Continue from the previous part......

And Ram got busy with his packing, and Bharat too got busy, and the night fell.

........

And again, a pleasant day broke in Ayodhya. Ram, along with his brothers, went to the Matas, and after meeting them, they directly moved to the court. As only one day has left for Ram's departure to Amarpura, preparetion was needed.

And Sita was with her sisters, busy with the morning chores, and the kids, as always, playing with Hanuman.

......

IN COURT

Ram sat on the high throne. The court was filled with courtiers, and small thrones were lined up for the ministers and the important people.

"Maharaj, agar aapki aagya ho tho kuch nivedan karun?"
(Your Majesty, if you permit, may I request you?)
Asked a man while he bowed to Ram.

"Avashya."
Said Ram calmly.

"Maharaj, aapke anupassthiti mein rajya kaun sambhalega?"
(Maharaj, who will look after the kingdom in your absence?)

"Yeh bhaar main apne anuj Lakshman aur Shatrughn ko saupta hoon."
(I hand over this burden to my younger brothers, Lakshman and Shatrughan.)
He said it with a smile, and the twins bowed to him, accepting his command.

"Itne varsho mein Shatrughn ko iska anubhav ho hi gaya hoga."
(Shatrughan must have experienced this over the years.)
He said it, reminding everyone that during his exile he was the one who had been looking after the kingdom.

"Maharaj, aap is prakar mujhe lajjit na kijiye, main tho ab bhi nausikhya hoon."
(Maharaj, don't embarrass me like this; I am still a beginner.)
Said Shatrughn in a pleading tone, for which Ram smiled.

"Mujhe tum dono par poorn vishvaas hain ki tum dono apne kartavya ko bakoobhi nibhaoge aur mere aagya ka poorna roop se paalan karoge."
(I have full faith in both of you that you both will perform your duties very well and will follow my orders completely.)
Said Ram.

And the twins bowed to him.

IN THE KITCHEN

Urmila: Didi, aaj kya banaye kane mein?
(Didi, what should I prepare for lunch today?)
She asked.

Sita: Kofta?
She asked while snapping her fingers.

Kirti: Nahi! Kuch naya banate hai.
(No! Let's prepare something new today.)
Said Kirti, settling herself on the kitchen platform.

Mandhavi: Paalak paneer?
She exclaimed while lifting her eyebrows.

Sita: Haan! Yeh badiya rahega.
(Yes, this will be great.)
She said this while pinching her cheeks and getting busy preparing.

........

And few have passed; the Raghuvanshi brothers were still busy with political, stuff and the sisters were preparing the meal.

........

"Maharani! Maharani!"
Dasi dashed inside the kitchen.

"Oh, ho, ho! What happened?"
Asked Urmila, stopping her.

"Somebody has come."
She said.

"What? Who?"
Asked Sita.

"I don't know."
She said.

"Ok, we will see."
Saying so, the sisters moved towards the palace gates.

........

As they reached there, they saw a large number of soldiers, who gathered around and shipped out the luggage.
