Hello everyone, hope you are enjoying the updates..
Here is today's part...
*
Bharat was in his room, standing, staring at the picture of the four brothers kept in front on table. He was having blank expressions, thinking nothing and just staring the photo frame. Ram was sitting on the chair while Bharat was sitting on the arm beside him, Lakshman was sitting down near his leg while Shatrughan was standing behind him. The brothers were having a smile on their face, ready for getting captured at that moment. Manvi enters the room and looks at him staring the photo. She sighed and moves towards the wardrobe to open it. The sound of door opening, made Bharat's concentration to break. He turns at his left side to watch her.
MANVI- Bharat.. what will you wear for puja.?
Asked Manvi with a smile while Bharat kept quiet staring her silently.
MANVI- everything is prepared, so you too get ready fast..
Said Manvi and shows him one royal blue color kurta with off white bottoms.
MANVI- will it do.?
Manvi showed him while he lightly nods his head. He again looks in front staring at the photo while Manvi keeps his clothes on bed. She thinks for a while and takes one of her saree from the cupboard.
MANVI- Bharat.. should I wear this.?
Bharat again looks at her direction and looks at her orange saree. He lightly nods his head, showing disinterest. Manvi looks at him getting tensed. She takes a jwellery set from wardrobe and moves towards him.
MANVI- suniye na.. saree ke sath ye set kaisa rahega.? Will it match.?
Asked Manvi holding his hand to turn towards her. Bharat closed his eyes getting irritated and answered her quietly.
BHARAT- do whatever you want Manvi..
Manvi gets sad hearing him. She keeps the set on the table nearby and looks at him.
MANVI- why are you behaving like this Bharat.?
Bharat sighed and gave a look at her.
BHARAT- then what should I do.?
He questioned her while she kept on looking at him.
BHARAT- Ye sab aaj jo ho raha hai, that was for my Ram bhaiya. But filhal wo ghar se bahar hai and I have to do this. Unka haq chinkar, Khushiya manau..?
Questioned Bharat getting hurt while Manvi sighed in disbelief.
MANVI- I am not asking you to celebrate.. but the least you can do is to smile..
Bharat turns to face other side while Manvi nods in disbelief.
MANVI- Bharat aapke aise behaviour se aap sabko tension de rahe hai. Papa Shatrughan Urmila.. they are trying to stay happy. But aapko aise dekh ke, they will feel depressed too..
Manvi tried to make him understand while he looks irritated and emotional at the same time. Manvi holds his hands and said politely.
MANVI- ye sab hamare liye bhi asan nahi hai. But still we have to do. Zindagi aise ek dukh ke wajah se ruk nahi jati Bharat.. you have to keep going to live.
Bharat closed his eyes as tears started forming in his eyes. Manvi observed his expressions and waited for him to react but he didn't said anything. She leaves his hand and looks at him in surprise.
MANVI- kya aapke life me jiju and dii ke life se jyada dukh hai ?
Bharat opens his eyes in a jerk and looks at her in wonder for her sudden question.
MANVI- they have left their family.. apne maa papa bhai behen se dur jakar reh rahe hai.. they don't have anyone with them..
Bharat thinks about Ram and Siya and the circumstances they are facing. He then looks at Manvi while she continued.
MANVI- kya aapke life me Lakshman and Urmila ke life se jyada dukh hai ? They have left each other..
Bharat bows down and feels bad about Lakshman and urmila's relationship. He goes in thoughts hearing Manvi.
MANVI- nahi na..? Aapke pas to family bhi hai aur me bhi hu Bharat. We are supporting you in every way possible...
Bharat hides his moist eyes looking at other side. Manvi smile at him lightly and turns him towards her to wipes his tears.
MANVI- aapko bhi, apne aas pas ke logo ke liye khush rehna chahiye.. apne bhaiya bhabhi ke liye khush rehna chahiye.. apne chote bhaiyo ke liye atleast you have to be happy Bharat..
Bharat motioned his eyes to look at her.
MANVI- we all are dependent on you. Please try to live for your family, atleast for jiju...
Bharat bows down thinking about her words. She watches him with a hope. He thinks about Ram's words, he wanted him to handle the business properly. He thinks about Siya's words who told him to support his big brother, to be his strength. Urmila and lakshman's sad face flashes in front of his eyes. Manvi kept on staring him and finally he wipes his eyes.
