"Did I say I want you as my slave ? I just hate that word, it just triggers the past when I was made a slave by my aunt just for a few sanitary napkins... Yes, the way you asked me to be your slave in front of your brother is wrong, that doesn't mean you become my slave in front of Avyan keeping your respect at stake. How did you think I would want something like that Rana sa ?", she asked him sternly...

She knew he accepted being her slave in front of Avyan as a punishment for what he did in the past. It satisfied her brother's ego and self-respect, at one time, Ranveer was asked to beg in the same room for his sister's well-being and today he was able to make the man who hurt his sister's dignity, her slave. It was redemption for her husband and revenge for her brother, but what about her ? Why didn't either of them bother to ask if that was what she wanted ? If she would want to see her husband as her slave or not?

"Rani sa... I'm sorry, I thought you would want this as you are quite upset about how I made Rajput kneel in front of me", Abhyansh said but she cut him off...

"Yes I am upset about it, and you can't get away from that by just being my slave for a week, you will have to bear my tantrums, anger, and screams, every time I remember it, for life", she said and he nodded obediently. "Or you could ask a simple sorry from my brother", she added though she knew he wouldn't...

"I prefer the first one... Asking sorry from Rajput is impossible, but that doesn't mean I didn't know I was wrong, he didn't deserve that insult and I regret it but he doesn't have to knowabout it. For the rest of my life, I will make sure no one causes any damage to his self-respect, not even myself, Rajput is my family and I would protect him and his dignity forever and I am sure he would do the same for me, but that doesn't end the rivalry between us, we are born t be rivals and we would continue till our last breath", Abhyansh said, a small smile made it's way on Isha's face when she saw how determined her husband is about protecting her brother... She knew he loved Ranveer as his family at the same time enjoyed his rivalry with him.

"That means I would never get to see you both as friends ?", Isha asked, and Abhyansh shook his head making her take a deep breath... "So, I have no option but to get sandwiched between you two for life... Maa(addressing ma kali) what did I get myself into?", she questioned her fate making him chuckle...

"Neither your Ma Kali nor my Mahadev is gonna help us... So stop disturbing them", Abhyansh said earning a glare from her... "Okay... So ? You didn't want me as your slave ?", he asked and she shook her head...

"Why ?", he asked

"Firstly, you make a very bad slave, and it's a punishment for me if I have you...", Isha said and he glared at her, she ignored it continuing her talk... "Secondly, I don't want to damage my image by making you my slave, especially when I could make you do anything without it as well", she said and he raised his brow at her confidence.

"Oh really!", he said with a smirk...

"Yes... Should I try ? Later don't complain that I acted against your interests", she said and he understood she was planning to destroy his image in front of the family... His wife became merciless after getting pregnant, she was getting a lot of naughtyideas to trouble him and he didn't want to fall prey to her pranks...

"No... Take rest, why waste your energy on such baseless experiments? Fine I agree you could make me do anything", he said and she laughed holding her stomach as excessive laughter was causing a slight discomfort and ache in her stomach.

"Sh... calm down... Can't handle to even laugh without ache, but have to grab the first chance at making fun of your husband huh ?", he taunted pulling her into his arms rubbing her forearms, she slapped his arm... "Sorry", he muttered satisfying her.

"Your kids are the same as you, keeps dancing on my head", she said

"Rani sa... Not a word against my kids, especially my princesses... I won't tolerate it...", he warned

"Your princesses ? No chance, all three are princes...", she said, teasing him, she knew how badly he wanted daughters...

"Rani sa... Don't say that again... I'm sure at least 2 of them will be daughters, and one will be a useless son", Abhyansh said and Isha opened her mouth widely...

"How dare you call my son useless ?", Isha fought back...

"Okay okay... Relax... I just said it like that... I promise, won't say it again", he said looking at her angryself. He knew his wife is extremely possessive of her sons like he is about his daughters. He really hoped he has all three daughters but since his wife would want sons, he is praying Mahadev for a son for his wife.

The couple continued with their bickering until it was time for dinner. Abhyansh strictly warned her not to cook as standing for a long time is causing her back ache.

-------------------------------------------------------

Days passed and Abhyansh was waiting for his wife and brother-in-law to clear their stance, he thought his wife at least now understood what her father had done and how cruel of a man he was. It would be better for her to realize it and move on so that he never had to talk or discuss the past again.

"Rana sa... Your coffee...", his wife entered the study with his coffee... Abhyansh glared at her... "Now why are you upset ? I'm pregnant and you are experiencing mood swings huh ?", Isha taunted her husband...

"Wah beta... you do stupid things and blame Ranawat... You brought coffee just for him, what about me huh ? That's why Ranawat is upset...", Ranveer said, Abhyansh looked at Rajput siblings incredulously... "Not just my husband, I too am working in this jail for the past 3 hours... he didn't even let me take a bathroom break", Ranveer complained and Isha kept a disgusting face at her brother's complaints...

"Both are crazy...", Abhyansh looked at them and sighed... "Why are you working ? Who asked you to bring coffee ?", he added looking at Isha...

"I can't deal with your protectiveness anymore... Bhai... I'll come with you", Isha said and Ranveer nodded...

"On one condition, you should cook at least one meal, um.... no two", Ranveer bargained

"I'll make all the meals, deal ?", Isha said and Ranveer nodded vigorously...

"I'll lock you up in here if I have to Rani sa, but won't be letting you leave with your shameless brother...", Abhyansh said

"Me ? Did you call me shameless ? But what did I do ?", Ranveer asked
