"This is what I am talking about, you sighed as if we don't have any issues in between us so I called just to give an example", he glared at her angrily but her next words calmed him. "I know you are a brooding man and your mood swings are worse than pregnant women but your children won't understand that right?What would I answer them if they asked me why their father suddenly turned from SRK to Amrish puri, that is why we will have them after we resolve all these issues", she said

"All is fine but what's with that reference?", he asked

"I told my friends that I wanted to watch my first movie and Reetu suggested I watch SRK's DDLJ(Dilwale Dulhaniya le jayenge) and I did, the actor Amrish Puri was Kajol's father who opposes her love with SRK", she told him avoiding using the villain word...

"Your brother would get a mini-heart attack if he gets to know that you watched a Bollywood film that too a romantic one", Abhyansh teased her, he knew his wife was in her rebellious mode and wanted to do everything against her brother, he didn't stop her as it's going in his favor.

"My brother wouldn't care", she said angrily.

"He loves you the most, you know this better than me, maybe it's time you should talk to him", he said, they didn't talk about it till now, but he felt it's high time she should confront her brother.

"You are actually taking his side ? I can't believe this", she said angrily, turning to the other side and he sighed.

He knew his wife was very sensitive about her brother, she wouldn't tolerate anything against him nor for him when she was angry with him, and he knew this, still he thought of talking to her.

'Sometimes I feel my brain goes on an occasional vacation' he cursed himself for saying it even after knowing his wife very well.

The rest of the night went in Rana sa pacifying his Rani sa in unique ways.

CHAPTER – 3

Abhyansh and Isha were getting ready for work when Isha turned to her husband who was wearing his tie... She put her palms on his palms, he left the tie letting his wife help him with it.

"You really think I should confront bhai ?", she asked setting his tie and helping him wear his blazer over his waistcoat...

"I know you wanted to see how long will he play these games but it's destroying your peace and I can't handle that, I want you to destroy the peace of the one who had hurt you instead, no matter who he is", he said indirectly telling her about himself too, he meant every word he told her, when she is hurt, he wants her to destroy everything around her, anything that could make her feel better but not her own mental peace which she tends to do a lot.

"Thank you", she said hugging him...

"For ?", he asked stroking her hair

"For not hurting bhai... I know seeing me in distress urged you to hurt him but you are controlling yourself... Thanks for that", she said breaking the hug with a smile... He smiled in return... He thought she didn't notice his fury, but then again, he chided himself for thinking so, his wife right from the start is very good at observing even little things about him.

"The things I do for my Rani sa", he said teasing her... She slapped him on his chest at that, he knew she hated it these days when he said that...

"So ? Whom would you do things for if not for me ? Showing off as if you did something great...", she said and he chuckled, both of them walked to the basement and got into his car, Abhyansh shut down the partition after Bhairav got in the passenger seat and the driver started driving away.

Isha leaned her head on his chest while he kissed her hair holding her securely wounding his arms around her waist, he knew she needed to let something out and he just waited patiently for her to find that comfort in their silence...

"Why didn't bhai tell me ? I was always available for him always, why did he hide it from me ? Instead, I should be the one who should have hesitated in telling about my love for you to him considering his protectiveness, but I told him first even before I told you... I wanted to, though I knew he would scold me. I share every little thing with him then why didn't he ? Didn't he think I would be happy for him or he thought it wasn't necessary to tell me?", she let it out, she knew she was very important toher brother but she wanted to hear her husband assure her that again, she couldn't even imagine her brother loving her any less than he does or did in the past.

"You know you are the most important person in his life, but yes you are right to get mad at him, he cannot treat you like this, especially when you give him so much importance, you told him first that you love me before confessing it to me", Abhyansh said and Isha got that he is upset about her confessing it to her brother before him.

"Looks like someone is upset with me?", she said teasing him for his jealousy... He ignored his wife's teasing and started doing work on his ipad. "Rana sa... Don't ignore me, I don't like it, when I am with you, I want all your attention on me", she said

"You have all my attention when you are beside me, doesn't matter whether I am looking at you or not", he said continuing his work but his left hand that's holding her waist pulled her more towards him.

"Where are you pulling me huh, now I'll have to sit in your lap because there is no space between us now", she said trying to put some distance between them but with his tight hold, the task seemed impossible.

"I would love to make you sit on my lap not just for this drive but for the whole day, every day of our life", he said nuzzling his head in her neck but his right hand kept working on the tab, she wondered exactly how talented her husband is that he could work in his laptop without looking at it.

"Okay enough of your romance, now go and work, I'll meet you at lunch", she said pushing his face away gently, he frowned but hearing her lunch comment, he got happy.

"You'll be having lunch with me today ?", he asked

"Not just today, I'll be having lunch with you every day from now on", she said and a grin appeared before it disappeared with her next statement. "I'll inform Avyan as well, you know, that boy skipped lunch 3 times last week, so from now on, he will have lunch with me only", she added

"Oh... I don't want to disturb you and your brother-in-law with my presence Rani sa, so spare me, have your lunch in your brother-in-law's cabin", he said brooding and she decided to tease him...
