"Haa you are right actually, with you in the same room, we can't even have fun", she said and he raised his brow giving her a look of 'unbelievable' and she chuckled.

"Sometimes you behave like a kid", Isha said kissing his cheek.

"I thought we'll have our privacy during lunch but no, how can Rani sa allow that, she had to bring either her brother-in-law Or my brother-in-law in between us always", he taunted making her laugh hard.

They reached their office and left to their floors and started with their work. At lunch, she went to her husband's cabin on the first floor, he reached there.

She started serving the food in 3 plates. Her phone which is on the table just beside Abhyansh's laptop buzzed with Ranveer's contact.

"Who is it Rana sa?", she asked pausing the work she was doing.

"Rajput", Abhyansh said, Isha nodded and continued serving them asking her husband to ignore the call and he frowned. "You are ignoring him ?", Abhyansh asked looking at the call history, her brother had been calling her since morning but she wasn't answering.

"Yes", she said

"I thought you wanted to confront him now", he asked her

"I want to, and I will but when he comes to me, bhai has hurt me a lot Rana sa so I can't go to him to confront, he has to come to me this time...", she said and he nodded "My husband carries me on his crown, I am his pride, so I can't bow right ?hum apne Rana sa ke ghurur hai, hum kaise jhuk sakte hai (I'm my Rana sa's pride, how can I bow ?)", she said and he smirked at his queen with a pride-filled face. "Well, it's not just about you, my brother too always treated me like a princess, he never let me bow, that's why I never learned to compromise when it's about him", she added and his smirk disappeared

"You can't see me happy, right? Was it necessary to mention Rajput ?", he asked she chuckled remembering her brother complaining the same way about her husband, Abhyansh glared at her...

"Okay I'm sorry", she said kissing his cheek... Just then they heard a knock... "Must be Avyan, allow him", Isha said, Abhyansh pressed the allow in his tablet hearing his wife, and the display board on the door showed 'Come in' and Avyan entered in, greeted his brother and sister-in-law respectfully.

"Come Avyan, sit here", Isha said and Avyan sat on the big couch at the right side of the cabin. signaling her husband to come as well to which Abhyansh shut his laptop with a bang and walked to the couch, and with the sound, Avyan understood his brother was mad at him.

"Are you a kid ? Should someone sit beside and feed you every time ?", Abhyansh asked and Avyan froze hearing his brother, how did his brother know about him skipping his lunch ? Of course, his bhabhi sa, he so wanted to glare at Isha but couldn't dare to do that in front of his brother.

"Rana sa... it's okay, he won't repeat again", Isha said trying to save her brother-in-law.

"Aap beech mein mat boliye Rani sa(You don't talk in between Rani sa)", he said seriously before looking at his brother again... "Why didn't you skip lunch last week ?", Abhyansh asked his brother strictly...

"Bhai sa, an important requirement occurred and I had to take care of it", Avyan answered trying hard not to fumble as he knew it could bring more trouble as it would trigger his brother's BP and he might shout at him, his brother doesn't normally shout but the fear of him doing that scares everyone including Isha.Abhyansh glared at his brother which made him gulp his saliva, even Isha couldn't say anything as her husband already warned her not to come in between. Isha signaled Avyan and he said, "I won't skip my meals from here on Bhai sa, please forgive me for this once".

"Hm...", Abhyansh nodded and started eating, after which Avyan and Isha started eating. Soon after Abhyansh was done with his food, Avyan got up as he finished much before his brother but couldn't get up before his brother, he took permission from his brother and left from there and as soon as the door closed, Isha turned to her husband, he thought now she would give him an earful for scolding her one and only brother-in-law.

"Good job Mr. Husband, now Avyan won't skip lunch", she said and he shook his head at his wife's unpredictability, she wants him not to scold Avyan but at the same time discipline him in some things. If this is the case with his fully grown-up brother, only god can save him when they have their children.

Isha and Abhyansh got back to their respective floors. In the evening, Isha wrapped up her work and came to Ragini to let her know she would be leaving for home when she saw Ragini's phone buzzing with the contact 'R'. If it was earlier, Isha would never have guessed but now she knows it's her brother that's calling her best friend.

"Excuse me", Ragini said and was about to get up but Isha held her shoulder making her sit on her chair...

"Sit here and talk... I have no problem", Isha said, but there was no smile on her face, Ragini found it odd but she first picked up the call.

"Baby, Is Ishu there ? I'm trying her phone since morning, she isn't picking up my calls", Ranveer said into phone, Ragini couldn't say anything...

"Yes, and I'll talk to you later", Ragini said and is about to cut the call, as she is sh*t scared of talking to Ranveer in front of Isha as she is afraid of Isha suspecting them...

"Give the phone to Ishu Right now Ragini... I'm hell-worried for her here", Ranveer shouted and his scream was so loud that it was heard out from the phone. He didn't care now if his sister suspected him and Ragini, he just had to talk to her, she hadn't called him for a whole week and when he gathered up the confidence to talk to her, she wasn't picking up his calls and he got hell worried. Reetu who was just sitting beside Isha, cupped her mouth and looked at Isha to gauge her expression but her face was calm like before, there was no change of emotions, Ragini was even scared to look at Isha.

"Give me the phone Ragini", Isha said and Ragini's eyes widened with surprise nonetheless she did what she was asked. "Look Mr. Rajput, firstly, you cannot talk to my friend in that tone, secondly she is at work, disturbing her for petty things isn't acceptable, she is not your sister's personal assistant, if you want to talk to me, then come to see me directly", Isha spoke into the phone and hung up, giving the phone back to Ragini. With Isha'sbehavior, Ragini understood that Isha had some idea, or she might even know the whole thing, then why did she behave the same with her ? Why didn't she confront her ? Ragini thought

"Ishu... I'm sorry, I..", Ragini started but Isha showed her palm...

"My own brother didn't bother to tell me, how could I have any complaints against you Ragini ?", Isha said, though she tried to conceal, her welled-up eyes gave away her pain.

"Ishu... Please... I'm sorry", Ragini said holding Isha's palms, she felt extremely guilty seeing Isha in pain. "I was scared Ishu... Ranveer wanted to tell you but I...", Ragini started but Isha jerked her hands softly glaring at her friend.

"You are very well prepared with your answers, but guess what ? I'm not interested in hearing any of them...", Isha said getting up... "I'll leave for home now, I'm done with my work boss", Isha told Ragini in her soft tone but it held determination, without waiting for her response, she walked away picking her bag.