BHARAT- ya..you are right. Mere aise rehne se, I am hurting everyone.
Manvi smile at him lightly while he gulped feeling confident.
BHARAT- I have promised bhaiya. That I am going to handle everything till he returns. And I have to stay on my words..
Said Bharat looking at Manvi while she nods in agreement. He moves closer to her and holds her from shoulder.
BHARAT- me aapko bhi bohot taklif de raha hu Manvi.. I am sorry for my behavior.
Manvi shook her head lightly while Bharat smile at her.
BHARAT- me.. me pura try karunga.. to fulfill all my responsibilities..
Manvi sighed closing her eyes. Bharat forwards his hands towards her and cups her face while she opens her eyes to look at him.
BHARAT- promise me.. that you are there for me always.. you are not going to leave me..
Bharat requested her while she smiles at him. Manvi nods her head in agreement. She takes his hand in her and pecks on it.
MANVI- I am there for you.. forever...
Bharat smile and kissed her forehead while she closed her eyes. He looks at her and moves closer to her. He lightly bends and kiss her corner of lips while she opened her moist eyes.
BHARAT- thank you for everything..
Manvi's smile widened and she embraced him in a strong hug. While Bharat sighed and closed his eyes feeling her near him...
*****
The arrangements for Puja was done in Raghuvanshi palace. Kranti personally took care of everything, though no one was talking with her, still she managed to guide everyone. Sumitra and Shruti brought the prasad from the kitchen and hands it to Guru Vashisht who was sitting in front of god's idol for performing puja.
VASHISHT- sumitra... Bharat ko bula lao..
Sumitra nods at him and turns to find Bharat and Manvi coming downstairs. Kranti smile looking at them.
SUMITRA- aao Bharat, tumhe aur Manvi ko sathme puja karni hai..
Bharat's heart ache hearing this. At that moment he just wanted to run from there near his Ram bhaiya. Manvi observed his expressions and understood that he doesn't want to attend the puja.
RAM- Bharat...
Bharat's face glow hearing Ram's voice. Everyone turns towards Shatrughan who was carrying his phone. They smile looking at Ram and Siya through video call.
BHARAT- bhaiya..
Bharat smile looking at Ram and Siya. Urmila tried to search for Lakshman but he was not with them. Kranti too wanted to look at them but Shatrughan didn't bothered to take his phone near her. For which she felt bad.
RAM- chalo Bharat.. puja me betho..
Bharat nods his head lightly. He looks at Manvi and she too nods her head. Both of them sat infront of God, besides Guru Vashisht. He smile at both of them lightly and started chanting the mantras.
VASHISHT- वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय
सूर्य कोटी समप्रभा,
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव
सर्व-कार्येशु सर्वदा..
Guru Vashisht started with the puja while everyone sat surrounding them joining their hands. Kranti smile and prayed to God for her children's happiness.
KRANTI- hey bhagwan, mere charo baccho ko, bahuo ko hamesha khush rakhna...
She opens her eyes with a smile while Ram and Siya also smile looking at Bharat. Urmila looks for Dashrath but didn't find him.
URMILA- choti maa.. where is papa.?
Urmila whispered at Sumitra who gave a don't know expression. She excused herself and went to look for Dashrath who was now living in guest room.
URMILA- papa..??
Urmila knocks the door as Dashrath was resting himself on arm chair. He opens his eyes to look at Urmila.
DASHRATH- Urmila.. kya bat hai beta..?
Urmila smile at him and moves towards his direction.
URMILA- what are you doing here.? Chaliye.. puja shuru hogayi hai..
Dashrath smile lightly and shook his head denying.
DASHRATH- me.. me yahi rahunga..
Urmila scrunched her eyebrows in confusion.
URMILA- why papa. ? Sab log bahar hai. Jiju and dii also are on video call.
Dashrath gets happy hearing her about Ram and Siya. He gets up from his place but at the other moment stopped himself.
DASHRATH- no Urmila.. I can't...
He bows his head down and feels disappointed. He turns his back at her and keeps his hands at his back.
DASHRATH- I can't face.. Ram.. I don't have that confidence to face them..
