As the bus arrived at it's next destination, everyone got off the bus too excited to see Lord Ram's nagari. KS's happiness was nowhere to be controlled. She was to excited to meet her god. Her happiness was doubled than usual because luckily they were visiting Ayodhya on the day of diwali. Her whole life she had been worshiping the man of honor Lord Ram and Sita and been following his values in her life. She wanted to meet them as soon as possible and things making her delay were definitely triggering her anger."Areh Karishma shant! Subh se char logope keher barsa chuki hai aap! Ja rahe hai na mil lenge aapke Ram ji se thoda sabar rakhiye!", HM said holding the latter by shoulder stopping her from bursting out on her fifth prey. "Lekin dekhiye na aap hi itna time kon barbad karta hai tayar hone mai. Inhe pata hona chahiye na ham kaha hai!", KS said shrugging HM's hands off her shoulder. HM chuckled on her fretful behavior which she always finds too damn adorable.
HM wrapped her arms around KS's waist hugging her tightly from behind and said resting her chin on KS's shoulder, "Dekhiye ham Siya Ram ki nagari mai hai. Wo jinhone sabar karne ki har uss had ko challenge kiya tha aur aap unse milne mai thoda sabar nahi kar sakti Karishma Singh?!". As always HM's calm words made KS think the other way around and both went back to eat some evening snacks quickly before they will be leaving towards temple.
Whole city was crowded with people coming from different states around the banks of Saryu River. Enjoying the day we celebrate as return of King Ram and Queen Sita from their 14 years of exile. The whole kingdom since that day had been celebrating the day as if it's a festival. A huge celebration was being planned all around the city, Meanwhile the tourist were making their way together among the crowd towards the temple.
Everyone was being safe in order to not get lost in such huge crowd as after that chances were too low to find each other. "Haseena ji hath mat choriyega!", KS said while walking with the latter. HM smiled holding KS's hand tightly while crossing the crowd behind and answered, "Aap chahe tobhi picha nahi chorne wale ham Karishma..". PS and NM were walking in front passing through the crowd. DS was leading the entire group from front meanwhile the both ladies were at the back making sure everyone is following DS properly.
After sometime passing the whole crowd walking around the bank of Saryu, the troop reached to the temple. Although it wasn't built yet, KS's smile was on different level. As if she was imagining herself standing in front of Ram Sita inside the temple praying to them with all her love and respect. HM could definitely noticed the sudden shine in KS's eyes and that evergreen sheepishly smile which always attracts her a lot. Both took the blessing from distance while everyone roamed around for a while.
After a while Sun started setting down, People were still crowding around the river enjoying their time of Diwali. Soon whole city started blooming in the light of Deepak everyone had lightened at the shore of river. As if it was a signal towards the start of most awaiting celebration of the year. Whole town was glooming in different colors, Aromas of different delicious food were roaming around. Everyone was hypnotized with the music echoing around the entire place.
"Aap janti hai Diwali isiliye manate hai kyuki issi din Ram ji Ayodhya wapis laute the Sita maiya aur Bhai Lakshman ke sath apna vanvas khatam karke. Isiliye ayodhya aaj itini saji dhaji lag rahi hai mano jaise nayese nirman kiya gaya ho iska!", KS excitedly looking around the lightings and uncountable Deepak over the shore of river. "Wakayi behad khubsurat lag raha hai sab!", HM answered getting mesmerized with the beauty before her.
Soon the troop decided to leave the place before it will get more crowded and hard for them to leave the place. As usual KS and HM were walking behind making sure everyone following them. On mid of their way, suddenly a group of men came running towards them resulting HM almost got hit by one making her leave the hand of KS. KS tried to reach her but the crowd was too much that HM just disappeared in matter of seconds.
