Sri Ramarajyam: A far off dream

A/N- Me to Angst- Tune maari entriyar, dil mein bhaji ghantiyar, tan tan tan

*Laughs hard like crazy* I love angst! As much heartbreaking it might be, but its my favorite genre!!

The angst part will start from the next chapter mainly, this one will be a whole lot of foreshadowing. too, too, TOO much of foreshadowing. 

God, I am more excited than my readers for this, but I will stop here, or else you wont get a chapter from me and I would get tamatars from you.

P.S- title kaisa hai?

"Fine, Pitashree, I accept my defeat. I agree to be coronated as the yuvaraj of Kosala. But, can we plan this after Bharat, Maan, Kirti and Shatru return? I mean, I dont want them to miss it, pitashree." Ram said, looking at Dasharatha who had announced his coronation, his Yuvaraj abhishekam out of the blue.

"No, putra. I fear its not possible." Vashishtha said with an invisibly sad smile. He knew what the future held, and had to work on accordingly. Oh, how he wished he could actually postpone the whole program till Bharat and Shatrughan returned with their wives. But he knew he couldnt, and that what was meant to happen, has to happen or else the whole purpose of the Rama avatara of Sri Mahavishnu will be a total failure

"Your Yuvarajabhishekam has to happen tomorrow itself. On Karthika Dasami (Dont ask me Shukla or Bahula)" Vashishtha's heavy voice echoed in the room

***********

"Manu?" Bharat called his wife for the fifth time in a row. She should have responded by now, if she wasnt drowned in the ocean of some serious thoughts

"Hmm, ha, yeah, Bharat?" She stood up, slightly baffled, holding her pallu in her hold. Bharat sighed and held her by her shoulders, making her to gently sit on the bed. He himself settled on the ground, on his knees, taking Mandavi's slender fingers in his Dark hued, ring adorned ones.

"You tell me, Manu, what happened. I've been calling you for over five times now. Whats wrong with you, huh?" He asked gently, staring Mandavi into her eyes. 

"Nothing. I and Shatru are officially going crazy." Mandavi declared irritatedly. This has been going on since morning- Mandavi and Shatrughan would 'sense' something, and go around without having food while Bharat and Shrutakirti would calmly try to explain that there is absolutely nothing to worry about, while not feeling too good themselves

"Mandavi, please. Stop rattling your brain over this- this stuff. We will return back if you both want, right away. I'll go and talk to mamashri" Bharat stood up, annoyed with the behaviour of his Brother and wife while himself a bit nervous regarding it, but Mandavi held his hand before he could leave

"No, Bharat. Let it be, we cant insult Mamashri thus by talking of returning just after 3 days of our arrival. They might feel humiliated. Let it be, I am fine and Shatru will be as well, tomorrow if not today."

Some part of her knew that she would regret her words for the rest of her life.

***********

"STOP IT!" Shrutakirti yelled at the top of her voice, irritated by her husband's weird behaviour

"Dont yell, Shruti." Shatrughan said in a ow voice, moving towards the window to avoid an eye contact with her

"Oh, really? Then what shall I do, Mr. Shatrughan? Should I dance? HUH?" Shrutakirti said with a huff, staring angrily at her husband who was behaving like an absolute weirdo that day. Shatrughan sighed

"What do you want, Shruti?" Shatrughan asked dejectedly, which was way TOO uncharacteristic of  him.

"You very well know what I want, Shatru" Shrutakirti now said seriously, looking straight into Shatrughan's eyes
