"Keshav, did Shri Ram come to know of it ?" Sehdev asked.

"Yes, he did." Krishna said.

------

A dark skinned divine youth was sitting on the couch near the balcony of his room with his lotus feet up, being massaged by another light-skinned youth. Both were around 23, born just few moments apart.

"Ram Bhaiya, what are you thinking about ?" The light-skinned youth asked.

"Laxman, have you ever felt so lost in the world, that even though there are people around, you still feel alone ?" Shri Ram asked.

"I feel that everytime when I am not around you. After all you are my everything Bhaiya." Laxman said.

Shri Ram smile as he patted Laxman's back.

"I am blessed to have gotten a brother like you." Shri Ram said.

"Blessed we three brothers are to have you. And what was it that you were saying ?" Laxman asked.

"That the feeling of loneliness is now no more in my heart." Shri Ram said.

He caressed his heart and as he did that, in Janakpur Janki who was standing in the balcony felt someone caressed her cheeks. She frowned at that.

"Must be the winds." She shrugged it off.

Janki looked at the moon and remembered what Mata Mahakali had said about Shashi being Chandradev. Seeing the moon she remembered the words her brother had told her.

"I am always with you. I will be whenever you need me." Shashi said.

"Why are you speaking like that Bhaiya ?" Janki asked frowning.

"You will know soon." Shashi said.

He smiled sadly and then patted her forehead.

"You will find me again." He smiled backing away.

"So this is what you meant ?" Janki asked.

Suddenly moonlight from the moon gathered and took form of a man, who bowed in front of her.

"Pranam Devi." Chandradev said.

"Pranam Bhaiya." Janki greeted.

"A supreme goddess like yourself has considered me her brother..... What more could I ask for ? Thus today I make a promise." Chandradev smiled.

"A promise ?" Janki asked.

"Whenever you need me devi, I will be at your service. Just look up in the sky and order me anything. As your brother it will be my duty to fulfill it." Chandradev said.

"Thank you." Janki smiled.

Chandradev bowed one last time to her before disappearing. Janki sighed, in an unknown yet known world, at least she has her brother with her.

"Didi ! Didi !" Three girls came running into the room.

Janki turned around and saw her sisters Mandavi, Urmila and Shrutkirti. The youngest sister came towards holding her hand and taking her to the bed.

"Didi, are you well now ?" Shrutkirti asked making Janki sit down on the bed.

"Yes, I am completely well." Janki smiled.

"That's good. We were so worried for you Didi." Mandavi said sitting behind her.

Urmila smiled and came towards her, she sits down in front of Janki, putting her sister's feet on her lap and started massaging it.

"Urmila..." Janki held her hand.

"What happened Jiji ? Are you upset with me ?" Urmila asked with a worried expression.

"No. Why would I be ?" Janki asked.

"Then why are you not letting me earn merit by doing your service ?" Urmila asked.

And then it hit Janki that Urmila was a devoted sister of Sita and was always there at her service.

"You don't have to do it." Janki said.

"Why Sita didi ? I have massaged you feet every night.... Don't deprive me from the service of your lotus feet." Urmila said and again started massaging her feet.

"Sita didi, you must be tired." Mandavi said making Janki lie down with her head on her lap.

Mandavi started caressing Janki's head as Shrutkirti fanned her and Urmila massaged her feet. Janki smiled at the three, with their humility and sense of service they had made their place in her heart.
