'Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.'

As they reached the shores of the island, it really seemed empty.

Sangamathira: Indha theevin peyar enna, Ilavarase?

Aditha: Thiruneersolai

Sangamithra then realised that this was the Niru island of her times.

Sangamithra: Edharku indha peyar ilavarase?

Aditha: Munnoru kaalatthil Zila perundheevu ondraaga irundha podhu therkil indha theevu irukka anaitthu nadhigalum indha theevin thalaiyil vandhu kalakka neer vandhu aaduvadhu pol thondrumam. Andha neer thiruneerai pola venmaiyaai irukkumaam. Adhanaal thiruneer vandhu aadum solai endrum, Thiru Neer aadum Solai endru iru porulum maruvi Thiruneersolai endru aanadhu.

Sangamithra had her mouth wide open. This was something she wasn't previously aware of. When Aditha noticed her wide mouth, he leaned near her ear and said.

Aditha: Vaaiyai moodu kanne. Sevidhazhgalai kaatti manadhai kalaiyaadhe.

She felt that he was truly shameless and poked his chest with her finger. They kept their hands to themselves when they noticed everyone joining them.

Subodhar: Makkal indha theevil engirukirargal ilavarase?

Veera: Neeyum indha theevirku vandhadhu illaiyo?

Subodhar: Kappalil itthanai neram naan pesiyadhai nee ketkavillaiyo?

Veera: Nee engu ennidam pesinaai? Adho andha kulla Seviliyidam dhaane pesinaai.

Subodhar: Muthu Veera Perumaanukku en vaartthaigal eppadi ketkum? Avar sindhai dhaan irandam ilavarasarin aranmanaiyil irukkiradhe.

Sangamithra and Sevili were shocked to know that Veera liked someone from second prince's pavilion. However, they had a person in mind when that pavilion was mentioned. It was Malarvizhi.

Aditha didn't react anything and answered Subodhar.

Aditha: Indha theevu eppozhudhum mazhai vellam puyal endru baadhikka paduvadhaal matroru kodiyil ulla graamatthil dhaan makkal vaazhgindranar. Angu sendraalum nammai avargal yettru kolvadhu kadinam dhaan.

Aanal varundha veandom. Manadhil nanmaiyai kondu enna seidhaalum nanmaiye nadakkum.

They all were dressed in humble clothes and they even brought bull carts on their ship. Aditha drove one bull cart and Veera drove the other with Sevili and Subodhar as passengers.

Sangamithra: Mama, enaku oru aiyyam.

Aditha: Kel en kanne.

Sangamithra: Eesan vedam tharikaamal indha vedam edharku?

Aditha: Naan Eesan vedam edharku tharikkiren?

She thought for a moment and then shook her head.

Aditha: Andha vedam naan aniyum bodhu edhiril iruppavargal ennai ilavarasanaaga kaanamal avargalil oruvanaaga kaana veandum endru. aanal immurai avargal ennai ilavarasan endru arivadhe sari. Adharkaaga than endha vedamumindri vandhirukkirom.

He smiled and she didn't think much about the answer. However, he hid the actual reason for revealing his identity. He wanted to stall for time as much as possible before revealing the actual reason for Rajendra to suggest this place in particular than the warring borders.

Sangamithra kept staring on how he drove and handled the bull.

Sangamithra: Thaangal edhu seidhaalum azhagu dhaan. Maattu vandiyai itthanai nertthiyaaga ottugirir. Innum car ottinaal eppadi irukkumo?

Aditha: Appadi endraal?

Sangamithra: Adhu... Adhu... Engal desatthil oru vaaganam.

Aditha: Oh..

She didn't know then that she would have to wait a lifetime to see him driving a car.

Sangamithra: Indha theevu itthanai vellam puyal kaana kaaranam enna ilavarase?

She tried to change the direction of their conversation. He smiled and understood that she was changing the topic. Still he obliged to her wish and answered her question.

Aditha: Paruva nilai maattrangal dhaan kaaranam kanne. Neer aaduvadhu pola irundha solai. Ippodhu neer koothaadum nilaiyil irukkiradhu. Indha nilaiyai sari seiyya mele paayum aarugalukku idayil anaigal katti paadhaigal maattra pada veandum. Adharkum Zilam ottrumai kaana veandum. Appadi kattinaalum adhuvum oru munnooru naanooru aandugale thaangum. Nam desatthin mazhai mattrum neer valam appadi.

She was truly amazed with his knowledge. In her reality, this island was almost destroyed and no one lived there as those dams were not built in Aditha's period and he was killed early. Those who followed him didn't bother about the country and L later colonised the country and demonized the nation. She really got scared when she thought about it. She would not allow Aditha to die in this reality. She thought to herself. There should be a reason for her rebirth. She didn't know that Aditha was there in Niru with the exact reason to get himself killed in this small island.

They reached a river bank after some one and a half hours travel. The people of Niru lived at the other end of the bank. Aditha asked them to build their tents on this side of the river. Both Subodhar and Veera were confused by his request. If they were going to help the people, why did they stop instead of crossing the river? However, before asking him, they started setting up the tents as per his command. Sangamithra and Sevili sat in the bull carts until they built.

Once they finished the set-up, Subodhar and Veera walked towards Aditha, who was watching the flowing river and the land people lived on the other end.

Subodhar: Ilavarase, en thalaiyai oru kelvi vandhadhil irundhu kudaindhu kondu irukkiradhu. Thangalidam ketkalama?

Aditha: Un kelvigalukkaga dhaan kaatthirundhen. Anaithum vilangum Subodhanukku vilangadha ondrum undo?

