After lunch, Aditha took her on a walk. Sevili, Subodhar and Veera followed them in a certain distance.

Sangamithra: Enaku oru kelvi...

Aditha: Innum varavillaiye endru paarthen.

Sangamithra: Padhil koorungal...

Aditha: Neengal kelviyai kelungal..

He said in the same tone as her.

Sangamithra: Ungaluku Ivvalavu Keli pidikum endru enaku therindhu irukkavillai...

Aditha: Therindhu irundhaal???

Sangamithra: Ondrum seidhirukka matten.

Aditha: Hahahaha.. Sari un kelviyai kel...

Sangamithra: Sariyaga eppadi vandhirgal andha nerathil???

Aditha: Arasiyar unnai unavu samaikka sonna udane Umayal enaku sedhi anuppi vittal..

Sangamithra: Ohhh... Nalla velai.. Umayaluku naan parisalika veandum...

Aditha: Enakkillaiya parisu???

Sangamithra: Neengal ennudan oppandhathil irukkirirgal... Ennai kaappen endru vaaku kuduthu irukirirgal. Aanal Umayal Appadi illai... Adhanal dhaan parisu...

Aanal Neengal varamal irundhu irundhal ungal thandhai ennai kadithu mendru thuppi iruppar...

En thalai kooda poirukkum...

Aditha: Naan Vara vittalum unnai nee kaappatri iruppai...

Naan un thunai ku mattume nindren...

Sangamithra: Aamam... Ennai naan kaappatri iruppen.. aanal naan kashta pattu samaitha unavu dhaan veena poirukkum...

Neenga vandhu kaappatri vittirgal...

Aditha: Nam oppandham nammakul... Nee ennai pradhipalikiraai... Unnai naan thorka viduvenayin (if I let you lose, then it's my loss as well) naan thottradhuku samam.

She smiled.

Aditha: Un kannangal sivakkindrana...

She touched her cheeks..

Sangamithra: Neenga summa vilayadringa...

Aditha: hahahaha... amam.. Yean naan andha valaiyalai patri kooramal vitten endru unaku thonavillaiya???

Sangamithra: Naanum dhaan ungalidam adhai thandha podhu enna endru sollamal thandhen.

Aanal naan ariven Neengal adhu enna endru kandupidithu viduveergal endru.

Adhu pola Indru Neengal adhai velipaduthamal iruppadharkum edhavadhu kaaranam irukkum.

Ungal mudhal manaivi andha valayalil kandippaga edhaiyo vaithu dhaan thandhu irukkiral...

Yean endral adhu engalidam irundha podhu Sevili ku adhigamana thalai Vali vandhadhu.

Adhanal dhaan adhai naan mara pettiyil pottu ungalidathil koduthen. Enna endrum kooramal.

Aditha: Enaku thalai Vali varum endru thondra villaiya???

Sangamithra: Andru Neengal neduneram andha pettiyai vaithu irundha podhu Ondrum aagavillaiye... Adhe pola Ennaiyum andha valaiyal edhuvum seiyavillai..

Sevili ku dhaan thalai Vali yerpattadhu...

Adhu engalidam irundhu sendra udan ellam sariyaga ponadhu. Ungalai naan ubayogithadhaga ninaikka Veandom.

He nodded his head with a smile.

Aditha: Sari sol... Ippodhu adhai naan thirandhu paarkava???

Sangamithra: Veandom...

Aditha: Yean???

Sangamithra: Ungaluku edhavadhu aanal???

Aditha: Andru thandhaiye...

Sangamithra: Adhu Appodhu...

Aditha: Ippodhu enna vithyasam???

Sangamithra: Ondrum illai... Neengal adhigam kelvi ketkirirgal...

Aditha: Sari ketkavillai..

Veeranidam thandhu thirakka solgiren.

Sangamithra: Neengal avar thirakkum bodhu dhooramaga nindru kollungal...

Veera who was walking behind them choked.

Veera: valayalil visham irukkalam. Adhu thirandhaal thaakkalam.. Avargal kanavarai thaakka koodadhu... Ennai thaakkinal parava illai...

Ini naan Ponnarasi deviku dhaan Pani seiya pogiren. Ingu en uyir eppodhu veandumaanalum pogum...

Aditha stared at him like he heard his mind.

