikiren.."

(I don't think there is a chance for those who live a palace life... to be unaware about their spy and enemies..)

She smiled at him.

"Adharku dhaan avargalai edhirka en thandhai uhm thamayanum vithaigal katru thandullaargaley?"

(That's why my father and brother taught me tricks to fight them?)

"Adhu ennamo unmai dhaan ilavarasi.."

(Whatever it is,it's true princess)

"Mmm..ippozhudhu sollungal..ennai paadhugaapadharku varuvadhaaga poi koori..ennai kaana vandhadharkkaana kaaranam enna vendru.."

(Hmmm..now tell me..what is the reason why you came to see me by lying about coming to protect me..)

"Ilavarasi idam pesi jeikka mudiyum ena ninaithadhu en thavaru dhaan..ennai mannithu vidungal Ilavarasi.."

(It was my mistake to think that I could win by talking to Princess..Forgive me..)

He clasped his hands again but she grabbed it in halfway shooking her head.

"Thevai atradharkku naam kai koopuvadhu thavaru Amaichare..enna venbadhai koorungal.."

(It is wrong for us to raise our hands when there is no need, Minister.. Tell me what to do..)

He smiled at her.She smiled back and moved inside the palace as he walked behind her.

"Thangalukku oru olai suvadi vandhirikiradhu Ilavarasi."

(A leaf(like a parchment) has come for you, princess.)

She turned towards him narrowing her eyebrows.

"Olai suvadi aah?"

(A parchment?)

"Aam Ilavarasi..oru puraavin moolam vandhadhu..aanaal..adhil.."

(Yes princess..came by a dove..but..in it..)

"Adhil?"

(in it?)

"Adhai paarkumbodhey vichithiramaaga ulladhu Ilavarasi"

(It's strange to look at, princess.)

"Vichithiram aah?"

(Strange?)

"Aamaam Ilavarasi.."

(Yes,Princess)

"Engey kaanbiyungal.."

(Show me,somewhere)

Minister took the palm leaf parchment from his waist belt an gave it to her.

"Ilavarasi.."

(Princess)

"Koorungal amaicharey...kettukondu dhaan irukkiren.."

(Tell me minister...I am just listening..)

"Neengal adhanai thangal araikku sendru pirithu kaanungalen?"

(Can you go to their room and take it apart?)

"Yen?"

(why)

"Adhu.."

(It is..)

"Enna vaayitru Amaicharey..muluvadhum koorungal..thaangal yedho ennidam maraipadhu pola thondrugiradhu.."

(What's wrong minister..tell me the whole thing..it seems like you are hiding something from me..)

"Thaangal mudhalil adhan mel eludhi iruppadhai vaasithu paarungal.."

(You first read, what is written on it.)

She grimaced and took a read at the writings on the parchment and smiled seeing the words.

"Ilavarasiyai thavira yaaraavadhu idhanai thirandhu padikka ninaithaal..iravil umadhu kanavil vandhu uranga vidaamal seiven..adhu mattum alla..indha olaiyai Ilavarasi idam sertha piragu adhanai olindhu nindru paarka muyarchi seibavargalukkum adhey nilamai dhaan..naan kuzhandhai endru ninaithu idhanai alachiyamaaga ninaikka vendaam

~~~~Ippadikku thangal nalam virumbi"

(Anyone but the princess thought to read this again..I will come to your dreams at night and not let you sleep...Not only that.. After handing over this leaf to the Princess, it is a same situation for those who hide and try to see it..Don't take this for granted, thinking I am a child

~~~~By your Wellwisher)

She snickered after complete reading it.

"Anaithaiyum eludhi vittu..ippadikku thangal nalam virumbiyaam.."

(After writing everything down..then it's, well wisher itseems)

"Avan yaarendru theriya villai Ilavarasi..idhanai kanda anaivarum urakkam illaamal moondru naatkalaaga avadhi pattukondu irukkirom.."

(I don't know who he is Princess..All of us who saw this are suffering for three days without sleep..)

"Appo..avan solvadhu pol nadandhadhaa..?neengal idhanai pirithu padithu paatheergalaa?Enna eludhi irundhadhu?"

(So..did it happen as he says..?Did you read it?What was written?)

She asked excitedly.

"Aiyo illai Ilavarasi..thangalukku vandha olaiyave padikka naangal thuniya maatom..idhil ippadi eludhi iruppadhai kandu yevvaaru engalaal padikka iyalum?"

(Oh no princess..we will not read the leaf that came to you..how can we read it after seeing it written like this?)

She shooked her head at him.

"Unmai dhaan..naan en thandhaiyai kaana selvadhaaga dhaan irundhadhu..aanaal.."

(True..I was going to see my father..but..")

She dragged seeing the parchment.

"Indha olai chuvadi ennai ilukiradhu pola unargiren..naan enadhu arayil irukkiren..oru araimani neram ennai yaarum kaana vara vendaam endru koori vidungal..appa kettaal oiveduppadhaaga koorungal Amaicharey.."

(I feel like this trail of leaves is pulling me towards it..I am in my room..tell everyone not to disturb me for next half an hour..if dad asks, say him that I'm taking rest,Minister)

She said with slight whine making him to smile.

"Nichiyamaaga..thaangal enakkum valarppu magal allavaa..thangalaiye maati vida ninaippenaa..??"

(Surely..are you not my adopted daughter..?Do I think of trapping you..??)

She smiled widely at him.

"Mikka nandri Amaichare.."

(Thank you so much, Minister)

She pinched his cheeks and ran towards her room by holding her long skirt as her black dense hairs danced like a rhythm.

"Ingu yedho nadakka pogiradhu..aanaal enna vendru dhaan theriyavillai..aandavukke velicham aagum.."

(Something is going to happen here..but I don't know what will..God only knows..)

He shooked his head smiling seeing her disappearing figure and left from there saying the kaavalaalis(guards) not to make anyone to disturb her.

Here, Sayuri locked the door and ran towards her bed and plopped on it on her front and looked at the parchment breathing heavily but her curved lips didn't fail to give her beautiness that radiates genuinely from her heart.

"Yaaraaga irukkum..enna eludhi iruppaargal..?Yedharkku ivalavu maraithu maraithu kodukka vendum?Pirithu padippomaa..yaaraavadhu thevai illaamal edhaadhu seidhirundhaal?Namakku dhaan ayudham yendhi palakka irukkiradhey..seevi vidalaam.."

(Who will they be? What they have written? Why should they need to hide it so much to reach it to me?Shall I read it?..or what If someone has done something unnecessarily? We have a habit of carrying weapons right...if it is then will chop off their head.. )

She smirked gracefully and loosened the thread on the parchment and opened it before reading.,

"Thendral poothukulungum poonjolaiyum thalai kuniyum ungaladhu koondhalin alagain kandu.. vedhanaiyurum andha poonjolaikku enna badhil koorapogireergal Ilavarasi?"

(The breeze that blows through the flowergarden will bow their head by seeing the beauty of your hair..What are you going to say to that flowergarden which is in pain, princess?)

She frowned and turned the next page of leaf.

"Nilavu dhaan karu vaanangalil thavilndhu sellum..aanaal thangalin kangalil yen nilavai peridhaaki vaanathai siridhaaki ulleergal...vaanam thavippadhu thangal kangalukku theriyavillaiyaa?"

(Moon only creeps in dark skies..But why have you made the moon bigger and the sky smaller in your eyes...Can't your eyes see that how the sky is suffering?)

She smiled and turned next.

"Mookin nuni yen ivalavu koormaiyaaga ulladhu..kobam kollaadheergal Ilavarasi..idhu thangal kannadiyin pulambal aagum.."

(Why is the tip of the nose so sharp..don't get angry Princess..this is the lamentation of your mirror..)

"Kannadiyin pulambala?Un pulambala?Yaaradaa nee?"

(The lament of the mirror or  Your lament? Who are you man?")

She shooked her head and turned next.

"Thangal idhayam ippozhudhey naan yaarena therindhu kolla kodhikiradhu endru theriyum..aanal..adutha pakkathai thiruppungal..en varnanaiyil irundhu ennaal meela mudiya villai.."

(I know that your heart is burning to know who I am right now..but..do turn the next page..I can't get over from my comments on you..)

She smiled and turned next.

"Roja mottukkal paarthirukireergalaa?Avai anaithum ungaladhu idhazhai paarthu vedhanai kolgiradhu..yen ivvaaru seigireergal?avai paavam allavaa?"

(Have you seen the rose buds? They are all aching to see your petals..Why are you doing this? Aren't they sins?)

She blushed and layed flat on the bed turning next.

"Alavaana kaluthu valaivu..alagaana iduppin madippu..thangal aadai potrum siriya kaalgal..ivai anaithaiyum paarthu..thoonga iyalaamal thavikkum enadhu iru kangal..ivai anaithirkum enna theervu kodukka pogireergal devi?"

(Perfect curve of the neck..beautiful waistline..small legs that compliment their dress..Seeing all this..my two eyes are suffering from not being able to sleep..What solution are you going to give to all these Devi?)

Her beetroot cheeks made her to feel similar with her red saree.

"Idharku theervum naane kooravaa?"

"Theriyume..unadhu leelaigal unadhu kan ennai paartha idangalai vaithe purindhu konden..koorum.."

(I know..Understood your leelais based on the places where your eyes saw me..say...)

She said  to the parchment giggling.

"Thangalai kaana vendum.."

She gasped and sat straight.

"Kandu, thangal kan enadhu kannai neradiyaaga kaanum neram dhaan..naan kooriya poonjolai, vaanam, roja mottu.. anaithirukum badhil kidaikkum..adhu enna badhil endru neengal naalai thangal thozhigaludan andhapurathirukku sellumbodhu theriyum..adhuvaraiyil..ungalai kaana yengum enadhu kangaludan..vidai petrukozhvadhu..

~~~~~Thangalin Nalam virumbi"

(By seeing.. In the time of your eyes seeing my eyes directly..The flowergarden, the sky, the rose buds that I mentioned.. all will get their answer..You will know what the answer is when you go to the Andhapuram tomorrow with your girls..until then..with my yearning eyes..signing off..

~~~~Your Wellwisher)

She closed the parchment and kept it on the bed and stood up with smile,

"Yaaraaga irukkum..avan kooruvadhai paarthaal..ennai vegu naatkalaaga augileyae irundhu kandadhu polavum irukkiradhu..yaarivan.."

(Who will it be..by seeing the words what he says..It's like he was seeing me around for a long time...who he will be?)

She placed her palm on her cheek and blushed recalling his words.

"Maayakaaran... yevanukkum sikkaadha indha Sayuri aye vekka pada vaithu vittaan..yaaradaa nee?Naalai andhapura neram yeppozhudhu varum..??"

(Magician... this Sayuri, who is not caught by anyone, he has left her in awe..Who are you? When will that andhapura time.. come tomorrow..??)

She ran towards her balcony and looked at the sun's direction which is on the north west.

"Innum sooriyan kooda maraiya villaye..?"

(The sun hasn't even set yet..?)

She pouted but soon smiled and hitted her forehead.

"Poonjolai, Vaanam, Roja, unadhu kangal pola... enadhu manadhaiyum ippadi kulappi..thavikka vittu vittaai..nee adharkku enna badhil koora pogiraai?Mmm..Maayakaaran.."

(Like the flowergarden, the sky, the rosebuds, your eyes...Confused my mind like this..and made it to suffer..what are you going to say to that..??Hmm..Magician)

She chuckled and entered inside her room and stood before her mirror blushing.

"Indha vekkam yedharkku enakku ippozhudhu varugiradhu..ennidam irundhu sel..enakku nee vendaam..enak.."

(Why am I getting this blushing now..get away from me..I don't want you..I..)

She stopped hearing..,

"Ilavarasi.."

(Princess..)

She turned towards her with anger.

"Naan dhaan ennai yaarum kaana vara vendaam endru koorinen allavaa?"

(Didn't I just tell you not to let anyone see me?)

She scowled at the panipen(maid).

"Ennai manithu vidungal Ilavarasi..Raja thangalai viraivil avaradhu araikku alaithu varumpadi koori ennai anuppi vaithaar.."

(Forgive me princess..The king sent me to bring you to his room immediately..)

"Ch..ennai manithu vidu Yamunaa..naan yedho padhatathil unnai kathi vitten..naan varuvadhaaga appa vidam sendru kooru.."

(Ch..forgive me Yamuna..I yelled at you in some nervousness..go and tell father that I am coming..)

"Utharavu Ilavarasi.."

(Your order Princess)

Saying Yamuna left from there.

She turned again towards the mirror glaring herself.

"Ippadithaan aduthavargalidam yerindhu viluvadhaa..enna idhu pudhu palakkam...ellaam avanaal...enna da seidhaai ennai..?"

(Is this how you shout out to others? Is this a new habit?All because of him...what did you do to me..?)

She whined and composed herself quickly by registering herself in her mind to be normal and don't think about that parchment.

She quickly get the parchment from the bed and hided it under the pillow and corrected herself before walking out from her room with the common graceful attitude of the princesses.