Urmila feels sad hearing him. She moves towards him and keeps her hand on his shoulder.
URMILA- theek hai papa. You don't have that confidence to face them now.. but.. what after that..?
Dashrath looks at her questioning while she smile lightly.
URMILA- kitne din aap aisa karenge.? Kabhi na kabhi to apne Ram aur Siya se bat karni hi hogi na..
Questioned Urmila while Dashrath goes in thoughts about his behaviour.
URMILA- dii and jiju doesn't blame you papa. Infact they don't blame anyone.. fir aap bhi, khudko blame mat kijiye..
Urmila requested him while he turns completely to face her. He takes her hands in his while Urmila watches him.
DASHRATH- ok. Ram and Siya doesn't blame me or anyone else. But what about you.?
Urmila's eyes gets wet again after hearing him.
DASHRATH- tum karti ho hum me se kisiko blame..?
Urmila gulped her tears not allowing them to fall. She smile at him and shook her head denying.
URMILA- mere mann me kisi ke liye koi blame nahi hai papa...
Dashrath looks at her in wonder. He thought that she must be angry with him and must be blaming Raghuvanshi family for her condition.
URMILA- me maa se gussa ho sakti hu, naraz ho sakti hu. But I can't forget that she is our mother... Aur fir, baccho ka itna haq to hota hai na papa ki wo apni maa se narazgi jataye..??
Asked Urmila while Dashrath smile and nods in agreement. His tears falls from his eyes while Urmila wipes them.
URMILA- you should feel proud of all your sons. Aapko kisise nazre churane ki zarurat nahi hai papa. Because whatever your sons are doing for each other, those all are your upbringings..
Urmila tried to explain him to not blame himself for anything. Dashrath smile and caresses her head.
DASHRATH- thank you.. to make me feel better..
Urmila streched her lips to give him a light smile and nods lightly.
URMILA- ab chale..? Aapke bina puja kaise hogi.?
Dashrath nods in agreement while Urmila takes him in the living area. Dashrath watches Bharat and Manvi performing the puja and shatrughan takes his phone towards him.
DASHRATH- Ram... Siya..
Dashrath smile looking at Ram and Siya while they too became happy.
RAM- how are you papa.?
DASHRATH- theek hu beta.. bas tum sab bhi ache se raho..
Kranti looks at them without any expression while Ram and Siya nods in agreement.
VASHISHT- puja sampanna hui...
Said Guruji after some time. Bharat and Manvi joins their hands and gets up from their place.
VASHISHT- Bharat manvi.. sabhi bado ka ashirwad le lo...
Bharat and Manvi nods and takes Guru Vashisht blessings first.
VASHISHT- khush raho..
They moves towards Dashrath and smile looking at him. He holds both of them from shoulder and smile at them. They bends to take his blessings.
DASHRATH- god bless you..
Kranti smile at them and hoped that they will move towards her. Bharat takes Manvi near Sumitra, ignoring Kranti. Ram and Siya looks in surprise at his ignorance towards Kranti while everyone observed kranti's reaction. Bharat and Manvi takes sumitra's blessings.
SUMITRA- bas.. khush raho..
Sumitra caresses both of their faces. Sumitra looks at kranti and then at Bharat.
SUMITRA- Bharat..
He looks at her while she indicates him to take kranti's blessings. Bharat lightly shook his head denying while Sumitra holds his hand and request him through her eyes. Bharat and Manvi moves towards Kranti while she smile at them. They both were about to bend when Kranti stops them.
KRANTI- bas bas.. god bless you..
Kranti was about to touch Bharat's face but he steps back not allowing her. Kranti gets surprised looking at his reaction while Ram and Siya too look at each other. Dashrath didn't said anything watching his hatred towards his mother.
DASHRATH- Bharat...
He turns to look at Dashrath.
DASHRATH- tayar hojao, office jane ke liye. From today you are going to handle everything being the MD.
Bharat nods lightly not showing any happiness while Kranti smile hearing this. Bharat takes the phone from Shatrughan.
BHARAT- bhaiya.. bhabhi.. ashirwad dijiye..
Ram and Siya smile at him.
RAM- wo tumhe mangne ki zarurat nahi hai mere bhai.. we are always by your side...
