The Emotions of Young Nandhini Devi

[subuthetitan]

Alright, i know this isn’t the kinda post one would expect on my page, but hear me out.

The poster right here is of the Tamil movie that’s releasing tomorrow, “Ponniyin Selvan”. Ponniyin selvan loosely translates to ‘River Cauvery’s son’, and this film is based on the 70 year old, 5 volume novel of Kalki.

Let me explain why this story is so dear to Tamil people, and why Indians should celebrate it just as much as they do the epics such as Ramayana and Mahabharat;

The author of this novel, Ramaswamy Krishnamurthy alias Kalki, was an Indian freedom fighter, who went to jail a few times. This novel, according to him, was a way of reminding Indians that they have a history of their own. Mind you, this is after 200 years of colonialism.

This spectacular novel is based on the Kingdom of the Cholas, and is set in the 9th century which was the peak of the Chola Empire. The story can be classified as a historic fiction, as some of the main characters are fictionalised or even completely made up in order to appease the “outsiders” that is us.

‘Ponniyin selvan’, or the Son of cauvery, is the name given to King Raja Raja Chola I. He has two siblings, Aditya Karikalan, who is the Crown Prince, and his elder sister, Kunthavai (Koon-da-vy) who is the princess of the Chola Empire and basically controlled everything. Their dad, Sundara Chola is the emperor of the Chola Empire but is bed ridden during the time of the story. All the characters I mentioned till now are real people, who have been mentioned in carvings and historic artifacts preserved till this day, but the characters I’m about to write about next are fictionalised characters by Kalki. One might think, since the title of the novel is “Ponniyin Selvan”, it only makes sense that Raja Raja Chola is the main character, but NOH. The main character, the character who travels and whom we travel with, is Vanthiyathevan (Vun-diya-devan). It is important to know that Vanthiyathevan isn’t entirely fictionalised, he is also mentioned in history, but not till the extent of the description given in the novel. Last but not the Least, my personal favourite, Nandini. She invented the word supervillain. I’m serious, the more you read about her, the more you grow to hate and like her at the same time. She’s such an incredibly written character that at times it’s so unbelievable that she’s not actually real. Her thirst for vengeance and power is what sets the course of this entire story.

Now let me give you a brief intro to this story (and try not to spoil anything eee)

Aditya Karikalan (The Crown Prince) sends his good friend and trusted messenger, Vanthiyathevan, to deliver two letters to two members of his family. His father Sundara Chola, and his sister Kunthavai. He also sends him on a mission, to find out what and who is conspiring against him in his homeland, while he’s fighting wars up north.

This journey of Vanthiyathevan, is met with a lot of hurdles and he also meets a lot of people who help him with his tasks such as his old friend Kandhamara, whom Vanthiyathevan previously fought in a battle with, Nambi, who is a staunch believer of Vaishnavism and an absolute mastermind, often wears metaphorical masks around certain people, Chendan Amudhan, who is…an interesting character (that feeling when u really wanna say something but don’t wanna spoil). What forms the plot of the story is How Vanthiyathevan delivers these messages? What is conspiring against Aditya Karikalan? Who is Nandini, and why does she want revenge?

Ok i know that was a bad summary, but i literally could not say anything without spoiling stuff.

So the main reason why I wanted to post about this was because I feel every Indian should know about the rich history of our country and the Chola Empire, which ruled the entirety of India at one point. So I urge all of you to read some background in wikipedia and watch the movie cuz its a pretty damn good story.

Fin.

Thuyil - Kundavai & Vanthiyadevan Oneshot

As the fingers counted the dates and lips worded out the month, Ilavarasi currently standing before a mirror and trying to see if she looks any different.

'Aavani(Tamil month that comes in the middle of English month July to August) 15' A small hopeful smile formed on the lotus shade lips. Kundavai smiled and affectionately caressed her stomach, no one is allowed in as she wanted to confirm herself before she made it official.

As many thoughts ran into her mind as she remembered her wedding night, the night of bliss, the night of union, the night of love and passion.

Three months back

'My Ilavarasiye, why are you playing games with me on our wedding night?' Vandiyadevan smiled cheekily as he walked around the gardens trying to find Kundavai. They are currently in Pazhayarai Palace, and this place holds so many memories for both of them.

