"Dear , everyone take birth for some important purpose , when the motive is achieved then the person has to leave the world but Lakshman 's life motive is not completed yet , but , it will soon..", said Sita.
Urmila heard her with full concentration yet she was confused that what her sister actually wanted to say.
"Dear Urmila , you are no ordinary woman , you are Ksheera Sagar , you are Vimala , the milky ocean on which your husband Sheshnaag rests and on him I and World Protector MahaVishnu rests", said Sita showing her divine form of MahaLakshmi.
"And your husband Lakshman is incarnation of sheshnaag , your Sita didi is the incarnation of mine and your Ram bhaiya is the incarnation of MahaVishnu", said Sita as MahaLakshmi.
"You were the one who also asked us to join in our journey on earth to help us in anyway", said Mahalakshmi.
Urmila was left with her jaws open.
"I know , Urmila this is a bit unbelievable to you but I will show you the real and divine form of all of us", said Mahalakshmi.
Mahalakshmi pressed her thumb on Urmila's forehead to show her divine form of themselves.
Urmila realised her divine form with Lakshman , Ram , Bharat , Shatrughan.
"Greetings Jiji", bowed Urmila.
Mahalakshmi blessed her , " Now , will you join me my dear Ksheera ?"
"Yes , I will come with you , I will come Jiji", said Urmila in tears happily.
"Come , my dear Ksheera", said Mahalakshmi spreading her arms to her.
"Jiji", said Urmila hugging her and they both disappeared with a bright flashing light to vaikunth.
Next morning -
"Urmi.. Urmi.. Urmi ... wake up , it's bright morning now " , said Lakshman coming to her after fresh up and smiled at her Urmila who was sleeping but she was not actually sleeping.
"Urmi , wake up , you very well know , we have to go to temple", Lakshman sat besides her.
"Dear Urmi , wake up ," he touched her forehead.
Lakshman became dead scared , her body was freezing cold.
"Urmi.. wake up ".
"Urmi ... Urmila wake up ..." said Lakshman shaking her constantly.
"URMILA ... URMILA... WAKE UP , RAM BHAIYAAA !!", screamed Lakshman .
Everyone came inside including Ram , Bharat , Shatrughan , Mandavi , Shruthkirti and Luv ~ Kush.
"Bhaiya , Urmila is not waking up , her body is freezing cold ", said Lakshman crying to Ram.
"Calm down , Lakshman , Calm down", said Ram supporting Lakshman.
"CALL DOCTOR , FAST " , commanded Ram to one of servants.
Servant called Doctor and he appeared in room in no moment , the doctor checked Urmila's pulse and heartbeat and let his head down.
"I am sorry , Urmila is no more in this world", said Doctor.
Lakshman was numb , he wasn't able to cope up with what doctor said.
Everyone began crying on Urmila's sudden demise.
"Lakshman , Lakshman !!" , said Ram shaking him who was numb.
"URMILAAA", screamed Lakshman and he falls on floor devastated.
"Control yourself , Lakshman", said Bharat , Shatrughan and Ram holding him.
"URMILAAA , RAM BHAIYA , URMILAAA , WHERE DID SHE GONE LEAVING ME BEHIND?", said Lakshman crying in uncontrollable way.
"Pitashree , please control yourself ", sobbed Luv~Kush.
"URMILA , you can't go leaving me , you just can't , wake up Urmila , show everyone that you are absolutely fine", said Lakshman crying after taking Urmila's head on his lap and holding her hand.
"Lakshman!!", said Ram controlling him pushing his own tears aside to lose a dear sister like Urmila.
"Bhaiyaaa , Urmila can't go , she can't go", cried Lakshman heavily in Ram's arms.
"Lakshman , please control yourself", said Ram rubbing his brother's back.
"Lakshman !!!! Lakshman !!!!!".
Lakshman wasn't in a state to speak anything , he was shocked and depressed.
"BRING SOME WATER", ordered Ram holding him , shruthkirti brought some water in a glass .
Ram made Lakshman drink some water.
"Lakshman , I know and I can feel your pain but please control yourself for Urmila's sake , she would never like to see you in such state , please Lakshman", said Ram ruffling Lakshman's hairs.
Lakshman wiped his tears ,"Okay , Bhaiya".
Ram hugged him tightly and Lakshman cried very slowly.
