Urmila looked in the mirror as she slowly took away her jewellery. She smiled ruefully. How the day had started, how the day is ending. She remembered the laughter in the room when she was putting her solah sringaar getting ready for the special day. Now the room looked empty, the mirror showed her perfect face, but how could it see her broken heart. She looked at the palatial double bed, and the sofa on the side. The sofa where she used to wait till Lakshman came. She used to wait irrespective of however late he is. They used to talk about the day. Everything. But today. For whom she will wait, for the one who she is going to see after 14 years. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she slumped herself on the sofa
Guha's men had asked Lakshman to take a break from guarding Siya and Ram. They were at the banks of Sarayu. Next day they were supposed to cross it. Lakshman took water from Sarayu to wash his face and he saw the reflection of moon in it.
" Urmi where are you running"
" Arya today is poornima and you know how beautiful it is to see the reflection of full moon in water. Come with me to the garden. Let us see the reflection in garden pond"
They reached the garden and Urmila exclaimed seeing the full moon in garden pond. " Urmi why only full moon looks good "
" Arya when the moon is half there is something incomplete about it and if you see the incomplete reflection how can you feel happy. Reflection has to be always that of something complete"
Then she placed her head on his shoulders " Arya just like the half moon reflection doesn't look good, Urmila without you is like half moon, you make her shine like full moon". Lakshman cuddled his wife lovingly. It was not only her, he knew he was also like half moon without her.
Lakshman looked in Sarayu. It was half moon. " Urmi how true you were half moon doesn't look good, I wanted to tell you so many things, I wanted to cuddle you once, I wanted to relive once again all the moments of our marriage, but everything was half said, everything was half done. Forgive me my princess. Now my duty beckons me"
Urmila unable to sit in her room, came and sat near the garden pond watching the reflection of half moon. She will see it now, everyday because poornima will come in her life now after 14 years. Till that time she was like the half moon, everything about her adhura