After reaching her father's room..,

"Appa.."

(Dad)

"Sayuri vaa..neengal anaivarum sellalaam.."

(Come Sayuri..you all can leave..)

He welcomed his daughter and ordered others to leave.

Sayuri walked towards him and sat beside him on the cot after getting his blessings.

"Sollungal..Imaiyavaramban..naan thangalukku enna udhavi seiya vendum?"

(Tell me..Imaiyavaramban..what can I do for you?)

She asked teasingly at him.

"Nagaichuvai..adhuvum ennidame ?"

(Comedy..that too with me?)

He asked her smiling.

"Yen..naan en thandhaiyidam nagaippu kolludhal koodaadhaa?"

(Why..shouldn't I make fun with my father?)

Imaiyavaramban smiled and caressed her hairs.

"Appadi naan yeppozhudhu koori irukkiren..seri kooru..enna aayitru?"

(When have I been said like that..Tell me..What happened?)

"Ennadhu thandhaiye?"

(What dad?)

"Nee yaarayum un araikul nulaiya vida koodaadhu endru Amaichirukku aanai itru irundha dhaaga enakku thagaval kittiyadhu..adhu unmaiyaa?"

(I was informed that the minister had an order saying that you should not let anyone enter your room..is that true?)

Sayuri's cheeks painted in pink instantly remembering the parchment so she stood up turned away from him smiling before saying..,

"Aam appa.."

(Yes dad)

He saw her frowning with slight smile.

"Yen?"

(Why?)

"Thaniyaaga irukka virumbinen.."

(I felt like..I wanted to be alone..)

"Ohh..aanaal ennai kaana varuvadhaaga dhana koorinaai?"

(Oh..but you said you were coming to see me?)

"Mmm..aanaal..dhideerendru thaniyaaga irukka vendum ena thondriyadhu adhaan.."

(Hmm..but..suddenly felt like..i wanted to be alone...so..)

She dragged caressing her dense hairs with her palms standing infront of the mirror smiling.Imaiyavaramban narrowed his eyebrows seeing her difference.

"Ohh..unavu utkondaaiyaa?Unakkaaga dhaan virundhirku yerpaadu seidhu kondu irukkiraal un amma.."

(Ohh..have you eaten? Your mother is preparing a feast just for you..)

"Enakku vendaam thandhaiye.."

(I don't want it dad..)

"Yen Sayuri?"

(Why Sayuri?)

"Enakku manadhu niraindhu iruppadhaal.. pasi thookam ellaam ennidam vara marukiradhu.."

(Because of my mind being full,hunger and sleep are refusing to come near me..)

Imaiyavaramban's eyebrows got jumped up in amusement.

"Yaar Sayuri avan?"

(Who is he,Sayuri?)

Sayuri blushed looking down.

"Enakku theriyavillai appa.."

(I don't know dad)

"Theriya villai aah?"

(You don't know?)

"Aam..aanaal avanai enakku pidithirundhaal ungalidam dhaan mudhalil vandhu kooruven.."

(Yes..but if i like him... i will tell you first..)

"Ini pidikka veru seiya vendumaa?Un kannagalum adhil irukkum vekkamume enakku un badhilai koorigiradhey Sayuri"

(Do you need to do anything else to like him? Your cheeks and the blush in them itself telling me your answer, Sayuri)

"Illai appa..en mogam avvaaru ennai seigiradhu..aanaal naan avanai paartha piragu ungalidam koorugiren...adhu varai..neengalum ennai yedhuvum ketka koodaadhu.."

(No dad..my thoughts makes me like that..but I will tell you after I see him..until then..you also should not ask me anything..)

She said turning towards him with pout.He smiled at her.

"Seri Sayuri..ippozhudhu vaa saapida sellalaam.."

(Okay Sayuri..now we'll go and eat..come..)

"Illai appa enakku vendaam naan en araikku selgiren.."

(No dad.. I don't want... I'm going to my room..)

Saying she opened the door and ran out from there.

Imaiyavaramban shooked his head smiling.

"En siriya kuzhandhaikku yaar kaadhal mogam vara vaithavan?"

(Who made my little child fall in love?)

Here, Sayuri locked her room door from inside and sat on her balcony sofa and looked at the sun which was going to set on the west side which made her smile wide and hit her forehead.

After few minutes of admiring the sunset she took the paper from the table and took the peacock feather before sketching something on it.She smiled seeing her sketch..

Her sketch

A

nd wrote at the end corner as..,

Thanadhu nalam virumbikkaaga kaathirukkum roja idhal!

(A rose petal waiting for its well-wisher!)

S

he palmed her face with it and blushed whining.

Then for her nigt dinner Yamuna came with the food and turned to leave from there but stopped hearing...,

"Yamuna.."

"Koorungal ilavarasi.."

(Tell me..princess..)

"Podhum unadhu mariyadhai ellaam.."

(Enough of your respect..)

Yamuna's face bought an smile.

"Ilavarasi.."

"Yamunaaa.."

She whined at her.Yamuna chuckled and sat beside her on the floor.

"Eyy Mel vandhu amaru vaa.."

(Hey come and sit on the bed..)

"Irukattum Sayuri.."

(It's okay Sayuri..)

"En pechai ketka maataai allavaa..appo seri..naanum keelaye amarugiren.."

(You don't obey my words right?..then okay I too sit beside you on the floor..)

"Aiyo..seri amaru melaye naan varugiren.."

(Ohh..okay sit..I will come..)

Saying she sat beside her on the cot.

"Naalai umakku velai edhaavadhu irukkiradhaa?"

(Do you have any work tomorrow?)

Sayuri asked Yamuna.

"Mmm irukkiradhu..yen ketkiraai?"

(Hmmm there..why do you ask?)

"Adhu... naalai maalai andhapura neram ninaivil ulladhaa?"

(That... Do you remember tha andhapura time tomorrow evening?)

"Nandraaga ulladhu..adharkaana velaigal dhaan kalaiyil naan seiya vendum.."

(Yes well.. I have to do the work for that in the morning..)

"Ohh..Naalai adhigam ellaam yaarayum alaika vendaam..nee, naan, namadhu thozhigal mattum podhum.."

(Ohh..don't invite anyone too much tomorrow..just you, me and our friends are enough..)

Yamuna frowned at her.

"Yen apadi koorugiraai?"

(Why are you saying like that?)

"Adhu...naan sonnadhai sei avalavu dhaan.."

(That..do what I say..that's it..)

She said like blabbering and turned her face away from her.

"Seri seri..nee saapittu urangu... naan selgren.."

(Okay okay..you eat and then sleep..I take my leave..)

Sayuri hummed a little while Yamuna frowed at her behaviour and left her alone.

Sayuri had her food and placed the utensils on the table.The maids came and get that and left they too her alone.Sayuri stood up and locked her room door before going to her balcony.

She closed her eyes enjoying her breeze but got jerked feeling the hot breath on her nape followed by..,

"Vaanam paavam illayaa ilavarasi?"

(Isn't the sky sinful, princess? )

She turned back in swift but sighed seeing none before her.

"Idharku mel ingu irundhaal..ennai paithiyam pola pulamba vittu viduvaan.."

(If I stays here more than this..he will leave me lament like crazy..)

She shooked her head and rushed towards her bed and blowed off the candles before covering herself under the duvet and closed her eyes.

But got jerked heairng..,

"Ilavarasi.."

"Ahh... yaarivan..naan dhaan ilavarasi..ennai dhaan andha olai vandhu adaindhu vitadhe..piragu yen ennai uruga vida marukiraan?"

(Ahhh..who is he..?I am the princess..That lead has reached me..Then why does he refuse to leave me to sleep?)

"Illai Sayuri.. nee idherkellaam madiya koodaadhu.. urangu..nee maelnaatu Ilavarasi.."

(No Sayuri.. you shouldn't die for all this.. sleep.. you are a princess of the Maelnaadu..)

She shooked her head and slept staring the sky from her balcony.

Next day early morning at garden..,

"Sayuri.."

Sayuri turned and smiled at her mother Mayol.

"Amma.."

"Kalaiyil ivalavu seekiram elundhu enna seigiraai?"

(What are you doing up so early in the morning?)

"Summa dhaan amma..thookam vara villai.."

(It's just mom..I can't sleep..)

"Ohh..seri enna seigiraai?"

(Ohh..what are you doing?)

"Puraakal idam pesi kondirukiren amma.."

(I am talking with pigeons mom..)

"Mmm.."

She sat beside and looked at her daughter who was unsually silent which is obvious in her angry time but the instant smile on her face made her to frown.

"Sayuri.."

"Mmm"

"Ennidam edhaavadhu maraikiraayaa?"

(Are you hiding something from me?)

Sayuri gulped and smiled nervously at her.

"Appadi ellaam edhuvum illai amma..na..naan andhapura velai ellaam epdi selgiradhu endru paarthu vittu varugiren.."

(Nothing like that mom..I..I..I am leaving to see how the work is going in the andhapuram)

Mayol hummed while Sayuri smiled and escaped from there.Mayol stared her disappearing figure with worried face.

"Yennidam enna maraikiraai Sayuri?"

(What are you hiding from me,Sayuri?)

Here Sayuri moved towards the andhapuram(the women's quarters) but stopped heaing..,

"Ingu yedho yeli povadhu pola therigradhu?"

(Looks like some rat is going on here?)

She turned back glaringly.

"Annaaaa.."

(Brotherrr..)

Pugazhendhi chuckled.

"Yengu ivalavu vegamaaga selgiraai?"

(Where are you going so fast?)

"Andhapurathirku selgiren..nee ingu enna seigiraai?"

(Going to andhapuram..what are you doing here?)

"Naanum Harshadhanum ippozhudhu dhaan payirchi mudindhu varugirom.."

(Me and Harshadan are just finished the training..)

"Ohh.."

She looked at Harshadhan who smiled at her.She smiled back at him slightly and averted her gaze again towards her brother.

"Indru enna payirchi?"

(What is the training today?)

"Vill ambu dhaan..nee indru yen varavillai?Aamaam nee ivalavu seekiram yela maataaye..indru yen elundhaai adhisayamaaga?"

(Arrow and bow..why didn't you come today?Wait,You don't get up so early right?..Why did you I'm so surprised..)

"Urakkam vara villai anna..seri naan selgiren.."

(I can't sleep bro..okay..I'm taking my leave..)

She turned back to leave but stopped hearing..,

"Sayuri nill.."

(Sayuri wait..)

Sayuri closed her eyes sighing and turned towards him smiling.

"Adhenna olai?"

(What is that leaf?)

Sayuri shut her eyes tightly getting caught.

"Sayuri"

"Adhu onnu illai anaa..adhu..verum olai dhaan..adhil yedhuvum eludha villai"

(It's nothing but..it's..just a leaf..nothing is written on it)

"Ohh..seri nee sel.."

(Ohh..okay..you go..)

She nodded her head and ran towards her room forgetting about the andhapuram visit.

Pugazhendhi and Harshadhan smiled seeing her before leaving from there.

"Shoo... anna vidam maati iruppen..thappithu vittaai Sayuri...illai endraal Avan amma vidam solli naan adi vaangi iruppen"

(Shoo...I will be stuck with Anna..you escaped Sayuri...if not he will tell this to mother and I will be beaten.)

She sighed in relief and moved towards Yamuna 's room but gasped and hitted on something hard before falling backwards but before she could kiss the floor the hard arm caught her waist and pulled her up.She clutched something in her fist and closed her eyes tight.

But opened her eyes wide hearing..,

"Ilavarasi"

Her black orbs met the brown one which made her to gulp and shiver feeling his touch on her bare waist but soon composed herself after remembering herself as.. "she is the attitudinal princess and stood straight seeing him.

"Yaar nee?"

(Who are you?)

"Naan.."

(I..)

"Ilavarasi Sayuri"

(Princess Sayuri..)

"Yamuna yaarivan?"

(Who is this, Yamuna?)

"Ilavarasi, Ivar dhaan nam andhapurathai alagarikka vandhirukkiraar..thangal thandhai kooriya nabar Ivar dhaan..neengal enna vendum aanaalum ivaridam koori seiya sollalaam ena arasar koorinaar.."

(Princess, this is the person who has come to decorate our Andhapuram..This is the person that your father said..The king said that you can ask him to do whatever you want.)

"Ohh..umadhu peyar enna?"

(Ohh..what is your name?)

"Naan.."

(I..)

"Sayuri"

She turned back to see her father.

"Appa"

"Ingu enna nadakiradhu..Ohh..Amudhan..nee yeppozhudhu vandhaai..?"

(What is happening here..Ohh..Amuthan..when did you come..?)

"Idho.. araimani mani neram aanadhu arasare.."

(It took half an hour king..)

"Ohh..Sayuri..ivan Amudhan..miga periya thiramai saali..unakku un andha purathai evaaru alangarikka vendum ena ninaikiraayo avvaaru seidhu kol ivanai vaithu.."

(Ohh..Sayuri,This is Amudhan..Great talented fellow..You can decorate your andhapuram as like you wish with him..)

"Appadi enna thiramai saali ivan?"

