'When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on.'

A few days ago....

Sevili: Devi, naam indha udaiyil sella kaaranam???

Adhuvum indha koodaigalai ellam thooki kondu???

Sangamithra: Ellam kaaranamaga thaan...

Sevili: Adhai thaan vilakkungaken... Indha viragai veru sumandhu varugirome...

Oor ellaiyil veru vandi vandiyaga viragugal nirkindrana...

Neengal naam palasarakku vaanga pogirom endru kooriyadhum aasaiyudan vandhen... Ippodhu Neengal seivadhu enaku Ondrum vilangavillai, Devi.

Sangamithra: Ha ha ha ha ha... Idhu enna maadham???

Sevili: Purattasi...

Sangamithra: Hmmm... Veyilum Mazhaiyum maari maari pozhiyum purattasi maadham.

Indha maadhathil makkaluku viragugal kedaikkuma???

Adhanal dhaan virkka pogirom.

Sevili: Oru maadhiriyaga Purigiradhu, Devi.

In actuality, she didn't understand. Sangamithra knew her maid didn't understand a word she uttered. With smile, she proceeded to walk into the first village.

Sangamithra: veragu... veragu... veragu vaangaliyo veragu...

She started selling when she saw some ladies walking towards them in the street.

Lady 1: yeannamma nee Eesan manaivi dhaane??

Sangamithra: Amanga...

Lady 2: Idhu ennamma velai???

Sangamithra: Idhule enna ma irukku??? Ellam oru thozhil dhaane... en purushanuku udhavanum le. Avar kaiye paathe kanji kudikka mudiyuma???

Lady 3: Sari dhaan... Eesanai pola nandraga pesugiraiye.

Sangamithra smiled innocently.

Lady 1: yean ma??? Enga veetuleiye veragu irukke... ippo edhuku indha viyavaram??

Sangamithra: Thaayi... naan thalaile vechirukiradhu sandhana kattai..

Sangamithra: Enga avar irukkar le ma?? Avar arasar veetuku viragu vetta ponaar.. nallaa velai seiradhe paathutu kadaisile oru 10 marathe avareiye vettikka sonnangalam..

Andha 10 marathe vetti naanga thingava mudiyum??

Adhan adhe vithu enga veetuku pandam vaangitu polam nu vandhomnga...

Lady 2: Un kooda irukkum pen yaaramma???

Sangamithra: Iva en thangachi, Sevili. Neraiya veragu irukku nu Ivalai kootiyandhen. Iva dhaan en kooda idhellam sumandhutu varaa...

Sangamithra: naan ingana vandhuten... avangalum engayachi vayithu pozhuppuku dhaan poiruppaga Thaayi...

She sat down on the ground and showed them the firewood.

Lady 2: Idhellam romba nalla irukke...

Sangamithra: Aduppile vechi paarunga... veede manakkum...

Sevili: Enga maman endha naal leiyum enga akkale vittadhe illa... indha sandhana kattaiye thechi kulika aarambichadhum enga akka kaalaiye suthi kedakkurar, Thaayi...

Nambi vaangunga... unga mamanukum pidikkum...

Sangamithra smiled at her maid. Sevili was clever and a quick learner.

Lady 3: Appo naan vaangikuren...

Lady 1 & 2: Appo naangalum vaangikrom.

Sangamithra: Vaanga Thaayi vandhu paathu eduthukonga...

Lady 3: Ethanai naanayam nu sollamma...

She walked three more villages and made pacts for all the necessary vegetables and groceries.

They returned in the bull cart to keep their travel a secret.

Sevili: Devi, arasa thottathile Anaithum irukka edharku ivargalidam naam vaanga veandum???

Sangamithra was pressing her legs as she was tired from all day's walk.

Sangamithra: Enna sonnaai??? Arasa thottam dhaane??? Perai pola adhu Arasar thottam... endha nerathil yaar enna seivar endru naam ariyom. Adhanal munnechirkkaiyudan iruppadhe saala sirandhadhu, Sevili.

Sangamithra: Arasa maaligaiyin kidangil athanai marangal kidakkindrana...

Sevili: En deviya ippadi maari iruppadhu???

Sangamithra: Indha maaligaiyum adhil vaazhum makkalum karpitha paadangal dhaan...

Current day

Boopalan entered the venue as the first person. He and the other ministers were welcomed by Subodhar.

First minister: Enna appa??? Makkal ellam vandhaagi vittadha???

Subodhar: Avargal ellam vandhaagi vittadhu...

Chandira palingu mandapathil thanga vaikka pattullanar. Innum siridhu kaalathil vandhu serndhu viduvar.

The first minister fumed inside. They even tried to sabotage the place arranged for the people. However, Aditha changed their accommodation at the last minute.

First minister: Sari appa... ithanaiyum seidha pattathu ilavarasarai kaana villaiye...

