"Kya kehna hai tumhe ?" Shri Ram asked, looking at his daughter who standing quietly since past few minutes after coming in his room.

"Um..." Rameshwari fiddled with her finger, seeming to be deep contemplation.

"Nisankoch hoke kaho." Shri Ram said.

"Kya mai vihaar pe jaa sakti hu ?" She asked in a whisper like voice.

At that a smile appeared on the face of Shri Ram, for it has been years since his Ramey wanted to go to vihaar.

"Awashya !" He beamed, "Sakhiyo ke saath Jaa Rahi ho ?" He asked.

"Ha aur.... Rajkumar Mrunmaye ke saath.... Unhone chalne ko pucha." She said, little nervously.

Shri Ram looked at her for a moment, his mouth got slightly parted. Is this what it seems to be ? Her shy and nervous stance was proving his suspicions.

"Suryast se poorv ajana." Shri Ram said.

At that Rameshwari looked at her father, her eyes were a little widened while he just gave her a smiling nod of assurance.

"Dhanyawad Pitashree !" She said with an excited smile.

She took her leave and then rushed straight to her bhavan, straight into the garden where Ulka and other maids were there, standing beside the swing, which hung from a tree.

"Kya kaha Samrat ne ?" Ulka asked.

"Pitashree meri har baat maante hai." Rameshwari said elated.

"Woh toh hai. Kintu kya aap Rajkumar Mrunmaye ke saath vihaar par jaane ke liye sajj hai ?" Ulka asked with a mischievous smile.

"Arthat ?" Rameshwari asked.

"Dekh ke toh murchit ho gayi thi aap." Ulka teased.

"Aise chidhao na Ulka." Rameshwari said looking sideways.

"Unke samaksh aapke gaal toh aise laal hote hai jaise surya ki lalima." Ulka said.

Rameshwari looked at her and then again diverted her gaze, causing Ulka to chuckle.

"Dekho abhi hi laal ho gaye." She said.

"Ulka !" Rameshwari whined as the paramsakhi began laughing.

The Ram-suta narrowed her eyes, knowing the teasing session wasn't going to end soon, hence she just climbed up the tree and sat over a strong branch, facing the other side.

"Rajkumari yeh kya ?" Ulka asked looking up.

"Yaha se tumhara swar kam sunayi deta tha." Rameshwari said folding her arms.

The maids chuckled while Ulka shook her head, her eyes then fell on the entrance of the garden where a certain someone was coming.

"Rajkumari dekhiye kaun aya hai." Ulka said.

Rameshwari rolled her eyes, before leaning backwards, hanging upside down from the branch. Her eyes met with Mrunmaye who took a step back, a shocked expression on his face.

"Rajkumar Mrunmaye ?" Rameshwari smiled.

"H-Ha." Mrunmaye said looking at the princess hanging upside down. To his relief, the princess soon came down from the branch, while the maids supressed their giggles seeing his expression.

"Kshama karna." Rameshwari said with heated cheeks.

"Kshama kis baat ki ?" The prince of Shripuram couldn't help but smile, "Ab yadi aap sajj hai toh vihaar par chale ?" He asked.

"Awashya." Rameshwari said dreamily looking at his smile, the smile of Yuddheswar, one of the rarest and most beautiful sights of this world. She'd swear to take a hundred births just to see that smile.

"Jiji !" The voices of Luv and Kush brought her out from her thoughts.

The twin brothers came running in, and stopped in their tracks seeing an unfamiliar tall man, with quite an alluring face and a gallant aura.

"Aap kaun ?" The twins asked.

"Shripuram-kumar Mrunmaye." He said.

"Oh. Pranam." The twins bowed their heads at the elder prince.

"Jiji, aap vyast hai kya ?" Luv asked.

"Ha, mai abhi Rajkumar Mrunmaye ke saath vihaar par jaa rahi hu." Rameshwari said.

"Vihaar par ?" The twins asked with an eager expression, seeing which Rameshwari sighed internally, knowing what was about to come.

"Jiji vihaar par jaa rahi hai Rajkumar Mrunmaye ke saath..." Luv said.

"Arthat, Rajkumar kya aap humari Jiji ke premi hai ?" Kush asked Mrunmaye whose eyebrows got raised.

"Toh fir aap humare Jija lage na ?" Luv asked excitedly.

The cheeks of Rameshwari turned a very visible shade of red with embarrassment whereas a smile appeared on the face of Mrunmaye.

"Jija ?" He asked.

"Ha." The twins nodded.

The smile on the face of Mrunmaye turned into a beaming grin as he took out two rings from his hand and handed them to Luv Kush.

"Yeh kis liye ?" The twins asked looking at the resplendent and extragant rings.

"Jija ki oor se rakh lo, priya Shyalo." Mrunmaye said smiling widely.

"Jijashree aap toh atyant udaar hai !" Luv said.

"Aur Sundar bhi !" Kush said.

Mrunmaye chuckled, patting their heads, the twins giggled.

"Arrey arrey ! Vivah nahi huya toh Jija Shyalah kaise ?" Ulka asked.

At that Mrunmaye frowned looking at her and so did the twins.

"Tum ab bhi bahut bolti ho." He said.

"Haw ! Rajkumari dekhiye !" Ulka exclaimed.

"Vihaar hetu chale !" Rameshwari said holding the arms of Ulka and dragging her out, as Mrunmaye followed behind with pout.

"Arrey jiji ! Thik se baat toh karne deti !" Luv said.

"Jijashree yeh toh bata dijiye aapke bhujaaye gada jaisi kaise hai ?" Kush asked.

"Rath uthaya Karo !" Mrunmaye said before heading out the door.

"Rath ?" Luv muttered looking at Kush.

"Waise bhujaye dekh ke toh lagta hai ki rath uthate honge." Kush said.

"Hmm. Lakshman chacha ka rath uthaye kya ?" Luv suggested with a grin.