Amudhan smiled seeing her.

"Nee unakku enna vendumo kel avanidam...avan seidhu kuduppaan..appozhudhu puriyum naan solvadhu.."

(Ask him whatever you want...he will do it...then you will understand what I am saying..)

"Ohoo..andha malai ai eduthu vara sonnaal eduthu varuvaanaa?"

(If I ask him to bring that mountain, will he bring it?)

She said smirking by pointing the mountain through the window.

"Adhai dhaan Hanuman seidhu vittaare ilavarasi..veru edhaadhu kelungal..adhanai seiya mudindhaal nichiyam thangalukku kaaga en kangalum kaigalum sieyum.."

(Hanuman has already done that, princess..ask for something else..if I can, surely my eyes and hands will do for you)

Amudhan said smiling.

"Ohh..appo andha malaiyai nee ingu kondu vara maataai appadithane?"

(Ohh..Then you won't bring that mountain here?)

"Andha malai eh dhaan vendum endraal thandhu vittaal mudindhadhu..engal ilavarasi kaaga idhai kooda seiya maatenaa?"

(If that same mountain is what you want, I can give it to you..)

Sayuri frowned at him.He smirked and turned towards Yamuna.

"Thaangal enakku andhapura valiyai kaanbipathaaga koorineergaley?"

("You said you'd show me the way to andhapuram?")

"Naannn..Ilavarasi neengal kattal yittaal.."

(I..Princess if you give me order....")

She gragged while Sayuri looked at him and nodded his head.

"Sel.."(Go)

Yamuna nodded her head and moved towards the andhapuram while Amudhan followed her behind smiling.

"Yaaru pa ivan..garvam kondavanaaga iruppaan polum..namakku idhellaam thevayaa?"

(Who is he dad?..he seems to be arrogant..do we need all this?)

"Unakkaaga naan seigiren..matrum avan garvam kondavan ellaam illai magale...avanai nee purindhu kolvai konjo idam kodu."

(I do for you..and he's not arrogant my child...you'll understand him.. just give him some space)

"Ennamo solgireergal aanaal enakku avanidam oru nalla enname vara villai..naan en araiku sendru thayaar aagugiren.."

(You say something..but I don't get any good image from him..I go to my room to get ready..)

She turned back and left from there.

"Kobam mattum arisiyai pola varum..matravai ellaam..kulandhai thanam dhaan.."

(Anger only comes like a queen..everything else..is childish..)

He shooked his head and left from there.

Here inside Sayuri's room..,

She untied her every heavy ornaments and shrugged her dense hairs standing infront of the mirror and moved towards her washroom.

After taking the bath in her swimming pool which was heavily herbal.She changed into her yellow kancheevaram's pink plus golden queen saree and adorned herself with the ornaments and her hair was kept free as like her wish.

"Epdi irukkiren Vaishnavi?"

(How am I looking Vaishnavi?)

"Thangalukku enna ilavarasi..ippozhudhu kooda veliyae sendreergal endraal..aayiram arasaragal vandhu vasisaiyl nirpaargal.."

(What are you princess..if you go out even now..thousand royals will come and stand in line..)

Sayuri just smiled wearing her earing.

"Aanaal enakku ippozhudhu adharkellaam neram illai..naan andha purathiruku sella vendum.."

(But I don't have time for all that now..I have to go to andhapuram..)

She placed her hairs to her left and looked at herself for again in the mirror and walked towards the andhapuram by thinking about Him!Her nalam virumbi!

"Ilavarasi vaazhga..ilavarasi vaazhga.."

"Enna idhelaam..namakkul yedharku idhu..amaidhiyaaga irungal."

(What is all this..why is this in us..just keep calm.)

"Enna irundhaalum neengal ilaravarasi dhaane?"

(Are you a princess after all?)

"Adhellaa veliyil mattum dhaan..ing.."

(All that is only outside..Here..)

She stopped squinting her eyes.

"Nee ingu enna seigiraai?"

(What are you doing here?)

Amudhan smiled at her.

"Neengal dhaana ilavarasi malaiyai kondu vara sonneergal..?"

(You only asked me to bring that mountain princess?)

"Ohh..kondu vandhu viitaayaa?"

(Ohh you bought that?)

"Mmm idho.."

(Mm here it is...)

He moved away and opened the screen revealing the hill painting on the andhapuram wall and she gasped seeing it.

His wall painting

She moved towards it slowly and lifted her hand and touched it.Amudhan smiled and moved behind her slowly and bend down towards her height whispering..,

"Ilavarasi..eppadi irukkiradhu?"

(How is it,Princess?)

"Arumaiyaaga ulladhu.."(whisper)

(It's so beautiful)

"Thangalai vidavaa?"

(Than you?)

She tilted her head up towards him confused.

"Haan?"

"Illai..anaivarum koorinaargal neengal oru perazhagu endru..adhaan..thangalai vidavaa endru kettaen.."

(Nothing..just..everyone said that you are a disasteric beautiful..so..i just asked it's that beautigul than you?)

She smirked and turned stright towards the aointing and moved away from there.

"Mmm..vithai kaaran dhaan..veru enna theriyum unakku?"

(Hmmm..trickster..what else do you know?)

"Neengal koori dhaan idhanai naan seidhen...adhu pola aduthadhaiyum neengale koori vidungal.."

(I did this because you told me...just tell me the next thing..)

"Ohh.."

She looked at him from top to toe who has been covered with the casual cotton kurta of side layer and with veshti teid at the criss cross manner and his shoulder weighted like bow and arrow quiver she wondered what it could but herself understood that it could be for storing his art works tools.His brown orbs,lined eyebrows and smoothy dense hairs peeking out from his black mask made her inner woman to feel an electric spark but got jerked hearing..,

"Ilavarasi.."

"Mmm..adhu..sirpam seiya theriyumaa?"

(Hmmm..that..do you know how to sculpt?)

She asked averting her gaze from him.He smiled seeing her.

"Enna sirpam seiya vendum?"

(What I need to sculpt?)

"Appo theriyum?"

(Then you know?)

She asked raising her eyebrows.

"Thangalukkaaga katru kolla vendiyadhu dhaan.."

(I can learn for you..)

He flirted but she ignored it.

"Ohh..enna sirpam seivaai?"

(Ohh..what you can sculpt?)

"Mayil sirpam seiyavaa?"

(Peacock sculpture?)

She sighed turning her face away.

"Mhum..enakku mayil endraal suthamum pidikaadhu.."

(Mhumm..I don't like peacock..)

"Ohh..yen?"

(Ohh..Why?)

"Ahn?"

"Illai Ilavarasi..podhuvaaga mayilgal endraal pengalukku migavum pidikkim ena kelvi pattirukiren..adhaan thangalukku yen pudikaadhu endru vinavinen.."

(No princess..I have heard that women like peacocks in general..so..I asked why you don't like it..)

"En pona jenma veruppo ennavo..yaarukku theriyum..aanaal enakku mayilgal pidikaadhu.."

(My past birth hatred or what..who knows..but I don't like peacocks..)

"Ohh irukkalaam..appozhudhu puraakal pidikumaa?"

(Ohh may be..Do you like pigeons then?)

"Puraakal ingeyae narayaa irukindranave?Vendaam.."

(Are the pigeons already here? No..)

"Appo Roja idhal?"

(Then..the rose petals?)

He asked in his dense voice staring her lips.She gulped and turned showing her back.

"Aadal arasi rambai.."

(Apsaras Rambai?)

"Mmm..vadivamaithu vidugiren.."

(Mmm..okay..)

He said immediately making her smile and turn towards him.

"Naan enna kettaalum seiveergalaa?"

(Will you do whatever I ask?)

She asked smiling till her eyes meet that happiness of her heart.

"Illai.."(No)

Her smile faded.

"Ondrai thavira.."

(Except one..)

She narrowed her eyebrows.

"Ungalai marakka sonnaal mattum, maaten.."

(If you ask me to forget you, I won't..)

She shooked her head and sat on the swing without answering him.

"Thaangal yen ungal mugathai thirai pottu maraithu vaithirukkireergal?"

(Why do you hide your face with a mask?)

"Adhu..engal paarambariyam.."

(That..It's our tradition..)

He gulped dragging and said the next sentence immediately in the thought of not to get caught by her.

"Paaramabariyamaa..innaattil..enakku theriyaadha paarambariyamaa?"

(Tradition..in this country..A tradition that I don't know?)

She asked lifting her eyebrows.

"Adhu..adhu..naan..adhuvandhu ilavarasi.."

(That..that..I..That is..princess)

"Nee kilambalaam..naalai vandhu sei..indru engal neram.."

(You can go..come and do it tomorrow..now it's our time)

"Utharavu ilavarasi..naan sendru varugiren"

(Your order princess..I take my leave..)

She nodded her head but stopped him..,

"Oru nimidam.."

(One minute..)

"Sollungal ilavarasi.."

(Tell me princess..)

He asked turning towards her.

"Unakku anbalippu yedhuvum vendaamaa?"

(Don't you want a present?)

"Vendaam ilavarasi..ungalai paarthu pesiyadhey enakku anbalippu kedaithadhu pola unargiren..naan sellavaa?"

(No princess..I feel like I got a gift just by looking at you and talking to you..Shall I take my leave?)

She hummed smiling and he smiled back and went from there.

She exhaled a huge breath and smiled seeing his disappeared way.

"Thangalai marakka sonnaal mattum,maaten.."

(If you ask me to forget you, I won't..)

His words rang in her ears.

"Yaaraaga irukkum..mch..naan ivanai kandadhil andha olai chuvadi ai anuppi vaithavanai patri marandhu vittene.."

(Who could it be..mch..By seeing him I forgot about the person who sent that leaf trace..)

She stood up.Yamuna rushed towards her.

"Ilavarasi neengal koorinaal thangalukku palagaaram eduthu varuven.."

(Princess, if you say so, I will bring you food.)

"Mch..enakku edhuvum vendaam..ippozhudhey anaivarum ingerndhu sellungal.."

(Mch..I don't want anything..Now all of you go from here..)

All looked at her confused and started to speakk among themselves. but got jerked and ran away from there hearing..,

"Naan kooriyadhu..yaar kaadhirkum viluga villayaa?"

(Didn't anyone heard what I said?)

They got jerked and ran away from there.She sighed and moved towards the balcony and placed her palms on the railing.

"Yen ennai kaana varavillai neengal?Appo adhellaam verum poi aah?Adhanai yeludhiyadhu yevano oru moodanaa?Ellaame thavaraa?Yaar neengal..ennai yen ipdi kaaka vaikirieergal?"

(Why didn't you come to see me? Then it was all just a lie, huh? Someone who wrote it was a fool?Is everything wrong? Who are you? Why do you treat me like this?)

She stared the sky with worried face.

"Indha vaanam ungalai ennidam vandhu serthu..adhan badhilai peraadhaa?naan thanga.."

(By biringing you to me..doesn't the sky get its answer?)

She stopped and shut her eyes tight in fear when the lights get dimmed and moon light spreaded all over the place with some hot breath on her ears.

"Sayuri!!"

Her breath became uneven.

"Naan vandhum nee dhaan ennai kaana marupadhu pola thondrugiradhu?"

(You seem to refuse to see me even when I come?)

"Ya..yaa..yaar neengal?"

(Wh..who..who are you?)

The voice holded her cheek from behind and turned her face towards him.

"Unadhu kangalai thirakka maataayaa Sayuri?"

(Won't you open your eyes Sayuri?)

She gulped hearing his base tone and..,

"Neengal yaarendru koorungal..enakku indha vilayaatellaam vendaam..naan enadhu kangalai thirandhaal neengal maraindhu viduveergal.."

(Tell me who you are..I don't want all these games..If I open my eyes.. you will get disappear..)

She said with the fear of losing him even though she don't know about who he is.

"Naan En Sayuri kaaga vandhirukiren..eppadi maraindhu poven..un kangalai thirandhu ennai kaanaa maataayaa?'vizhi'yarasi?"

(I have come here for my Sayuri..How will I get disappear?...don't you open your and see me?)

She smiled hearing the name from him and opened her eyes slowly and looked into his brown one.On the next second, the sky thundered and the rain started to pour heavily with the lightnings.The first drop of rain plopped on the rose bud and it spreads as a full flower and shurgged her petals happily.The thendral kaatru with rain flavour circulated in every nook and corners of the poonjolai making it to dance to it's Rhythm.

Sayuri smiled and her gaze fell on his face recognizing him.

"Ashyudhin..?"

"Eppadi irukkiraai Sayuri?"

(How are you Sayuri?)

"Neengal dhaanaa?"

(It's you?)

"Naane dhaan adhil enna unakku sandhegam?"

(I'm the one.. What do you doubt about that?)

"Ashyudhin neengal dhaan andha.."

(Ashyudhin you are the one..who..)

"Sayuri..pesiyadhu podhum.."

(Sayuri..enough of speaking..)

She gasped when he pulled her towards him holding her bare waists under her saree.

"Unnai kaana vandha enakku parisugal edhuvum illayaa?"

(Don't I have any gifts from you?)

