Deed-198: Showed us all!!!

{ March 2024 A.Y. Yokai Realm, inside Naimisha Kingdom's Palace }

[ Inside Courtroom ]

[ Ram sits on his throne and orders them all to be seated too ]

[ Ram later orders his Ministers and Advisors to write letters to Barfi, Ban, Sri Hari, Vajra, Lord Aryan, Lord Pavan and The Great Emperor about his condition ]

[ Ram orders his courtroom members not to let his citizens know that he has died. Instead, tell them all that their Lord has gone on an adventure or to avenge Lord Chand by fighting alongside his sons Sri Hari and Vajra ]

[ Ram looks at his queens and gives them the authority to be in charge of the kingdom and when they feel that they can't handle such responsibility, at that time make Gunaniddhi the king ]

[ On listening to Ram's words, everyone starts getting sad, lonely, depressed and their tears wet their clothes ]

[ Ram looks at his Ministers and Advisors with contentment and thanks them all for serving him and always being his well-wishers ]

---

[ Ministers and Advisors fall down at Ram's feet and start crying out loud ]

Ministers and Advisors: Lord, please don't make us orphans by leaving us!!!

Ministers and Advisors: You are the father of this nation! You showed us all what it means to be a king, you showed us all what kindness looks like, you showed us all what humility and patience look like!!!

Ministers and Advisors: You had the strength to destroy everything, yet you chose peace every time!

Ministers and Advisors: You have shown us what trusting others means! You showed us what true strength looks like! We used to think that the more strength you have, the more powerful you are!!!

Ministers and Advisors: But forgiving others needs the greatest strength ever!!! Forgiving everyone as if they are your children is not a thing which everyone can do!!!

Ministers and Advisors: We thought that fear is of punishments! But you showed us all that real fear is of losing talks with our loved ones!

Ministers and Advisors: The thought of us being unable to talk with you or smile with you, the thought of you avoiding us, made us all frightened to the core!!!

Ministers and Advisors: You showed us all that discipline and punctuality aren't to be followed because of fear of punishments, but because of love towards them and the one who gave us that task by entrusting us!!! You inspired us all to do our responsibilities and jobs perfectly!

Ministers and Advisors: You taught us that there are a lot more things to learn and we are all just infants! Lord Ram, you had everything to be proud of and become arrogant! Yet, you chose love and kindness by forgiving your inferiors!!!

Ministers and Advisors: My Lord!!! It was an honor serving you!!! It's us who are grateful for serving you!!! It was all our pleasure, my Lord!!!

Ministers and Advisors: All we did to you was throw our burdens upon you!!! If possible, please forgive our incompetence, and please never hate us all, our Lord!!!

[ Ram stands and hugs his Ministers and Advisors one by one ]

[ Ram's chest gets wet with their tears ]

[ Queens, Princes, Princess and Vidhur look at Ram with pride and contentment ]

[ The Ministers and Advisors hug Lord Ram tightly, and they all cry out loud on Ram's chest with pain, as they don't know when they would see their Lord again ]

[ Ram smiles and pats them all and talks with them all for an hour ]

[ Ram after talking with them for a while, stands up and leaves for his afternoon Sandhya Vandan ]

[ Ram does his afternoon Sandhya Vandan along with Vidhur, princes, princess, queens, Ministers and Advisors ]

[ After his Sandhya Vandan, while returning to the palace, Sunshine and Honey walk while holding Ram's arms and hugging him. Suddenly, his pancha gets on fire ]

[ Ram smiles and orders his children, Ministers, Advisors and Vidhur to go away ]

[ Yet, they approach Ram to put out the fire ]

[ Ram shouts with anger and rage ]

Ram: You dare to defy my orders!?!

