He greeted all three of them, they all settled and he with the help of his staff started taking out the jewelry boxes and placed them neatly on the mahogany glass table.

"I would like to ask your forgiveness for the delay Rani sa... At first, Maharaj asked me to get these ready by the next month, so I was working at that pace but the deadline moved forward to last week but unfortunately, I couldn't deliver them on time, hope you understand...", the jeweler said confusing Isha...

"It's okay, Open them...", Isha said pretending to know about it, by now she understood that her husband planned this surprise for her birthday which is in the coming month and then when he got to know about her pregnancy news, he got it delivered before...

The jeweler opened the sets and they are an all-inclusive jewelry set.

"As you know, these are made up of the rarest diamonds, I'm blessed that Maharaj chose me and my enterprise to design this for you... We hope you like it...", he said and Isha nodded getting awestruck at the beauty of the jewelry. Rajmata and Amruta too examined the jewelry, they are the best they have seen till date, honestly they didn't expect Abhyansh to be so thoughtful, well, romantic is the right word that came in Rajmata's mind but she didn't say it out loud.

"They are beautiful, thank you for the wonderful job, where did you get these diamonds from ?", she knew they might have imported them from other countries as well.

"Maharaj gave them to me Rani sa", the jeweler said shocking Isha but she nodded masking her surprise.

The jeweler asked her to try them when she has some free time and let him know if there are any issues. She nodded and he left from there with his staff after taking her permission. By then, the ladies understood that Abhyansh personally selected the diamonds and imported them specifically for her. His efforts brought a smile on her face...

That evening when he came home, she told him how much she liked the jewelry.

"Um... Did the jeweler deliver everything ?", he asked without mentioning anything particular, she understood what he was asking but she wouldn't answer him until he asked directly.

He not only got jewelry made for her, but also for his mother and grandmother. But, he wouldn't say it out loud.

"Yes he did", she answered curtly.

"And ? Everyone liked it ?", he asked

"Why does it matter ?, I have to wear it, so it's enough that I like it", she purposely said so and he instantly understood what she was trying to do...

"God! Isha don't play with me bacha... Tell me, did they like it or they want any changes ?", Abhyansh asked

"They loved it Rana sa, but it would have been better if you gave them yourself", Isha said and Abhyansh glared at her.

"I got them something after ages, that should suffice, don't expect too much from me, you know I hate to disappoint you", he said coldly and she shook her head.

"You got it for them because you started softening towards them, and it's a good thing, there is nothing wrong in accepting that... and they are your family, it's only better that you change your ways with them rana sa, even if it's gradually", she said

"I don't want to talk about it anymore", he said and went to freshen up, she sighed at his adamant nature but let it slip for the time being.

Finally, Ranveer's punishment came to an end after an extension of one more week by his beast of a brother-in-law. Abhyansh is still not satisfied with his revenge so invited Ranveer for a sword fight but he downright rejected.

"Spare me Ranawat, my wounds from last fight haven't healed yet, I'm sure yours too didn't, so let's not stress our bodies much eh ?", Ranveer suggested and Abhyansh sighed at his brother-in-law's childishness.

"Okay, let's play something that wouldn't strain your poor body", Abhyansh said smirking indicating a chess game.

"Why do I smell something fishy here ?", Ranveer asked

"The bet... if I win, you will be my slave for a week, if I do, I'll be yours", Abhyansh announced shocking Ranveer, well, the part when his brother-in-law said he would be his slave is the sweetest thing he had ever heard, but he knew though he is a champion in chess, it's tough to defeat Abhyansh, but the offer is too tempting that Ranveer couldn't reject.

"Done... When do we play ?", Ranveer asked

"Now...", Abhyansh replied...

Both of them settled in the study room while the staff arranged for the chess game in a royal style, and after an hour, they commenced the game, Isha entered the study and saw her husband and brother playing chess. As soon as Abhyansh noticed his wife, he signalled Ranveer not to disclose anything about the bet to her, otherwise she wouldn't let them play, Ranveer blinked at him assuring him he wouldn't say a thing.

Isha frowned at their little exchange, if she didn't know any better, she would have definitely suspected her husband of cheating on her with her brother, that good is the understanding between her husband and her brother.

"What's going on here ?", Isha asked
