Siya takes Ram's clothes from their bag and placed those on the bed. Her eyes falls on the cup of tea which was on table.
SIYA- Ram.. chai thandi horahi hai...
She calls for him looking at the direction of washroom, as he was taking shower. She started cleaning the room when he gets back from washroom.
RAM- hmm..
He gave the towel to Siya and settled down on bed while Siya hands him the cup and started wiping his wet head.
RAM- siya... Today I have to visit our factory.. waha jake ek bar dekh leta hu.. ki kam kaha tak hua hai..
Siya smile at him and nods in agreement.
SIYA- ok..
Ram takes a sip of the tea when something strikes him.
RAM- ghar se koi call aya..?
Siya shook her head in no.
SIYA- ab tak to nahi...
Ram nods hearing her. She thinks about everyone and specially about Kranti. She completes her work and goes near the balcony to keep the wet towel. Ram observed her tensed expression.
RAM- what happened..?
Siya looks at him as he asked her. She smile and moves towards him.
SIYA- ghar par... Sab theek honge na Ram..?
Ram too gets tensed as he get thoughts about Raghuvanshi family. He smile and gets up from his place.
RAM- pata nahi Siya...
He nods his head while Siya gets worried. He keeps the cup on the table and holds her from shoulder.
RAM- but isn't it obvious.? Everything happened in a blink.. sabko normal hone me, it will take time right..?
Siya smile at him and nods in agreement.
SIYA- acha.. Lakshman aapke sath chal raha hai kya..?
Ram shook his head denying.
RAM- I've asked him but he said he is going somewhere.. I don't know kaha ja raha hai..
Siya gave a confused expression. While Ram thinks about his brothers.
RAM- Siya.. Lakshman ko jyada din nahi rokenge..
Siya looks at him as he said about lakshman's return.
RAM- do teen dino me hume ghar mil jayega.. and once everything gets settled, we will send him back..
Siya smile and nods at him.
SIYA- but.. aapko lagta hai.. that Lakshman will return..?
Ram stops in between thinking about lakshman. The next moment he thinks about Urmila.
RAM- I know he will not be ready. But... Hum Urmila ko itna wait nahi karne de sakte Siya.. afterall.. they too have their married personal life..
Siya nods at him in agreement. Ram smile at her lightly and thinks about Bharat.
RAM- siya.. Lakshman ko to.. daat ke.. samjhake ya kaise bhi hum mana lenge... But...
Siya looks at him in confusion as he stops in between. He looks at her getting worried.
RAM- Bharat lautega to use kaise sambhalunga..??
Siya too gets tensed thinking about Bharat. Both of them know that it will be very difficult to handle bharat in this situation. Siya was about to speak when they heard a knock at the door.
LAKSHMAN- bhaiya.. bhabhi..
Ram nods at him allowing him to enter. Siya watches his tensed face.
SIYA- what happened laksh..?
LAKSHMAN- bhabhi.. wo...
Lakshman gulped thinking about how to say. He looks at Ram and continued.
LAKSHMAN- Bharat bhaiya and shatrughan are back in Mumbai...
Ram's heart beat skip for a moment while Siya's eyes widened hearing this. They both looks at each other while Lakshman watches both of them.
LAKSHMAN- yesterday.. Urmila had told me..
Ram takes a heavy sigh and nods his head in disbelief while Siya looks at him.
LAKSHMAN- Urmila bata rahi thi.. that.. Bharat bhaiya ne maa Ko bohot kuch kaha.. he is really very angry on her.
Siya looks at him hearing about Bharat while Ram nods in disbelief.
LAKSHMAN- Shatrughan ne to.. nani ke sath bohot misbehave kiya.. he just pushed her out of the house..
Siya gets shocked hearing him and looks at Ram who closed his eyes in disappointment. Lakshman looks at Siya.
LAKSHMAN- I am getting worried now bhabhi.. pata nahi ab kya hoga..?
Siya looks equally tensed at him.
RAM- jiska darr tha.. wohi hua..
Siya and Lakshman motioned their head towards Ram while he sighed thinking about Bharat and Shatrughan...
RAM- let's see.. what happens next...
Lakshman looks at Siya who was staring Ram getting tensed. While Ram looks concern thinking about his brothers...
