Months passed with a jerk it has been  7 years now. It has been raining for past few days. Mandavi had been feeling jittery for the past few days this rain has driven in her a sense of nostalgia. She
started reinmicising the old days when  she and her sisters use to enjoy the rain
draning in rain was the best thing for her in those days. She was busy in adoring the beauty of nature had been there a swing she would go and dreanched in rain. Rain was making her fall in the memories of her dear sisters.

What would be Sister Sita doing now she just wanted to go in to the memory lane how would she be managing in forest during the rain.

Urmila whenever she thinks about her sister the tradegy that happened fourteen years ago hitted her mind, please God take all her sufferings, she don't deserve to be sad in this entire tragedy she and Lakshman are the only ones who are suffering the most if I would have been her place I would have died she has sacrificed the most among all of us.

Kirti my baby sister I never knew a day would come that I would have to stay away from her when I last met her before going to exile the only thing she said was "will see you soon".Our most pampered sister has become the most responsible one as after our departure all the responsibilities has fell on her tender shoulders.

It has been seven years since I am living here this place feels more homly than palace . If we had not come here we would not have enjoyed the beauty of nature , I would not been able to teach the girls warfare I would not have been able to know Bharat that much he has become my best friend so this life is also good. This rain is like a rollor coaster it drawned me over a memory lane  .
"I wish we could be together and would have enjoyed the rain " said Mandavi in mind.

She was enjoying watching the rain and in a moment she felt a hand on her waist. She quickly recognized the hug and a smile crept on her face. .
"Bharat " retrotaed Mandavi
"Yes Maan " he replied smiling
"Enjoying the rain? " asked Bharat
"Yes I love rain " replied Mandavi
"So go and enjoy" said Bharat
"Can I go " asked Mandavi surprised
"Yes go " said Bharat

And in no time Mandavi went and got drenced in rain and Bharat also joined her . Both of them enjoyed the rain.

After some time

"Mandavi please come back now otherwise you will catch cold and fever please come " said Bharat
"Mandavi please come back it's already 30 muntues since you are drenching in rain "

After this Mandavi finally came back after drenching and she coughed two times.

"See I said and you proved it " ramarked Bharat
"Please don't scold me for this now " said Mandavi.
"Okh okh but please change first " said Bharat
"Okay " said Bharat

When she went Bharat quickly prepared lukewarm water for her

"Come Mandavi sit and have some water till then I will get dry your hair otherwise you will catch the cold"
"Okay" replied Mandavi
"Seven years passed seven more to go but this place is more like home I will miss this place . This place has became my home more than palace " said Mandavi
"We are here only for upcoming seven years " said Bharat
"But you remember this place has taught us so much, first we became each other's support system then each other's friend Mandavi if not been you how would I could survive that tragedy you always supported me no matter what" said Bharat.
"This life is way to simple but it's too peaceful, this exile gave me exposure to simple life we came to know each other this much only because of the exile" said Mandavi
"Thank you for everything Mandavi " said Bharat
"Thank you for being an excellent advisor thank you for always being there for me in our highs and in our lows thank you " said Bharat
"Thank you to you too for everything it's only beginning we have to go together till eternity" said Mandavi

They both spend the night together watching the rain
