LakshMila- Their Story! [✓]

• TEASING GONE TOO FAR {✓}

It had been a few days after the swayamvar. Dasharatha had heartily accepted the proposal of Ram and Sita's wedding. The wedding dates would be decided after a few days when Dasharatha along with his family arrives.

All these days went by Urmila and Rama teaming up and teasing Lakshmana. And as always, Lakshmana used to tease Urmila for her nose and speak to his sister-in-law who would always support him.

Urmila enjoyed teasing him. His thoughts always brought a red tinge to her chubby cheeks. But she always used to ignore it and her feelings. "A mere attraction maybe.." she used to think.

Another day like this. Rama and Lakshmana had come to the palace as ordered by Janaka. Rama and Urmila were sitting under the tree while Sita, Mandavi and Shrutakirthi had been to the temple.

"Brother-in-law! Let's tease him na!" Urmila said pointing towards Lakshmana where he was practicing sword fighting. Rama's eyes twinkled with mischief as he nodded. They went towards where Lakshmana was practicing.

"Urmila, my dear sister! I just wish I had a sister like you, cute bubbly and not getting angered on small things" Rama teased, Lakshmana who was practicing, heard this but decided to ignore it.

"Ohh brother! I don't know how you handle him! He's so rude!" Urmila said pouting.

"And after all your my sister! Calm like me!" Rama said. This hurt Lakshmana more than anything, after coming to Mithila his brother Rama had  changed, he always sided with Urmila now and always teased and taunted him, though it was in a playful manner it did hurt Lakshmana sometimes but he always covered his emotions.

"He's a very rude person sometimes" Rama said, this line hurt Rama as well.

"And you my brother! Not his brother" Urmila said hugging Rama.

"Brother Rama, very mean." Lakshmana whispered to himself as he let his thoughts flow from his mouth.

"Very mean, brother." Lakshman said with a tint of hurt in his eyes.

"You are meaner!!" Urmila argued.

"And he is my brother! Not yours!" She said. Lakshmana looked at Rama hoping he would say that he's both Urmila and Lakshmana's bhaiyya.

But he too did something weird. "Yes! I am her brother!" Rama said.

"Wow, okay" Lakshmana said shrugging, he turned around tears glistening in his eyes as he left towards the forest.

"Was he hurt?" Rama asked now actually tensed about his brother.

"I don't know brother." Urmila answered.

"We will see. Let's wait till the evening." Rama said as Urmila nodded.

Evening,

The sun set but Lakshmana did not come back to the palace. "I'll go and check! Maybe we stretched the teasing game a bit too far." Without waiting for a reply Rama went towards the forest.

Forest,

Lakshmana was sitting on a boulder staring into unknown, he was upset very upset. He felt he was wrong for his brother Rama. He used to get angry on small things, a small tear escaped his eyes and suddenly a hand brushed on his cheek.

He looked up to see, it was his brother Rama. He wanted to hug his brother, but Rama's words echoed in his mind.

"Yes, prince?" Lakshmana asked. Rama was confused by this, why was his Lakshmana calling him 'prince'?