"Ashyudhin.."

"Mmm.."

He hummed staing her eyes and leaned towards her.She closed her eyes and clutched his salwar.That's when her ears whispered..,

"Thangalai marakka sonnaal mattum,maaten.."

(If you say me to forget you..I won't)

She pushed Ashyudhin aside and turned straight seeing the rain with teary eyes and with the confused mind.

"Sayuri.?"

"Neengal eppozhudhu ingu vandheergal?"

(When did you came here?)

"Maalaiyileyae vandhu vitten..nee varuvaai ena kaathirundhen..aanaal andhapurathil irundhu pengal anaivarum veliye odi vandhadhai kandu naan ulle vandhu vitten.."

(I came in the evening..I was waiting for you to come back..but I came inside after seeing all the girls running out from andhapuram..)

"En thandhaikku theriyumaa?"

(Does my father knows?)

"Avar dhaan ennai vara sonnaar.."

(He only asked me to come..)

"Ohh..Aashiva naatin Ilavarasar ingu yedharku dhideerendru vandheergal?"

(Ohh..why did the prince of Aashiva country came here suddenly?)

"Namadhu andai naadu yedho namakku por seidhi viduthulladhaam..adhaan mama vidam pesa vandhen.."

(Our neighboring country has given us a message of war..that's why I came to talk to uncle..)

She became silent all of a sudden after her series of questions making him to sigh.

"Sayuri?"

"Mmm..na..naan thoonga selgiren.."

(Mmm..I..I..I'm going to sleep..)

"Sayuri nil.."

(Sayuri, wait..)

She stopped shutting her eyes.Ashyudhin moved before her and cupped her cheeks with his big palms and leaned to her height kissing her foreheaad.She closed her eyes tight and clutched her skirt as her tears drenched her cheeks.He wiped it without her knowledge with his thumbs as she was already in the war between her heart and mind and he moved back from her.

"Naan innoru naal unnai kaana varugiren..nee yedho vaeru yosanaiyil iruppadhu pola therigiradhu.."

(I will come to see you another day..you seem to be thinking about something..)

She stared at him gulping.

"Naan sendru varugiren..nee bathiramaaga iru..udambai paarthu kol.."

(I am going..be safe..take care..)

She hummed and he left from there.As soon as he left she pushed down the chairs and sofas on the balcony crying vigorously and ran out from there towards her room.

Ashyudhin who has hided behind the curtains smiled seeing something on his hands.

Here..,

Sayuri pushed down everything on her room and removed every ornaments from her and sat on the floor leaning back on the cot.

"Enna nadakiradhu ingae?Ashyudhin dhaan andha olaiayai eludhinaanaa?illai andha Amudhan...avan yen en kannirku mun vandhaan?Ivargalil yaar nijam..enakku yen ippadi oru soolnilai?"

(What is happening here? Ashyudhin is the one who wrote that letter? Then, that Amudhan...why did he come before my eyes?Who among these people is real..Why am I in such a situation?)

She hugged her knees close to her chest and placed her cheek on it staring the floor with puffy eyes.

"Ashyudhin en kadhalanum alla..aanaal avanukku enmeedhu viruppam ulladhu ena koori irukkiraan..naanum adhai peridhaaga ninaikka villai..aanaal indru vandha Amudhan yen enakku Ashyudhin ennidam nerungi varumbozhudhu kanmun varugiraan?"

(Ashyudin is not my lover either..but he has said that he has a crush on me..I don't think too much about it either..But why does Amuthan, who came today, appear in front of me when Ashyudin approaches me closer?)

She leaned back placing her back head on the cot and stared the ceiling and closed her eyes.

"Krishna..enakku yen indha sodhanai?Naan undu en velai undu endru dhaane irundhen..ini en veeram anaithum poi vidum..ennai ivargal iruvarum kolaiyaaga maatra pogiraargal..enakku yen andha olai kidaithadhu..enakku adhu kidaikaama irundhirundhaal indha prechanaiaye nadandhirukkaadhe..enakku ennudaiya palaya Sayuri in veeram vendum..enakku indha kolai Sayuri pudikkavillai..indha aludhu kondey irukkum mugam enakku vendaamm..enakkku vendaammmm.."

(Krishna..why this test for me?I has been as myself and my work..now all my bravery will be lost..These two are going to kill me..why did I get that leaf..If I didn't get it I wouldn't have gone through this trouble..I want my old brave Sayuri..I don't like this Sayuri..I don't want this crying face..I don't want it..)

