"Bharat, here I did so much for you well being and you're just staring at me ?" Kaikeyi said.

"O Paapini.... Kulnashini.... you have not done my well-being.... You have destroyed me ! With such act you have made me the most disgusting man of Raghuvansh ! You wicked woman ! It would've been better if you had killed me the day I was born so I couldn't have seen this day ! Why didn't you tongue cut into pieces when you asked for Bhaiya Ram's exile !?" Bharat lost his patience.

"You are not thinking about your well-being in emotions. You want to doom your fate now ?" Kaikeyi said.

"My fate was doomed the day Ram Bhaiya went to vanvas ! That Ram who loved you more than his mother ! Mata Kaushalya thought of you more than a sister.... DIDN'T YOUR SOUL CRY WHILE ASKING HIS ONLY SON TO BE EXILED !? DIDN'T YOUR HEART SHATTER INTO PIECES !?" Bharat yelled.

"Every mother has a greed to make his child the greatest. Don't talk foolish things." Kaikeyi said.

A part of her was getting aware of her mistake, her motherhood was trying to take over but still a there was a corrupt part of her that was trying to rationalise her deeds.

"Greed ? Greed is the root cause of sin ! Greed makes one blind like you, who doesn't differentiates between sins and good deeds ! Even animals love Bhaiya Ram, let alone human.... But you ! You stooped so low that you drove him out of the house ! You are not a human... BUT AN INHUMANE WITCH !" Bharat said.

"Bharat... Whatever I do was for you... I am your mother my son !" Kaikeyi said as tears brimmed her eyes.

"No ! Hereafter you are not my mother ! I accept to live in hell for many births but I don't accept to call you 'Mata' ! If my voice is reaching to the other world then listen to me Pitashree.... Today your unfortunate son renounces this Kaikeyi ! And bless me father that I would be able to bring Ram Bhaiya back to Ayodhya !" Bharat said looking up.

"Bharat ! Please forgive me !" Kaikeyi said as tears fell down her cheeks.

"Maharani Kaikeyi, had you not been my mother then I would've cut you into pieces for your cruelty.... It's a sin to even let a cruel sinner like you breathe but I am silent because of my Ram Bhaiya. For he would renounce me if I did something to you." Bharat said.

"Bharat... Please..." Kaikeyi sobbed looking at him.

"Hereafter I won't ever see your horrible face again ! And in this room where my childhood was spent in my father's lap... I will never enter this room again !" Bharat said and stomped out.

"Bharat no !" Kaikeyi fell on her knees, guilt weighing her down, as she cried for her son.

Bharat wiped his tears as he walked out and suddenly heard screaming and yelling sounds. He then saw Manthara running limpingly as Shatrughan angrily chased her.

"MANTHARA !" Shatrughan yelled hitting her back with her own stick.

"AAH ! BHARAT !" Manthara fell on his feet.

"I WON'T SPARE YOU TODAY !" Shatrughan said and was about to hit her again but Bharat stopped him holding the stick.

"Shatrughan ! Stop !" Bharat said.

"Not today Bhaiya ! This witch polluted the mind of Mata Kaikeyi ! She destroyed our happy family ! I'LL GIVE HER THE MOST MERCILESS DEATH !" Shatrughan said.

"A Kshatriya never raises his hands against a woman." Bharat said keeping a hand on Ripudaman's shoulder.

"Leave me Bhaiya ! She is the reason our father died ! She is the reason why Bhaiya Ram, Bhabhishree Sita and Laxman Bhaiya are wandering in the forest !" Shatrughan said.

He harshly grabbed Manthara by the back of her neck and pulled her up but Bharat separated the both.

"I won't spare her ! TILL I DON'T BURN HER ALIVE I WON'T GET PEACE !" Shatrughan said.

"Calm down Shatrughan." Bharat said.

"I'LL BURN HER ALIVE !" Shatrughan said trying to get hold of Manthara again but Bharat held his hand.

"I said calm down !" Bharat said.

Shatrughan stopped and then looked at his elder brother, huffing in anger as Manthara backed away in fear.

"What you wish to do with her is the same I wish to do to Maharani Kaikeyi. But we are the sons of Raghuvansh. Bhaiya Ram will renounce us if he comes to know what we have done. He always tells us never to cross limits even in anger." Bharat said.

"So shall we leave her like that !?" Shatrughan asked.

"When Shri Ram would be our king then he will punish demons like her. Go away Manthara." Bharat said.

Manthara nodded and hurriedly left while limping without her stick, in a bruised condition.
