'The real lover is a man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.'

That day, the royal palace was being much rowdier than usual. Every servant maid was running around the palace in all directions.

Sangamithra went to Rukmani.

Sangamithra: Atthai Indru edhum viseshama?

Rukmani: Indru nam ooril mulaippari thiruvizha (sprouts festival).

Indru andha ammanai vendi kondu mulaippaariyai aatril vittaal, vilaichal sezhumaiyai irukkum magale.

Sangamithra: Naamum mulaippaari viduvoma?

Her voice showed her enthusiasm.

Rukmani: Arasarin peril mulaipaarigal sellum aanal naam kondu poga povadhillai.

Naam vizhavil kalandhu kolla mattume seivom.

Sangamithra: Sari atthai.

Rukmani: Unakum oru velai irukkiradhu.

Sangamithra: Enna velai???

Rukmani: Ungal thirumanam mudindhu 4 maadhangal mel aagivittana. Innum un thaali pirithu korka padamal irukkiradhu allava???

Adhai Indru dhaan seiya pogirom.

Sangamithra: Sari atthai.

She didn't even get that feeling of getting married to have it changed. It really felt different for her.

Rukmani: Magale, Indru nee samaikka veandi irukkum...

Sangamithra: Samaippatha??? Anaivarukuma atthai??

Rukmani: Illai... Idhu ungal mudhal Aadi enbadhal nee un kanavarukaga samaikka veandi irukkum.

Rukmani did the thaali changing ritual in her chamber in front of their deity.

Aditha gave her the gold pendants to be added to the thaali which were usually given by bride's parents.

Ponnarasi was fuming in anger when she got to know about it.

Ponnarasi: Avargal migavum nerungi konde pogirargal, atthai.

Aval dhinamum kaalaiyil thalai niraiya malargalai soodi irukkiral.

Avai engirundhu varugindrana ena theriyavillai.

Indru ennavendral, atthaan avalin thaaliku por kaasugalaiyum padhakkangalaiyum tharugirar.

Ippadiye ponaal naangal iruppadhai avar muzhudhaai marandhu viduvar.

Boomadevi: Varundhadhe Ponnarasi. Anaiya pogum vilakku eppodhum pragasamai dhaan minnum.

Avaluku Avan enna seidhalum aval nedu naatkal vaazha povadhillai.

Indru unaku oru velai irukkiradhu.

Rukmani idhu avargalin mudhal Aadi enbadhal sila yerpaadugal seidhirukkiral.

Adhil Neengal iruvarum kalandhu kolla veandum.

Ungaluku samaikka theriyum dhaane???

Ponnarasi: Theriyum atthai.

Poovarasi: Theriyadhu atthai.

Boomadevi: Sari samayalkaaranai samaikka solli adhai nee seidhadhaga solli kollalam.

Adhu mattum illai ungal velai... Aval seivadhaiyum kedukka veandum.

Ponnarasi: Sirappaga seidhu vidalam, atthai.

Poovarasi, enna kurale kaanom.

Poovarasi: Satru ayarchi aaga irukkiradhu. Neengal solvadhu polave seidhu vidugirom.

------

In the dining hall,

Aditha: Enna thaaye idhu??? Indru pudhu gavanippaga irukkiradhu...

He saw table full of dishes served.

Rukmani: Indru ungaluku mudhal Aadi allava??

Aditha: Adhanal??

Rukmani: Unnudaiya manaivigal unakaga samaithu irukkirargal.

Aditha: Manaivigala????

He asked the question looking at his wife. Sangamithra smiled.

Rukmani: Aam. Ponnarasi, Poovarasi, Sangamithra dhaan.

Aditha: Oh...

Rukmani: Avargal samaitha unavugal dhaan ivai Anaithum. Adhil nee suvai paarthu yaar samaithadhu edhu endru kandu pidikka veandum.

Yaarudaiya unavu unaku migavum pidithu irukkiradho suvaiyaga irukkiradho avargaluku nee parisalikka veandum.

Aditha nodded his head.

Aditha: Suvaiyai irundhal dhaan oppukolven... Enna Mithra??? Sammadham dhaane???

Sangamithra: Ungaluku yaarudaiya unavu pidithu irukkiradho Neengal parisu alikalam.

Kobithu kondu arai veliye anuppa matten.

She answered him in her mischievous tone.

Rukmani smiled at them. Ponnarasi was shocked and Poovarasi didn't show any interest in any of these things.

