"I will see you!"
She whispered under her breath and paced towards her chamber.

......

And again, a pleasant day broke in Ayodhya. The Suryadev rose from the mountains, emitting golden rays. The beautiful Ayodhyan chariots were kept ready, with the beautiful Suryavanshi flag fluttering above, for the departure from Ayodhya to Amarpura.

.......

"Arya, everything's ready?"

"Yes."

"Have you taken all your essentials?"

"Check!"

"Extra pair of clothes?"

"Check!"
Ram said as the worker took out his luggage. And he moved towards the mirror and placed his golden crown over his wavey hair.

Sita just looked at him silently, her gaze moving along with his actions.

.......

"Hmm... great!"
He exclaimed as he placed the crown. And he looked at Sita through the mirror.

He then turned and walked to her, cupping her cheeks between her fingers. As she felt his touch, her tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Sitae!"
He called her out in concern.

And he packed her in his warm embrace.

"Arya!"
She cried in a broken voice.

"Sitae, it's only for a few days, then I will be here with you."
He said that and wiped out her tears.

"Now, please smile."
He said it while pecking her cheeks softly.

And she smiled out wide.

"That's my Sita."
He smiled and pecked her forehead.

"Maharaj, the chariots have been waiting for you."
A voice came.

"Sure."
Ram said so and moved towards the door.

AT THE PALACE GATES

Everyone just gathered around to bid the Raghuvanshi brothers goodbye. The workers were loading up the luggage, and the soldiers marched past.

"Happy journey."
Kaushalya spoke while lifting the brothers as they took her blessings.

"Pranam Maa."
Said Ram.

Then they moved towards Kaikayi and bent down, taking her blessings.

"It feels like leaving for Kaikeya Raj, just hoping everything would be fine here."
Said Bharat, and Kaikayi smiled out weakly.

.

"Hope, so..."
Lakshman whispered to Shatrughn.

"How can everything be fine if that witch's around?"
Shatrughn said it with disgust in his tone.

"Ram!"
A voice came.

.

"Yeh lo, naam liya shaitaan hazir."
(As we took the name, the devil is here.)
Said Lakshman, for which Shatrughn giggled.

.

"Kamalnayan?"
Said Ram, turning his gaze to her.

"This is for you."
She said it with a smile while forwarding a box.
