Page 137 of The Royal Beast & His Queen

"I wasn't taking his side Ishu... I'm upset too, I feel guilty even to face Ranawats, especially your mother-in-law... I feel only rage when I think about Kailash Rajput's acts who is my biological father but when I think about what bhabhosa had done, I feel guilty... Because I accepted him as my father and by default, I had to shoulder it", Ranveer said

"We... We had to shoulder it bhai... especially me, he did it all for me... He left a kid dying, just to tend to his daughter who was merely hurt falling off the stairs...", Isha said

"Bhabhosa might not have known the level of injury you had bacha... Kailash Rajput might have manipulated bhabhosa", Ranveer said

"Whatever bhai... if baba had taken Advaita to the hospital that day, things might have taken a different turn today... Advaita might be alive today...", Isha said, wiping her tears but they had no stop. "But, I'm glad that it was proved baba was a well-wisher of Ranawats always, he didn't conspire against them... baba wasn't what Rana sa thought him to be but he wasn't what I thought him to be too", Isha said, Ranveer could hear the heartbreak of a daughter...

"Choosing to leave Advaita like that was bhabhosa's mistake Ishu... and he might have died a hundred deaths leaving her but he did it, because when it came to his daughter, he became selfish, a man like him became selfish for you, imagine how much he might have loved you", Ranveer said and Isha cried...

"I didn't want such love bhai... not at the cost of another kid's life... I know baba might have thought Kaku sa would take her to the hospital but it was baba's responsibility to take her to the hospital, instead, he could have sent kaku sa to take me to the hospital... That's not his only mistake bhai... being ignorant of his brother's vile intentions was also his fault... Blindly trusting someone whom he has known from birth was his fault, for god sake that man had vile intentions for my mother and my father was ignorant about it ? How was it justified? If baba had known his(kailash) real face, all this wouldn't have happened, Advaita would have been alive, Rana sa wouldn't have lost his grandfather, sasur sa wouldn't be handicapped, Bhuvan wouldn't have died, our dadi sa would have been alive, more than anything, my ma-baba would have been alive bhai...", Isha said and tears made their way in both Isha's and Ranveer's eyes.

Ranveer understood her pain, Isha suffered the most from Amar, Pallavi, and Sanghvi Devi's deaths. All her pain, the tortures she bore, her nightmares, Madan's advances, her aunt and uncle's torture, and how she was made to lie to Ranveer about her well-being, all kept revolving in her head. Now that she got to know most of the past, she understood why her aunt hated her so much, especially her face. Isha looked a lot like her mother and Sheela hated Pallavi for having Kailash's attention always, though he never declared his admiration for Pallavi in front of Sheela, she understood in the way he looked at her, if not for the fear of Amar, he would have taken a step towards Pallavi and even that thought boiled Sheela and destroyed her marriage completely.

Sheela hated Isha and always made her look terrible but still Isha managed to look beautiful which didn't go well with her, she so wanted to burn her face but Kailash warned her to kill her if she attempted to do something like that to Isha, she also knew it was very risky as her son would personally show her the gates of hell if she did something to his lovely sister.

After Isha calmed down, both the brother-sister talked about how to disclose to Abhyansh.

"Now it proved that bhabhosa wasn't the one who planned Ranawat's destruction, he was misunderstood, how are we gonna convey this to Ranawat ? He will not listen to me, he will not let me speak a single word...", Ranveer said

"And I don't want to say anything to him... I don't know what to feel after all these revelations, I thought I could forgive him after knowing the past, but the reason why he was hating me wasn't all true... yes baba was at fault but not as Rana sa thought, baba was Advaita's culprit, but not anyone else's, Rana sa thinks baba destroyed his whole family, hid the truth about ma and Chirag's betrothal, intentionally brought Chirag Rathoreto the Ranawats, planned the whole game with the other royals, killed Rana sa's grandfather, caused sasur sa's accident and handicapped him, planned multiple murder attempts on Rana sa, was the reason behind Bhuvan's death and the list goes on... The number of accusations Rana sa has on our baba was much more than the breaths I take every minute... Honestly, After knowing this, I am confused bhai... I don't want to see Rana sa... not any sooner...", Isha said wiping her tears but they kept falling.