Mandavi and Shruthkirti dressed Urmila like a bride before her funeral.
"Our time is also coming very fast , Shruthkirti ", said Mandavi while putting bangles in Urmila's hands.
"I know didi ", said Shruthkirti placing Urmila's maangtika on her middle parting of her hair.
"Did you have the same dream , Shruti ?", asked Mandavi.
"Yes , Didi", said Shruthkirti.
"URMILA MAA !!!! " all 6 princes screamed other than Luv ~ Kush .
6 young princes of Ayodhya together came back from their respective states when they got the news of dear Urmila's Maa death.
They all ran and hugged Lakshman who came inside the room. The sons cried with Lakshman silently supporting them.
Lakshman then put sindoor in the middle parting of Urmila's hair , all moments he spent with her flashed on his eyes , their first meet , their marriage , their separation , their reunion , birth of their sons , all the moments , his tears falls on Urmila's face but he wiped it off.
The funeral rites happened , when Angad Chandraketu were going to give fire to Urmila's pyre, Luv - Kush , Taksh-Pushkal , Shatrughati ~Subahu too came and joined them.
"Only her sons can do this act ", said priest.
"She was also our mother", said Luv.
"Yes , she also took care of us in the best way possible ... she was also our mother ...", said Kush.
"We will also perform as she was mother of all of us", joined Taksh~Pushkal and Shatrughati~Subahu.
They all gave fire to Urmila's pyre together.
Tears rolled from Lakshman's cheeks when he remembered his last night with her and all those little caring things and huge sacrifice she did for him , but , Ram completely understood his brother's heart and supported him by his shoulders. He felt the same pain again seeing Lakshman when he lose Sita many years back.
"May god bless your pure soul , you were great Urmila , you were great , you did a lot for us , you will be remembered for ages to come for your sacrifice and your devotion towards Lakshman and all of us..", said Ram joining his hands infront of Urmila's pyre smiling in tears.
Lakshman looked towards Ram with a gentle smile when he heard this.
Few days later -
"Lakshman , are you ok ?", asked Ram putting his hand on his shoulder .
"Yes Bhaiya ", said Lakshman forcing a smile.
"Lying again?" asked Ram.
"NO Bhaiya ", said Lakshman looking away.
"Then what is this ?", asked Ram wiping the lone tear that escaped from Lakshman's eyes.
Lakshman couldn't control himself anymore and burst crying in Ram's arms.
"Bhaiya , I miss my Urmi...", cried Lakshman.
"I know Lakshman , remember , when Sita left me , you were the one who consoled me , asked me to cry out loud , don't take it in heart , same situation is here , take it out whatever is burdening you", said Ram with a very gentle smile.
Hearing this , Lakshman cried out loud which lessened his pain which was bothering him from long back , Ram supported him by continuously rubbing his back because he knew now it was his turn to console him.
Time was repeating itself again but in different relations.
Years Later :
"So how was the journey on earth for you Shesha", asked Mahavishnu.
"Lord , with you , the journey for me was very memorable , the only painful thing was separation from you , Devi Mahalakshmi , Ksheera but see , we are reunited here again",said Lakshman who was Sheshnaag now in his original form.
"The fights which I have with Vimala on earth were my most favourite moments", said Shesha.
"Oh Ok", Ksheera showed her anger with strong waves.
"Oh..Sorry ... Sorry Vimala... ", said Shesha.
"Wherever they will stay together whether it is in vaikunth or on earth , they will always fight with each other", said MahaLaskhmi giggling.
Ksheera silenced her waves into a moderate one hearing this.
"And your love for Mahavishnu will never decrease..."said Sheshnaag in a teasing voice.
"Neverever", said MahaVishnu blushing.
"We teached a lot to the world anyway", said Bharat who was now a conch shell of MahaVishnu.
"Yes , I hope , that, world will learn from our sacrifices we did, togetherness , strong values we had on earth and we still have", said Shatrughan who was a sudarshan chakra of MahaVishnu.
"It will happen or if not , I will take another incarnation to teach the world , to protect the world", said MahaVishnu with a gentle smile.
"And I will join you ", said MahaLakshmi smiling.
"Lord , I will too", said Shesha bowing to him.
"Me as well", said Ksheera/Vimala with a very gentle movement of her waves.
Everyone smiled and enjoyed the reunion in Vaikunth after so many years...
THE END !!