Subodhar: Avaruku avasaramai oru Pani vandhu vittadhu... adhai mudithu vittu sandhippil vandhu kalandhu kolvar mandhiriyare.

Neengal Amarungal...

Minister: Enna pa idhu??? Virundhu veandum endru kuzhandhai pola allaadi vittu Ippozhudhu virundhai thodangave aal illai endraal eppadi???

Nandanar: Adhanal dhaan andha paniyai indha kizhavanidam oppadaithu sendrirukirar Ilavarasar.

The other minister wasn't able to respond. Nandanar was the elder in the royal court. Even the king stood up when he entered the royal court.

First minister: Iruppinum thangaluku vayadhu aanadhe endru karudhugirar polum neervala thurai mandhiri...

Nandanar: Indha udaluku dhaan vayadhu... en moolaiyil oru kuraiyum illai...

Varuvorai vaarungal endru azhaithu unna solvadhil enna irukkiradhu???

Thulli kudhithu Pani seiya ithanai pillaigal irukkum pozhudhu...

The first minister then smiled and turned towards the ministers that came with him. He talked in a hushed voice.

First minister: Aarambathileiye avanai kaanom...

Innum siridhu nerathil virundhum kettu pogum... anaivarum nindru vedikkai paarthal podhum....

He then looked at one of the ministers.

First minister: Naam solli koduthadhai Appadiye solvadhu pola aalai pidithaaiya???

Minister: thalai nagarai serndhavan dhaan. 1000 porkaasugaluku pendatiye virppaan...

Naam Sonnadhai seiya mattana???

First minister: Nalladhu nalladhu... Indru naam kodukkum adiyil andha Adithan arasa padhaviyai kanavil kooda ninaithu paarka koodadhu...

The crown prince pavilion..

Royal kitchen..

Sangamithra was directing all the chefs in the Crown Prince's kitchen. She doubted that the people in the royal palace could mess up with the royal chefs who serve the king.

The king ordered the royal chefs to cook the feast. However, she knew that the evil queen really made some plans before leaving the palace.

Hence, she already informed the Crown Prince's kitchen to be ready to cook at immediate notice. Thankfully, her precautions helped. She was praying the almighty in her heart for everything to work well.

Rukmani was helping on one end with Sevili. The servants and maids in the crown Prince's pavilion really worked hard for their beloved prince. Sangamithra then saw Poovizhi and Bommi walking towards her with hesitation.

Sangamithra: Vaarungal...

Poovizhi: Devi, andru naan odi sendru vitten.. mannithu vidungal...

Sangamithra: Parava illai, Malarvizhi... nee edhenum kaaranathudan dhaan sendriruppai.

Sari.. Ingu Vara unnidam yaar sonnadhu???

Poovizhi: Vazhiyil Veerarai paarthom. Avar dhaan ungaluku velaiku nambikaiyana aal thevai padugiradhu endru koorinar...

Neengal sonnaal Naangal velai seivom... illai endraal sendru vidugirom Devi.

Sangamithra: Enna ma nee??? En uyiraiye kaappatrinaai... vaa...

Unaku samaikka theriyuma???

Poovizhi: Nandraga theriyum Devi...

Sangamithra: Appodhu Rukmani deviyaridam sendru kettu kol...

Bommi dhaane??? Neeyum sel...

Bommi smiled and they went in to meet Rukmani.

Rukmani instructed them on the things they need to do. After Bommi left, Rukmani held Poovizhi's arm.

Rukmani: Nee Poovizhi dhaane???

Poovizhi tried to deny it.

Rukmani: Kavalai padadhe... yaaridamum solla matten. Sendru paniyai paaramma, MALARVIZHI.

She thanked her through the eyes. Rukmani remembered Poovizhi as she was familiar with Boomadevi's family. However, she also knew that this girl was different from everyone else.

------

The village heads started pouring in and the venue filled quickly. To the first minister's surprise, the food was also brought.

Nandanar came in front and stood on the dais.

Nandanar: Vandhu parimaarungalappa...

Anaithum thalaivargalum nandru undu kaliyungal.

Virundhu niravutra udan, Ilavarasar thaane vandhu ungalai sandhippar.

The hall erupted in noises with the person who entered the venue.

A man with sacred ash smeared all over the body and dressed in simple cloth around his waist walked in the hall.

Man 1: Eesaa....

Man 2: Eesaa... nee engu Inge????

Aditha: Arasa Virundhu nadakkiradhu... adhan udhavi seiya vandhen ayya...

Baya padamal enna veanumo kelungal...

Naan podugiren...

Man 1: Unnai paarthadhe kangal niraindhu vittadhu...

Aditha: Undu paarungal... vayirum niraiyum... vaasathirke theru niraindhu vittadhu...

Ministers were not able to guess the identity of the man. People became joyful when they saw him serving them.
