கவிதை!

As 'I' like It

It was that crucial second.

Dhumakedhu was twinkling the brightest.

Nandhinini was holding that huge sword in her slender hands. In that dimly lit, palatial room, Karikalan was standing like a beast, laughing out his emotions. He was so happy that he was about to die - A full stop to all his sufferings and pains. He knew that only in the death he could really find solace and happiness.

Though Vandhiyathevan, who was hiding in the attic, sincerely tried to stay awake, he could not help himself from falling into deep sleep. As a thing of happening Nithradevi had conquered him completely long back and the valorous ‘Kavasam’ of Aadhithya was fast asleep!

Periya Pazhuvetarayar was slowing climbing down the attic and was about to enter into Nandhini’s room.

Nandhini was trembling. Neither her hands had the power to purge Aadhithya; Nor did her mind had the will to forgive him. She was literally trembling: Swaying between extremities; Oscillating like an astable multivibrator :p
Aadhitya would have been a feast to that beastly sword if only Vandhiyathevan had not bothered himself to wake up. He, out of his sleepy sincerity, woke up suddenly knocking off Pazhuvatarayar and making a great pandemonium in that extremely small Attic.
The antics were broken; All the wall hangings collapsed; The decorative bouquets jammed; If you call it a total chaos it is not a misnomer.

By this time, Puck as per the words of Oberon had collected the magical flower. On his way back to Athens, the festive mood of Uraiyur captured the attention of Puck. His inquisitive Calvin-istic attitude made him to probe into the happenings of the palace.
He was wandering in the verandah, wondering the Indian artistry, when he heard the loud noise. It made him shudder: If only I am caught among these Cholaz! Oops God save this Lil Puck!!!
Scarred Puck, tried to hide himself from being seen and he entered into the room of Nandhini.

In the mean while, Pazhuvetarayar, who seldom expected Vandhiyathvan, out of surprise and mainly because of space constraint stepped out of the attic, only to land between Nandhini and Karikala. Nandhini, though was a symbol of boldness, could not control her anxiety at the unexpected entry of her husband. She screeched and fainted in the hands of Pazhuvetaraiyar.

In the mean while, Manimegalai could not sleep as her own future was at a big stake. She was in utter confusion and she was chumma spending time in the garden when she heard the scream of Nandhini. She rushed into the room at the same time as Puck entered the room. Seeing such an aliened character she as well fainted in the arms of Aadithya.

Puck, who didn’t want to get noticed in that foreign land, perplexed seeing a lot of people at that odd hour. He wondered if it were a plot to get him locked in the notorious prison of the Cholaz. His hands shivered out of fear and he by mistake dropped the bunch of magical flowers on Aadhithya, Nandhini, and Manimegalai. Aadhithya immediately fell in love with Megalai.
And the women, when they woke up, saw Pazhuvetaraiyar and Aadhithya respectively and, as expected out of the magical power of the flower, they fell in love with them.

At that moment, everybody was dumb stuck and they had no words to speak. Pazhuvetarayar could feel the real affection that Nandhini showered on him. All his aversion for Nandhini disappeared in thin air. Aadhithya’s hatred of Nandhini transformed into the perennial stream of love on Megalai.

Dhumakedhu disappeared off the sky in a few moments.

On the full moon day of the month of Chitirai, Vandiyathevan married Kundavai. Arunmozhi got wed locked with timid Vanathi, who fainted as usual in the marriage hall, out of anxiety. Aadhithya and Megalai held hands. The happy couples were blessed by the Sundara Chozhar, Sembian Maadevi, Aniruthar, Vaishnavar, Pazhuvetaraiyargal, Nandhini and by the everyone in the Kingdom. The whole country celebrated the ceremony in a grandiose fashion.

Punguzhali sailed away to Srilanka and Amudhan tripped to Lanka in search of her. Verses of Thiruvasagam was echoing on the stretch of the sea.

Puck left Uraiyur smiling as his ‘Naradhar Velai’ has yet again produced happy ending.

Chola Kingdom flourished as never before and all lived happily ever after.

All is well that ends well :)
