"They are here..." Kaikeyi's voice was filled with joy.

Kausalya closed her eyes and thanked the God. At last their wait is over. Her children are back with their beautiful brides.

"Kausalya didi, Be ready for the rituals. We don't have that much time..." Said Sumitra handing over the 'aarathi' plates to Kausalya.

Kausalya walked to the entrance and the other two queens followed her.

"Welcome to home, my dear daughters...God bless you all..."

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

"Mandavi... I hope you are comfortable with the curtains...or do you want to remove them..." Asked Bharath breaking the silence. It has been a few minutes they were sitting in the room without talking.

"No...I mean I am comfortable..." Replied Mandavi. "But why did you ask me about this?"

"You told me that you love the sky in the night, especially the shining stars...Don't you remember?" 

"Yes of course... How could I forget... It was our first meeting..." Mandavi smiled a little. "But I never expected that you will remember this silly matters and..." 

"No... Don't call them silly dear..." Bharath cut her sentence. "Each of your likings, each of your priorities and each of your interests... all are important... at least ,for me..." 

A single drop of happy tear escaped from Mandavi's eyes and fell on Bharath's hand. Her heart was immersed in joy. The love and care in his mind for her was immeasurable...

Bharath placed his palm over her's. They were entering in a new phase of their life... They were together... A bond for a lifetime...

"You don't know how beautiful you are... You are the perfect one for me... My dream girl, my love...I am blessed..."

"Not only you... we, we are blessed...my prince..."

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

"I am really sorry, dear... I made you wait for me today...I am very very sorry..." said Shatrughan in a guilty voice after entering in the room.

Sruthakeerthi smiled and fixed her focus on the floor instead of looking at him.

"Forgive your husband... I promise you, this is the last time...I won't be late anymore"

Sruthakeerthi suppressed her chuckle with lot of effort and continued staring at the floor.

Shatrughan came forward and hugged her from back. "Won't you smile for me..."

Sruthakeerthi giggled and broke the hug. "I know it was a serious work...I know you have lot of pending works because of your sudden departure to Mithila. So please don't apologies Sumitranandhan... I am not a typical jealous wife like others..."

"You are special... Really special..." Replied Shatrughan.

Through out the journey from Mithila to Ayodhya, both of them were talking about their childhood and dreams. Shatrughan's sense of humour and friendly behaviour helped her to overcome the feeling of being away from the home... Each and every time when her mind reminded her about her loved ones he held his love and shielded her from all the worries... At that moment Sruthakeerthi realised the real Shatrughan... The matured and responsible one...The one who could understand her, completely.

They smiled at each other. Then slowly whispered those magical words...

"I love you..."

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

Ram and Sita were standing on the balcony. It was a full moon night and a cold breeze made her long dense hair dance with it.

Ram was admiring Sita's beauty. She was adorable, in every means... The innocence in her eyes and the sweetness of her voice enhanced her charm. She was the daughter of the earth... So there were no one to match her divinity.

"Sita... my dear... Still I feel like I am in a dream...I still remember that evening... when I first met you, I thought you were an angel, I could not believe that a woman can be this much beautiful..."

Sita placed her head on his shoulder. She also recalled that precious moment. When her eyes met the Prince of Ayodhya, Sita's world stopped. He was a stranger... she didn't even know his name...But in her mind she heard the whisper of her soul...

'He is the one... He is the only one who deserve your love...'

"Maithili... I started loving you at that second... and I will continue it, in my full life time. I want you as my wife, not only in this birth but in the coming ones too...Please be mine, forever..."

"I am yours my Ragunanthan... only yours , forever..." 

Sita smiled and looked at his face. He was incomparable. His blue shaded dark skin, perfectly shaped face,  lotus petal like eyes and pleasure providing smile... All of them was beyond all comparisons. He lightened up Sita's world...

"Vaidhehi... " Ram asked with a mischievious grin "Were you afraid that, may be I would fail to lift Mahadeva's bow..."

"No." Sita cut him with a determined voice. "I was very confident. I was sure that you will make me your love...I selected you as my life companion at the moment when I saw you. And I know the same thing happened to you also...Ragunanthan" 

"Call me Ram... We are alone here... " Ram cupped her face "I don't know how to express my joy...my Janaki...You and your sisters are the best things happened in mine and my brothers life"

"It is my pleasure Ram... When ever I thought about marriage, the fear of being separated from my little sisters was burning my mind. But now we are together after our marriage. God gave me three lovable devars..." 

Ram was able to sense him self in her soul. He was sure that they were connected, born to be together...

"Sita Ram... The united souls... Inseparable couples... and, eternal lovers..."
