Lakshmana's POV,

I was having a good sleep when I heard someone walk up to me. I thought who it was but before I could do something for my defense the unknown person had sat next to my sleeping figure.

I instantly recognized the 'unknown' person. Do you ask how? The answer is scent, the scent of the person, brother Rama!

He soothed my hairs and patted my head. I opened my eyes and turned towards my brother.

He was startled when he saw me awake and backed off a bit. I got up and sat on the bed facing him and his sheepish smile. "Came to check if I am wounded or not eh?" I asked.

Brother nodded sheepishly and said, "Let me examine you a bit." scanning my body.

"Brother, I am not hurt. I just held him and pulled him to the Nagaaranya and left him there for the snakes. He didn't even try hard to protest back. My work was done easily!"

He hummed and asked, "Btw, why did you kill him?" I was numb with his question and tried to lie but he stopped me in mid way.

"Don't even try to lie. I am your brother. You can't lie to me. So don't be a failure by trying to lie to me!"

I sighed and said the truth. "Ummm... But my question is still not answered Lakshmana!"

"Uff.. She is now a part of our family as she is sister-in-law's sister. It would be wrong on my part if I see she suffering and stay quite."

"But Urmila told me that you gave another reason which resulted in your new name Narcissist?" he asked acting all innocent.

"She will fly in the air if I tell something like that. And brother, she's not even sorry for teasing me. She-"

"You were the one who ignored her when she came to you to ask for forgiveness. And in that fury, she went into the woods. Now sleep. Tomorrow morning, you are going to her and sorting out the things. Good Night!"

"Good Night brother!" I murmured and slept. Did she really come ask for forgiveness? It was surprising and shocking indeed!

Urmila's POV,

"Suguna, father was saying that there are threats to Mithila from Ravana. You be monitoring the borders from the tallest structure of the palace." I said to my head maid who had become my best friend and spy.

"Kumari, you are talking about Ravana, the King of Demons. The Rakshasa's are known for their black magic. It's the same even if we keep an eye or leave it. But don't worry, I will see to it and inform you even if I have a slightest doubt." she answered.

"You too have a point Suguna. Let's distribute the timings. 5 hours once, we will change. First you be there, then I will replace you, then Mandavi will replace me. Or wait! We will order Mandavi to keep a gaurd for 24 hours straight. The demons of Ravana will surely obey their Queen!"

"The Queen of the demons is Queen Mandodari not Kumari Mandavi!" exclaimed Suguna.

"Yes that's because her husband is the King. But, there's a power above Ravana too! And that is my dearest demoness. Mandavi is the Queen of the Queen of Demons!"

"Kumari Mandavi is not here. What if she gets to know your dialogues? You are gone for sure!" chuckled Suguna.

"Talk something good Suguna! You don't go and tell her what we spoke here. Just be quite. And-" I was saying when something blocked our way.

And that something was an animal. Frog! Don't get confused... It's brother-in-law's brother! Sumitra Nandan, Lakshmana!

"Can we speak?" he asked politely. Politely? Am I daydreaming? He and politeness don't go along!

"Hmm.  Yes for sure." I gestured Suguna to go to the palace and looked at him glaring.

"Brother Rama said that you had come to ask for forgiveness and I am sorry, I ignored you!"

"What else will you do? Spark a fire in me and then ignore. And then ACT like a narcissist." I said still glaring.

"Okay, it's all my fault. Sorry! Happy now? Now say what you were going to say yesterday."

He apologized! Wow. That's great! Congratulations Urmila!

"Now I am ready to make a deal with you and I know you will agree it. I am not accepting a no now because I have already changed my mind and I can't keep it changing like you!" I said in a go and he had no option rather to nod.

"So, from today onwards, I will be addressing your brother as brother-in-law and not as brother. I have observed that you are very close and attached to your brother how I am to sister Sita. When you are not calling my sister as your sister, it's not right on my part to call your brother as my brother. In future, if you call my sister as your sister, then brother-in-law Rama will be my brother from the very next moment." I said.

I have observed the same relationship in brother-in-law Rama and Saumitra, how me and sister Sita are. And I knew how it felt when 'someone else' called sister Siya as theirs. So, I successfully changed my mind.

"I am glad you understood my situation. Thank you for that. And also, thank you for letting me know that you too have something called brain and fortunately, a working brain!"

My eyes widened and my mouth shaped a perfect 'O'. "Prince!" I screamed in anger and chased him but he had ran far.

I sighed furiously and walked to the peace giving place. Not the forest this time. The river near the Gauri temple.