Kundavai who is currently behind a tree laughed softly trying not to make much noise and spoke from where she is hiding 'Kamsa Raja ennai sirai pidika porrergala(Has Kamsa Raja going to arrest me?)' She said and fled toward the lake where her boat currently resides. As she went into that and saw Vandiyadevan running towards the tree she was hiding before.

'Athan intha Kamsan anre Uyirai samarpithuvitan than Ilavarasikaga. Nyabagam illaya (This Kamsan already pledged his life to his princess! Don't you remember?)' Vandiyadevan asked and saw a large boat in the lake, and he smiles and went to get into that.

And just like the first time, he saw he standing at the edge where the moon shines straight above her making her look like Indira lokha Mangai or even more beautiful than anyone ever could describe.

'En Ilavarasiye' Vandiyadevan and went near her.

'Adada what a surprise!  Arakan has transformed into my husband' Kundavai said and laughed. Both their laughter filled the place and the fireflies fly around them creating magic in the air. As they both moved closer to each other until they were able to feel their breath hitting each other's face.

'Are we going to play hide and seek from now on?' Vandiyadevan asked and he softly moved her small piece of hair behind her ear and caressed her cheeks which are smeared with her blush. Who would know that the ever-intelligent and strong princess could able to be swooned by this Spy who captured her heart?

'Well you have already pledged your life to me and it's my decision whether to play with it or not' Kundavai replied and closed her eyes, she enjoyed his touch as much as he is enjoying being near her.

'Uyir Ungaludayadhu Devi' He replied and captured her lips softly. Both their lips molded perfectly, like a moth attracts to the fire their lips couldn't give a break. As the cold breeze swiped over them their hands found a way to undo the jewels and the clothing came apart. The night ignites their love and passion like a wildfire that doesn't seems to be off and only consumed more and more.

Everyone knows that Vandiyadevan is a skillful warrior and Kundavai now can able to feel it as he worked his hands on her body, she sang melody through the air. Kundavai doesn't know that lovemaking can be this pleasureful act nor she had done this before. She wondered if it was just her husband's way of letting her feel this way. As she reached the peak her cries were muffled by the lips of the warrior, who did wonders for her, he worshipped her body like it was the most purest thing ever. Her hands found their way to his shoulder, as she claws it out to mark the passion wounds.

As both of them lay there with her head against his head and naked as one born day, The moon shines above them indicating the night is still young. As Vandiyadevan softly combed his finger through her silky hair he felt her smile against his chest. Who knew that he would be the one to gaze at the moon with the princes blushing against him?

'Thuyil kol en Kanamma(Sleep my Kanamma)' He said and kissed her forehead, just like he said the fish-like eyes closed to welcome the deep slumber as she embraced his chest and he smiled and gazed at his love with so much emotion.

Current day

A shy smile erupted at the thought of their first night and Kundavai giggled at that. It is weird for her to act all girlish, but her love is making her feel everything all at once. She waited long enough to confirm that she is with the child and finally, it all came together, her periods are late, and for the last two months. But she still has to confirm with Raja Vadhiyar but it's damn sure she is with the child. Before the Vaidyar she wants her husband to know this and tonight it will happen.

As today is Krishna Jayanthi and everyone is currently at Pazahyarai Palace where they would normally listen to songs and drama for the day.

As she got ready and slowly walked out to find her love standing patiently at the door, as soon as he saw her his smile shines through the palace.

'Krishan kathai kekay selvoma?(Shall we leave and listen to Krishna Katha)' He asked and she nodded. The pair went hand in hand and got blessings from her grandmother as they sat next to each other. Kundavai silently prayed as they watched the drama that unfolds before them showcasing Krishna with Yasodha. The smile on Kundavai's face widen as she always loved hearing this story. The love of a mother and even though her child is not out yet she can now feel the bond.

But her smile from her face vanished and fear took over them. She felt a trickle of liquid touching her thighs and an uneasy feeling crept into her stomach. She looked at Vandiyadevan as he is now chatting with Senthan Amuthan.

'Patti please excuse me' She said and hurriedly but yet carefully went to her room without causing much havoc. As Vandiyadevan looked next to him only to find it empty he raised an eyebrow. He excused himself and went to find his ilavarasi.