*****
In Raghuvanshi palace, everyone were present at puja place except Kranti. Manvi was reading the Ramayana for them.
MANVI- अवसि नरेस बचन फुर करहू। पालहु प्रजा सोकु परिहरहू॥
Everyone's hands were joined infront of God. All were busy in their own thoughts.
MANVI- Guru Vashisht Rajkumar Bharat se apne swargvasi pita ke vachan pure karne ke liye kehte hai. Raja ka pad sambhalte hue, praja ki seva karne ko kehte hai.
Bharat closed his eyes when kranti's words echoed in his mind. His mother wants him to take the managing director post, betraying his beloved Ram bhaiya. He could not gulped the bitter truth.
MANVI- सौंपेहु राजु राम के आएँ। सेवा करेहु सनेह सुहाएँ॥
Shatrughan was boiling in anger because if Kranti and Mandira. He has not taken rest since they have returned from Hyderabad. The only thing roaming in his mind is to make everything as before.
MANVI- jab tak prabhu Ram apna vanvas pura karke nahi laut te, tab tak Bharat ko hi Ayodhya ko sambhalna hai. Jab wo laut aaye, tab Bharat prabhu Ram ko apna rajsihasan lauta de...
Sumitra's eyes falls on Bharat who was busy in his thoughts. She looks at Shatrughan who was thinking something clenching his teeth in anger. Meanwhile Manvi continued.
MANVI- जाउँ राम पहिं आयसु देहू। एकाहिं आँक मोर हित एहू॥
Everyone looks in front towards Manvi as she sung the further lines.
MANVI- Rajkumar Bharat hath jodkar sabse vinanti karte hai. Ki wo ek bar Prabhu Ram ko wapis lane ke liye jana chahte hai. Wo jante hai, Prabhu Ram vachan ke pakke hai, par wo ye bhi jante hai ki unke bhai unki bat zarur sunenge...
Bharat sighed and looks in confidence. Manvi closed the holy book and everyone bows their heads in front of God. Everyone gets up from their place while Bharat and Shatrughan moves towards Dashrath making him confused.
BHARAT- papa... We are sorry.
Dashrath looks in confusion at them. They bows their heads, feeling apologetic and seems to be like a culprit is standing.
BHARAT- we were not present near you, when you needed us the most. Ye anhoni hum hone se nahi rok paye...
Said Bharat getting emotional again while everyone looks disappointed. Dashrath forwards his hand and patted Bharat's shoulder lightly.
DASHRATH- jo hona tha, wo to hogaya mere baccho.. we don't know, if we will ever get them back or not...
Said Dashrath sighing in disappointment while Shatrughan holds his hands.
SHATRUGHAN- no papa.. please don't say that.
Dashrath looks at him while light tears were there in his eyes
SHATRUGHAN- we are your sons and we will never make you sad for anything.
Dashrath looks in confusion while Bharat and Shatrughan looks at each other.
BHARAT- papa... Hum jo bhi hua use badal to nahi sakte.. but the least we could do is... To bring our bhaiya bhabhi back..
Dashrath looks at him in wonder while everyone looks at each other.
SHATRUGHAN- ha papa.. hum aaj hi jayenge bhaiya bhabhi aur laksh bhaiya ko wapis lane.. and Ram bhaiya has to agree with us..
Dashrath smile at him lightly for his confidence. He forwards his hand near Shatrughan and lightly caresses his face.
BHARAT- you just allow us papa. We both will talk with bhaiya. We will convince him to return. Me unse... Unse mafi mangunga. And I'm sure he will accept my apology.
Said Bharat while fresh tears started forming in his eyes. Dashrath nods at them in agreement while Bharat and Shatrughan embrace him in a strong hug. Sumitra wipes her tears with a smile while the girls also smile looking at them. Bharat and Shatrughan leaves Dashrath and looks at Guru Vashisht. They bends to take his blessings.
BHARAT- hume ashirwad dijiye. That we get successful to bring this family together.
Guru Vashisht smile lightly at him and blessed both of them.
VASHISHT- khush raho..
He caresses both of their heads.