Aditha: En manaiviye solli vittal, thaaye. Suvaithu paarthu solgiren.

Ponnarasi: Eppadiyum aval jeikka povadhu illai. Evvalavvu kaalathirku indha aattam endru paarppom.

Aditha started tasting all the dishes and picked three out of it.

Aditha: Indha mor kozhambu, thean mittai matrum indha oodha nira inippu.

Ponnarasi was shocked. All three of them were prepared by the fourth princess. In order to have more chances to win, she cooked eight dishes. Yet she lost to Sangamithra who only cooked three dishes. Even Poovarasi was shocked.

Ponnarasi: Atthaan, Neengal avaluku parapatcham kaatugirirgal.

Aditha: Ilavarase... Ilavarase endru azhaikka veandum..

Ponnarasi: Neengal avaluku parapatcham kaatugirirgal Ilavarase.

Aditha: Thaaye, ivvunuvugalai (these foods) suvaithu paarthu edhu nandraga irukkiradhu endru koorungal.

Rukmani tasted and came to the same conclusion as him.

Aditha: Ennudaiya mudivil ippodhum nambikkai illaiya Ponnarasi Devi??

Ponnarasi: Avalai jeikka veikka Neengal iruvarum serndhu seiyum vilayaattu idhu.

Aditha: Maharani... Thaaye... Neengal dhaan idharku oru niyayam koora veandum.

Boomadevi, who was crossing the chamber, entered when the crown prince called her.

Aditha: Ingu irukkum unavugalai suvai paarthu edhu nandraga irukkiradhu endru sollungal.

Boomadevi: Appadiye magane.

She picked the three best of all the dishes. She chose the correct ones as she knew her nieces sabotaged Sangamithra's dishes.

Aditha: Neengalum en mudivai dhaan eduthu irukirirgal.

Ponnarasi: Illai idhu eppadi sariyaga varum???

Avaludaiya unavil uppum kaaramum kalandhene...

Boomadevi: Yaar unavu jeithadhu endru sol magane???

Aditha: Indha moondru pandangalaiyum samaithavar munne varalam.

Sangamithra: Ivatrai samaithadhu naan dhaan.

Boomadevi didn't show any expression but the same cannot be said for Ponnarasi.

Rukmani: En marumagalin kaigal thangathaal aanadhu.

Magale, nee samaitha unavai patri Satru kooru.

Sangamithra: Ondrum pudhidhaga illai atthai...

Vendakaai vaithu morkozhambu yean endraal avaruku pulippu migavum pidikum.

Thean mittai avar enaku alitha theanin ninaivaaga..

Oodha pookalai Vega vaithu niram eduthu maavu pidithu urundaigalai seidhu paalil aana thirattu serthu seidha inippu. Yean endral oodha pookalin theanai avar oru murai enaku paruga thandhaar.

Avaruku samaikka veandum endru Neengal kooriyadhal avarai Manadhil vaithu samaithen.

Her face flustered when she said everything. Aditha had a triumphant smile on his face.

Aditha: Ingu vaa Mithra...

She went near him.

Aditha: Un kaigalai neettu...

When she extended her hand, he slid a ring in her finger.

Aditha: Idhu ennai petra Thaayi enaku kodutha modhiram.

Avarin Kai vannathai ithanai kaalangal kazhithu ninaivu ootiyadharku indha parisu.

She smiled from her heart. She was able to see his genuine feelings behind the gift.

Aditha: Ennaal mudindhal unnai ippodhe thooki kondu poi thindru mudithu viduven...

He whispered. She poked his chest again. Everyone turned their faces when they noticed the couple being lovey dovey.

Boomadevi: Maalai thiruvizhavirku pala velaigal irukiradhu.. naan varugiren.

Rukmani: Ungal velaigal mudindhadhu marumagalgale. Neengalum undu siridhu oivu eduthu pinnar thiruvizhavirku thayar aagungal.

Magane... Innum Aadi mudiya 12 naatkal irukkiradhu... En marumagalai andhapurathirku anuppu.

Aditha: Dharalamaaga...

When they were leaving the chamber, Sangamithra leaned and whispered to Ponnarasi.

Sangamithra: Nandri akka... Neengal illaiyendral naan jeithu irukka mudiyadhu...

Ponnarasi: Enna solgiraai???

Sangamithra: Aam. Neengal sirithu konde nallaval pola nadippadhu enaku theriyadhu endru ninaitheergala???