"Ishu... I completely understand your emotions bacha, but you are stronger than this... We have the responsibility to clear bhabhosa's name since we now know the truth. That's what we should do as his children, this is what they strived to do till their last breath, even taking her last breath, all bhabho wanted was to clear her husband's name, so we should do it, and we should do it as early as possible", Ranveer said and Isha nodded... Her brother is right, as her parents' children, it's their responsibility to prove their parents' innocence, for now, she decided to keep her feelings aside.

"Bhai... Rana sa needs evidence, we just cannot say that Neil told us all this, he just wouldn't listen to us... we need something concrete, first of all, we need to know why Rana sa thought it was baba(Amar) that killed his grandfather and caused his father's accident ? And we need to know what happened to Advaita after Baba left from there", Isha asked

"Neil told me Kailash Rajput was a calligrapher and an impressionist, if he could write letters and pose like bhabhosa, why can't he sign a cheque like Bhabhosa, and for what happened to Advaita and who did those cruel things to her can only be told by Kailash Rajput, even Neil doesn't know", Ranveer said

"Might be possible, so we can start by saying this ?", Isha asked but Ranveer shook his head...

"No matter how good Kailash Rajput is, he couldn't copy bhabhosa's signature as he used a special molded character in his signature, and moreover, if Kailash Rajput also knew how to imitate bhabhosa's signature along with his handwriting, he could have written a letter posing to be bhabhosa accepting all the crimes, taking full responsibility of all the happenings, in fact, he could have created their deaths as a suicide instead of an accident, it would have cleared his path forever, but he didn't, because he couldn't imitate his brother's signature and even if he tried and then failed, the same letter would have acted against him, so he didn't do any such thing", Ranveer said

"Maybe he stole baba's checkbook which has signed cheques ?", Isha asked

"No, bhabhosa kept his checkbook very safely, even if Kailash Rajput managed to get his hands on the signed cheques, he wouldn't have encashed them without Bhabhosa's approval, I used to be with him a lot, I know how he operated, if he gave me a cheque, he used to contact the bank and give its serial number and my name, and only when both these match should the cheque be encashed, otherwise the amount would be blocked so that no cheques of his could be misused", Ranveer said

"Then how ?", Isha wondered and Ranveer shrugged...

"First we'll have to convince your husband to play a game with Kailash Rajput, only hearing it from his mouth could convince Ranawat of bhabhosa's innocence, Ishu", Ranveer said and Isha sighed, it's a huge task but they had no other option.

Isha and Ranveer reached the R Empire and they went to Abhyansh's floor as they knew he would explode like a mad bull hearing them, and talking to him in his first-floor cabin would be like inviting an audience to witness the raging beast. Ranveertook care of Isha while they were in the elevator but surprisingly she didn't feel the suffocation and breathlessness she felt every time in a confined space, there's still some discomfort but that is all. Ranveer smiled widely at the improvement...

"I so wanted to hug Dr. Parthasarathy tightly...", Ranveer said side hugging his sister...

"Eww... You sure you are straight ?", they heard Avyan's voice...

The Rajput siblings rolled their eyes at his comment...

"Hi bhabhi ma...", Avyan greeted her casually and Ranveer frowned...

"Weren't you surprised at how she managed to be on the elevator ?", Ranveer asked

"Oh! I already knew, she was getting better", Avyan answered and Ranveer glared at his sister...

"I forgot to tell you bhai... sorry", Isha said with an apologetic face...

"I'll see you later", Ranveer muttered before turning towards Avyan... "How is your brother's mood ?", he asked Avyan...

"Don't irritate him, I'm telling you, I have a meeting with him again in an hour, don't you dare ruin his mood and leave it on me to bear", Avyan warned but Ranveer as always ignored...
