LAKSHMAN PRIYA

I AM YOURS

Every corner of Moti Bhavan was getting cherished by the ecstatic fragrance of various flowers. In the main bedroom, Urmila's heartbeats were syncing with the golden diya flickering on the nearby stand. In the soft embrace of anticipation, her heart dances to the rhythm of nervous whispers, as moonlit dreams blend with the fragrance of jasmine and tube roses.

Nearly 10 maids were enhancing her beauty by doing solah shringar infront of a huge mirror. Her milky white skin was glowing like a diamond in the new red attire and golden angavastram, gifted by her mother in law. Her big captivating eyes were adorn with thick lines of kajal and lips had reddish tone which was a perfect match with the wide line of vermilion on her forehead.

The canvas of her soul was getting painted by many shades of excitement and anxiousness.
The symphony of the upcoming moment of emotions and fulfilment were echoing in the quiet corridors of her heart, as she was stepping into the enchanting realm of shared tomorrows with her Saumitra.

Couple of seconds later Sumitra came to the room with some other maids when Urmila's shringar was almost done. She got up from her seat to touch the feets of her mother in law, but Sumitra hugged her.
"You are such a picture of grace Urmila. This radiance suits you."

A shy blush decorated her countenance while she looked down. - "thanks maa."
Sumitra extended her hands towards the maid behind her, who handed the youngest queen two elegant blus lotuses. Urmila's eyes glittered by seeing her favourite flower and her excitement made the queen chuckle.
"Neel kamal... Is this...?"- Urmila inquired with adorable zeal. Sumitra again made her sit infront of the huge mirror before answering with a winsome smile. - "yes my child. Your favourite... Neel kamal. I ordered it especially for you. You love it right?"

Urmila's smile widened, when Sumitra started ornamenting her hair with those gorgeous blue blooms. "But, how did you know maa, did your son told you?"-Urmila questioned.

While setting her daughter in law's hair neatly, Sumitra replied- "No... I didn't had to ask him. Even before you coming to Ayodhya, I had sought informations from Maharani Sunaina about the likes and dislikes of you and all your sisters. This is how I got to know your love for blue lotuses."

An alluring smile danced on the third rajvadhu's lips. Indeed she found another version of Sunaina in her mother in law. Sumitra's simplicity, affection and charming aura could heal anyone. Urmila had nothing extra to say while expressing her gratitude, except- "Thank you so much."

"The happiness is my mine Urmila. I'm so delighted to have you for my son. I wish your love and bond will grow more and more beautiful just like these Neel kamal." - the queen answered.

After putting those flowers in her hair, Sumitra held her hands. She could clearly sense Urmila's heart crazily echoing inside her chest. By gently lifting her chin a little the youngest queen muttered along with a gentle smile.- "I can totally understand what are you feeling now, daughter. Every woman goes through this phase in her life, when nervousness blends with excitement and desires. Many questions can raise in your heart and mind. Many worries can upturn in heart. But you have to solve them all with tenderness.
As you embark on the beautiful journey of marriage, embrace the warmth of these special moments. it's a canvas of shared thoughts and emotions. Be open to communication; let your heart and soul dance in sync with your partner so that you can build a foundation of trust. As you navigate through the early days of marriage, remember that it's a journey of growth so be patient with each other and yourselves."

Urmila nodded gently when that shy smile again appeared on her face. So Sumitra lovingly cupped her face and said again- "You know very well my child... Lakshman is very less expressive, angry, possessive and cold. It's still a miracle for me that he fell in love. Which became possible only because of you Urmila. I can see a slight but very beautiful change in him. All credit goes to you, daughter. So I hope... by the grace of Mahadev, you both will always stand beside eachother.
Another thing, you may get very less times with your husband as comparison to your sisters. And I know that you have absolute no problem with it but you are proud of it. But still... It's a guilt for Lakshman. So I advise you to cherish every moments in your life. Find joy and happiness in every small details of eachother. Because these are what makes a relationship flourish."
