"Andhi hai kya ? (are you blind ?)", Ranveer asked his sister hitting her head...

"Rajput... I would cut that hand of yours if you hit my wife again", Abhyansh warned coldly... "and speak properly to my wife", he added...

"Maharani Sa, Hume nahi pata tha aapki drishti kamzor hai, kahe toh ek ache vaidye ke paas leke chale aapko ?(Your royal highness, I didn't know you suffer from poor eye sight, if you say, I could take you to a good doctor)", Ranveer said bowing his head, and looked at Abhyansh giving him a look of 'Is-this-okay?'. Abhyansh so wanted to kick his brother-in-law's sarcastic a** out but controlled his fury as he will show him when he becomes his slave for the next one week.

"Bhai... Hum toh aise hi puchre the(Bhai, I was just asking) I haven't seen you guys playing chess ever, so...", Isha trailed...

"Your brother is an old a**, he didn't want to strain his body, so here we are, playing an indoor game in an Air conditioning setting", Abhyansh said making Isha glare at her brother.

"These days, you hardly exercise... Why are you neglecting your health like this ?", Isha scolded her brother...

"Don't worry Rani sa, I'll make sure he exercises a lot from tomorrow", Abhyansh said smirking at Ranveer, Isha found something fishy in his smirk but she didn't ask as she knew they wouldn't say even if she did.

"Now let us concentrate Ishu, support your bhayyu...", Ranveer said

"She would support her husband", Abhyansh said strongly...

"She always supported me, when I played with Vikram or even with bhabhosa...", Ranveer trailed, just hearing his name, Abhyansh stiffened but Isha held his hand patting the back of his palm calming him down and that helped him a bit.

"She is my wife now, and she will support me...", Abhyansh said and Isha messaged Avyan to come to the study and he was there in the next 5 minutes.

"Okay, since Avyan is here, we'll support our siblings, Avi and Ansh, Me and my veer ji", she said tucking Ranveer's arm. He kissed her forehead hearing 'veer ji' from her, she used to call him that sometimes, in her childhood. When she said that, all those cute and lovely moments ran like a reel in his head.

"My Ishu...", Ranveer said proudly ruffling her hair and Isha gave him a wide smile, but it soon disappeared when she saw her brooding husband, she could see the genuine happiness in his eyes when he saw her having an emotional moment with her brother, but that wouldn't stop him from getting jealous over the fact that she chose to be in her brother's team instead of his.

"Bhai sa... I'll cheer for you, I'm happy to be in the winning team", Avyan said and Abhyansh smirked looking at the confidence his brother displayed in him, well, he knew Avyan always had confidence in him but he never expressed it openly, or he never got a chance to express it before.

"Haha... keep dreaming", Isha mocked giving hi-fi to her brother, and there began the championship for 'Who's gonna be who's slave ?'

CHAPTER – 15

Isha sat beside Ranveer and tucked his arm...

"Come on bhai... We must win this...", Isha cheered for her brother, Ranveer nodded and kissed her crown...

Abhyansh looked at his wife, he wished he hadn't talked about the bet, he didn't want his wife to be on losing side, he would have lost for her but he can't be a slave to his brother-in-law, that would be grave... He is willing to be a slave to his wife but except her, no one else.

"By the way, what would the winning team get ?", Avyan asked, Abhyansh and Ranveer glared at him... If Isha gets to know about the bet she would immediately terminate the game and give an earful to both of them. Avyan felt the heating gazes of his brother and Ranveer.

"It was already discussed, now let's resume the game", Abhyansh said sternly...

Isha sighed at her husband...

"People play for fun, but why are you playing ? Because fun is not in your dictionary hm ?", Isha taunted her husband, Avyan hid his chuckle, he so loved it when his sister-in-law roasted his brother and he listened to her taunts without any complaints...

"Well maybe I am playing to win fun ?", Abhyansh said looking directly into Ranveer's eyes who threw back the challenge at his brother-in-law...

Isha frowned hearing her husband.

"What was that supposed to mean ?", Isha asked but Ranveer shut her up...

"Okay let's start...", Ranveer said, the staff came, reset the table, and left from there leaving the Rajput and Ranawat siblings to have their fun.

They decided to play classical and the moves were time-bound, the timer was arranged on the side. The rules were iterated and the game commenced. It started with Ranveer & Abhyansh giving a tough fight to each other.

The serious looks on their faces scared their siblings, as they had never seen them like this, Ranveer is always playful but during this game, he looked extremely serious as if his life was dependent on it and Abhyansh, though always carried the cold aura, was extremely calm and composed, now looked determined to win, as if he had to try harder to win. Isha understood her husband hated losing, he never lost, and seeing Ranveer giving a tough competition, he is unsure of his triumph now. Ranveer is a master player in chess, he used to defeat even his bhabosa who was a champion. Abhyansh's clever moves are expected but looks like Ranveer's are the least expected by the Ranawat siblings...

"Damn! You play well", Avyan exclaimed with surprise when Ranveer made a critical move... Ranveer just smirked and gave a look to Abhyansh who looked careless but Isha knew her husband too well, she noticed his muscles tensed a bit, but soon they relaxed and a small smirk formed on Abhyansh's lips before he made his move.