As Kundavai got to her room and ordered not to allow anyone until she say so to her helpers. She hurriedly went to the back room and touched her inner thighs, and as she took out her hand it is smeared with blood. A gasp left her mouth and a small whimper came next. Just like their mother Ponni Nandhi, her tears are flowing down south with so much pain.

Why this is happening to her? This is supposed to be a happy day and how she planned to disclose this with her love. Their baby, her baby is gone and now this is all she is left with. She used the other hand to close her mouth letting her muffled cries be heard lowly, She doesn't want others to see her like this, no not in this state. This is the day of happiness and she doesn't want others to go through what she is going through. And if the news of her miscarriage went out it would cause many speculations.

As she sat there with her blood flowing down her thighs Vandiyadevan entered and saw the state his love was currently in. Bloody hands and bloody thighs exposed how she is in making him realize the situation. He silently sat next to her and just like always caressed her hair in a way saying that they will be fine, they will go through it. And just like that she cried out a river as she couldn't hold in any longer.

'Shh shh it's ok my Kanamma, I am here, I will be always here' He said and hugged her.

2 years later

'Have you noticed how our Ilavarasi is becoming more beautiful day by day' Said one woman

'Yes I have noticed, but what is the use of beauty if one remains barren' Venba said to another woman.

'What are you talking Madhi? You know if any royals heard you say that, they will have your head' Said Sandhya who is currently collecting flowers for the evening.

'Why would they? I am not saying any false information, I am just pointing out the fact right?' Madhi said and looked at Venba.

'She is our Ilavarai and we should make sure she is happy' Venba said calmly and shook her head at her friend and helping hand.

'But I am worried about our Ilavarasi, As she got married way before her brother and our Ilavarasar Ponniyin Selvar, but she does not yet birthed any children nor impregnated successfully' Madhis words made Venba think, it is true whatever her friend said and Chola Desam is yet to receive jewel from their beloved Ilavarasi.

The people of Chola desam went ecstatic when Ponniyin Selvar announced the new baby Prince who is named Rajendra Cholan born 6 moons before. A healthy baby boy was birthed by Kodambalur Princess Vaanathi. But it only made people question why Ilavarai Kundavai didn't yet get pregnant.

Many accused Ilavarai's marriage to Commander Vallavaran Vanthiyadevan is just for political agenda and the princess is cursed to have children that's why for name sake she married but still resides in Thanjai rather than to take the Magadai kingdom. But many praised the princess for the bold move and thanked that she chose the Chola kingdom always.

As the two women vent out their thoughts it's been heard by the one whose eyes never shed tears for many matters are now filled with salty tears. Ilavarasi of Chola desam Kundhavai Pirattiyar

As she heard those words she felt like a knife piercing through her skin. It is true though that she couldn't able to get pregnant after trying several times. It's like the gods are punishing her for separating Aditha and Nandhini. It's like she is cursed to not have her own children.

As she aimlessly walked she found herself at the doors of her standing there and watching the 6-month-old baby laughing, her Nephew, her brother's son, her best friend's son. A smile erupted at the sight of seeing the baby trying to roll over. As she went near and stood next to Vanathi who smiled at her Akka. But Kundavai could able to feel some eyes on her and that's not exactly a good feeling. Some of Vanathi's mother's side people are here and all she felt while around them is judgemental.

'Akka, why don't you hold your Marumagan, 'cause he never listens to me' Vanathi said and held out the beautiful baby boy to Kundavai who laughed it out and held him as if he is her dear life. The baby's soft skin made her heart flutter, as those big eyes watched her with so much love. As Kundavai pressed a tight kiss on her nephew's cheeks, all her worries disappeared. But a good thing doesn't last forever. She can able to hear the murmuring of the people surrounding them. Before no one dared to talk in front of her but now they got an escape route to make her feel like hell.

'It's not good for the baby' A light voice said and another one said 'What if something happens to the boy, she doesn't even have one' another said. As she heard those words she started to feel that if its true, maybe she is cursed.

'Vanathi, here hold your baby, I have to be somewhere' Kundavai said and fled from the place. But Vanathi knows that's not the truth. As Kundavai dashes out, She even went passed her brother and her husband on the way out and not caring about anything. Arulmozhi nodded his head at Vandiyadevan as he went to console his wife.