Subodhar: Irukkiradhe. Yean naam nadhiyai kadakkaamal ingu nindrirukkirom? Adhu mattum illamal Sanna desatthin indha paadhukaappatra pradesatthai vellava thangalai anuppiyirukkirar arasar? Idhil veru yedho kaaranam irukkiradhu.

Aditha smiled and said: Idhanal dhaan nee en Alosagan.

He then looked around to see if Sangamithra was somewhere around.

Aditha: Arasar ennai Sanna desatthin pradesatthai vendru vara thaan anuppinaar. Aanal Rajendran indha theevil en uyir poga ennai anuppinaan.

Veera removed the sword from his belt and looked around. Aditha smiled and continued.

Aditha: En saavu veerargalaal vara povadhillai. Idho odugiraale... indha aatrinaal vara pogiradhu.

They were shook.

Subodhar: Vilakkamaaga koorungal ilavarase.

Aditha: Indha theevil makkal yean nadhiku andha pagudhiyil vaazhgiraargal theriyuma?

Mazhai vellam vandhaal adhuve paadhugaappana pagudhi. Vilangugalidam irundhum paadhukaappu. Aanal avargal angeye meen piditthu undu appadiye vaazhgiraargal. Ingu irukkum valangalai payanpadutthi kollammal. Ippadiye sendraal sila aandugalil indha makkal azhindhu povaargal. Sanna desatthil kudi yeravum ivargalukku anumadhi illai. Appadi irundhum indha pakkam varamal iruppadhu yean endru sindhitthaiya?

Subodhar shook his head.

Aditha: Adharku kaaranam indha nadhi. Idhu kadapporai vizhungi vidumaam. Idharku mel paalamum katta mudiyadhu. Palar maandum poyirukindranar. Indha nadhi devadhai immakkal thannai vazhipada marandha kobatthaal ippadi nadandhu kolgiraal endru nambugiraargal.

Subodhar: Idhai sari seiyya vazhi illaiya?

Aditha: Avargal arindha vazhi ondru dhaan. Adhai seiyya thaan yaarum thuniya marukkindranar.

Veera: Adhu enna dhaan vazhi?

Aditha: Ilavarasan Oruvan indha aatril uyirai vida veandum. Adhuve vazhi.

Veera: Ilavarase, enna vilaiyaattu? Thaangal idhai seiya thuniyaadheer. Naadu enna aagum? Devi enna aavaar?

Aditha didn't answer and Subodhar stayed calm for a very long time.

Subodhar: Avar thunindhirukkaa vittaal indha theevirku vandhirukka matter.

Aditha smiled and handed him the piece of paper which he received in Zilam regarding this island.

Veera: Thangal uyir ponaal indha saabam theerndhu viduma? Idhu enna vindhai ilavarase?

Aditha: Eesan irukkirana?

Veera: Aam.

Aditha: Avan nammudaiya deivam. Nam nambikkai. Ivargalukku indha aare deivam. Adhu avargalin nambikkai.

Subodhar: Thaangal enna samaadhaanam sonnaalum naangal anumadhiyom ilavarase.

Veera: Aam ilavarase. Thangalin uyir engalukku mukkiyam. Perum Zilatthirkaaga indha siru theevai thyaagam seiyalam.

Aditha: En oru uyirukkaga ingu vaazhum pala uyiragalai bali ida solgiraaiya?

Veera: Thangal uyirin madhippu adhigam ilavarase.

Aditha: Aandavan keezh padaikkappatta anaivarum ore uyire.

They stopped talking when they noticed Sangamithra and Sevili walking towards them. Once they reached, Veera and Subodhar took Sevili with them to get wood for fire leaving the princess to their prince to have him inform her of the situation in hand. He took her to the tent and sat her down near him. She leaned as her hair cascaded on his chest. He was smelling her hair as it was scent of the flowers she had worn the previous day.

Aditha: Kanne... Nee nettru anindha pavazha malli indrum manakkiradhu.

Sangamithra: Aahaa. Ilavarasar pookkalai patri pesugiraar endraal ennidam ennavo kaariyatthai saadhitthu kola vizhaigiraar endru porul.

He smiled and touched her face as he stared into her eyes.

Aditha: Naan illaavittaal en seivaai kanne?

Sangamithra quickly sat up and looked at his face.

Sangamithra: Verum vaarthaigalukagavum appadi sollaadhirgal. Thaangal illadha ulagam naragam. Ennai naan maaithu kolven.

Aditha held her hands and tried to calm her down.

Aditha: Kanne, ennai paar. Enaku ondrum aagi vidavillai. ippadi ondru nadandhaal enna seivaai endru dhaan ketten.

She settled after a moment.

Aditha: Naam indha theevu vandhiruppadhu en uyir paritchaikaaga dhaan kanne.

She was confused and then he explained her everything.

Sangamithra: Thangal uyir pogaamal indha saabam theera vazhi illaiya ilavarase?

Aditha: Naan andha aatril iranga veandum enbadhu en Vidhi. Pizhaippadhum aattrodu povadhum andha iraivan kayil irukkiradhu kanne.

Sangamithra had eyes full of tears. She didn't know what to do then. She was clearly aware that he wasn't going to stop himself from jumping into the river. She then thought about the future. What would be the right course of action at this point? What if she stopped him and that led him to lose the kingdom and eventually die? Because she knew for sure that this island was the key for his future endeavors. But she wasn't able to remember why this island became the key?

At that point, they heard some voices outside of their tent. As they came out, they noticed the people of Thiruneersolai on knees in front of them. They must have travelled by the ocean, Aditha thought.
