"Enough Kausalya maa... I can't eat more..."
Cried Bharath covering his mouth by his hand.
Kausalya sighed.
"I don't know what can I do with you my Bharath... Alright , I won't feed you more but you have to drink the milk..."
"Milk... Oh my god... Sumitra maa please save me..." Bharath started to run away from Kausalya while Ram caught him.
"Make him drink the milk didi... He always find an excuse to avoid that..." Complained Kaikeyi, who was feeding Shatrughan.
The situation was three Vs one, so Bharath accepted the defeat.
"If my Lakshman was here... He would have helped me to escape from you all..." Said Bharath with a cute pout.
The two mothers laughed on his statement.
"But where is he? I didn't see him since the morning..." Kaikeyi asked to Ram.
"I don't know maa... " Replied Ram glaring at his plate.
"What?" exclaimed Kausalya. It was the first time Ram saying that he don't know where his Lakshman is.
"I slept with Bharath and Shatrughan yesterday..."
Kaikeyi began to ask him something but she was cut by Sumitra's loud shout.
"If you repeat this once again, I swear, no one can save you from the punishments..."
Sumitra entered with a screaming Lakshman... She was twisting his ears.
Kaikeyi ran towards them and picked him up while Kausalya scolded Sumitra for hurting her baby.
"Didi... Before scolding me please ask the reason..."
Kaikeyi kissed the sobbing Lakshman.
"What did you do my Laksh that your mother got mad like this...!"
"Nothing Kaikeyi maa... nothing..." Replied Lakshman in an innocent tone.
"Perfectly right... He did nothing from the morning itself... When I went to their room he was sleeping on the bed... No morning prayers, no suryanamaskar... If I didn't notice he would sleep till the evening. How can you be this much lazy and irresponsible Lakshman?"
"I am not lazy... But I was sleepy..."
Kausalya glared at him but Kaikeyi could not control her giggles.
"Oh my naughty little prince..." She kissed him again and started to feed him but Lakshman denied.
"Kaikeyi maa... Do you know... It is not my fault... Actually all this happened because of Ram bhaiya..." Said Lakshman and gave a mischievous grin to Ram while the latter glared him with shock.