She took the pillow and throwed it on the mirror before her.

~~~

And at next morning..,

Yamuna entered inside Sayuri's room and gasped seeing her sleeping by lying on the floor.She rushed towards her and started shooking her shoulders.

"Ilavarasi..ilavarasi..ennavaayitru ilavarasi..ilavarasi..kannai thiravumbgal..ilavarasi.."

(Princess..princess..what happened to you..open your eyes..)

"Aiyo.. enna aanadhu endru theriyavillaye..Bhanu..Sonakshi..yaaraavadhu vaarungalen..ilavarasi.."

(Oh..I don't know what happened..Bhanu..Sonakshi..Somebody come..Princess..)

She stood up and ran towards Imaiyavaramban's room.

"Arase arase arase.."

(King..king..king..)

"Yamuna ingu enna seigiraai..?"

(Yamuna..what are you doing here?)

"Arase..arase..angu..ilavarasi.."

(King..king..there..princess..)

She said inbetween her heavy breaths.Imaiyavaramban got panicked hearing her.

"Sayuri ku enna aayitru?"

(What happened to Sayuri?)

"Neengal vandhu paarungal arase."

(You come and see king..)

He stood up and all rushed inside Sayuri's room but stopped on seeing Ashyudhin who is tugging her under the duvet as she was staring him without blinking.

"Sayuri..kannai moodu.."

(Sayuri,close your eyes..)

She nodded no still staring him as her eyes shedded tears.He cupped her cheeks and wiped her tears.

"Yedhuvum yosikkaamal thoongu Sayuri.."

(Don't think much..Sleep Sayuri..)

She closed her eyes at his caress on her hairs and slept clutching his small finger.

Ashyudhin stood up after removing her hold on his finger and moved towards the king.

"Aval urangattum mama..naam selvom vaarungal.."

(Let her sleep uncle..we'll go come on..)

And all left from there.

And at afternoon Mayol made her daughter to have her food forcefully inbetween her whinings then Sayuri moved towards the garden and sat on the bench.But with the straight face she asked..,

"Ingu enna seigireergal?"

(What are you doing here?)

She asked still feeding the dove.Amudhan moved towards her front from the bush.

"Epdi therindhadhu?"

(How do you know?)

She chuckled and lifted her face towards him.

"Indrum mugathirai aah?"

(Mask for today also?)

Amudhan shrugged his shoulders making her to shook her head.

"Naan kettadharkku badhil innum varavillaye?"

(I still haven't received your answer?)

"Adhu.. arasar ingu poonjolaiyil edhaavadhu thangalukku alangarikka vendumaanaal seidhu kodukkum padi enakku aanai ittu irukkiraar.."

(It is.. the king has ordered me to do something for you here in the garden...)

"Ohh.."

And they got silent.He started to admire her without blinking with constant smile on his face.But averted his gaze when she stood up and moved past him.

He looked at her through the corner of his eyes but gasped when she placed the knife on his neck from behind.

"Il..Il..ava..rasi.."

(Pri..prin..prince..cess..)

"Ennai paarthadhu podhum.. sendru andhapurathil naan ketta Rambai uruvathai seiyungal.."

(Enough of seeing me.. go and make the sculpt of Rambai that I asked for in andhapuram..)

She took off the knife and tucked it inside the knife pocket and moved from there.

"Aadal arasi rambai eh dhaan vendumaa?"

(Do you want Rambai alone?)

She stopped and turned towards him rasing her eyebrows.He too looked at her smiling.

"Indha ilavarasi in sirpam vendaamaa?"

(You doesn't want this princess?)

He asked by hinting her.

"Oh..ennaiyum nee sirppam aakuvaayaa?"

(Oh..will you make a sculpture of me too?)

"Rambai ai seiya mudindha enakku..indha dhevadhaiyai seiya mudiyaadhaa?"

(The one who can make Rambai..can't I do this angel?)

Her lips curved up after an hours of her inner battle.

"Ippadi pesi ennai mayakka paarkireergalaa?"

(Are you trying to seduce me by talking like this?)

"Yaaraalum neengal mayanga koodaadhu..thangal azhagaal dhaan matravargal mayanga vendum Ilavarasi.."

(You should not be mesmerized by anyone..others should be mesmerized by your beauty princess..)

"Podhum un pidhatral..sendru un velaiyai paar.."

(Enough of your babbles..go and look at your work..)

Saying she left from there smiling or may be blushing that is upto her!;)

"En velaiyai paarpadharkkaaga dhaan ivalavu seigiren..ilavarasi.."

(I am doing so much just to see my work..Princess..)

He mumbled under his breath smiling and followed her behind rubbing his nape blushing.

He moved inside the andhapuram but sighed not seeing her anywherre.

"Anna?"

(Brother?)

"Yamuna..ilavarasi engaey?"

(Yamuna,Where is princess?)

"Avar arasarai kaana selvadhaaga koorinaar.."

(She went to see the king)

He sighed hard hearing her.

"Yeppodhu sendraal?"

(When she went?)

"Ippodhu dhaan anna..rendu nimida kaalame aagi irukkum.."

(Now only brother..before two minutes..)

"Seri naan un araiku sendru vittu en velaiyai thuvangugiren.."

(Okay.. I will go to your room and start my work..)

Yamuna hummed as he left inside her room.

Here in arasavai(king's council)..,

"Appa.."

"Sayuri vaa.."

"Vanakkam ilavarasi..vanakkam ilavarasi.."

"Vanakkam amaichargale amarungal..appa.."

She got his blessing by touching his feet and sat beside him on another chair and her eyes searched for something she whised.

"Melae sollungal amaichare.."

(Tell me then minister..)

"Aamm arasare..naan kooriyadhu pola..andha andai naatu mannargal anaivarum nammai nokki dhaan aayudham yendha ullaargal..aanaal.."

(Yes king..as I said..all the kings of neighboring countries are armed against us..but..)

"Aanaal enna amaicharey?Koorungal.."

(But what minister?Tell me..)

"Aanaal..avaragalai vida namadhu aniyil miga kuraivaana veerargale ullaargal.."

(But..there are very less soldiers in our country than them..)

Before King could answer him the brave yet a base voice echoed loudly in the court..

"Yudham seiya veerargalin yennikkai thevai illai..avargaladhu balam mattum podhum amaicharey.."

(It's not about the number of soldiers is needed to fight a war..Just their strength is enough minister..)

Sayuri and king smiled seeing him.

"Vaa Ashyudhin.."

(Come Ashyudhin)

He smiled and got his blessing before standing before him.

"En mama vukkaaga naan irukkiren..innaatu makkal anaivarum irukkiraargal..avar petra avaradhu pudhalvan, pudhalvi Pugazhendhi matrum Sayuri irukkiraargal..idhai vida andha andai naatai kaipatra yaar vendum namakku?"

(I am there for my uncle..all the people of this country are there..his son and daughter,Pugazhendhi and Sayuri is there..who else we need to fight againt that neighbouring country..?)

All got silent.He smiled seeing them and looked at the minister who has been speaking before he comes.

"Koorungal amaicharey..thaangal yedho koorikondu irundheergalae?"

(Tell me minister..were you saying something?)

"Naam irukkumbodhu andha andai naatai patri yen kavalai kolla vendum Aashiva naatu ilavarasare?"

(Why should we worry about that neighboring country?Aashiva country prince..)

Ashyudhin smirked at him and looked at Sayuri who immediately averted her gaze down making him to smile a little and turn towards the king who is smiling proudly at him.

"Neengal yedharkum kavalai kolla vendaam mama..indha melnaatai naan yaarukkum vittu kodukka maaten..ennaal mudindha alavu anaithu muyarchiyayum seidhu poraaduven.."

(You don't have to worry about anything uncle..I won't leave this Mael country to anyone..I will fight as hard as I can..)

The king stood up and placed his palm on his shoulder.

"Unnai patri enakku theriyaadhaa?Ashyudhin.."

(Don't I know about you? Ashyudin..)

Ashyudhin smiled and touched his feet again.

"Naan purapadugiren mama.."

(I am leaving uncle..)

King smiled understanding him.

"Paarthu sel.."

(Go safe..)

"Naan sellum vali anaithum en uyirkkaaga dhaan mama..adhanaal nichiyam paadhuggaapaaga dhaan selven.."

(All the pain I am going through is for my life, uncle...So I'll go safe for sure..)

King patted his cheek and left inside with the statement of the minister as..,

"Arasavai kalayattum.."

(Court disperse..)

All dispersed from there.

Sayuri stood up and moved behind Ashyudhin but gasped and closed her eyes tight when he placed his sword's sharp edge on her bare stomach smirking.

"A..Ash..yudhin.."

"Yen ippadi seigiraai?"

(Why are you doing like this?)

"Naa..naa..naan enna seidhen?"

(Wha..wha..what I..I did?)

"Nee dhaan anaithayum seigiraai Sayuri.."

(You are doing everything Sayuri..)

"Ashyudhin enna pidhatrugireergal?"

(What are you mad at Ashyudhin?)

"Aamm..ivalavu azhagaaga en mun vandhu ninnaal naan pidhatraamal enna seiven Sayuri?"

(Yes..What the hell will I do if you come in front of me so beautiful Sayuri?)

She smiled and opened her eyes.He smiled back at her but now he gasped when she pulled the sword from his hold and throwed it behind her smirking.He looked over her head(height difference:)) to see the sword on the chair which was correctly stabbed.He looked back at her with appreciative look.

"Yeppadi en vithai?"

(How's my gimmick?)

"Mm ilavarasi enbadhai nirubithu vitaai.."

(Hmm... you have proved that you are a princess..)

"Mhum..naanellaa naalu yaanai vandhaalum adhaiyum adakki kaamippen.."

(Hmmm..not only this..even if four elephants come I will tame them too..)

She said with her usual attitude making him to chuckle.

"Paaradaa!!"

"Mmm unnaye adakki vitten.. adhellaam enakku kaal dhoosi aagum.."

(Hmmm... I have even suppressed you.. all that is just a dust on my feet..)

She smirked walking past him but gasped when he pulled her back holding her hairs and whispered in her ears as she shutted her eyes breathing hard..,

"Naan katru kodutha vithaiyai ennidame kaanbithu idhil naalu yaanaiyai adakkuvaayaa hmm?"

(By showing me the trick that I taught you..You are going to tame four elephants...huh?)

She smiled but gasped again fisting her skirt when his warm palm got placed on her bare stomach.

"Yaanai ellaam vendaam... padukkaiyil ennai mudhalil adakki kaatu..appozhudhu othu kolgiren..nee anaithu vithayum therindhaval dhaan endru."

(Don't want all those elephants... first tame me on the bed..Then I agree..that you are the one who knows every gimmicks..)

Her face became fully flushed she pushed his hands and ran from there.

He chuckled seeing her and rubbed his nape blushing but when realisation dawned him he widened his eyes and ran behind her after taking his sword and tucking it on its pocket.

~~

"Yamuna?"

"Koorungal ilavarasi.."

(Tell me princess..)

"Avan engae?"

(Where is he?)

"Yaa..yaar ilavarasi?"

(Wh..whom..princess?)

Sayuri saw her frowned.

"Un vaai yen ippozhudhu kularugiradhu?"

(Why is your mouth blabbering now?)

"Appadi ellaam..edhu.."

(That..not like that..I..)

"Ilavarasi.."

Sayuri turned back to see Amudhan coming towards her from the balcony.

"Yengu sendraai?"

(Where have you gone?)

"Satru kaatru vaanga angu paalkani il nindrundhirudhen ilavarasi.."

(Princess, I was standing there on the balcony to get some air.)

"Ohh..ennamo koorinaai..yedho ennai sirpamaaki kaatuguren paarungal endru?Yengu andha sirpam?"

(Ohh..you said something..that you will show me as a sculpture? Where is that sculpture?)

She asked teasingly at him in the thought of he will take a back in this challenge.But..,

"Illai ilavarasi... neengal en kan mun irundhaal dhaan ennaal sirpam seiya mudiyum.."

(No princess, I can only sculpt you.. if you are in front of my eyes..)

"Mhum..anaithum pithalaatam..paarpom.. nee yevvaru seigiraai endru..idho amarndhu vitten..thudangu un vithaiyai.."

(Hmmm..all this is bullshit..will see..how are you doing..here I am sitting..start your gimmicks..)

Saying she sat on the steps and placed her elbow on her knee and palm on her jawline.He smiled and took out his equipments before looking at her.She smiled showing her dimple and he smiled back reciprocating it but she could not able to see it as his face has been covered with the mask.

"Idhayellaam yevvaaru katraai?"

(How you have learnt all this?)

"En siriya paruvathil..en amma katru koduthaargal ilavarasi.."

(In my childhood..my mother taught me princess..)

"Ohh..konjamaavadhu nee seiya pogum sirpam ennai pol irukkumaa?"

(Ohh..Does the sculpture you are going to make look a little like me?)

"Adhanai thaangale satru neram kalithu paarthu.. koorungal.."

(Watch it yourself after some time and tell me..)

"Mmm.."

She hummed smiling.

He looked into her eyes as she looked back and they melted in each others intense gaze but both came back to the reality hearing the dove's sound and he averted hs gaze back to the tools.She too looked down blushing.

"Ilavarasi.."

"Mmm.."

"Naan oru yosanai kooravaa?"

(Shall I say something?)

"Enna yosanai?"

(What?)

"Neenga thavaraaga ninaikka maateergal endraal.."

(If you don't minddd...)

He dragged seeing her smiling as she frowned.

"Endraal?"

"Ungal kangalai neengal katti kolgireergalaa?"

(Will you tie your eyes?)

"Yen?"

(why?)

"Avvirandu kangalai paarpadhaal ennaal adhil irundhu meela iyala villai..pin naalai dhaan ungal sirpam kidaikum.."

(Seeing those two eyes I couldn't get out of it..Then tomorrow only you will get your sculpture..)

He said like whining.She chuckled followed by an smirk.

"Seri kattu..aanaal nee ennai.."

(Okay tie it..but you..)

"En kangal thangalai orupodhum thavaraaga kaanaadhu..ennai neengal nambi katti kollalaam.."

(My eyes will never see you wrong..you can tie it by trusting me..)

"Katti kollalaamaa?"

(Tie?)

She asked raising her eyebrows towards him suspiciously.

"Kannai ilavarasi..kannai katti kollalaam ena koorinen.."

(Eyes princess..I told you that you can tie your eyes.)

She chuckled and took the red cloth from the thaambula plate and tied it around her eyes for herself.

He smiled seeing her even after she tied.

"Yen appadi paarkiraai..?"

(Why are you seeing me like this?)

"Yemaatrugireergalaa ilavarasi?"

(Are you chearing princess?)

Now he asked suspiciously.

"Nee idhai thavira vaeru enna seiya pogiraai?"

(What else you will do?)

She said and chuckled.

"Gandhari pola ulleergal.."

(You like an Gandhari)

"Dhritharashtarin manaiviyai polavaa?"

(Like Dhritharashtar's wife?)

"Illai.."(No)

"Pin yendha Gandhari?"

(Then which Gandhari)

"Panja aandavargalin thaayai pola ulleergal.."

(Like pancha pandavas' mother.. )

"Avalavu mudhiyavalaaga therigiraenaa?"

(Am I looking that old?)

"Illai..varumkaalathil aindhu pudhalvangalukku thaayaaga iruppeergal ena koorugiren.."

(No..I am telling you that you will be a mother of five sons in the near future..)

He said teasingly at her.

"Ohh nee enna kuri solbavanaa..unakku eppadi theriyum?"

(Ohh.. what a fortune teller you are..how do you know?)

"Thangalukku ethanai kuzhandhaigal endru enakku theriyaamal irukkumaa ilavarasi?"

(May I not know how many children you have, princess?)

He asked in his base voice shaping her lips in the sculpture.She bite her lips and looked down blushing by understanding the meaning behind his words.He looked at her teasingly saying..,

"Ilavarasi..konjam enakku othulaithaal... vegamaaga mudippen..illai endraal iravu muluvadhum naam ivvaaru..ondraaga dhaan irukka vendum.."

(If Princess helped me a bit...I will finish fast..otherwise we have to stay like this..together for the whole night..)

"Mmm..en appa koorinaar.."

(Mmm..my dad told me..)

"Enna?"

(what?)

"Nee migavum thiramai vaaindhavan..anaithaiyum imai simuttum poludhil mudithu viduvaai endru.."

(You are so talented..that you can complete everything in the blink of an eye.)

He smiled shaping her nose for the second time.

"Unmai dhaan ilavarasi..aanaal adhu mayil, pura, yaanai pondra vatrirku dhaan..ippadi patta azhagai paarthu rasith.."

(It's true princess..but it's for peacocks, pigeons, elephants etc..by seeing and enjoying such beauty..)

"Aahn?"

"Rasanai udan porumaiyaaga seiya vendum ena koora vandhen.."

(I came to say that you have to be patient with taste..)

She smiled showing her blushy dimple cheek.

"Mmm nandraaga pesugiraai.."

(Mmm..you're speaking well..)

"Mmm solluvaargal.."

(Mmm..they'll say..)

He said with an attitude plus teasingly making her chuckle shooking her head.

"Un veedu engu ulladhu?"

(Where is your home?)

"Adhu..ingu dhaan.."

(That..it's here..)

"Ingu dhaanaa?"

(Here?)

"Aam ilavarasi thaangal dhaan andru koorineergale..adaikalam alikkum aranmanai endru.."

(Yes princess.. you only said that.. it was the palace of refuge..)

He said by imitating brave tone as she sighed.

"Pidhatra aarambithu vittaayaa?"

(Started again?)

He chuckled.

"Padhiyoru aaru irukkiradhu allavaa..adhan arugil dhaan en veedu ulladhu.."

(There is a padhiyoru river isn't it? My house is near it..)

"Ohh..un veetil ethanai paer?"

(Ohh..how many of them in your house?)

"Naan,enadhu annan matrum amma mattum dhaan.."

(Me,my brother and my mother alone..)

"Hmm.."

"Appa oru vibathil thavari vittaar.."

(My father passed away in an accident )

"Hmm.."

She hummed again as she thought not to disturb his mind.

"Mani aaraagi vittadhu yeppozhdu mudippaai?"

(It's 6 in the evening..when will you complete?)

"Idho mudindhadhu..kaal ku vandhu vitten.."

(It's over..I've reached leg..")

"Azhagaaga illaamal irukkattum..umakku ulladhu.."

(Let it not be beautiful..you will have..)

"Yedhuvaanaalum satham podaamal thaarungal vaangi kolgiren..yen endraal veliyil iruppavargal thavaraaga ninaithu vodi vida koodaadhu allavaa.."

(Whatever it is give me without making noise..I'll get that..Why then.. shouldn't the people who are outside think wrong and run away..?)\

She blushed with a glare.

"Nee indru konjam migudhiyaaga pesuvadhu pol illai?"

(Aren't you talking a little too much today?)

"Naanum ninaithen ilavarasi..kuraithu kolgiren..ennnai dhandithu vidaadheergal.."

(I also thought princess..I will reduce..don't punish me..)

He said with the fake fear.

"Mmm amaidhiyai velaiyai mattum paar.."

(Hmm..just do the work..)

Amudhan annoyed his face and concentrated on his work.

After one hour he completed everything and moved towards her without words with his left leg kneeled and right was placed infront.He balanced his cheek on his palm by placing his elbow on his knee almost like matching her pose.

After few minutes of admiring her he got startled hearing..,

"Innum yethanai neram ippadi ennaiyave paarthu kondu irukka pogiraai?"

(How long are you going to look at me like this?)

"Ilavarasi?"

"Kattai avilkavaa mudithu vittaayaa?"

(Shall I untie my eyes?Have you finished?)

"Vendaam naan thangalai alaithu selgiren..ungal kangalai thirandha udan adhil neengal dhaan theriya vendum.."

(No I will take you.. Open your eyes and you will see youself..)

"Neengal?Andha alavirku thulliyamaiyaaga seidhullaayaa?"

(Yourself?Did you do it that accurately?)

"Adhanai neengal dhaan koora vendum..ippozhudhu koorungal..naan thangalai alaithu sellavaaa?"

(You have to say that..say it now..can I take you?)

She thought for sometime and lifted her hand towards him.He smiled and holded her palm as she stood up and he guided her walking towards the sculpture of her.

"Paarthu ilavarasi.."

(Careful Princess..)

"Naan evvaaru paarpadhu...nee dhaan paarthu kooptu poga vendum.."

(How can I see?You only have to guide me..)

He smiled and made her stand infront of the sclupture and he stood behind her bending to her height and removed her blind cloth.

She blinked eyes for few seconds and gasped seeeing herself in the sculpture form infront of her.

She looked at the every nooks and corners and smiled seeing the dimple and scar too on her face and chuckled seeing the details on the sculpture and got mesmerized in his art.

He smiled and whispered in her ears..,

"Pidithirukiradhaa ilavarasi?"

(Did you like it princess?)

"Mmm..azh..azhagaaga ulladhu..ennai naan kannaadiyil kaanbadhu polave irukkiradhu..andha kanna kuli..kan pakkathil ulla thazhumbu..eppadi..idhu..unakku idhellaam eppadi theriyum?"

(Hmmm..beau..beautiful..just like I see myself in the mirror..that dimple cheek..the scar on the side of the eye..How..this..how do you know all this?)

She said in her dreamy whispering voice as he smiled seeing her.

"Poonjolai kooriyadhu.."

(Flower Garden said it to me..)

She gasped with widened eyes.He smiled seeing her and continued in his base voice.

"Roja mottukkal matrum..vaanamaum kooriyadhu.."

(Rosebuds and..sky also said..)

Her eyes welled up with tears.

"Aanaal avai indrum thangalin badhilukkaaga dhaan kaathirukiradhu.."

(But they are still waiting for your reply.)

She gulped.

"Thirumbi en kangalail paarthu adharku vidai tharuveergalaa ilavarasi?"

(Will you look back and answer it through my eyes, princess?)

She chukled as her tears rolled down on her cheeks.She tilted her head up and opened her eyes looking into0 his eeys.

"Needhaanaa?"

(Is that you?)

"Aam ilavarasi.."

(Yes princess..)

"Andha olai?"

(That leaf parchment?)

"Naan dhaan anupinen.."

(I am the one who sent it..)

"yen?"

(Why?)

"Yen endraal..thaangal ennai kangalaal katti pottadhu podhum enbadharkkaaga.."

(Why..because you..enough of you have tied me up with your eyes.)

"Nee yaar?Umadhu peyar Amudhan dhaanaa?"

(Who are you?Is your name Amudhan only?)

He smiled nodding no by saying..,

"Illai.."

(No)

"Pin yaar nee?"

(Then who are you?)

"Ilavarasi Sayuri in kalabha kadhalan.."

(Princess Sayuri's kalabha kadhalan)

"Vilayaadaadhey nee yaarendru koor..illai endraal un muga thiraiyai.."

(Don't play, tell me who you are..if not,I'll remove your...)

She lifted her hand to remove his mask but he caught her wrist stopping her.

"Naan solgiren... adharku mun... ondru vinava vendum.."

(Let me tell you... before that... I have to ask you one thing..)

"Enna?"

(What?)

She asked squinting her eyes.

"En kannai kattiyadhu pol..ennai katti kolvaayaa Sol... piragu naan yaarendru koorugiren.."

(Like you blindfolded me..Tell me if you will blindfold me with you...Then I will tell you who I am..)

She smiled and looked down wriggling from his hold on her wrist and walked backwards towards the entrance.

"Mun paarthu sellungal ilavaarsi.."

(Look ahead and walk princess..)

She nodded no smirking.

"Ennavaayitru thangalukku..mun.."

(What happened to you..look..)

"Samadham.."

(Consent..)

"Haan?"

His panicked face broke out into glowing..smiling face.

"Aanaal nee unnai patri yedhuvum koora vendaam...nee yaaraaga irundhaalum..ennai mudhalil nee dhaan paartha aanmaganaaga irukka ennugiren..adhanaal enakku unnai.."

(Don't say anything about yourself...Whoever you are..you want to be the man who saw me first..so I'll take you as my..)

"Ennai?"(me?)(smiles)

"En kalaaba kaadhalanaaga yetrukolla enakku mulu samadham.."

(I fully agree to accept you as my Kalabha kadhalan..)

Saying she turned back and ran away from thrre.

"Ilavarasi nillungal"

(Princess wait..)

But she left inside her room.

Amudhan smiled madly seeing her disappeared way.But his smile faded for some reason.

"Ennai mannithu vidu Sayuri.."

(Forgive me Sayuri..)

Here Sayuri ran inside her room and locked it from inside before plopping on the bed breathing hard.

"Maayakaaran..enakku yen avanai ninaithaalo, paarthaalo mattum ippadi udal silirthu pogiradhu?"

(Magician..why does my body get shivers like this just by thinking or seeing him?)

She placed the pillow on her face hiding behind it but gasped hearing..,

"Ilavarasi.."

She sat up seeing here and there but chuckled blushingly and hitted her forehead.She moved towards the balcony and looked at the moon.

Her blackorbs completely got filled with moon showing her eyes as single colour of white.

"Nilaa dhaan therigiradhu..unakku innum ennidam irundha kovam kuraiya villayaa vaaname?"

(The moon only visible..You still have anger towards me, sky?)

She sighed closing her eyes showing the darkness indicating the dark sky.She grinned wide and her lips started to sing at her heart's rhythm.

"Ilavarasi.."

She turned back and pouted her lips.

" Yaarumilla thaniyarangil

Oru kural polae nee enakkullaeYengo irundhu neeEnnai isaikkiraaiIppadikku un idhayam"

She sat grumpily on the sofa and placed her fisted palm on her cheek.

"Enna solluven idhayathidam

Unnai dhinamum thedumEn pechai ketkaamalUnnai thedum....mmm..."

"Thangalai marakka sonnaal mattum,maaten"

She stood up and ran inside the room searching for him.

"Yaarumilla thaniyarangil

Oru kural polae nee enakkullaeYengo irundhu neeEnnai isaikkiraaiIppadikku un idhayam"

She pouted hugging the bedleg and smiled seeing her reflection on the mirror but squinted her eyes seeing the figures on the mirror and gasped seeing herself and Amudhan.

(Amudhan twirled her and caught her waist leaning towards her but she turned to her left and his lips rouched her cheek.)

Sayuri gasped and touched her cheek.

(Amudhan tilted her head towards him and closed his eyes and leaned towards her lips.)

Sayuri widened her eyes and turend back but sighed seeing none and hitted her forehead blushing.Before twirling herself continuing her singing..,

"Isaiyaal oru ulagam

Adhil nee naan mattum iruppomKanavaal oru illamAthil naam dhaan endrum nijamaa"

She turned towards the bed twirling but gasped and hided behind the next bedleg seeing Amudhan and herself on the bed facing each other but continued her singing.

"Adhu oru yegaandha kaalam

Un madi saaindha kaalamIdhalgal enum padivazhiyilIdhayarthukul irangiyadhukaadhal kaadhal ...kaadhal kaadhal"

(He made her lie on his lap and caressed her hairs before leaning down towards her...)

Sayuri closed her face with her palms but peeked out to see them kissing but his face was hided by her palm on his cheek.

She moved towards them but sighed again and sat on the place where Amudhan sat before and hugged the pillow looking around the room.

"Yaarumilla thaniyarangil

Oru kural polae nee enakkullaeYengo irundhu neeEnnai isaikkiraaiIppadikku un idhayam

She pouted seeing her pillow and pinched it imagining it as Amudhan.

"Enna solluven idhayathidam

Unnai dhinamum thedumEn pechai ketkaamalUnnai thedum....mmm...Yaarumilla thanirangail"

(music)

She slowly moved towards the fireball and stood infront of it but gasped when she felt a hug from behind.She closed her eyes tight and placed her pamm on his arm which was around her waist and leaned on his back.He snuggled into her neck and traced his nose from her neck to her jawline, cheek, and finally pecked her temple.She turned towards him still in arms and cuped his cheeks looking into his eyes.

He opened his mouth to say something but she placed her palm on his mask over his lips stopping him shooking her head horizontally.

"Pesa mozhi thevaillai

Paarthukondaal podhumaeThaniparavai aagalaamaManikuyil naanumae"

He took off her palm from his lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck and both stared into their eyes.

"Sirpam pola seidhu ennai

Sevithavan neeyae neeyae"

She suddenly began to fall front when Amudhan disappeared from her vision.She sighed again.

"Meendum ennai kallaai seiya

Yosippadhum yenada ... sol"

She sat on the bed with worried face and took her pillow.

"Yaarumilla thaniyarangil

Oru kural polae nee enakkullaeYengo irundhu neeEnnai isaikkiraaiIppadikku un idhayam"

She layed down on the bed and hugged her pillow seeing Amudhan besdie her.She cupped his left cheek with her palm and he made her to close her eyes.

"Oh...enna solluven idhayathidam

Unnai dhinamum thedumEn pechai ketkaamalUnnai thedum....mmm..."

She slowly slept as imagining his gentle tap on her arm.

Here Amudhan heard her singing from standing infront of her room door and left from there with tears.