VASHISHT- mujhe tum dono se yahi umid thi.. jis ghar me bade bhai ko pita aur badi bhabhi ko maa saman pyar milta hai, waha Bharat Lakshman aur Shatrughan unhe dukh dekar apni khushiya nahi manayenge...
Dashrath felt proud as Vashisht says those words for his children. Sumitra smile and nods in agreement while the girls too felt proud of their husbands.
VASHISHT- Kranti ne jo kiya galat tha. Lakshman ne apni khushiyo ki chinta na karke, apne bhaiya bhabhi ka sath diya... Aur ab.. tum dono ka farz banta hai, unhe wapis lane ka.
Bharat and Shatrughan nods in agreement at him.
BHARAT- Guruji.. I request you to please accompany us.. aap sath honge to hamare liye bohot acha hoga..
Bharat requested Vashisht to accompany them to Delhi. Vashisht blink his eyes and nods in agreement. Bharat's eyes falls on Urmila who was silently watching them. He moves near her and smile lightly.
BHARAT- don't worry Urmila. I will get your husband back..
Urmila looks at him and lightly nods her head.
URMILA- mujhe meri puri family chahiye bhaiya..
Said Urmila asking him to bring Ram and Siya too. He nods his head in agreement and with confidence. He looks at his side where Manvi was standing. She smile assuring him to believe in himself. He sighed and looks at Shatrughan.
BHARAT- come on Shatrughan... Let's go..
Shatrughan nods in agreement and both the boys leaves with Guru Vashisht from there. Everyone watches them going and silently prayed for Ram Siya and lakshman's return...
*****
Bharat, Shatrughan along with Guru Vashisht reached at Rajrishi house. The Rajrishis welcome them by taking Guru Vashisht blessings first.
VASHISHT- aayushman bhava...
Bharat and Shatrughan takes the elder's blessings. Janak smile at him patting on his shoulders.
JANAK- congratulations on your first project Bharat.
Bharat streched his lips to smile lightly with a thanks. His eyes searches for Ram as he looks at the whole house. Suddenly he looks at Ram, Siya and Lakshman coming downstairs. Ram's eyes gets wet looking at his two brothers. While Bharat too gets emotional looking at Ram and Lakshman. In the next moment, Bharat runs towards Ram and embrace him tightly in a hug while Shatrughan runs towards Lakshman.
LAKSHMAN- kaisa hai chote..??
Lakshman asked him smiling while Shatrughan nods his head crying in his arms.
RAM- Bharat...
Ram whispered his name but Bharat was still crying holding his elder brother. Siya watches them feeling bad about their situation while the Rajrishis too looks in wonder. Lakshman and Shatrughan leaves each other and looks at Ram and Bharat. They embrace them together in a group hug while Ram caresses all of their heads.
RAM- bas.. Bharat Shatrughan... Bas karo..
Ram release them from the hug while the boys wipes their tears. Bharat and Shatrughan looks at Siya who was smiling at them.
SHATRUGHAN- bhabhi...
Shatrughan runs towards her and hugs her tightly, crying in her embrace while Siya caresses his back. She looks at Bharat who was looking at her apologetically. She streched her hand towards him to call him near her. While he hesitate to go near her. Finally he embraced her in a side hug while Siya caresses his face lightly. Lakshman wipes his tears watching them.
SIYA- kaise ho tum dono..? And what about your work.? Sab kuch ache se hogaya na.?
Asked Siya with a smile while Bharat and Shatrughan looks down, not answering her.
BHARAT- kya ache se hoga bhabhi..? When we get to know that our bhaiya bhabhi has left our house, then what good will happen..??
Siya's smile disappeared and she motioned her eyes to look at Ram. Bharat looks at her direction and moves towards Ram.
BHARAT- bhaiya.. you always say right, that we should always think before doing anything and before taking any decision.. to aapne khud bina soche samjhe itna bada decision kaise le liya..?
Bharat questioned him moving towards him while Ram didn't answer and kept on staring him.
BHARAT- maa ki .. ek galat soch ke wajah se.. aap ne itna bada decision le liya..? Unke galati ki saza aapne hum sabko kyu di bhaiya..?
Ram sighed and closed his eyes. Siya bows down understanding the emotional turmoil going inside Ram's heart. While the Rajrishis kept on listening to them without saying anything.
