"Kaka announce this to Khadus rajkumar that Urmila is here to meet him. " said Urmi to the soldier outside Ram and Laksh's chamber.

"Khadus rajkumar putri? " the soldier asked confused.

"uff kaka!! Rajkumar Lakshman who else? "

The soldier sniggered at the cute antics of the JANAKNANDINI.

He entered the chamber to announce her arrival

"Your majesty Janaknandini is seeking permission to enter. "

"Sita didi? Here. She doesn't need to seek permission bring her in"

"Pardon kumar but Janaknandini Urmila is seeking permission not Janaknandini Sita"

"Ohh. Tell her that Ram Bhaiya is not in here. She should look for him in the garden."

"Kumar but she wants to see you kumar. "

Lakshman chocked on water he was drinking.

"Ahem!Ahem!Ahem! She wants to see me? Oh God!! what happened to her all of a sudden. Say her I am sleeping"

"As you say Kumar." the soldier bowed and left

"Nakchadi is here to meet me?  Something is definitely fishy. I should pretend to be asleep." thought Laksh

He slipped into his bed covered himself with quilt.

Outside

" putri  kumar is sleeping." the soldier said a bit uncomfortable as he did not want to lie to her.

Urmila noticed it and it confirmed her doubt about Laksh's lie.

"Oh but Ram Bhaiya urgently needed something. I guess i should take it without disturbing the rajkumar. Ram Bhaiya gave me the permission to enter. May I? "

"Of course putri. "

With this Urmila entered the chamber and saw Lakshman snuggling actually pretending to be snuggling.

"Why did she enter? I told the soldier to tell her that i am sleeping." Laksh thought to himself.

Urmila smirked "Let me show him what Urmila is. Let me give him a glance of my worldclass acting".

She spotted a jug on the side table.

"Where is the scroll Ram Bhaiya told me to bring. "

She started searching here and there. While Lakshman was conscious about not to get caught.

"oh it must be there on the table. Also i am thirsty let me have some water. "

She went near the table picked the jug and started drinking water standing beside Laksh's bed.

"Splash"

Laksh got up abruptly.
"What the hell is wrong with you girl?" said a drenched Laksh.

"Oops! Sorry Rajkumar. I stumbled because of the mats." said a smirking Urmila.

"I know you very well devil. " mumbled Laksh under his breath.

"Did you say something?"

"me?.. No no. " he faked a smile.

"I came here to look for some scrolls but i guess they aren't here. Also Ram Bhaiya is calling you. "

"Okay. I will see to it after i change. "

"No! No! Don't change!"

"Why?"

"umm...ummm.... Because Ram Bhaiya urgently wants to meet you" said Urmi sighing in relief.

"is it so? We shall get going"

Urmila mentally patted herself for the victory.

" Yeah! Yeah! Sure. He is in garden. "

And both of them walked towards the garden.

The garden was the most winsome place. Its was breathtakingly attractive. With a vide variety of flowers and tress it showed nature at its best.  Chaste yet so classic.

"Where is Ram Bhaiya"

"He is there at the pond near the avenue. "

They made their way towards the avenue. The narrow path with tress on both sides added feathers to the garden. At the end of the avenue was the pond.

"3......2.......1....." Urmila smirked.

"Plop!!!!!!!! "

And Lakshman was in pond while Urmila bursted into fits of laughter.

"Great job Vatsala and Chandrika. " Urmila said between her laughs.

Two girls of about same age as Urmi came into view. They were Urmila's friends who helped her in pranking Lakshman. Just when they were about to reach the pond the two girls pulled the rope which was tied on the other side as a result of which Laksh lost his balance and fell into the pond.

"Urmilaaaaaaaa! " screamed Laksh his upper body now out of water.

"Last few days i could not return your favour. I know you left hariya in my room. "

"Hariya? " Laksh asked confused still inside the pond.

"That frog which you quietly left in my room thinking i would be scared. He was already my friend. Also this is your punishment for scaring Ram Bhaiya on Rakhi. You know how anxious he was about you. Enjoy your bath. Tata! Byee!! "

With this Urmila and the two girls ran towards the palace.  While a frowning Laksh was still in the pool.

........................................................................

Night

While everyone was sleeping the little hungry princess carefully slipped out of her sister's embrace.  She was denied food by her mother as a punishment of what she did to Lakshman. This time her father was also not able to save her. Her repeated explanations feel on deaf ears. The most dreadful part being today was Rajbhog. Just the thought of Rajbhog made her mouth water.

Somehow dejected she came out of the room when her stomach rumbled.
"Urghhh!!!  Stomchi i know you are hungry but don't make noice or else someone will wake up and our punishment would be doubled. All this is because of that Khadus rajkumar. "

She embarked on her mission. Mission Food

She knew she would find nothing in the kitchen as none of the food was wasted in the palace neither saved for the next day. After feeding each and every person in the palace be it be a worker or a royal. The leftover food was distributed among the praja basically the poor people.

But she still went to the kitchen in search of the secret ladoos which always served Urmila and Janak's midnight cravings.

She excitedly searched the top shelf and took out her guilty pleasure. Mangoes and Ladoos are her guilty pleasure.  She would do anything for them.  She took the plate and went to the garden to enjoy her ladoos.

She was on the entrance when she heard some strange voice coming from the garden. She entered the garden to see the last person she wanted to see right now there with back towards her. She hid her plate nearby.

"You?  What are you doing here?" asked Urmi

The other one turned.

"Well I should be the one asking you this question. You are violating my privacy. "

"Excuse me? "

"Excused. You may go now."

"Really! It is all because of you that maa scolded me so much and you have the audacity to show me attitude and saying i am violating your privacy.  Great!  By the way this is my palace i can go wherever i want. "

" You were scolded. Well i was denied the food.  That mouthwatering Rajbhog when i was the victim. Just because of you"

"you"

"you"

"you"

"you. You. You. "

"No You. You. You. You"

"you"......

This went for another 15 minutes till the time both of them were out of breath.

"Fine. I was denied the dinner as well. But i have some ladoos we can share"said Urmila.

Hearing this Lakshman's jaw dropped. He was shocked would be an understatement. To be precise his jaw got burried in the ground.

"No,  i love my life a lot who knows what have you mixed in those ladoos.  I am not taking any risk. "

"Done with your drama?  I am not a witch who would kill you."

"Ha. How can you be a witch. Witches are better than you. " mumbled Laksh

"Said something?"

"No!no! I was saying i too have some juicy mangoes which i got from those giant trees. We can share those too. "  Lakshman said proudly

"I have been climbing those trees since my childhood. No need to boast. I did not want to spoil my clothes and get a scolding again that's why i did not climb them."

"Idiot. Can you find even a bit of dust on my clothes. I got them with my archery skills. "

"Okay!  Bring them fast. I love mangoes and ladoos. " said Urmila full of excitement.

Both of them got their respective trays and sat in the middle of the garden facing each other and sharing the food.  Both discovered a new side of each other that time.