~~~~~

Next day she got bathed and changed into her fresh clothes and directly moved towards the flower garden but left towards the Andhapuram not seeing him there and smiled seeing him sitting beside her sculpture and playing with her fingers.

"Kalaaba kadhalanai thedi vandheergalaa ilavarasi?"

(Are you looking for your Kalabha kadhalan, princess?)

She blushed and he smiled seeing her.

"Ingu enna seigiraai..naan unnai thottathil thedi kondu irundhen.."

(What are you doing here..I have searched for you in garden..)

"En devi engu irukkiraaro angu dhaan naanum iruppen"

(Wherever my Goddess is, I will be there)

He said hinting her sculpture.She smiled and sat on the another side of the sculpture seeing him by balancing her face on her cheek.

"Ippadi ellaam paarka koodaadhu.."

(You should not see me like this..)

He said tracing his eyebrows.

She smiled asking..,

"Yeppadi?"

(How?)

"Podhum ilavarasi..neengal ennai paarpadhil indha sirpam piragu urugi vida pogiradhu.."

(Enough princess..this sculpture will melt away when you look at me like this..)

She laughed.

"Naan unnai paarpadharku sirpam yen uruga pogiradhu?"

(Why is the sculpture melting when I see you?)

"Pin adhu dhaan enidathil ulladhu..thaangal vendum endraal en pakkathil vandhu amarndhu paarungal..neengal dhaan uruguveergal.."

(Then it is with me..if you want..come and sit by my side and see..you will get melt..)

He said innocently at her but she caught his words and blushed.

"Thangal soolchikku naan ellaam madiya maaten.."

(I will not succumb to your tricks..)

She said sitting straight.

"Vendaam..neengal madiya vendaam..naan varugiren.."

(Don't..don't get succumb..I'll come..)

She gasped when he stood up from his place.

"Vendaam..angaye nil.."

(Don't..stay there..)

"Yen ilavarasi?Urugi viduveergalaa?"

(Why princess?Will you get melted?)

He asked teasingly again as She chuckled and stood up.

"Unnai.."(You..)

She chased him as he ran around the andhapuram laughing and teasing her.

After few minutes of running and chasing she breathed hard and sat on the swing.He smiled and stood before her.She caught his wrist and made him to sit beside her and hooked her arms around his arm leaning her head on his shoudler.He placed his cheek on her top head by tapping his feet on the floor to swing.

And then Sayuri went from there as she was called by her father.

On the way to the court after freshing up herself in her room..,

She was pulled by the strong hold on her wrist and she closed her eyes dashing on his front and gulped feeling his palms on her bare waist.

"Enna Sayuri indrum ippadi azhagaaga vandhu ennai katti poda paarkiraayaa?"

(Why Sayuri came so beautiful today.. Are you trying to tie me up with your beauty?)

She opened her eyes and placed her palms on his chest.

"Ashyudhin..ennai vidungal.."

(Ashyudhin leave me..)

"Yen?Naan pudikkka koodaadhaa?"

(Why?Shouldn't I be holding you?)

"Vidungal Ashyudhin..yaaraavadhu paarka pogiraargal.."

(Leave me Ashyudhin..Someone will see us..)

"Idhuppol ethanai murai ethanai perukku mun katti pidithu irukkirom..yen ippadi koorigiraai..yedho mudhal murai pol?"

(How many times have we hugged in front of so many people..why are you saying this..like it's the first time?)

"Adhu..naan yedho theriyaamal..adhu..Ve..vendaam.. vidungal Ashyudhin.."

(That..I..don't..leave me Ashyudhin..)

"Yen vizhi?Enna aayitru umakku..edhaavadhu prechanayaa?"

(Why Vizhi?What happened to you?Is there any problem?)

"Adhelaam yedhuvum illai vidungal.."

(Not like that..leave me..)

She pushed him off from her with force.

"Sayuri..??"

"Than..thandhai ennai udane vara solli aanai itrurukiraar naan sella vendum.."

(My father ordered me to come soon..I am leaving..)

She clasped her hands and turned back leaving from there without meeting his eyes.He smiled weekly at her before following her behind towards the court.

"Aam arase indru alladhu naalai ragasiya thaakudhal engirudhu vendum aanaalum nadakkalaam.."

(Yes king,today or tomorrow secret attack can happen from anywhere..)

Minister said to the king.

"Ashyudhin..?"

"Anaithum thayaaraga ulladhu mama..naan paarthu kolgiren..en idhaiyathai naan eppaadiyaavadhu kaapen..naan thangalukku alitha vaakuridhiyil irundhu oru podhum pin vaanga maaten.."

(Everything is ready uncle..I will take care..I will protect my heart somehow..I will never go back on my promise to you.)

Imaiyavaramban smiled at him.

"Appa.."

"Sollu Sayuri?"

(Tell me Sayuri?)

"Enna vaakurudhi.. yaar yaarukku yedharkaaga alithadhu?"

(What promise.. Who gave it to whom and why?)

"Arasavayil pesa vendiya vishyam idhu illai kannaa.."

(This is not a matter to be discussed in court, dear.)

Sayuri too got silent and looked at Ashyudhin who smiled at her but she averted her gaze making him  to close his eyes and sigh.

After the disperse of Arasavai kootam..,

"Appa.."

"Nee enadhu arayil kaathiru sayuri..veeragale..en arayin mun paadhugaapu valapaduthungal..Ashyudhin nee ennudan vaa.."

