chapter 21

Mandvi, who was sleepy, tried to get up but could not get up from her. The whole body was hurting, the body temperature had also increased, tried to get up, but the body was not cooperating. She looked at Bharat with stern eyes, but Bharat was sleeping soundly. Mandvi got up, drank water, but she was vomiting. Hearing the sound of vomiting, Bharat got up. He handled Mandvi, seeing fever in the body immediately called Rajvaidya.

Rajvaidya gave medicine and asked to stay away from stress completely. After giving medicine to Mandvi, the royal doctor had gone, Bharat also left the room and went to Mata Kaikeyi. He told Mata Kaikeyi about Mandvi's condition. Seeing Mother Kaikeyi Bharat, expressing disgust towards Mandvi, said,

"She will not die anywhere. If there are children, then such a situation happens."

Saying this, Kaikeyi walked towards Sita's room, asked Sita's well being and advised her to eat well and then went to Urmila's and Shrutkirti's room, advised to take care of herself. She did not even try to peep into Mandvi's room and went to her Raj Prasad.

Bharat also started walking in the garden with a sad heart.

When Mandvi felt some relief, she opened her eyes and looked around the room, there was no one with her. Her mind was troubled, lines of sadness could be clearly seen on her face. Suddenly her eyes fell on the unnamed gift from which the smell of perfume was reminding her of someone, she got up from the bed, she latched the door, in the silence spread in the room she opened the gift, she found a wonderful diamond, a box. Found in. Taking that diamond in his hand, when he saw it, he saw only the image of that young man, even when he looked back, he saw the image of the same young man.

His body started trembling. She could not forget the young man and seeing the present he had sent today, she was convinced that he too was not able to forget her.

In this, the sound of knocking on the door came, she got up in a flurry, then the diamond was released from her hand, tears came out of her eyes. Still, when she opened the door, the maid was standing with food. She took the plate from the maid and asked her to leave. She put the food on the table and closed the door and started crying bitterly. Seeing the sign of her love broken, her heart was going to pieces. The entire pillow was drenched with tears, but there was no one to understand her pain. The food had become cold, she had not broken a single mouthful.

She closed her eyes, went to her beloved under the same tree in Kalpana Lok where she kept her head in her beloved's lap and started looking at him. Sometimes both smiling, sometimes laughing, remembering their bygone days, sometimes Mandvi would sob remembering her pain, it was evening.

Mandvi and the youth went towards their respective homes. Bharata was seen standing at the gate of the palace, anger was clearly visible from his face. Looking at Mandvi with a disregarded expression, she said,

"Where did you go?"

Even before Mandvi could speak, the sound of someone shouting came in the palace, her sleep was broken.

When she looked down from the window, King Janak and Kushadhwaj had come to the city of Ayodhya to celebrate the happiness and growth of the dynasty through their daughters in the palace.

There was happiness all around. Everyone started giving him hospitality, he was being welcomed with drums. Both were eager to see their daughters.

The maidservants were giving information to Sita, Mandvi, Urmila and Shrutkirti by running away. The four princesses jumped with joy, they came running and hugged their birth parents. Tears flowed from the eyes of the kings with joy.

When King Janak, after meeting Sita, hugged Mandvi and asked,

"O daughter, why is your face without glow? The filthiness is clearly visible on your face. You are not in any trouble, are you?"

Mandvi tried her best to stop the flow from her eyes and said,

"I'm fine."

There was satisfaction on the faces of Urmila and Shrutkirti, everyone started laughing and laughing.

It was time for King Janak and Kushadhwaj to leave, the daughters clinging to their chests started crying. The king had left.

Everyone was very happy today, there was an atmosphere of enthusiasm in the house, Mangal(happiness) songs were being sung. The whole city was not happy in the happiness of the children of the princes.

Time was passing fast.

King Ram was running his kingdom smoothly, everyone was living happily in the whole city, from time to time, King Ram used to visit his city and try to know the happiness and sorrow of the residents there. There is a hail of King Ram everywhere. There no person could even dare to commit a sin, Prajapalak Ram was known all over the world like an ideal man.
