As usual, Mandodari sat in her garden with a little smile on her face. She was happy with the news she received a few months back. Having her baby in her arms excited her. It was true that there is a mother in every woman. She could feel it since she got the news.

Everything was absolutely blissful. Or she thought so. She eventually learned to live with the life she had. Though she never stopped trying, she accepted her life whole heartedly.

"Pranam bhabhishree!" Vibhishan greeted her.

"Oh Vibhishan! Come come." Vibhishan smiled and took a seat in front of her.

"How is your health now bhabhishree?" He asked politely.

"It's good Vibhishan. I'm much better now. Adjusting to this new change." Mandodari said with a smile on her face.

"That's good. Everyone is pretty excited about the baby's arrival." He said honestly. They sat in silence for a few minutes when Mandodari decided to break it.

"Vibhishan, I have a question. Will you answer honestly?" She asked.

"Of course bhabhishree."

"What happened to pitashree? I mean he's been angry and stressed about something. Is everything okay?" She voiced out her worries and Vibhishan visibly tensed.

"Bhabhishree, pitashree's karma is now hitting him back. He's cutting what he sowed."

"I don't get you Vibhishan. Pitashree is such a great and learned sage. Even the devas respect them. Then what are you talking about?"

"His some actions were not so innocent bhabhishree." Vibhishan said with a far look in his eyes. Mandodari clasped her hands in anticipation.

"Tell me Vibhishan. What are you talking about? I'm so confused." Mandodari pleaded and Vibhishan sighed.