(You wait in my room Sayuri..soldiers..enforce security in front of my room..Ashyudin you come with me..)

Sayuri got angry when Ashyudhin smirked at her to tease her.

"Thandhaiye naan ungaludan pesa vendum.."

(Dad I want to talk to you..)

"Sayuri oru mukkiyaamaana vishyam patri naan mama vidam pesa vendum.."

(Sayuri I have to talk to uncle about something important..)

Asyudhin said it to her in his cold tone for the first time towards her.

"Naanum en appa vidam mukkiyamaana vishyathai patri dhaan pesa vendum.."

(I also want to talk to my dad about something important..)

She said in the same tone as him.

"Sayuri..nee sendru kaathiru ma unak.."

(Sayuri you go and wait dear..you..)

Imaiyavaramban too tried to convice her but she glared at him too saying..,

"Ungaluku ennai vida avan dha mukkiyam appadi thaane?"

(Is he more important to you than me?")

King gulped at his daughter's tone.

"Sayuri naan appadi solla villai.."

(Sayuri I didn't mean like that..)

"Siru kulandhai.."

(Little brat)

Ashyudhin murmured under his breathe.Sayuri's anger raised its peak.

"Yaar siru kulandhai..?vaarthaigalai thavaraaga vidaadheergal Aashiva naatin ilavarasare.."

(Who is the little child?Don't let the words go wrong Prince of Aashiva country..)

She said lifting her index towarsd him.

"Melnaatu ilavarasi ku irukkum thimiru enakku konjammaadhu irukka vendaamaa?"

(Shouldn't I have a bit of the arrogance of an Mael country princess?)

He asked smriking by seeing her down.

"Podhum niruthungal iruvarum..Sayuri nee sel..en araiku sel.."

(Stop enough both of you..sayuri you go..go to my room..)

Sayuri glared Ashyudhin deadly and went from there flipping her hairs.

Ashyudhin smiled seeing her.

"Enna Ashyudhin idhellaam?"

(What is all this Ashyudhin?)

"Aval appadithaan mama..neengal vaarungal.."

(She is like that uncle..you come..)

Here, Sayuri moved inside the andhapuram to see Amudhan but sighed not seeing anywhere and sat on the swing with thud.

"Yen ivan ippadi irukkiraan..vittaal en appavin manadhai maatri avargal idhayathil idam pidithu viduvaan pola..appo naan eppadi amudhanai patri appa vidam koora mudiyum..enna seivadhu..ysoi sayuri.."

(Why is he like this..I think he will change my father's mind and get a place in his heart..So how can I tell dad about Amudhan..What to do..think Sayuri.)

She thought about the ways but shooked her head.

"Indha Amudhan yengu sendraar?Oruvan kadhalil pulamba vidugiraan..matroruvan aathirathil pulamba vidugiraan..enna krishnaa idhellaam?"

(Where did this Amudhan go? One made me to wail in love..the other one made me to wail in rage..What Krishna is all this?)

She blabbered and pouted seeing her sculpture and cursed Amudhan under her mind.

~~~~

And that night..,

She moved towards her room with extreme anger towards Amudhan for leaving without informing her.But stopped and gasped feeling the hold on her wrist before she could react she is pulled inside Yamuna's room.

She placed her plam on her knife pocket for defence but sighed in relief seeing Amudhan.

"Ilavarasi..aahh..maa maa valikiradhu.."

(Princess..Ahh..ma maa its paining..)

He shouted her to stop as she hitted his chest.

"Valikattum nangu valikattum..ini sollaamal poveergalaa..aahn?"

(Let it pain more..Will you go without saying..ahn?)

He sighed and caught hold of her palms and placed it on his shoulder before wrapping his around her waist pulling her twards him.

She gasped in shock seeing this side of him.

"En..enna seigireergal?"

(Wha..what are you doing?)

"En ilavarasiyai katti piduthu kondu irukkiren..yen?Thavaraa?"

(I'm hugging my princess..why..is that wrong?)

She blushed looking down hearing his base voice.

"En kangalai paarungal ilavarasi..avai ungalin anumadhikkaaga dhaan kaathirukiradhu.."

(Look at my eyes princess..they are just waiting for your permission..)

He whispered leaning towards her cheek.

"Illai Amudhan vendaam.."

(No Amudhan,dont..)

"Yen?"(why?)

"Naan en appa vidam naalai koora pogiren.."

(I'm going to say to my dad tomorrow)

"Ennadhu?"

(What?)

"Naan ungalai virumbugiren endru.."

Amudhan gulped.

"App..appadiyaa?Appo thaangal ennai virumbugeergalaa?"

(So? Do you like me then?")

He asked in his base tone trying to change her mind.

"Ennai kindal seidhadhu podhum..kilambungal..yaaraavadhu paarthaal.."

(Enough of teasing me..go out..if anyone sees..then..)

She gasped when he hugged her to his chest.She smiled and hugged him back.

"Nandri ilavarasi.."

(Thanks princess..)

"Yedharku.?"

(For what?)

"Ennai nambuvadharku.."

(For trusting me..)

"Unnai naan nambaadharku nee enna seidhaai..enna pidhatrugiraai amudhan?"

(What did you do to make me not trust you?Why are you blabbering like this Amudhan?)

"Ennai mannithu vidungal ilavarasi.."

(Forgive me Princess..)

She narrowed her eyebrows.

"Amudhan?Ippozhudhu indha manippu yedharku?"

(Amudhan?Why i have to forgive you now?)

"Adhuvum ennai nambuvadharkaaga dhaan"

(And that is also for trusting me)

He pulled back and placed a slight kiss on her forehead.

"Naan eppozhudhu un mugathai kaanben?"

(When will I see your face?)

She asked yearningly.

"Seekiram..ellaam nanmaiyaaga mudiyum ena nambukuren..ennai vittu vida maatergal allavaa?"

(Soon..I hope everything will be fine..You won't leave me, will you?)

She frowned and cupped his masked cheeks with her palms.

"Ennavaayitru unakku?"

(What happened to you?)

"Koorungal ilavarasi.. ennai vittu vida maatergal allavaa?"

(Tell me princess..You will not leave me right?)

He asked again by placing his palms on her back palms.

"Naan muyandraalum..en manam adharku idam kodukkaadha amudhan..naan unnai vida maaten..idhu unakku naan kodukkum vaaku.."

(Even if I try..my mind won't give it space Amudhan..I won't let you go..This is my promise to you.)

He smiled and bidded her bye and went from there.

Sayuri smiled and slept on her cot with his thoughts.

At the middle of the night Sayuri twisted and turned in her bed and sat up on the bed and saw beside her for warer.

"Mch..thanneer kooda eduthu vaikka villayaa indha yamuna.."

(Mch..this Yamuna..didn't even placed the water?)

She sighed and stood up and stormed out from her room angrily to yell at Yamuna.But stopped and hided behing the curtain seeing Yamuna and Ashyudhin.

"Enna dhaan ilavarase aayitru?"

(What is even happened prince?)

"Anna endru koopida solli unakku ethanai murai kooruvadhu yamuna"

(How many times does I tell you to call me as Anna,Yamuna?)

(("Anna vaa..amudhan ai dhaane ival annan ena koopiduvaal?"))

Sayuri thought frowning.

"Adhu amudhan ai dhaane ilavarasare?"

(Its for Amudhan only no prince?)

"Neeyum ennai kaaya paduthaadhe yamuna.."

(Yamuna you too don't hurt me..)

He said with sigh.

"Enna vaayitru anna?"

(What happened brother?)

"Sayuri,Amudhanai kaadhalikiraal ena therindhu sandhosham kolavadhaa.. illai andha Amudhanum naan dhaan Ashyudhin uhm naan dhaan.. enbadhu avalukku therindhaal enna aagum ena ninaithu kavalai kollavaa? "

(Will I be happy to know that Sayuri is in love with Amudhan.. or..Worry about what will happen if she finds out That Amudhan is also me and Ashyudhin is also me..)

Sayuri gasped in shock and her eyes got pooled with tears.But she suppressed herself from  storming towards them by closing her mouth with her palms and ran inside her room crying hard.

"Ivai anaithum avargalukkaaga dhaan ena therindhaal..avargal sandhosham dhaan paduvaargal anna"

(If she know that all this is for her..she will be happy brother..)

"Illai Yamuna..enakku migavum kutra unarchiyaaga ulladhu idhai seivadharkku..nangu yosithu edutha mudivu dhaan..irundhaalum..ippozhudhu valikiradhu.."

(No Yamuna..I feel very guilty for doing this..it was a well thought out decision..Although..it pains now..)

He said huffing by placing hands on his waists.

"Namakku ilavarasi nandraaga irundhaal podhum anna.. matravatrai ellaam naam pinbu paarthu kollalaaam.."

(We want our princess to be good brother..we can see everything else later..)

"Mmm..seri Yamuna..naan un arayil irukiren..naan ini ovvaru mani poludhum avaludan iruppadhu mukkiyam.."

(Hmm..Okay Yamuna..I'm in your room..from now I have to be near her for every seconds..)

"Seri anna..naan veru araiyil irundhu kolgiren..thaangal yedhaiyum ninaikaamal urangungal.."

(Okay brother..I will stay in another room..Don't think about anything.. sleep..)

He nodded smiling slightly and left inside Yamuna's room as she left to the another room opposite to Sayuri's.

Next day..,

Sayuri came out from her room angrily and moved towards Yamuna's room.

"Yamunaa...Yamunaaa..Yamunaaaaaa..."

She siighed seeing none and moevd towards the andhapuram and pushed everything there to the floor and stormed towards the garden and looked at Amudhan playing with dove.

"Thangal kalaaba kaadhalanai kaana varuvadharkku ivalavu neramaa ilavaarsi?"

(Is it taking so long for the princess to come to see her Kalabha kadhalan?)

Her chest heavied up and down in anger before moving towards and stood before him with rage.He looked at her frowned.

"Ennavaayitru ilavarasi?"

(What happened princess?)

"Un muga thirayai agatru.."

(Remove your mask..)

He gulped at her and tried to change the topic asusual.

"Ilavarasi..thangalukku enna aayitru..kannellaam yen veengi poi irukkiradhu..iravellaaam ennai ninaithu urangavillayaa?"

(Princess,What happened to you?Why are your eyes swollen..didn't you sleep all night thinking about me?)

He asked teasingly but got jerked when she yelled..,

"PODHUM UN NAADAGM ELLAAM..Ashyudhin!"

(Enough of your dramas..Ashyudhin!!)

Ashyudhin gasped in shock followed by an hard gulp.

"Il..ilav..arasi..naan Amudhan.."

(Pri..prin..cess..I'm Amudhan)

"Amudhan aah..aahn?Ennai paarthaal umakku eppadi therigriadhu aahn?Muga thiraiyai nee ippozhudhu agatrugiraayaa illai naan agatravaa?"

(Amudhan aah..aahn?What even you're thinking about me?Are you going to remove your mask by yourself now or should I remove it?)

"Ilavarasi ennai nam..SAYURI.."

(Princess trust me..SAYURI)

He yelled her name and hugged her before hiding behind the bench as the arrow which was aimed on them pierced the window of the palace.

Her eyes widened in shcok.

"VEERARGALE.."

On the next second the war conch echoed the whole castle.

"Ashyudhin ingu enna nadakiradhu?"

(Ashyudhin what's happening here?)

"Sayuri ippozhudhu ennaal yedhuvum solla mdiyaadhu..nee amaidhiyaaga iru.."

(Sayuri, I can't say anything now..you keep calm.)

"Enakku ippozhudhu therindhe aaga vendum koorungal..yaar ivargal..por nadandhaal neradiyaaga dhane nadatha vendum..eppadi ippadi ragasiyamaaga nadath.."

(Now I want to know tell me..who are they..if the war happens, they should conduct it directly..how it be this secret..)

"Yenandraal idhu irandu naatin naduvil nadakkum por alla sayuri.."

(Because.. this is not just a war between two countries Sayuri..)

"Pin?"

(Then?)

"Idhu unakkaaga irandu ilavarasargal panguperum por.."

(This is a battle where two princes will participate for you.)

He yelled at her losing his cool.

"Enak..enakaaga..vaa?"

(Fo..for me?)

"Aam..unadhu kelvigal theerndhu vittadhu endraal ingiradhu sel..poi un araiyil.."

(Yes..if your questions are over then go..go to your room and..)

She stopped him asking..,

"Araiyil maraidhirukka dhaan enakku vithai ellam katru kudutheergalaa Ashyudhin?"

(Did you teach me all the tricks just to hide inside the room, Ashyudhin?)

"Ippozhudhu nee sendru dhaan aaga vendum. unakkkaaga nadakkum poril neeye kalandhu kolvaayaa?Enna paithiyakaara thanamaaga pesi kondirukiraa?"

(Now you just have to go...Will you join the battle for yourself?What crazy nonsense are you talking about?)

He asked angrily towards her peeking out from the bench.But got startled hearing..,

"Naan enakkaaga illai..En Amudhanukkaaga seigiren.."

(I'm not doing it for me..I'm doing it for my Amudhan..)

He turned towards her who was already staring him with tears.

"Amudhanum, thaangalum oruvaraaga irundhaalum..naan Amudhanai kaadhalithadhu oru podhum maaraadhu..naan avanukku vaaku koduthu irukkiren..orupodhum avanai vittu vida maaten endru.."

(Even if Amudhan and you are one..my love for Amudhan will never change..I have promised him..that I will never leave him..)

His tears too rolled down on his cheeks.

She smiled and wiped her tears.

"Indha muga moodiyai agatraadheergal..ennaal andha Ashyudhin ai dhaan namba mudiyaadhu..aanaal en Amudhanirukaaga naan vil yendha dhaan pogiren.."

(Don't remove this mask..I can't trust that Ashyudhin..but I'm going to raise my bow for my Amudhan..)

Saying she stood up and ran inside her room by escaping herself from the lot of arrows which are aimed on her.

Ashyudhin fisted his palms and stood up taking his sword from the quiver behind him and defenced himself by cutting all the arrows aimed on him.

Soon the war began to builded up.Sayuri too started to fight with them with her bow and arrow.

"Sayuri naan solvadhai ketka maataayaa?"

(You won't listen to my words Sayuri?)

He asked hitting the person before her with the sword.

"Ketka maaten.."

(I won't)

"Yen sayuri ippadi seigiraai..unakku edhaadhu aanaal naan enna seiven?"

(Why are you doing like this Sayuri?What will I do if something happens to you?)

"Yedho sei..enakkenna?Naan en Amudhanukkaaga sandai purigiren..unakku poraamai endru sol.."

(Do anything...what to me? I fight for my Amudhan..Tell me you are jealous..)

Ashyudhin sighed hard before removing his mask and pulled her behind the bush and gripped her waist angrliy.

"Aaam enakku poraamai dhaan..avan vandhadhum ennai marandhu, ennai odhukka aarambithu vittaai.. appadithaane?"

(Yes, I'm jealous..When he came, you forgot me and started distancing me..Is that so?)

He asked gritting his teeth.

"Aam..pin kadhalippavanai yemaatra solgiraayaa..?Anaivarum unnai polaye irukka maataargal.."

(Yes..Then you tell me to cheat on the one I love..? Not everyone will be like you..")

She asked raising her eyebrows.

"Romba migudhiyaaga pesugiraai Sayuri nee.."

(You are talking too much Sayuri..)

"Nee seidhadhai vida illai..ini naan engu sendru en Amudhanai theduven..nee.."

(Not more than you did..now where shall I go to find my Amudhan..you..)

He gritted his teeth and pushed her out from the bush she gasped seeing the arrow flying towards her in full speed through corner of her eyes.She shut her eyes tightly in fear.Ashyudhin smiled seeing her and pulled her wrist as she dashed on him and arrow got dashed on the wall and fell down.

She looked him up glaringly but he kissed hef forehead.

"Unakkaaga dhaan Seidhen sayuri..naan vendaamaa?"

(I did it just for you Sayuri..don't you need me?)

"Vendaam..nee yaar enakku..nee vendaam..enakku..nee..vendaam.."

(Don't..Who are you to me? I don't.. want you..I don't.. want.. you..)

She said stretching every words.

"Appo Amudhanum vendaamaa?"

(Then you don't want Amudhan too?)

"Aah Amudhan vendum...nee vendaam.."

(I want Amudhan..but I don't want you..)

He chuckled and traced her jawline with his fingers.

"Angu por nadandhu kondu irukiradhu.."

(There is a war going on.)

She said closing her eyes by getting melted in his feathery touches.

"Umadhu manadhil nadakkum porai vidavaa?"

(Is that than the war inside your mind?)

"Idhai patri piragu pesi kollalaam.. mudhalil avanai mudippom..naan vendumaa avanukku?"

(We can talk about this later.. Let's finish him first.. Does he want me?)

She said in anger.

"Naan koduthu viduvenaa en roja idhalai?"

(Should I give away my rose petal?)

"Neer dhaan adhaiyum seidhu ulleergal.. aanaal kettaal adhu Amudhan seidhadhu.. appadithaane?"

(You have done that too.. But if I ask, it was Amudhan.. Is that so?)

She asked gripping his collars in her fists with fake anger.

"Aaam..avan dhaane umakku vendum sel..andhapurathil irupppaan.."

(Yes..you want him only right?..He will be there for you in andhapuram go..)

"Angu sendraalum ippozhudhu avan angu irukka maataan..ingu periya poril irukkiraan.."

(Even if I goes there, he will not be there now..He is in a big battle here..)

She said smiling.

"Idhai vida azhagaana por-il yevanum irukka maataan."

(There will no one be like this beautiful war..)

He said teasingly indicating their position as she was hooking her arms around his neck where his arms was around her waist.She blushed and pushed him away from her.

And they again came out from the bush and continued their fighting againt the opposite person's soldiers.

And the war somehow ended after Ashyudhin pushing down the opposite person on the ground from his radham.They had a slight brushes and scratches after completing the battle.

"Indha iduppil yevan kaayam yerpaduthinaan?"

(Who injured this hip?)

She glared him swatting his hands away from her hip.He chuckled and followed her behind.

