Dil Dhadakne Do ( Modern Ramayan )

CHAPTER -7 - Back at Home

After a long journey, the family car slowly made its way through the busy streets of Mumbai, the city they had all come to know as home. The hustle and bustle of the streets, filled with people hurrying to and fro, was a stark contrast to the peaceful surroundings they had grown accustomed to during their time away.

Dasharat: (Smiling as he looked at the city) "We're back in Mumbai. There's always a rush here, no matter the time of day."

Kavita: (Gazing out of the window with a sigh of relief) "Mumbai... there's no place like it. It's always so alive."

Ram: (Looking out at the familiar streets with a smile) "It feels good to be back, doesn't it?"

Lakshman: (Sitting quietly, his arms crossed, visibly uncomfortable as the car passed through the crowded streets. He frowned slightly, his coldness showing as he looked at the chaos outside.) "Too many people..." (He muttered under his breath, shifting uncomfortably in his seat.)

Shatrughna: (Noticing Lakshman's unease, teasing lightly) "Always the grumpy one when it's crowded, aren't you?"

Lakshman: (Looking out the window, speaking softly but firmly) "Crowds just make everything feel... suffocating. I can't stand it."

Bharat: (Leaning forward, trying to cheer him up) "It's just a little rush, Lakshman. You'll get used to it again."

Kavita: (Gently placing a hand on Lakshman's shoulder) "It's okay, dear. I know it's overwhelming, but we're home. You'll be fine."

Dasharat: (Looking at Lakshman with understanding) "The crowds can be a lot to take in, but home is where we're meant to be, and you're with family. That makes all the difference."

Lakshman's cold demeanor softened when his father spoke to him, and though he still felt uneasy in the chaos of the city, he appreciated the comfort of his family around him.

Lakshman: (Nods quietly, his tone much softer now) "Thanks, papa."

As the car reached the house, the energy of the bustling city outside grew louder, but inside the car, there was a sense of warmth and calm. Lakshman's unease started to fade as he thought about being home with his family, where he didn't have to worry about the crowds or the noise.

The car finally pulled up in front of the large mansion, the familiar building that had been their home for so many years.

Dasharat: (Looking out with pride at the mansion) "Home at last."

Sumitra: (Smiling as she looked at the house) "It's good to be back.

After the long journey back to Mumbai, the entire family took the time to unwind and rest in the comfort of their home. The quiet of their large house was a welcome relief from the chaos of the city, and each family member took a moment to settle into their own space, gathering their thoughts. 

AT THE RAJVANSHI PALACE -

The sun had set, casting a warm golden glow over the large, beautiful home of the Rajvanshi family. The house was filled with the sound of laughter and chatter as Janak, Sunaina, Siya, Manvi, Urmila, and Shrutkirti gathered in the cozy living room after a long day. Milo, their ever-energetic dog, was playfully running around the room, chasing after a ball.

Siya sat comfortably on the couch, reading a book about gardening—her favorite hobby. Manvi was lying down on the floor, flipping through a magazine while munching on a chocolate bar. Urmila, as always, was hopping around the house, giggling and trying to prank anyone she could find. Shrutkirti was sitting on the floor, making a clay model of an animal, completely focused on her task.