Bharat smile emotionally hearing him. While Kranti just bows down her head saying nothing.
RAM- ab tum jao, and khup mann lagakar kam karo. Make papa proud of you.. ok.?
Bharat nods his head in agreement. Ram disconnect the call making Kranti to wonder as she thought he will ask about her to anyone. Bharat looks at Shatrughan giving his cellphone back.
BHARAT- chalo Shatrughan.. get ready..
Shatrughan nods his head while both the brothers leaves from there to their respective rooms to get ready. While the girls started distributing the prasad amongst all.
VASHISHT- Dashrath... Mere bhi Ayodhya jane ka samay horaha hai..
Dashrath looks in wonder. He moves towards Guru Vashisht.
DASHRATH- but guruji.. abhi.? We all need you at this time of our family..
Vashisht smile at his words. He patted on Dashrath's shoulder.
VASHISHT- tumhare sath tumhare char bete hai. Tumhe kisiki zarurat nahi hai Dashrath.
Dashrath feels disappointed while Guru Vashisht smile at him.
VASHISHT- dhairya rakhna.. sab theek hojayega..
Dashrath nods at his words in agreement. Vashisht looks at Kranti who was staring them hearing their talks. Vashisht moves towards Kranti while she bows down.
VASHISHT- ek kahawat tumne suni hogi Kranti... Vinash kale vipareet buddhi...
Kranti looks at him suddenly hearing his words while everyone looks in wonder.
VASHISHT- iska matlab hai, jab kisi insan ka vinash hona hota hai tab uski buddhi ulti disha me kam karna shuru kar deti hai.
Kranti was getting tears as she understood what he is trying to say about her. Dashrath looks angry towards her while Sumitra nods her head lightly in disbelief.
VASHISHT- is par vichar zarur karna. Mera ashirwad hai tumhare sath.
Said Guruji keeping his hand on her head while she joins her hand in front of him accepting his blessings. He leaves from there in his room while Dashrath follows him. Kranti looks at the girls and they started continuing their work ignoring her. She looks at Sumitra who was staring her.
KRANTI- sumi...
SUMITRA- girls...
Kranti was about to call her sister but Sumitra interrupts her looking at the girls.
SUMITRA- I have some work of NGO. That's why I am in my room. Kuch ho to mujhe batana..
The girls nods at her while she leaves in her room giving a look at Kranti. Kranti feels bad about her situation as no one was talking with her. She gets sad and moves towards her room...

Bharat enters the office while the staff members and employees claps for him to congratulate. He can see the pain behind their happiness and smile, as they were expecting Ram to be their head.
"Welcome Sir"... Said everyone together while Bharat streched his lips to smile lightly at everyone. Sumant moves towards him with a bouquet in his hand.
SUMANT- accept this from all of us Bharat.
Said Sumant with a smile and Bharat takes the bouquet from him. Sumant indicates him to walk while He gulped and started moving towards the cabin. Shatrughan and Sumant follows him. Bharat stops at the door and looks at the nameplate on the door which says- "Managing Director". Bharat bows down feeling disappointed and shatrughan keeps his hand on his shoulder.
SHATRUGHAN- come on bhaiya.
Bharat nods lightly and opens the door of the cabin. He looks at the whole cabin and the flower bouquets which were kept to congratulate him. He put his foot forward and enters the cabin while Shatrughan and Sumant follows him. Bharat forwards his hand at Shatrughan while he gave a photo frame to Bharat. It was the same photo of the four brothers together. Bharat smile at the photo and kept it on the table. Sumant smile at his dedication towards his brothers.
SHATRUGHAN- bhaiya.. look at this, bhabhi has sent this for you..
Said Shatrughan showing him a bouquet of white tulip flowers. Bharat takes the flowers and smile emotionally looking at them.
SHATRUGHAN- and.. this is from bhaiya..
Said Shatrughan showing him a greeting card. Bharat gets happy looking at the card.
SHATRUGHAN- bhaiya has asked me to read the message for you. So shall I..?
Shatrughan asked his permission while Bharat nods allowing him. Shatrughan opens the card to read the message-
"Many many congratulations Bharat. Aaj me bohot khush hu, mere bhai apne life me kuch naya aur important shuru karne ja rahe hai. All the best to you and shatrughan for this"
Shatrughan stops in between and looks at Bharat who was smiling looking at the greeting. Shatrughan looks at the card and continued reading.
