The next morning, when Kayanangai opened her eyes, Aathiyan was nowhere to be found. She tied up her hair and looked at the morning sun with a smile. She got up and saw Arulvarman was asleep. It's a surprise that he didn't wake up in the middle of the night and she couldn't understand how she slept even after the sun was up. She took him in her arms and nursed him while thinking about what happened yesterday. It's so new that Aathiyan left in the morning, without saying a word. She remembered about yesterday and how she felt unsure about him. But then she convinced herself that it was Aathiyan to feel better.
Kayanangai waited for him, minutes passed and an hour passed but there's no sign of him. She bathed, had her breakfast and the guards have told her that they haven't seen Aathiyan since morning.
40(3)It was a cold night after the wedding. After sending off the bride and groom to their home. Kayanangai and Aathiyan returned to their place. It was a great day. Kayanangai almost forgot everything when she was surrounded by so many people. But after coming back to their chamber, her anxiety knocked her down. Carrying this much sadness and yet acting like she was alright is troubling her. She couldn't take this anymore and wanted an end to this.Aathiyan went to sleep before Kayanangai, and she sat beside him looking at the dark skies for some time. Her mind is only thinking about how she could find that witch. It must be that witch because she knows there's no one capable of such an act.She laid beside Aathiyan and watched him sleep peacefully. Her heart desires only one thing, which
The soft melancholic violin music filled in all the corners of that empty hall. The soulful music could lure anyone to stay and listen to the feelings blended in that.Rathi's graceful hand playing the chords flawlessly. Her slender fingers danced on the strings and she had a small smile on the corner of her luscious lips while hearing the music. Her attention on the tune doesn't let her big eyes to be open, it's shut to dwell in her music world. Her perfectly trimmed-thick eyebrows raise and fall according to the ups and downs in the music.Her messy hair fell on her face, shoulders, and till her torso but that doesn't show her less attractive. Her ivory skin glowed in the dimmed lights that hanging on top of her head. The brown maxi dress that she wearing is perfect for her lean figure.
After a breathless run to save herself, she tripped on the muddy ground before falling from the cliff. Rathi abruptly opened her eyes yet again failed to escape from a touch that following her closely, like it just an inches away. Her body shuddered to feel that fear and she gripped the sheets to make sure that she is in her bed.It's not the first time she's having this kind of a dream or maybe we can call it a nightmare. Rathi doesn't know what these visuals trying to convey. Is it going to happen or is it telling she is shadowed by something that's going to harm her?She switched on the lights and saw the time is three at midnight. Scratching her head, she stared at the empty water bottle. She needs hot water badly but she is confused about goin
She played the violin sitting on the chaise beside a window, the music floated slowly to every part of the house. Rathi is having an incredible talent in this, she's just learning it for two years but she has improved to create her own notes which is kind of surprising to herself. She is no equal to a beginner, and no one could call her like that. Rathi considers this is God's gift and doesn't want to waste it in these four walls.Her melody stirred up the house's lively mood and with the sound of rain in the background-- it's something heavenly. Not only she could play the violin well, but she also has a beautiful voice like a hummingbird. She sings occasionally while taking bath and traveling in the car. Shankari gave her an iPod containing thousands of songs which she listens to it whenever she feels boring. In that Rathi sounds like the extract version of a few songs that nobody hear
Rathi came back to her room, leaving him alone. There are questions clouding up in her head. Exactly who he is and how could he knew everything about me even my secrets, Did Shankari told about me to him? She thought, stumbling on her bed.But why did he buy these gifts? What he's going to get doing these things to me?I did a mistake; I shouldn't leave the conversation in the middle. I need to talk to him and he knows my plans, that's very dangerous for me, Rathi shrieked in fear.She got up and saw Aadhi going downstairs. So she followed him."You want to talk to me?" he asked sliding his hand his pocket while walking before her."Yes," she replied gawking at his back. His gestures
Rathi's eyelids disturbed when something kept dripping on her forehead, she opened her eyes and touched the thick fluid in her trembling fingers, it was dark red in color. The place is dead silence and her breathing became rapid when she found herself covered in that thick fluid which is none other than blood. The dark place is soaking in the cold blood. Her eyes shot open in terror to see from where it's coming, the blood is gliding from the insides of her thighs.She felt afraid yet she touched her sex and took her hand only to be soaked completely in the blood, her blood. She couldn't breathe and her wide eyes welled with tears. The more she feared, the more the blood came out from her groin."No!" she left out a scream and gasped for air but felt like someone strangling her throat. She closed her eyes when she felt nothing to do any