Veera: Ilavarase... Enna aanadhu???

Aditha: Nam aranmanaiku ponadhum pettiyai thirakka veandum...

Subodhar: Appadiye Ilavarase... Veera thirappan...

Veera: aamam naan dhaane ungalku vaattam... Ennaiye sollungal...

Aditha: Veera oppu kollavillaiye...

Veera: vidurana paaru... Oppu kolgiren Ilavarase.

As they walked, they reached a temple inside the palace...

Aditha: indha aalayathirku Vara thaan unnai Ingu azhaithu vandhen...

Sangamithra: Idhu???

Aditha: En Thaayi vanangiya sivalayam. Avarin ishta deivam.. Enakum Sivan dhaan ishta deivam.

For some reason, Sangamithra's mind imagined him as lord Shiva.

Aditha: Enna aanadhu???

Sangamithra: Ondrum illai.

They went inside the temple. It was simple and clean. They both prayed to the god and then came out.

Sangamithra: Ivvalavu periya sivalingathaiyum nandhiyaiyum naan paarthadhe illai...

Aditha: Enaku oru aasai irukiradhu theriyuma??

Sangamithra: enna???

Aditha: Periya Sivalayam katti adhil periya lingam matrum nandhi vaikka veandum.. Kaalathirkum adhu nilaithu nirkka veandum..

Sangamithra: neengal ninaippathu nadakka veandum Ilavarase... Edhirkaalathil ungalai irandhu poga Vida matten.. en uyir ulla varai ummuyirai kaappen.. adhu indha eesan meedhu aanai.

Aditha: Indru nee niraya thigaithu pogirai... Enna aanadhu??

Sangamithra: Romba sapten le adhan.

Aditha: Meendum vandhu vittaal pazhaiya sangamithra...

Sangamithra: Yean Avalai ungaluku pidikadha???

Aditha: Enaku unnai Ella vidhathilum pidikum.

She didn't find anything romantic in his speech. He might be saying it platonically. Who knows. She didn't understand.

Sangamithra: Naam eppodhu Nam aranmanaiku poga pogirom???

Aditha: Ippodhe... Naam Ingu pesikondirukkum velaiyil... Rukmani thaayar nammaku thevaiyana Anaithum eduthu vaithu kondirukkirar.

Sangamithra: Nammaku tharava???

Aditha: Enna dhaan naan ilavarasan aanalum, avaruku Magan dhaane.. thaai veedu vandhu thirumbuvadhaal niraiya koduthu anuppuvaar...

Sangamithra: Hmmm...

Her face turned sour.

Aditha: Unaku yaarum illai endra kavalai Veandom... Naan irukkiren..

Sangamithra: Nandri Deva... Avar ennaiyum thanmagal pola dhaan paarthu kolgirar.

In Boomadevi's chamber...

Ponnarasi: Edho ondru nadandhu irukiradhu atthai...

Neengal kodutha andha Kringa desathu marundhin mitchathai naan andha valayalil vaithu dhaan thandhen.

Oru murai adhu udalil paravi irundhal thirumba vasanai pattal kooda vasiyamaagi viduvargal endranar...

Aanal avalo andha valayalil thean vaithu irukkiral... Naam kodutha marundhu enna aanadhu???

Boomadevi: Idayil edho nadandhu irukiradhu.

Ponnarasi: Aamam atthai... Edho nadandhu irukkiradhu...

Naan ungalidam idhai ketka veandum ena ninaithen... Neengal yean Avalai kolla veandum ena thudikirirgal???

Boomadevi: Un kanavan Avan thaai irandha pin vaayai thirandhu kettadhu avalai dhaan...

Andru Avalai kaakka kettan.. Indru Avalai virumbugiran...

Avan virumbum edhuvum indha boomiyil nilaikka koodadhu...

Ponnarasi: Ennai virumbinal???

Boomadevi: Unnai kolla matten. Sandhosha paduven... Unnaiyum un thangaiyum (cousin) avanuku naan koduthadhe Avan vaazhvin Sandhosham kooda naan nirnayithadhaga (decided) dhaan irukka veandum endru.

Aval ponaal dhaan unaku angu idam... Adharku dhaan naam Pani seiya veandum...

Ponnarasi: Sendhamarai eh enna seiya pogirirgal???