"Shatrughan, today Bharat is appointed as managing director, aaj sara din uske sath rehna. Waise to, you've to stay with him always, but specially today, do not leave him alone..."
Bharat gets emotional hearing Ram's words while Shatrughan too stops, getting something in his throat. Sumant sighed smiling and bows his head down.
" Our Bharat is very simple, very quiet. Uske ye shant behavior ko, we have always underestimated, taken it as his weakness. Sach kahu, to ye uski strength hai. I believe, tum dono milkar waha sabkuch sambhal loge. Yours Ram.."
Shatrughan completes reading the letter and motioned his eyes to look at Bharat. He forwards his hand to give the card to Bharat while he accepts it with smile. Bharat moves towards the chair opposite to the boss's chair and rests himself there making Shatrughan and Sumant confused.
BHARAT- Sumant ji.. which formalities are left.?
Sumant nods and takes a file near Bharat. He opens the file in front of him while Bharat started signing the papers.
SUMANT- Bharat.. should I ask you something.? If you don't mind..?
Sumant takes his permission while Bharat looks at him smiling lightly allowing him to speak.
SUMANT- Ram ne apni sari zimmedari tumhe saup di hai. His best wishes are always with you.
Bharat smile hearing him while he looks at Shatrughan for a moment. He continued looking at Bharat.
SUMANT- Dashrath sir's blessings are with you. You youngest brother Shatrughan is with you..
Said Sumant while Shatrughan was staring them. Bharat kept on signing the papers, listening his words.
SUMANT- then.. why you are sitting here..?
Asked Sumant looking at him sitting on the front chair while Bharat stops in between. Shatrughan too looks at Bharat.
SUMANT- MD ka cabin tumhara hai, ye chair tumhari hai. Apne chair pe kyu nahi bethte beta..?
Questioned Sumant further while Bharat smile at his words. He completes signing his papers and hands the file to Sumant. He gets up and moves towards the boss's chair.
BHARAT- Sumant ji.. bhale hi I have accepted this position, but iss par hamesha Ram bhaiya ka haq rahega.
Shatrughan and Sumant gets surprised hearing him while Bharat lightly caresses the chair.
BHARAT- jab bhi wo wapis aayenge, jis din bhi, unhe sab waise ka waisa milega. Everything waiting for him, for his return...
Said Bharat getting emotional and smiling sadly while Shatrughan smile proudly at his brother's love. Bharat looks at Sumant and smile.
BHARAT- I am just serving for his position Sumant ji. Inn sab par hamesha bhaiya ka hi haq rahega...
Sumant smile at his words. He moves towards Bharat and patted on his shoulder lightly.
SUMANT- I am with the Raghuvanshis ever since Dashrath sir has started this business. I have seen Ram's birth, I have seen him loosing his mother...
Bharat quietly listened to Sumant while Shatrughan feels sad for Ram.
SUMANT- I have seen all three of yours birth, I have seen you all grow together. Tum sabka pyar, ek dusre ke liye respect, these all things I have witnessed..
Said Sumant looking at Shatrughan while he smile at him lightly.
SUMANT- isliye ek bat keh sakta hu.. aise bhaiyo ke bich ka pyar, I have not seen anywhere in this whole world...
Bharat smile hearing sumant's praises while Shatrughan too smile proudly. Sumant caresses Bharat's head lovingly.
SUMANT- we all will together wait for Ram. Aur tab tak, we all are here to help you so that you serve for your big brother..
Bharat gets happy hearing Sumant and his support. He nods his head in agreement while Sumant turns to leave. He stops at Shatrughan and caresses his back too.
SUMANT- take care of your bhaiya.
Shatrughan nods at him in agreement and he leaves from there. Shatrughan moves towards Bharat and embrace him in a hug.
BHARAT- Shatrughan..?
Bharat questioned him about his sudden reaction while Shatrughan kept on hugging him.
SHATRUGHAN- I am proud of you bhaiya..
He whispered while Bharat smile at his words. He caresses his younger brother's head lovingly while Shatrughan looks smiling having moist eyes...
