Page 127 of The Royal Beast & His Queen

"I won't... We won't do much, if I get tired, we could get back to our room and rest... I want to roam around, see beautiful places before the babies arrive, this is the most free time we both can get... Due to pregnancy, you made me sit idle, I am not getting involved in office work as well, and even in palace matters, all I'm doing is ordering around, so I have a lot of time, you too are having some time as bhai and Avyan are taking up some responsibilities, I don't say you have lots of time, but better than before, so why can't we utilize it ? Once bhai's marriage dates get finalized, we cannot go anywhere as I have to take care of all the arrangements. This is the best time Rana sa, please don't deny us this vacation", Isha said, they needed this, not just her... Her husband too needs to release the stress he has been carrying for years, he never had a stress-free time and this break is much needed for them.

"Okay, we'll plan it if everything goes fine well with your scan tomorrow, but you have to promise me, you would listen to me and follow all the doctor's instructions", he said and she nodded...

"I will follow all doctor's instructions, but not your stupid instructions, derived from your overprotectiveness and paranoia", she said getting irritated

"Isha...", he warned

"What ?", she said rather harshly... God! she and her temper these days...

"Nothing... It's late, sleep bacha", he said calmly helping her lay down and he followed her... After she dozed off, he got up and left for his study calling Dr. Parthasarathy.

"When are you coming back Dr. Parthasarathy ?", Abhyansh asked as soon as he picked up the phone. His tone turning cold...

"Will be back as soon as things start to settle down your royal highness... My daughter's condition is still critical and she needs me at this time, as you know my son-in-law is mentally retarded and the grandchildren are still young", Dr. Parthasarathy said and Abhyansh understood the old man's situation. The old man's daughter married a mentally retarded man going against Dr. Parthasarathy, so he severed ties with her, but she recently got into an accident and from then he is taking care of her, though he was angry with his daughter earlier, he never failed to take care of his grandchildren and now his anger on his daughter too disappeared seeing her pathetic condition.

"Sure... I'm sending some specialists to you", Abhyansh said in his usual cold tone but Dr. Parthasarathy knew how excellent of a king he was, as soon as he got to know about the accident, Abhyansh asked Bhairav to take care of the things there, everything was going smoothly even before Dr. Parthasarathy arrived there. And from that time, Abhyansh's men helped Dr. Parthasarathy with everything.

"You already did so much Maharaj... Things are going smoothly thanks to you and the doctors here are treating my daughter very well, I'm confident she will soon get better", Dr. Parthasarathy said

"There's no harm in taking specialist opinions", Abhyansh said, and Dr. Parthasarathy accepted Abhyansh's offer thanking him... "Okay now coming back to the point, I would like you to spare some time for sessions", he said

"Is Rani sa fine ? Did she experience any symptoms of panic attack recently ?", Dr. Parthasaarthy asked, he thought Isha had recovered and was almost fine, but if she suffered or experienced any symptoms of panic attack now, that would be bad, so the old man panicked.

"Not for Rani sa...", Abhyansh started, clearing his throat, god! this is so difficult... "For me, I want to take some help, for anger...", he trailed

"Anger management ?", Dr. Parthasarathy asked hesitantly, he noticed Abhyansh's unwillingness to talk about it, so he was afraid he would blast at him if he asked any further questions...

"No, Anger-bearing sessions, if something like that exists...", Abhyansh started, explaining how he needed some patience to bear his wife's anger, well, he didn't exactly word it like that but the old man got the gist, he so wanted to laugh at the king but he was scared of who would take care of his daughter, grandchildren and son-in-law if he died so he controlled his urge.

"Sure Maharaj... Your men are taking care of everything, I have nothing to do, all day, I sit with my daughter in the hospital, maybe I could take some sessions online... Please let me know whenever you are available, we can start", Dr. Parthasarathy said and after discussing the suitable time, he hung up. Dr. Parthasarathy chuckled knowing what made the king seek 'anger-bearing sessions', as he would like to term it.

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

The following day, Isha and Abhyansh got the scan and Isha thanked god as everything was fine, in fact perfect.

"So ? When are we leaving ?", Isha asked her husband, while walking towards their chamber from the ER wing of the palace.

"Rani sa... Give me some time, the doctor has just confirmed you are fine, let me think for some time", he said and she glared at him...

"The doctor not just confirmed I'm fine, she also told us that it's okay to travel, in fact this is the best time to travel, as I would start gaining weight earlier than other women because ofmultiple pregnancies, and it would get difficult for me to roam then... Rana sa, just stop playing your games now and finalize our trip soon... I am going out with bhai", she said, walking ahead of him...

"Rani sa...", Abhyansh caught her wrist... "Walk slowly... What's so hurry ?", he asked and just then, he spotted his brother-in-law coming their way, Abhyansh groaned in irritation... Isha hid her smile, her husband's expressions are the funniest when he sees her brother... It's like he would like to be anywhere except in front of Ranveer.

"Ranawat...", Ranveer greeted, Abhyansh curtly nodded, if not for his wife's presence, he wouldn't have done even that. "Bacha... let's go", Ranveer said and Isha nodded

"Take care of her Rajput... Rani sa, keep yourself hydrated, it's very hot outside", Abhyansh cautioned his brother-in-law and wife. Isha rolled her eyes while Ranveer fought the urge to do so.

"Ranawat... I agree, it's hot outside, but where will she get exposed to heat ? The queen will sit in the airconditioned car directly from your basement and steps down in your den parking... Yeah... the heat in the parking lot might cause your wife a heatstroke", Ranveer said with sarcasm...

"Not her, but you would be a victim of heatstroke soon if you...", Abhyansh trailed but he didn't have to complete his words, his brother-in-law is smart enough to get his warning...

"Bacha... we should leave", Ranveer said and took Isha with him... Isha walked away with her brother, waving at her husband, who sighed deeply at the crazy Rajput siblings. He called his trusted men to go with them as he didn't trust his wife and her childish antics to take care of herself anymore. He already asked Bhairav to stay in the den, if Neil tends to exceed his limits, Abhyansh gave clear orders to cut his tongue right away.

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

Ranveer entered the den and as planned there was only Neil Singhania there, but his condition shocked and disgusted Ranveer. His one hand was burnt, while there were bandages on his other palm, and by the type of it, he understood that his fingers were cut, and for Isha's sake, he was kept in a better condition with bandages and all. But still, it looked as if he was going through literal hell, and looking at him suffering so much caused sick pleasure to Ranveer.

"Tsk Tsk Tsk... My heart is aching badly looking at your condition, Uncle Neil... Remember, this was what we used to call you, when you were my bhabhosa's friend, um... sorry, best friend", Ranveer said entering in...