Boomadevi: Udhavadha kal boomikum baaram saamikum baaram. Kolla veandiyadhu dhaan.

Ponnarasi: Atthai?????

Boomadevi: Enna paasama???

Ninaivil kol... Andhapurathil irukkum ovvoru pennum unaku potti dhaan.

Avargalai nee modhalil thooki veesi erigiraya... Unnai Avargal veesi yerigirargala enbadhu dhaan mukkiyam...

Ponnarasi: Purindhadhu atthai...

Sendhamaraiyai kondral aval thandhai Vara mattara???

Boomadevi: Vandhaal unmaiyai sol... Avan manaivi seidha thavarai maraikka un kanavan avar magalai kondran endru...

Ponnarasi: Idhanal Ilavarasar baadhikka pada mattara???

Boomadevi: Avaludaiya thandhai pengalidam veerathanam kaattubavan... Kandippaga avalai dhaan kuri veippan...

Ponnarasi: Sari atthai...

Boomadevi: Nee purappadu... Ilavarasan maaligaiyil nee iruppadhu avasiyam...

Once she left, Boomadevi thought to herself. Even if Sendhamarai's father killed Aditha, it would be good for her.

Crown prince palace...

Three days later...

Sevili: Devi... Devi....

Sangamithra: Yean Ivvalavu kaalaiyil ennai ezhuppugirai Sevili???

Sevili: Vaasalil Sendhamarai Deviyarin thandhaiyum annanum....

All her sleep went away in a second.

Sangamithra: Ilavarasar enge???

Sevili: Angu dhaan irukkirar...

Sangamithra rose from the bed and ran towards the entrance of the palace.

Sevili: Devi... Ungal selai thalai..... Anaithum kalaindhu irukkiradhu....

She ran behind her to stop before she met the crown prince. However, before she could stop, Sangamithra ran into the prince.

Aditha: Yean ippadi moochu iraikka odi varugiraai???

Sangamithra: moondram Deviyaarin... Thandhai..... Sago... Sagodharan ungalai paarka vandhiruppadhaga sonnargal...

He then looked ahead and they were standing in front of him. Sangamithra adjusted her saree. Sokkan was looking bizarrely angry. It seemed like he was controlling his anger...

Sokkan: Ivvaaru seidhu vittirgale Ilavarase???

Aditha: Sokkan avargale... Naan enna seidhen???

Sokkan: En magalai kondru vittirgale...

Aditha: Ungal magal Arasa siraiyil irukkiral... Naan moondru naatkalaga Ingu irukkindren...

Naan eppadi ungal magalai kondrirukka mudiyum???

There was no change in his expression. Sangamithra understood that he was already aware of Sendhamarai's death.

Who could be the perpetrator???

What were they trying???

This might be the handiwork of the queen.

Sokkan: En magaluku eppadi ellamo sonnen... Neengal avaluku sariyanavar alla... Thaayai izhandhavar eppadi oru pennai nandraga gavanithu kolvar endru??...

Subodhar: Vaarthaiiiii.... Oru vaarthai ini udhirthaalum ungal thalai tharaiyai muthamidum...

Veera had a sword near his neck.

Aditha didn't show any emotions on his face. Sangamithra understood that this guy had more to him than what he showed.

Aditha's eyes stood on Seran who was ogling Sangamithra.

Aditha: Subodha... Sokkan avargalai Arasaridam azhaithu sel. Avar ketkum niyayam angu dhaan kidaikkum...

Sokkan looked at them disgustingly before leaving. Seran stood in the same spot even after his father left. His eyes didn't leave Sangamithra. Aditha stood up from his chair and pulled her by the waist.

She fell tightly on his chest.

Aditha: Ingu nirkka Veandom... Kanda naayigalum unnai kalavaada paarkindrana...

Sangamithra: Endha naay....

Before she could finish, he kissed her on the lips. He didn't place his finger in between their lips. She felt fire crackers around her. Every servant in the hall kept their heads down.

Seran came out of his thoughts and it hurt him to see them kissing. He then saw Aditha lifting her in his arms.

Aditha: Un thandhai vandha vazhi neeyum pogalam... Kann bathiram.. innoru murai indha pakkam Vandhaal kurudan endru per peruvai...

He said to Seran without turning his head.