SHATRUGHAN- aur wo bhi kiske kehne par bhaiya..? Mandira Nani ke..?
Shatrughan interrupts them moving towards Ram.
SHATRUGHAN- you know how is she.. how can you fall for her play bhaiya..?
RAM- Shatrughan...
Ram stops him from saying ill about Mandira while Shatrughan nods his head apologetically. Lakshman looks down feeling angry about Mandira and Kranti.
SHATRUGHAN- I am sorry bhaiya.. but we are not that great as you.. agar hume kisi ke liye gussa ata hai to hum apna gussa jatate hai..
Said Shatrughan showing anger about Mandira while Ram nods his head in disbelief.
RAM- theek hai. Jata diya gussa.? Now not a single word against the elders.. understand..??
Ram warned him showing his index finger while Shatrughan shook his head. Bharat too looks in disbelief.
BHARAT- bhaiya.. jo hua we can't change that. Jo bhi hua wo nahi hona chahiye tha.. atleast you could have wait for us..
Bharat shows his disappointment while Ram said nothing.
BHARAT- aur Lakshman..
Bharat turns to face Lakshman who looks at his elder brother. He moves towards Lakshman and holds his shoulder.
BHARAT- you should have stopped bhaiya bhabhi. Kaise bhi, zidd karke, gussa hoke.. but you should have stopped them from leaving the house. But you...tum to khud unke sath chale aaye...
Bharat questioned him sounding angry while Lakshman looks at Siya for a moment. He again motioned his head to look at Bharat.
LAKSHMAN- me kya karta bhaiya.? That time, whatever seemed right for me, I have done that..
The Rajrishis look sad for all of them while Bharat nods in disbelief.
BHARAT- ye kaisi family hai hamari..?? Here everyone is thinking about each other..? Maa ne selfish hoke unke beto ke bare me socha.. bhaiya ne unke bhaiyo ke bare me socha..bhabhi ne ghar ke bare me socha.. Lakshman ne bhaiya ke, Urmila ne Lakshman ke, Manvi aur Shruti ne bhabhi ke bare me socha.. no one is thinking about themselves..??
Bharat said almost in one breath, taking his frustration out. Siya looks at him getting tensed and then at Ram to check his reaction.
RAM- Bharat.. shant hojao..
Ram asked him to keep quiet while Bharat looks at him.
BHARAT- me shant hi hu bhaiya.. and that's why we are here today..
Bharat moves towards Ram and holds his hands.
BHARAT- maa ne jo kiya, for that I apologise.. but please bhaiya.. ghar wapis chaliye..
Ram looks at him without any expression while Siya and Lakshman looks at each other. The Rajrishis too look at each other and then at Ram to get a positive response from him.
BHARAT- bachpan se leke aaj tak, aap ne hamare liye bohot kuch kiya hai. Now let us do something for you.. we want our bhaiya bhabhi back in our house.. hum aapko lene aaye hai bhaiya... Let's go back..
Ram smile at him lightly. He holds his shoulder and patted lightly. He sighed and looks into Bharat's eyes.
RAM- this is not possible Bharat..
Bharat's hope crashed hearing Ram. He gets a shock while Shatrughan too scrunched his eyebrows in shock. Siya and Lakshman watches them without saying anything.
RAM- siya and I.. are not coming back.. ye bat tum jitna jaldi samjho utna acha hai.. hum sab ke liye..
Bharat gets few steps back as Ram told him about his decision. His eyes gets wet hearing his disapproval to get back at Raghuvanshi palace. Shatrughan moves towards Ram.
SHATRUGHAN- kyu nahi bhaiya..? I know you are hurt because of maa.. but unki galati ki punishment aap hum sabko kyu de rahe hai..? Hum kyu apne bhaiya bhabhi se alag rahe..? Urmila bhabhi kyu Lakshman bhaiya se alag rahe..?
Shatrughan questioned Ram who was still looking at Bharat's reaction. He motioned his eyes to face Shatrughan. He smile at him and patted his face lightly.
RAM- I have not punished anyone Shatrughan. Tum logo ko aisa isliye lag raha hai, because you all love your bhaiya bhabhi so much. Ek bar sacchai accept kar lo, then it will be beneficial for all..
