On the dining hall:-"Urmila, you shouldn't have given the job of feeding the kids to Lakshman. I think it is tough for him." Said Ram, sitting in his usual place for dinner.
"Hmm yeah I agree with Jijashree. We should have done it. It is hard for them to do." Added Mandavi arranging the dishes in the table.
"I know it Jijashree. But he always used to tell me that 'My kids are just like me. They are so calm and good.' I totally agree with him because they are just like him, naughty and uncontrollable." Replied Urmila with a broad eyes.
Ram couldn't do anything but giggle at her statement.
"And I decided to show him how good and calm his kids are." continued Urmila.
"Yeah, I had suffered a lot in feeding Laksh-Shatru. They just run all along the Palace to eat. It will be hard for me to run behind." Said Sumitra, her experience in feeding Lak-Shatru.
"And it is Ram who makes them to eat. They will obey his words more than anything else." Added Kaikeyi with a broad smile in her face.
"Now the time has passed. The effect of time is that, the twins who done naughty works is now witnessing the naughtiness of their sons. They were in the same situation as I was." Said a smiling Sumitra.
The family chuckled hearing her sayings.
The reminisces of the past made them to shed the tears of happiness.
Suddenly Ram got the news of the arrival of imported goods.
"Mata, I have to go now. I will be back soon. But please eat and don't wait for me." said Ram.
"I am also coming with you bhaiya." Said Bharat.
Ram nodded.
"But.." Kaushalya started and was interrupted by Bharat "First you all have the dinner and take rest. We will be back soon."
The two left the hall.
In the garden:-
"Bhaiya, You go that side and I will go this side. So we can feed the kids easily." said Shatrughnan to his twin.
Lakshman nodded his head.
Suddenly a loud chaos was heard in the garden.
They turned only to see the kids were playing.
Taksh and Kush was busy playing with sword with their self-made wooden swords.
Anagad and Shatrughati were chasing one another with water bags in their hands.
Lav and Pushkal were seen playing with bows and arrows which they made themselves.
"Where is Subhahu and Chandraketu?" questioned Lakshman, unable to find them in the garden.
"We are here Pitashree." Lakshman and Shatrughnan turned back hearing their sweet voice.
"What my naughty kids are doing here hiding?" asked Shatrughnan while Lakshman moved forward.
"Don't move forward Pitashree" before even finishing the sentence Lakshman stepped into a rope lying under his foot in the garden.
The rope was connected to a small opening of a cage which hung down in a big tree holding different kinds of beautiful and colorful butterflies.
All the butterflies which is caged inside flew in the air as Lakshman stepped on it.
"Wow beautiful." Shatrughnan exclaimed seeing the colorful scenario in the garden.
