Siya had never been so restless before. What had happened to her? Even she didn't know. They reached home, and after her lunch Siya left for the University to finish off pending flies. Janak sat in his cabin calling the caterers. Just then, he was told someone had come to visit him. He sighed leaving his work and went out to the living room. He hoped it was not Mr. Rajrshi again. But no, here was someone else. Janak's face lit up on seeing them and he made them sit down. He said,"Ram, it is so nice to have you here!"
Ram and Lakshman got up from their seats and touched his feet. Janak stood up and blessed them and said,"My children, it is so nice to see values in today's children." Ram and Lakshman went to their places. Ram said,"No uncle. I feel it is our duty to pay the small respect that we as humans should pay to our elders. We actually arrived in Ayodhya, our native place yesterday. As soon Dad got your invitation he accepted it of course, but I wanted to come here and thank you for two reasons. One being, for sending the invitation and second for inviting us to see the AIM university also. It had always been one of my wishes to see this university, a place from where thousands of geniuses pass out every year." Lakshman thought to himself,'Thats why bhaiyya was so willing to come here.' Janak replied,"My child, this party is in honour of competition 300 years of establishment of our university. And my idea of inviting everyone to see the University is just to make everyone aware of what education can do in our lives. To show how far India has reached in education. And plus to fulfil some peoples wishes, like yours." All of them shared a laugh. The servant brought in tea for all and they were joined by Sunaina. She asked them how they were doing and if they were liking it in Agartala or not. "We love this place," replied Lakshman. Janak asked Sunaina,"Where are the children?" "They are coming to get the interiors done," came the reply. Just then, they heard a car stop at the front door. "Here they are", Janak said. "My daughters handle the University nowadays you know," he continued. Ram suddenly felt a beat go loud in his heart. He placed the tea cup on the table and got up to welcome them. Siya entered wearing a 3\4th hand floral dress and left her hair open. Urmila came behind her. Siya took off her shades and saw her parents standing there. There was someone standing behind them, only the arm was visible. Janak said,"Girls, these are our guests. They are the scions to the Ishvaku Group of Companies. " Janak moved, and revealed who they were. All their mouths fell. Urmila's fire fumed again. Siya lost herself again. "This man, is Lakshman Suryavanshi and this man here, the elder brother, is Ram Suryavanshi." Ram', Siya though to herself. Ram looked at her. Thats why he was feeling so weird. He could sense her. Sunaina said," And here our daughters. There is Shruti, and this Maanvi standing next to her. They are daughters of my brother in law, Kush Seerdhwaj. And this is Urmila and she is Siya, my eldest daughter. Urmila and Siya Seerdhwaj." Siya, Ram-Siya, thought Ram.
Janak and Sunaina walked out of the room to talk to the event manager standing outside, leaving a confused group of young people inside. Urmila walked up to Lakshman and said,"I am sorry. But it was not completely not my fault. And how did you reach here anyways?" Lakshman put his hands in his pocket and replied,"Ma'am, I know it was my chauffeurs fault also, and I apologise for that. But I didn't REACH here. I was brought here. We have been invited to the party also." Urmila's face dropped. Maanvi and Shruti apologised and pulled Urmila away. Lakshman sat down on the sofa . Ram and Siya stood there, looking around, standing in front of each other, trying to avoid eye contact. Ram took a deep breath and said,"You have a beautiful house." Siya replied,"Thank you. So, you will be attending the party right?" Ram nodded. "Very Good. I am sure you will have a good time here." She walked away, trying to hid her red cheeks. How she blushed! Ram sat on the sofa and told himself,'Ram-Siya. Siya-Ram. Not bad. But don't go too far, learn to respect her thoughts." Janak came back and asked,"Where did they go?" A servant replied,"Sir, they went to their rooms." Ram and Lakshman stood up to leave. They wished each other farewell. Back in the car, Ram kept silent all the way through. Janak and Sunaina, when bidding them away, thought to themselves,"They would be perfect. My blessings with them."