SHATRUGHAN- kaisi sacchai bhaiya..? Achanak aapko maa ki pointless bate itni sahi kaise lagne lagi..?
Shatrughan went his disappointment on Ram who sighed hearing his words. Shatrughan turns to look at Guru Vashisht.
SHATRUGHAN- Guruji.. ye bhaiya kya bol rahe hai..? You are understanding that.? Because meri samajh me sachme nahi araha..
Said Shatrughan while Vashisht looks at Ram. He looks at Janak who was quietly standing, watching all their talks. Shatrughan looks at his direction and went towards Janak.
SHATRUGHAN- tauji.. you are understanding Bharat bhaiya and my point of view right..??
Janak smile at Shatrughan and nods his head in agreement.
SHATRUGHAN- then please make bhaiya understand.. unse kahiye ki wo hamare sath chale..
Shatrughan requested him while he sighed looking down. He looks at Ram who was standing straight, with his hands at his back and staring in front. He motioned his eyes to look at Bharat who was still in shock, looking at floor with his eyes moist.
JANAK- I understand all of you Shatrughan..
Finally Janak breaks his silence turning towards Shatrughan, while he smile lightly at Janak.
JANAK- Siya apne ghar jaye, meri Urmila firse khush hojaye, to mujhse jyada khushi aur kisiko nahi hogi...
Said Janak looking at Siya who motioned her eyes to look at her father. Shatrughan too smile nodding his head lightly hoping that Janak will make Ram understand.
JANAK- but... Ram's silence is telling us n number of things..
Janak looks at Ram who was standing quietly while everyone followed his sight. Janak patted on Shatrughan's shoulder and moves towards Ram and Bharat.
JANAK- Bharat.. I understand your turmoil. Tumhe aisa lagta hai ki tumhare bhaiya tumhare wajah se ghar chodke gaye hai.. but.. it's not like that my child..
Said Janak holding Bharat's shoulder while he still was looking down, crying silently.
JANAK- Ram is just fulfilling his duties.. I suggest you too to return back and fulfill your bhaiya's wish. Accept the MD position at Raghuvanshi enterprises.
Everyone looks in surprise at janak's statement. Bharat closed his eyes while fresh tears started falling down his eyes. Shatrughan too looks in disappointment. Janak smile looking at the four brothers and moves towards Vashisht.
JANAK- Guruji.. dekhiye to.. how lucky Dashrath ji is.. to have four sons like them..
Said Janak with a proud smile while Vashisht nods at him in agreement. He looks at Ram, Bharat, Lakshman and Shatrughan who was standing quietly.
JANAK- we see real brothers fighting for property and distribution around ourselves. But look at these Raghuvanshi brothers, ye Dashrath ji ke hi to sanskar hai guruji.. aaj charo bhai.. ek dusre ke khushiyon ke liye lad rahe hai..
Said Janak proudly looking at them while Guru Vashisht gets tears of happiness. Ram turns his head to look at Bharat. He moves towards him slowly and was about to keep his hand on Bharat's shoulder.
RAM- Bharat...
Bharat leaves from there upstairs not allowing Ram to speak further. Ram looks disappointed while Siya looks at Bharat going. She smile lightly at the brothers and decided to talk with Bharat herself...
*****
Bharat was sitting in terrace, keeping both of his hands on the railing, looking down. He was disappointed because Ram has denied to return. He was not under how he is going to convince Ram. Siya enters the terrace having a tray in her hand. Lakshman and Shatrughan too follows her to the terrace.
SIYA- Bharat..
Bharat wipes his tears hearing Siya's voice. She keeps the tray on the table while Lakshman and Shatrughan stand near them.
SIYA- dekho.. you've returned from your first project na.. isliye mene halwa banaya hai..
Said Siya with a smile while Bharat didn't turned to face her. Lakshman and Shatrughan looks at each other and then at Siya. Ram too came there and stand at the door watching them.
SIYA- Lakshman Shatrughan.. jante ho.? You four brothers are exactly like each other.. charo ke sino me ek hi dil dhadakta hai..
