Ramayan: Untold Romance

24. The Proposal part- 3

Sita shifted uncomfortably as she realized that her blouse was now completely wet with tears that flow out of her Anuja's eyes. Urmila was clinging to Sita so hard that her very sharp and long nails left red marks all over her arms. But Sita didn't mind, she continued patting Urmila's hair and whispering some 'it's alright' every now and then. Meanwhile Ram was busy chasing Lakshman who in return threw random things like silk pouches and baskets at Ram. But Ram was in no mood for a fun cat and mouse he was angry and totally done with lakshmila and their bullshit. 'LAKSHMAN!' he roared loud enough to bring everyone to the scene. 'Don't you feel even a bit ashamed of yourself. Come back here. Right. Now.' Ram was almost shaking with anger as he pointed a finger towards Laksh gesturing him to stand infront of Ram. Lakshman quickly muttered some pre apologises to him and stood with his head bowed, staring at the ground. 

It didn't take much effort or time for the newly gathered audience to comprehend what was going on. It was quite simple, Laksh and Urmi were doing Laksh and Urmi stuff and now Urmi is crying and Ram is angry and Lakshman is in trouble. Shatrughan and Shrutkirti exchanged glances knowing what Laksh and Urmi stuff was happening. 'What could have gone wrong?' Shrutkirti made sure that her voice was only audible to her better half. 'Did you mean: what couldn't have gone wrong? Because let me tell you, Kirti everything goes wrong with Laksh Bhaiya. In contrast to his name, he is extremely unlucky.' Shatrughan sighed deeply looking at the mess he was partly responsible for. 'I meant to ask, do you think Laksh Bhaiya somehow offended Urmi di because otherwise she wouldn't ball her eyes out like this..must be something serious.' Shrutkirti put her hand on her chin trying to stroke it and look wise. Shatrughan just shook his head in disbelief. 'I really hope Laksh Bhaiya didn't play another prank on her.' Just as the words escaped his lips, Shatrughan realized that there was a much greater of a possibility of that happening. 'This dump bitch! I swear he can't even do one thing right.'

While Shrutkirti and Shatrughan had silent conversation, Mandavi decided to voice her opinion out loud. 'Oh what did Saumitra do now in order to make my sister cry.' Ram placed his hands on his hips and glared at Lakshman 'That is what I have been asking but Saumitra seems to have taken a maun vrat.' Lakshman just continued staring at the ground not knowing what to say. Ram opened his mouth again to demand an answer but Sita spoke before he could. 'Will you both stop blaming him without any reason? What proof you both have that you so confidently are accusing him, huh?' Mandavi just snorted clearly showing her displeasure. Sita was taking his side..AGAIN..like seriously. Her displeasure decreased a bit knowing Bharat was with her this time. 'Laksh, why do you need to do all huh? Can't you behave like a decent human being.' Shatrughan, for the first time, decided to speak up against Bharat for Lakshman. Weirdness at its finest. 'Bhaiya you don't even know what happened. I am pretty sure it's not Laksh's fault.' And Shatrughan wasn't wrong, falling in love is no one's fault. 'Its better if you keep your mouth shut. After all you are his partner in crime. I really hope you weren't a part of all this.' Ram's rage and his pitch was raising each second, so much that he no longer talked he shouted. Well technically, Shatrughan did have a hand in all this but before he could admit that Shrutkirti spoke up. 'He isn't favouring Laksh Bhaiya, he is just being rational. It's really stupid for us to jump to conclusion when we haven't even heard a bit of the story. I say let Laksh Bhaiya speak, without getting yelled at by Ram Bhaiya, then we can decide who is at fault and who is not.'

The group got divided further into Team Urmi, lead by Ram who claimed to have atleast three relations with her and Team Laksh, lead by apne devar ki maa saman Sita. Laksh and Urmi happened to bethe most silent members of their teams. While they continued to argue for who did what, Urmi sobbed more in Sita's shoulder and Laksh muttered a thank you to God... atleast someone was on his side. But very soon they realized that Ram and Sita were incapable of fighting with each other for too long. 'There is no point for us to argue on their behalf. And their is no point arguing at all, if we don't know what happened.' Ram looked at Sita with a look of 'sorry love' and she looked back at him with the same expression. 'I suggest you take Urmi inside and try and get the truth out of her mouth. Meanwhile Laksh and I need to have a talk.'
