It was cloudy day in Mithila although the preparation for the wedding of ram sita were in full swing.

Urmila made her mind not to think about him but how can she make her heart understand?

There lakshman was roaming here and there all gloomy not talking to anyone, even his ram bhaiya. Bharat kept on making lakshman understand to accept urmila's proposal but it all was going in vain and there Mandavi was telling urmila not to go near lakshman, even not to think about him.

Currently, Ram Lakshman Bharat and Shatrughan along with king Dashrath, Gurudev Vashisht, Sumantra ji , Maharishi vishwamitra , yudhjit and his son , amarjeet were present in Mithila's palace for launch.

Queen Sunaina, queen chandrabhaga and all three Princess were serving them.

Lakshman roamed his eyes in order to find urmila but she was no where , his eyes landed on Mandavi and quickly divert his gaze from her seeing her angry expression. If gaze could burn anyone then he would be ash right now. He felt good that her sisters care so much for her.

" Queen Sunaina, where is Urmila?" Asked king Janak taking everyone's attention.

Lakshman's heartbeats quicken hearing her name.

She is in her chamber, maybe she would be doing painting replied queen, calmly.

Queen, call her! I have not met her since I came . How she used to roam around me in childhood! Has she forgotten all that? Also queen sumitra sent few gifts for her said king being excited.

Lakshman fist his hand in order to control his emotions. He knew how his mother was fond of urmila. She would kill him probably for hurting her ladli ( dear one ).

Ji, said queen shortly.

Sunaina Asked priyamvada , urmila's friend and helper to call her.

*******

urmila was in her chamber. The chamber was all dark just few diyas were making things visible.

she was engrossed in Making Painting. The painting of Maa gauri doing penance to get Mahadev. she felt related to Mata gauri at that Moment . How Maa gauri did penance for thousands years to get Mahadev. she left her Palace, food, fruits, water then Her identity to become his.

she always took inspiration from maa gauri . How Perfect daughter, wife and mother she is !

urmila Never felt she would love someone like a girl loves boy but after Meeting him she was all ready to loose herself in his Arms. she was all ready to loose has Identity of Mithila kumari urmila to become lakhan sangini urmila but she got defeated by her faith. He was never Hers.

Mandavi was right If he would be written in her destiny Then No one Can snatch him from her and If not then no one can give him to her. And he was not written in her Destiny that was the real truth. She was realising the truth and making herself habitual to live with it forever.

Urmi! she turned towards the door taking Iron torch of flames in her hand. It's heat was providing her calmness and its light was making urmila look more glow up.

Urmi! Queen Called you in dining room ungently said Priyamvada as if It was the most urgent work of the world Right Now.

but why ? Asked urmila leaving her Painting unfinished.

That , I don't know but come fast ! She said taking flash from urmila's hand and putting it in the stand.

Urmila without thinking anything went from there towards room with priyamvada. She heard round of laughter as she was getting close to the room. She sensed many people were present there.

******

There Sunaina with the help of attendees was taking the empty plates of food back in which lakshman stopped her to do so and he himself stood up to hand over his plate to them .

" lakshaman, beta Tum Atithi ho Mithila ke " said Queen Sunaina being a little embarrassed. ( Lakshman, son! you are guest of mithila ).

Lakshman went towards her , placing his hands on her shoulder he said " kya maa, ek pal main beta boldiya or agle hi pal atithi bolkar paraya kardiya " everyone smiled at those words of him except Mandavi and Bharat. ( Maa you have called me son just now and now you are making me feel as outsider by calling me guest) .

Queen pinched his cheek a little in affection just then they heard a soft melodious voice but formal, void of any emotion this time.

" Ab atithi ko atithi hi bolenge na" said urmila entering in hall.( Guest would be called as guest only ).

Lakshman froze hearing her taunt. He could sense pain in her voice and he was the reason of it that hurted him the most.

Urmila came there in simple Georgette white lehenga, hair tied in messie ban and it's locks were falling on her forehead and shoulders tickling her collarbones. hand painted in various paints hiding her Alta a little. red paint set on her right cheek proudly and her eyes , those eyes who every time lowered in shyness, timidness or nervousness were gazing straight to him with no emotions in them.

Urmila is this way to roam around like that? scolded Sunaina coming close to her daughter .

Maa, Priya said you called me urgently that's why ! she said in lowered voice .

Urmila , daughter! come here said king Dashrath smilingly.

she went towards him and bent down to touch his feet. he blessed her .

Urmila I was missing you where were you? asked king.

I was quite busy in wedding preparations , she said shortly.

Look, what your summi maa gave for you ! he said forwarding a beautiful pair of bangles to her.

Four bangles were there of gold with diamond stud above it.

laksh too saw those bangles when Dashrath was giving it to urmila and his eyes went wide in shock seeing them . " What was going in his mother's mind when she gifted them to her ?" He thought.

Love you all❤️❤️
