LakshMila- Their Story! [✓]

• IN LOVE? {✓}

Lakshmana's POV,

I just don't understand how this lady behaves. She's a bubbly girl and crazy but understanding and matured at the same time. I loved how she came and made this deal. I agree I am possessive about brother Rama, but nowadays I am feeling a bit protective about her. Obviously, it is Urmila.

I remember how she first went against the demon king Ravana. Many of the kings of the kingdoms surrender to him though they all know that he is unrighteous but they fear him. But she is not like that, she, for the benefit of the kingdom and for her loved ones can sacrifice whatever she has.

Yes, I always tease her as lizard and I enjoy it heartfully when she becomes irritated. Her expressions when she becomes angry is worth a sight. And her cute nose will turn red when she will be angry, Mithila's fire indeed.

"Kumari, King Kushadwaja has been out of kingdom for some state affairs and King Janaka and Queen Sunaina along with King Dasharatha and his three Queens with the groom and bride to sage Durvasa's hermitage." I heard some familiar voice behind me.

"I know Suguna! But her safety is more important. Should we risk her life just because there are no men in the kingdom?" sister Mandavi's voice was heard next.

"Everything okay?" I turned back and asked seeing their worried expressions.

"Lakshmana, can you please do a favour? Please!" sister Mandavi almost begged.

"Please tell. Don't hesitate." I quipped back quickly.

"Urmila's life is in danger!" she exclaimed and I felt as someone just grabbed the piece of land I was standing on.

"Where is she and what happened?" I stammered in fear.

"Some demons were spotted near kumari Urmila. And she's- she's on the banks of the lake near the Gauri temple." Suguna informed.

As soon as I got to know that Urmila was in the area of demons, my heart trembled with fear and without a moment's thought I ran towards the lake praying God about her safety.

Sister Mandavi and Suguna closely followed me and in a minute, we reached there to see her facing the demons single handedly.

"If you use your black magic powers, you think I can't do anything eh?" I heard her scream at the demons. This girl is surely going to do something.

"I came here just to trap you all and obviously with protection." She said and should a plant. "This is a rare plant found in the land of the golden soil that can be used as a protection against your black magic. I have my own agents to bring these for me. And mind it, you will not be able to do anything to Mithila till I am alive."

We called out her name but she didn't turn back. I started to go to her but sister Mandavi stopped me and told me not to reason unknown. "Urmila!" I shouted at the top of my voice.

I could see Suguna and sister Mandavi stare at me. Oh my, I didn't address her princess. Never mind, at least she turned towards us.

"Sumitra Nandan, you be out of this. I will handle these demons." she said glaring at me and the demons. What did I do to deserve this glare?

In a blink of a moment, all the demons surrounded her and left no space for her to escape. Sister Mandavi and Suguna shrieked in fear while my heart shook. I have to save her at any cost. I have to.

I took a divine arrow and closed my eyes in devotion chanting the prayer. I heard sister Mandavi shriek again calling her name. But now my target was set and without a moment thought, I left the arrow from my bow to kill all those demons.

As I looked where my arrow travelled in a minute or two, all the demons had been vanished. Vanished in thin air! All thanks to Ravana's black magic. I looked at Urmila who had her head hung low and her arm was bleeding. Sister Mandavi was faster than me to go to her and check upon her arm. I too followed them slowly, my heart was thumping loudly and my speed had decreased as a result of it.

"How did this happened Urmi?" sister Mandavi asked stammering in fear seeing the red rsuh of blood from her arm. 

"A demon used his sword to kill me. To rescue myself, I ducked down which resulted in this." she said numbly.  

Suguna by that time had brought the ayurvedic paste that required to be applied on her cut. I was silent, I just couldn't tolerate that cut on her arm. 

"Thank you for your help Lakshmana." said sister Mandavi.

"No worries sister. Take care princess Urmila." I wished.

"I know that prince. Anyway thanks for the formality." she replied coldly. 

Sister Mandavi glared at her and murmured a sorry and thank you and left the place. I am not understanding what did I do that she is glaring at me and acting so weirdly and coldly with me? I can't understand this girl how much ever I try to. Complicated, very complicated.

I rested my back at the bedrest. It was evening now and the other family members had come back and showered a series of thank you's at me. Brother Rama and Shatrughna had passed a mischievous smile at me which I acted as if I didn't observe. Let me have a talk with them tomorrow.

I recalled the day that passed, how my heart trembled when I got to know that Urmila was in danger, how I became numb when I saw her arm bleeding and how coldly she behaved with me. What had happened to her? I thought. 

But I am not understanding why her behavior with me is affecting me so much. What's bothering me about her? I am completely not understanding. And that thought is nagging me so much, so so much. God!!

I tried to divert my mind but successfully failed. I raked my hair with my palm thinking about the same. She will not leave me sleep peacefully ever. In a moment, I heard Shatrughna out at the door singing, "Love makes even an intelligent man confused!" in his own tuning. 

"Love? Am- am I- am I in- love?" I whispered to myself.