Neengal anaithilum uppu, kaaram matrum inippai Sariyai serthadhal dhaan en pandangal (dishes) nandraai irundhana.

Neengal serppirgal endra nambikkaiyil dhaan edhilum naan uppo kaaramo seeniyo serkka villai.

Adutha murai uppu pandathil uppai serkkaamal inippai serthu muyarchithu paarungal... Edhenum nadakkalam.

She walked ahead and then stopped.

Sangamithra: Solla marnadhu vitten... Avarai Atthaan kithaan adhu idhu endru ini azhaithaal akka endru kooda paarka matten... Kondru viduven.

Ponnarasi wasn't able to contain her anger. The girl who was scratching the ground beneath her leg, had risen and standing shoulder to shoulder with her. She wanted to kill her immediately.

Poovarasi walked out like nothing happened.

Boomadevi chamber...

Boomadevi: Appadiya sonnaal???

Ponnarasi: Aamam atthai. Ellam Ilavarasar kudukum idam.

Indha Poovarasi Kum edho aayitru... Edhu nadandhalum amaidhiyai irukkiral.

Boomadevi: Poovarasi, sol... Enna aanadhu...

Poovarasi: Naan sonnaal namba maatteergal. Veandom. Edhuvum pesamal iruppadhe enaku nalladhu, atthai.

Boomadevi: Enna di ularugirai??

Poovarasi: Neengal anaivarum avalai migavum thavaraga idai podugirirgal??

Ponnarasi: Nee enna kandupidithai ena sol....

Poovarasi: Naan solven... Aanal adhu ekkaaranathai kondum en moolamaga veliye vandhadhaga theriya koodadhu.

Boomadevi: Sol..

Poovarasi: Andru naan Neengal kooriya padi ialavarasarin araiku ponen. Angu ponaal, Ilavarasarum avalum avarin pin Kulathil ondraai kulithu kondu irundhanar.

Ponnarasi: Kuliyala??? Asingam... Avvalavu keezh tharamanavala aval???

Poovarasi: Aam. Ennai paarthadhum Ilavarasar pinnal olindhu kondaal. Udalai sutri ore oru melliya aadai dhaan katti irundhal. Adharku aval kattamale irundhu irukkalam.

Ponnarasi: Chi... Penna aval?? Ippadi dhaan mayakkugiral polum.

Boomadevi: Nee yean idhai Andre koora villai???

Poovarasi: Aval dhaan ilavarasaridam ennai miratta sonnal... Naan Ingu vandhu unmaigalai uraithaal pinnar Ilavarasar endrume ennai thirumbi kooda paarka mattar ena solla sonnaal...

Ilavarasarum Appadiye ennai miratti anuppinar.

The second princess totally hid the reason he threatened her with. She wanted a revenge on Sangamithra for that day's incident. So she waited and made use of the moment Ponnarasi was extremely angered.

Ponnarasi: Atthai... Avalai naam ippadiye Vida koodadhu...

Boomadevi: Avaluku naan indre mudivu kattugiren.

Neengal sendru thiruvizhavirku thayar aagungal

Rukmani: Evvalavvu azhagai irukkiraai, magale...

Sangamithra: Nandri atthai... Umayal enge??? Paarka mudivadhe illaye...

Rukmani: Avaluku andhapura vishayangalil eedubaadu illai... Arasiyalil dhaan eedubaadu.

Avalin aasanudan edhavadhu karppithu thara solli adhai eppodhum ezhudhi kondiruppal.

Sangamithra: Kalvi nalladhu dhaane atthai???

Rukmani: Avalukum thirumana vayadhu vandhu vittadhe...

Sangamithra: 16 vayadhu dhaane aagiradhu???

Rukmani: endha kaalathil irukkirai magale. Naan 13 vayadhile aranmanaiku vandhu vitten theriyuma???

Sangamithra: Sila naatkal nagaratum atthai... Ungal pattathu ilavarasane nalla mappillaiyai paarppar.

Rukmani: Nadakkum kandippaga...

Sari vaa. Naam purapaduvom. Aattrin karaiyil sendru paarka veandum allava???

Pozhudhodu ponaal nalladhu... Ilavarasar illai endra Varutham Veandom.

Indha atthai irukkiren.

The young lady smiled and nodded her head.

Sangamithra: Sari atthai.

They didn't know about the upcoming peril at that point.
