“Unanticipated Love: Ram’s Journey of Reunions and Dreams“

The sun starts rising, the birds sing, and the alarm starts ringing. Meanwhile, the doorbell rings. Ram who is sleeping on the bed says, “Oh shit, the new day has started. let’s off the alarm. Mom, stop doing kitchen work and see who is knocking on the door. Mom, Are you listening to what I’m saying?.” The doorbell sounds continuously. The phone rings. Ram suddenly wakes up and sits on the bed listening to the bell sound and lifts the call.

Finally, “Oh shit, I’m foolish my mom is staying in the rural area. Okay, I need to meet my mom immediately. Otherwise, I will miss her a lot.” Ram starts doing his work and gets ready to go to the office. Finally, he reaches the office and starts working. During his lunch break, he attempts to call his mom, but she doesn’t pick up. He continues to dial her number, but there’s no response. He resumes his work until the evening. He leaves the office and again tries to attempt to call his mom, but she doesn’t pick up. He arrives at his room and proceeds to pack his bag in the bedroom.

After finishing packing, he catches sight of his mother’s photo on the table. Looking at it, he utters, “Mom, why aren’t you answering my calls? I’m worried and I don’t understand what’s happening with you. I can’t stay here anymore. I’m coming to meet you; I can’t find peace until then.”
He heads to the railway station to board the train for his destination. He feels very sad and tense. As the train begins its journey, the girl seated across from Ram greets him with a ‘Hello, I’m Sita.’ Ram, however, remains silent, offering no response. The girl continues to talk, but Ram ignores her.

At last, he reaches his destination. He goes home but doesn’t find anyone. He begins asking his neighbors about his family. Sita arrives at Ram’s house, but it’s deserted. She waits there while Ram explores his fields. Sita checking her watch, decides to leave from there. Before leaving, she carefully places the letter on the door, ensuring it’s securely attached. Sita goes off, Ram steps in. On approaching the door, he notices a securely attached letter. Quickly, he takes the letter and opens it.

“Dear son, I know you are worrying about us. But, you need to remain very strong. I’m aware you haven’t found Sita, don’t bother about it. We will find your Sita. Until and unless we will find her, we will not meet you.”

Ram gets very emotional and he throws the paper away and gets very emotional. He notices something important at the last and retrieves the letter.
“Dear son, the letter I’m writing will be delivered to you by Sita. I hope you she delivers this letter to you, and you get to meet her.”

Ram gets shocked by reading this, and immediately begins his search for Sita. Despite his search, he fails to locate her and returns home. He finds the watch and letter on the veranda. Curiously, He opens the letter,

“Ram, I don’t know when we’ll meet, but I hope this message reaches you. Ram, I don’t want to be away from you. You promised me that you wouldn’t meet me until you were settled. At last, you’ve kept this promise. Now it’s time for us to meet. I’ll be waiting for you at the temple from 5 pm to 8 pm on the occasion of Diwali. from Sita.”

Ram feels excited to meet her. He rushes to the railway station and boards the train. As the train begins its journey, Ram finds a seat opposite Sita. He stares at her but remains unresponsive. Sita looks back at him and also remains silent. At last, they both reach their destination. Ram heads to his room, holding the letter in his hands, filled with excitement at the prospect of meeting her. The day arrives, and with great excitement, Ram heads to the temple to search for Sita.

Finally, he spots a girl sitting on the stairs. He approaches her eagerly and greets her, saying, “Hello Sita. Myself Ram. I’m thrilled to meet you.” Sita turns his head towards Ram and gets shocked as well as Ram is shocked. Sita’s eyes fell upon the watch, she exclaimed, “Hi, this is my watch! Where did you find it?.” Ram is surprised and swiftly extracts a paper from his pocket.

Sita retrieves the letter from Ram and says, “Are you Ram, Ramachandra Sahadana?” Ram is surprised, but he believes she is the Sita he wants to marry.

Meanwhile, Ram hears a sound, “Dear son, are you happy now?”
Ram is surprised and searches for his mom. Finally, his mom appears in front of him. He becomes emotional and hugs his mom, saying, “Mom, I love you. You made me feel so alone. At least answer my phone calls so I can stay happy. Mom, I can’t go a day without talking to you at least once. Love you, Mom.”

Mom says, “My dear son, forget everything and just be happy. Now, you can meet your Sita. I’m truly happy to see both of you.”
Sita, gazing toward Ram’s mom, says, “Dear Aunt, I don’t want to stay with this guy. He’s so uncaring and doesn’t even speak.”
Ram approaches Sita, taking her hands, and says, “Sorry, I was very tense at that moment. That’s why I didn’t answer you.”
Finally, Sita accepts Ram’s request, and from now on, they live happily. Ultimately, Ram’s mom fulfilled her son’s dream.