Rathi was packing her things along with Shankari. She is allowed to take only minimal clothes, and books that could fit in her two suitcases. And more importantly, she packed her violin and other external things to write down the new songs.She isn't fully okay about going to his house but there's something that changed her mind completely. She wanted to go there than her ambitions. She couldn't think of anything! Her heart wanted to be in his home. Rathi doesn't realize that she'd been changing."Have you been there, before?" Rathi asked Shankari."Yeah, I was bought up there until your age," she replied."Oh, then you'll have relatives there," Rathi asked."Yes, I have people I kno
"You love me?" Aadhiyan asked hugging her tightly. His hand caressed the back of her neck and his hoarse voice gave chills."Yes, I love you," she nodded her head embracing him.Rathi watched them standing away. She didn't stop that girl who's none other than Rathi instead she felt happy for herself finding someone who could love her truly. In his arms, she seemed to be happy... But Aadhi's face doesn't have that happiness. His face carried that wicked smile and the thing that even more terrified is he got an old knife in his hand."Kill me, Ayya, please," she begged and Rathi doesn't understand what's happening. How can she ask him to kill?Before she could stop anything he stabbed her brutally. Blood oozed out from the deep wound. S

40(1)Life got a little more peaceful after Aarani stopped coming to the palace. Especially for Kayanangai. She felt so free and started to notice the changes that had happened in her life. She believes Aathiyan has ordered her to not come to the palace as he always hated her around here, but she doesn't know the truth that Aathiyan lied to her. Nakan was always there around them and Aathiyan didn't give any orders because he couldn't find him at all.Ever since Kayanangai saw Aarani smiling at her father's funeral she felt something strange and she decided not to keep her beside her after getting this doubt. She can't help but think whether Aarani is that witch. She has no answers and no one is going to tell her the truth unless she finds it on her own.Aathiyan spends more time with her and she's finally com
39(5)The rain is pouring heavily outside, and the loud thunderstorm echoed inside the absolutely quiet palace. Kayanangai returned to the palace, after two days of staying in her father's home. She met Aathiyan only twice in these two days but she understood what a great human he is. For all these days, she had contradicting thoughts about him. She always hangs in the middle and never believes he's totally bad or good. Now she has a perfect picture of him. She's so fortunate to get a man like Aathiyan, he cares about her more than she cares about him and the greatest favor he has done to her put him on the pedestal of her heart. If her father had asked that favor to her, she could have never done that.Aathiyan could have easily refused to release Veera from prison becaus
39(4)Aathiyan expected a message from his Guru but nothing came even after a week. He wondered how long it would take for him to find something. Aathiyan doesn't want to pressure him so he decides to wait until the message comes.Meanwhile, all of Aathiyan's attention was on Nakan; he's around Kayanangai all the time. Even Though he's in the form of a woman, he sees the admiration and lust in her eyes.The way Kayanangai smiles for his jokes and being affectionate on Aarani makes him frustrated but he couldn't do anything.He noticed that it's been so many days since he talked openly with Kayanangai. She doesn't seem to care about him like she used to. There are many times he tried to tell her the things she doesn't know but Nakan said that he'll face some s
39(3)"Mathinila, please listen to what we are saying. You should stay in the palace," Sumitra said."No, I can't. These people and the King punished my husband and I can't live in their pity concern," Mathinila retorted. It's been a week since Veera went to prison and the family is trying to cope up with the sudden changes in the family. Now Sumitra wanted to leave, she couldn't take people's strange gazes and murmurs behind her back. It's making her even more depressed."I have to protect my self-respect; my father has a big house in the town. I can live there peacefully," Mathinila said, walking carrying her daughter and a few things in the basket.Kayanangai was also there but she didn't stop her sister. She thought it would be better if she went to
39(2)"So Veera Pandya asked you to cast a deadly curse on my father? Is that right?" Aathiyan asked Ganthika, in front of the court. "Yes," she nodded. "He asked me to do that. He threatened me when I hesitated," Ganthika answered in her shaky voice. Like she's a victim too."I gave him a vial full of poison and he gave it to his father," she added."No, that's a lie. I never gave him anything to my father. Ask everyone," Veera Pandya begged.But nothing was heard in anyone's ears. Everyone was convinced of Ganthika's testimony. Even Aathiyan thought that's the truth but later he understood they were equally guilty."Now the
39(1)The next day, the people in the palace were talking about this matter but Aathiyan slept well that night. He has let his anger out after a long time and he didn't pay any attention to the consequences."I heard you have put your brother in prison?" Kayanangai asks when the moment he woke up from his sleep. He has heard this from one of her maids. "That happened last night," Aathiyan answered, leaving out a yawn."Why didn't you tell me anything?" she asks. "Because you were asleep when I came back so I thought I should tell you today," Aathiyan said. Kayanangai can't help but frown hearing his lethargic reply.
38(4)Kayanangai saw him and she couldn't help her worries seeing Aathiyan's face. "Is something bothering you?" she asks. Aathiyan turned to her, "No, I am fine," he answered and sat near her."Are you telling me the truth?" Kayanangai asked. "Yes," he smiled and placed his head on her lap."When you are near me, I am fine," he said. She smiled and caressed his hair. "Aarani didn't come to w