In their room, Kundavai stood on her balcony and glanced at the once luxurious green tree now fading and in the process of dying out, the same as the state she is in.

Feather-like hands touched her shoulder and she knew exactly who it is, as her mouth let out an angst cry that she ever did, and as she hugged her husband who is in the same state as she is minus the crying. Both of them prayed to all the gods to let this situation be different, Vandiyadevan wants his wife, his princess to be happy and he is mad at himself for not being able to give her a child.

'Kanamma, My Kanamma. Look at me' He said and her red glassy eyes looked at him with so many emotions. 'I know you are hurting, and I hope we don't have to go through this, but unfortunately, we had to. But remember I am here, treat me as your child to which I always care for you so that you don't have to worry about what others said. My Kanne, you know I can't live to see tears in your eyes. You are strong, intelligent, and more importantly, this Chola desams treasure. Why are you sad about things others are saying Vandiyadevan softly said to her kissing her eyelids as he spoke each word.

Calmness took over Ilayya Piratti who was going to so much in the last three years. First her elder brother's death and then her losing her unborn child along with a couple of miscarriages. Her body and mind couldn't take it.

'Maybe it's because of the sin I have committed. Maybe it's the way of god letting me know that what I did to Nandhini is wrong. And how I punished her for being an orphan is wrong' Her words made Vandiyadevan think about his Ilavarasar who he misses every other day. But to see his wife in his state he couldn't help but make sure that none of them knew what the future held and none of them planned anything.

'You did nothing wrong, you put the Chola Desam people before anything and their safety as your first priority.' He said and wiped her tears.

'Anal nirantha un Nenjai

Un Thuyilal pokuga' He sang those words again and again.

But the privacy is cut short when soft footsteps approach them. As they both looked behind them to see Prince Arunmozhi and Princess Vanathi who is currently standing with tears matching her Akka's eyes. 

'Akka, you have lied to me' Vanathi accused Kundavai to which others looked shocked and clueless.

'I lied to you? What are you talking about Vanathi?' Kundavai asked as she straighten out her posture.

'Yes! you did. You said I am like your sister and best friend and my son is your son. But you are experiencing this pain even without letting me in to able to be with you. Why Akka? Am I a stranger or am I not close to you?' Vanthai's words made others smile sadly and Kundavai smiled at her best friend now sister-in-law with so much love.

'Why you gave back Rajendran to me, while you want to hold him?' Vanathi's question made Kundavai take sharp breaths.

'I am barren Vanathi and I don't want any evil to fall upon my Marumagan' Kundavai told to which Vanathi laughed.

'Akka, Did you remember how back then everyone said I am bad luck and how cursed I am the cause of my life? But did you make me feel that way? Aren't you the one who loved me unconditionally and made sure that your brother marries me? Then how come you are thinking like this?' Vanathi asked as neared Kundavai. Arunmozhi nodded his head at Vandiyadevan and went near to them.

'You are my Akka, and you are the one that guided me to who I am today, If my son got the same thing from you we don't need any other blessing. And if anyone dared to point out or said you are cursed then I think they are too blind to see what a blessing you are to our life' Arunmozhi said and hugged his sister. Vanathi held out the baby to Kundavai who went in to hug him to her chest.

'My sweet Marumagane, I love you so much, don't ever forget that, your Athai loves you' she said and kissed the boy as the baby giggled. That moment is the foundation of the Chola desam's next king who will be raised by his Aunt and would receive all the guidance under her and his family.

Vallavaraiyan Vanthiyadevan had it bad for his best friend. Over the many years of friendship and his feelings came and went like the ebbs and flows of the Ponni river. He knew early on that he admired Adithya Karikalan, the fiercely handsome eldest son and heir to the Chola dynasty. But he was not quite sure when that admiration had morphed into something else. But with eyes that intense and shoulders that broad and strong, I mean what was a man to do? It was a wonder he hadn’t fallen sooner.

or Vanthiyadevan has pretty much resigned himself to being a lovesick flirt for the rest of his life, but when he is sent on a mission to deliver an olai to the king he soon discovers he has a type, and that type is Chola royalty.

Friendly reminder that my ponniyin selvan fic exists and I am writing ch 2 i promise