~~~

"Appa enna idhellaam aahn?Andha andai naatu kaaran ithanai murai thangalai ilivaaga pesi irukkiraan..enndiam kooda koora villai..idhil indha thittam vaeru pottirukireergal thangal anbu marumaganudan?"

(Dad, what is all this, Ahn? That neighbor has been talking down about you so many times..You didn't even say what to me..in this you, have put this plan differently with your beloved son-in-law?)

She asked angrily at him.

"Mannithu vidu Sayuri..ivan dhaan ennai naadagam aada koorinaan.."

(Forgive me Sayuri..He was the one who asked me to play this drama..)

He said pointing Ashyudhin who gasped at him.

"Avan koorinaal..thangalukku sondhamaaga moolai illayaa..naan oru muttal..ivan kuralai kooda kandu pudikka mudiyaamal..poyum poyum andha Amudhanai kadhalithu vitten.."

(If he says..don't you have brains of your own..I'm a fool..I can't understand even his voice..I fell in love with that Amudhan..)

"Poyum poyum aah?"

Ashyudhin asked rasing his eyebrows.

"Aam avanai ellaam yaar kadhalippar..seriyaana kavidhai paithiyam..naduvil yedhaavadhu paithiyam pola pidhatra vera seivaan.."

(Yes who will love him all..such a poetry crazy..in the middle he will do something madly too..)

"Ohh..andha paithiyathidam dhaan naan unnai oru podhum vittu vida maaten endru vaakuridhi alutheergalaaa ilavarasi?"

(Oh..Will you promise that "I will never leave you" to that  mad man, princess?)

He asked smirking at her.

"Enakku eppadi avan oru yemaatru kaaran ena theriyum ilavarasaare?"

(How do I know that he's a cheater.. prince?)

She asked smirking back at him.He glared at her.

"Umakku vaai mattum illai endraal naai thooki kondu poi vidum.."

(If you don't have a mouth, the dog only will carry you away.)

"Ummai andha naai kooda thooki kondu sella mduiyaadhu..panai maram uyarathil irundhaal.."\

(Even that dog can't carry you..If the you are like a palm tree)

"Naan panai maram uyarathil irukkirenaa?Nee dhaan valaraamal irukkiraai..vaathu pola.."

(Am I as high as a palm tree? You are not growing..like a duck..)

"Yaarai paarthu da vaathu endru koorinaai?"

(Who did you say you were a duck?)

She stood up from her place angrily.

"Unnai thaan.."

(Its you..)

He said casually shrugging his shouder.

"Unnaiii.."(You..)

She moved towards him and hitted his chest, head and randomly wherever she gets access.But gasped when he pulled her to his lap.

King sighed and eyed others to go out and he too left from there leaving them alone and entered inside his room.

"Mayol.."

"Vaarungala arase..sayuri eppadi riukkiraal?"

(Come king..how is Sayuri?)

"Aval nandraaga irukkiraal..naam avargal kalyana velaiyai miga viraivaaga nadatha vendum.."

(She is fine..we need to start their wedding work very soon..)

"Naalaiye nalla naal dhaan arase naal kaalai eh vaithu vidalaam.."

(Tomorrow is a good day king,We can keep it tomorrow morning itself..)

"Mm periyorgal samadhathudan mudikkalaam..Mayol.."

(Hmmm let's finish with the consent of the elders..mayol..)

Mayol hummed and they began to send olai message for every countries by inviting them to their children's marraige.

~~~~

Next day night..,

"Amudhan vendum nee vendaam sel ingirandhu.."

(I want Amuthan, you don't want, go away from here..)

"Sayuri..enakku kobam varudhu di..ingu vaa.."

(Sayuri..I'm getting angry di..come here..)

"Vara maaten.."

(I won't come)

She jumped down from the bed and ran around the room as he chased her behind.

"Naan dhaan di Amudhan.."

(I'm Amudhan)

"Illai.. en Amudhan ipdi alangaaram ellaam seidhirukka maataan..avan azhagaaga iruppan..nee Ashyudhin..indha naatin ilavarasan..en kanavan Amudhan alla.."

(No.. my Amudhan would not have done all the fashions like this..he would be handsome..you are Ashyudhin..the prince of this country..not my husband Amudhan..")

"Pin yen naan kattiya maangalyathai nee potirukiraai.."

(Then why have you put the Mangalyam I tied..)

"Adhu ondrum nee kattiyadhu illai..en Amudhan kattiyadhu..Eii.."

(It's nothing you tied.. My Amuthan tied this..Eii..)

She squeeled in shock when he lifted her in his shoulder and throwed her on the bed before pushing down all the curtains around their cot.

"Nee vendaam enakku sel..ingirundhu.."

(I don't want you..go from here..)

"Sayuriiii.."

"Amudhan evalavu nallavan theriyumaa..enakku indha Ashyudhinai pidikave illai.."

(Do you know how good Amuthan is..I don't like this Ashyutin at all..)

"Yen ippadi adam pudikiraai..ennavaayitru unakku..nee idhai vilayaataaii solvadhu pol solgiraai.. aanaal unnai yemaatri vitten endru ninaithaal enakku indrum valikiradhu Sayuri.."

(Why are you talking like this..what happened to you..you are saying this just like playing..But it still hurts me to think that I cheated on you, Sayuri.)

He said lyign flatly on the cot staring the ceiling.She pouted and moved towards him and cupped his cheek.

"Enakku unnaiyum pudukkim Ashyudhin.. aanaal adhu makkalin ilavarasanaaga mattum dhaan.."

(I love you too Ashyudin.... but that is only as a prince of people..)

"Appo Amudhan?"

"Amudhanai enakku ennavanaaga pudikkum..Ashyudhin ai makkalavanaaga pudukkim..mothathil nee yaaraaga irundhaalum pudikkum..nee ennai yeaamtriyadhu enkaaga dhaan..adharkaga naan unmel koba pattaal ennai vida oru muttaal indha ulagathil yaarum irukka maataal.."

(I like Amudhan as mine..and I like Ashyudhin as people's prince..All in all, whoever you are, I will be happy.. You cheated me yes..but its all for me..If I get angry with you for that, there will not be a fool in this world than me..)

He smiled and wrapped his arm on her back and pulled her towards him.

"Appo ippo yaarai pudikkum..?"

(Then who you like now?)

She smirked and moved towards his ears whispering..,

"Amudhan.."

He sighed but gasped heairng her next reply.

"Ippozhudhu nee porumaiyaaga ennai aandaal Amudhan..muradanaaga adakkinaal Ashyudhin.."

(Now..if you patiently rule me then it's Amuthan..or you take me so rudely then it's Ashyudhin..)

He chuckled and hovered over her closing the gap between them.

And the souls became one after the lot of struggles in their mind and gave the mean to be love in the saatchi(witness) of panjaboodhangal Nilam, Neer, Kaatru, Aagayam, Neruppu.

And the next morning..,

Sayuri drawn patterns on his bare chest as he pulled the white quilt covering them both under it.

"Ilavarasi.."

(Princess)

"Mmm solllungal ilavarasare.."

(Mmm tell me Prince)

"Ippozhudhu naan yaar..muradanaa..porumaiyaanavanaa?"

(Who am I now?Rude or patient?)

He asked in his base tone.She blushed and snuggled into his chest.

"Rendum.."

(Both)

"Ohh..appo naan Amudhanaa?Ashyudhin aah?"

(Ohh..then..I'm Amudhan or Ashyudhin?)

She pulled back from him and tapped her chin thinking before smiling sheepishly at him saying..,

"Amudhashyudhin.."

He laughed at her.

"Amudhashyudhin aah?"

"Aam.."(yes)

"Appo nee?"

"Naan..(smiling wide)...Aashiva naatin Ilavarasarin manaivi Sayuri Amudhashyudhin.."

(I..Aashiva country's prince's wife Sayuri Amudhashyudhin..)

He laughed tickling her waist as she laughed out loud before squirming under him inside the blancket.

And the war of love struggle between Sayuri and Amudhashyudhin begins, continued and will continue forever......