Siya smile looking at Bharat for his reaction while he still didn't turned at her. Lakshman and Shatrughan smile hearing her..
SIYA- aaj peheli baar, mene aap charo bhaiyo ko, aise ladte hue dekha hai..
Siya smile looking at Bharat who turns in a half way to look at her. Lakshman smile nodding his head.
LAKSHMAN- bhabhi..jinse hum bohot pyar karte hai, narazgi bhi to unhi se jata sakte hai na..?
Said Lakshman looking at Bharat. Ram gets emotional as tears formed in his eyes.
SHATRUGHAN- yes bhabhi.. and we brothers love each other so much.. isliye ek dusre se naraz hone ka haq bhi jata sakte hai..
Said Shatrughan getting emotional. Siya smile at him and then looks at Bharat. He could not control himself more and runs towards Siya to embrace her in a hug. Siya smile sadly and caresses his back lovingly while Lakshman and Shatrughan smile looking at them. Ram wipes his tears from the corner of his eyes.
SIYA- Bharat.. meri bat suno..
She released him from the hug while he bows down infront of her. Siya smile and wipes his tears with her dupatta.
SIYA- ye kya halat bana rakhi hai Bharat.? You think if you behave like this then your bhaiya will get happy..??
Siya questioned him while he shook his head denying.
SIYA- I understand you and shatrughan very well. Tum tino apne bhaiya se bohot pyar karte ho. Aur unka sath chodkar tum logo ko aur kuch bhi nahi chaiye, property to bilkul bhi nahi. I know that..
Ram smile feeling proud of his brothers while Siya wipes Bharat's eyes to wipe the newly fallen tears.
SIYA- but try to understand the situation Bharat.. tumhare Ram bhaiya ne, apni khushi se ghar choda hai. Tum sabke liye ghar choda hai..
Lakshman bows down while Shatrughan too gets emotional hearing Siya. Bharat was still looking down saying nothing.
SIYA- tum MD banoge, Lakshman and Shatrughan will always be at your side. Isse jyada khushi ki bat unke liye aur kya hogi Bharat..?
Bharat lightly shook his head while Siya too gets light tears. Lakshman looks at Shatrughan who was crying and patted on his back. Ram smile hearing Siya's words.
SIYA- you three of them are his strength. Don't become his weakness, please..
Bharat motioned his head to look at her when he heard her please. Siya smile lightly and caresses his face.
SIYA- unhone bohot strong rehke ye decision liya hai Bharat. Be on his side, support him.. aur ghar laut jao...
Bharat gets new tears falling down his cheek while Lakshman and Shatrughan too were crying watching them.
SIYA- isse pehle ki wo kamzor pad jaye, tum apna farz nibhane ghar laut jao Bharat.. the whole Raghuvanshi enterprises needs you.. your Ram bhaiya needs your support.. please.. go and make your bhaiya proud..
Bharat closed his eyes and started crying while Siya caresses his face lightly. Her eyes falls on Ram who was coming near them. He holds lakshman and shatrughan from his two hands while they cried holding him. Siya wipes her tears and looks at Bharat who was staring Ram.
RAM- Bharat..
Ram whispered his name and opens his hand to call him towards him. Bharat runs towards him and embrace him in a hug. Lakshman and Shatrughan watches them wiping their eyes.
BHARAT- sorry bhaiya..
Ram caresses his back after his apologies. Siya takes a bowl of halwa and moves towards the brothers.
SIYA- Shatrughan..
Shatrughan wipes his tears and Siya feeds him a spoon of halwa. She pinched his cheek softly and turns towards Lakshman.
LAKSHMAN- me to kabse wait kar raha hu taste karne ke liye bhabhi..
Said Lakshman and opens his mouth so that Siya feeds him. Everyone giggles wiping their tears. Siya pinched his nose and feeds him the halwa.
LAKSHMAN- it's yum..
Said lakshman giving a flying kiss to Siya. She smile and looks at Bharat.
SIYA- lo Bharat.. yahi kya Kum hai..? Dur rehke bhi, hum saath saath hai...!!!
Said Siya and feeds Bharat a spoon of halwa. Everyone smile at her while Ram looks at her. Siya too turns to look at Ram and both of them smile at each other..!!
