FOREVER TALE

TALKINGS

When Vasu & Ram reached the Royal guest house they saw everyone in the living room and Devamma immediately rushed to Ram hugging him "Oh Narayana (lord Vishnu)! Thankyou so much for taking care of my kids" making Vasu smile.

"Devamma! I'm fine relax" Ram pulled back making Devamma hit his shoulder.

"You take after your father. He used to be careless in the battlefield too" Devamma said making Ram clench his jaw and walk in the direction his room.

"Devamma! How many times should we remind you not to talk about his parents" Nandu said making Devamma shake her head sadly and turned to Vasu.

"Are you alright dear? Are you hurt anywhere?" Devamma asked making Vasu shake her head.

"Everyone go and rest! We'll start to Hyderabad after dinner" Raghav announced leaving to Ram's room.

Nandu and Vasu were allotted to the same room. Nandu freshened up and was going through her phone when Vasu came out having bath and changed and started searching for first aid box "Nandu where's the first aid box?"

"In the second drawer. Why? Are you hurt?" Nandu asked getting up from bed.

"No! It's not for me" saying Vasu took the first aid box and walked towards Ram's room. She knocked twice before walking inside only to see Ram walking out of the rest room only in a towel around his waist and turned around "Sorry...sorry...sorry"

"Why are you here?" Ram asked as he wore his sweats.

"I'm here to treat your wounds" Vasu as he put on  a button-up shirt.

"There's no need! I'm used to injuries" His words made her face him to see him buttoning up his shirt.

She rushed to him pushing his hands aside and opened the buttons before parting his shirt making him sit on the bed while she took the antiseptic on the cotton ball and cleaned the wound making him narrow his eyes "What do you think you are doing?"

"I thought you were deaf but you are actually blind" Vasu said making him roll his eyes as she bandaged his shoulder and pushed his shirt in it's place continuing "Don't move your hand a lot just take it easy for atleast two days and Thankyou for saving me" with that she walked towards her room.

At dinner it was a feast since the King's family came to chilukuru after a long time. Everyone was enjoying their meal when Devamma asked "So... Vidya how is your father's health?"

"He's fine my lady!" Vidya replied making Devamma nod.

"Nadiya where are you from?" Devamma asked.

"Guntur my lady! Our family came from Peshawar during the war and settled there" Nadiya said.

"Vasu is it short for Vasundhara?" Devamma asked making her shake head smiling.

"No my lady it's short for Vasudhara" Vasu replied.

Devamma nodded "Oh it means Seeta devi, lord Raama's wife isn't it? What a coincidence" making Vasu smile awkwardly as Ram gave her a cold look.

Devamma cleared her throat avoiding Ram's gaze and continued "Where are you from Vasu? How many members are there in your family? What does your parents do? Do you have any siblings?"

Vasu stopped eating looking down and answered "I..I don't have parents! I'm an orphan. I studied in Aasha foundation upto my highschool and then went to Madras medical school then transfered here for my internship to work under Dr. Daksha" making everyone look at her.

"Be ready by eleven we'll start our journey to Hyderabad" ordering Ram got up and washed his hands before going to his room. The dinner was awkward after the talk and everyone immediately retired to their rooms after completing their dinner.

At eleven everyone was out near the cars. Devamma, Ani, Daksha and Shiva got in one car while the girls and the boys got into innova and drove off onto the highway in the direction of Hyderabad.