[ On hearing those words, Angel, children, Ministers, Advisors and Vidhur stand still and look at their Ram ]

[ While Ram is burning, Sunshine and Honey hug him and cry on his burning body ]

[ Ram requests them to leave, yet they hug Ram tightly and look at him with love ]

[ Bhaat ]

[ Flashing light in the sky ]

[ Thunder falls on Ram ]

[ As soon as that thunder falls on Ram, his queens turn into ashes in an instant ]

[ Ram sighs while everyone gets frightened, confused and sad ]

Ram: I am sorry! I was unable to protect you all!!!

[ Angel, Charu Hashini, Gunaniddhi and Sampath scream and cry. They try rushing towards Ram, but Ministers, Advisors and Vidhur stop them from approaching Ram ]

[ Ram is still on fire. Lightning and thunder start falling upon him continuously ]

[ Vidhur, Ministers and Advisors look anxiously towards Ram, as they have to make sure to capture Ram's soul ]

[ It is hard to see that, as Ram is being tormented and all that they are doing is watching their Lord suffer, but they have to look so that Lord's soul doesn't escape ]

[ Angel cries out on seeing Ram suffer ]

Angel: BHAGWAN SRIMAN NARAYANA!!! Please save my husband!!!

Angel: Please don't torture him like this! Please BHAGWAN!!!

[ Angel screams out with pain ]

[ Akashvani speaks from the sky ]

Akashvani: Dear Angel!

Akashvani: Ram won't die until and unless you kill him with your dagger!

Akashvani: If you choose not to kill him, then these lightnings will continue falling on him and torture him!!!

Akashvani: It's all your call to make!

Akashvani: The sooner you use that dagger, the less painful Ram's departure will be!!!

[ Akashvani stops speaking and disappears ]

[ Angel cries out with rage and anger ]

Angel: How could I ever kill him!?!

Angel: If I don't, then he would suffer! If I kill him, how can I continue living!?!

[ Charu Hashini with a sad and broken tone shouts ]

Charu Hashini: Maa! Dad is suffering!

Charu Hashini: Please, save him from his misery!!!

Charu Hashini: Akashvani said that Dad will depart! It means he won't die!!!

Charu Hashini: So, he will be back! Please do the honors of relieving Dad from his pain! You aren't killing Dad!!!

Charu Hashini: You are helping him! So, please save him from his pain!

Charu Hashini: Use the dagger, Maa!!!

Charu Hashini: Please save Dad!!!

[ On seeing Ram suffer with pain, hearing the sounds of thunder and lightning, the words of Charu Hashini make Angel take out her dagger ]

[ Angel while making the rainwater salty with her tears, walks towards Ram ]

[ Ram smiles ]

Ram: I love you!!!

Ram: Go ahead!!!

[ Angel cries out and stabs Ram's heart with her dagger while closing her eyes ]

[ While Angel is stabbing him with her dagger, Ram looks at his queens' ashes, Angel, children, Ministers, Advisors and Vidhur with love ]

Ram: Vishnavay Shankaraya Guruvay Namaha!!!

[ By saying out those words and looking at the sun, Ram's body falls on the ground ]

[ Ministers and Advisors rush to catch their Lord, while Vidhur captures Lord's soul in his special astral bag ]

Angel: Please kill me too, I can't live on with the fact that I killed my love!!!

Angel: Please kill me, if I am still a pativrata!!!

[ Bhaat ]

[ A lightning falls on Angel and turns her into ashes ]

[ Everyone is shocked and surprised on losing them all ]

[ After capturing Ram's soul, Vidhur rushes and collects the queens' ashes, as even the sky is unable to look at all those sad faces, and it starts raining heavily by bursting the clouds, setting the sun soon that evening ]

[ Ministers and Advisors lift Lord Ram and take his body inside the palace to preserve it ]

[ While Ram's body is being taken inside, Ram's children cry and scream as if they are being dipped in boiling oil ]

[ Charu Hashini, Gunaniddhi and Sampath have lost all their parents, they have become orphans, they have no one to depend on anymore, they lost everything that day ]

[ Ministers and Advisors place Ram's body in an oil tank and add some sacred ingredients to preserve Lord's body ]
