"Now, the search begins. Now, who's going to save you, Shikha?"
Lakshman spoke to himself as the fire of anger burned in his eyes.

........

The night fell, Kamalnayan was sent back to her kingdom, and the only thing left was to find Shikha, who was behind all these troubles.

.......

KAMALNAYAN'S CHAMBER

Lakshman just rushed out of the chamber in a fit of rage as he put his sword back into the sheath while muttering something under his breath, and Shatrughn ran behind him as he slammed the door.

.

*SLAM*

.

Everyone just flinched and looked at them as they knew what was going on deep inside their minds, and they felt helpless.

While Sita just stood numb as her eyes watered, and thousands of questions crossed her mine. And knowing how much he had sacrificed only for her happiness, she let out a slight smile. Ram just looked at her while reading out her expressions as a calm smile played on his lips.

.
.
.

"Ram!"
Kaushalya spoke while breaking the silence.

"Ji, Maa."
He motioned his gaze towards her.

"You should have some rest, isn't it?"
She asked while her gaze flicked between Ram and Sita.

"Hmm..."
Ram hummed in response.

.

"Putri, have you prepared for tomorrow's event?"
Kaushalya asked while looking at Sita.

.
.
.

"Ooo! I have completely forgotten about this thing."
Sita said while clicking her tongue.

.

"Oh, ho, come on, Urmi, Mandhavi, Kirti..."
She spoke hurriedly while panicking.

.

"Calm down, Sitae. The Dasis have carried out the decoration."
Ram said it with a smile.

"Arya, I am not talking about that... there's so much to do..."
She said this while making him understand.

"Putri, don't worry, we are all here..."
Kaushalya spoke while interrupting her as she caressed her cheeks. For which both Ram and Sita smiled.

.....

RAM-SITA'S CHAMBER

Sita just ran her gaze around and saw the chamber all tidy and clean. And she moved around hurriedly while holding her head in clear tension.

.
.

"I have to do this..."
She mumbled under her breath while moving towards the wardrobe.

.

"No... this..."
She turned to the bed in hustle-bustle.

She was just having a panic attack when someone knocked on the door.

.
.
.

*Knock*

.
.
.

She turned her gaze toward the door.

.

"Maharani, may I come in?"
A voice came while breaking her thoughts.

"Yes!"
She replied in response.
