Page 148 of The Royal Beast & His Queen

"Don't play this 'Queen' card on me now... You are sick and no one is there to take care of you... and what has happened to you, in the first place", Pratap questioned and now she completely lost her patience.

"I PUKED MY GUTS OUT AND FAINTED BECAUSE I WENT TO SEE KAILASH RAJPUT WHO TOLD ME HOW HE KILLED MY PARENTS BY TORTURING THEM BADLY...", Isha screamed her lungs out shocking Pratap...

"Your uncle killed your parents ?", Pratap was shocked at this discovery... They thought it was really an accident...

"YES... You must be delighted now, no ? After all, you hated my father for all these years, but you know what, he didn't deserve that... because he didn't do anything... ANYTHING", Isha said coughing in the end and Pratap got concerned...

"Isha... Calm down beta... Relax... I'm coming there, take care until then", Pratap said and hung up, not before dialing to the Rana Mahal staff, he just hoped they would pick up his call, and he was glad that they did. Pratap got to know that Dr. Mrunalini was staying there to keep a check on Isha's health, he also got to know that Ranveer and Abhyansh were there and they were the ones who brought Isha there and then left after a while.

Pratap got worried when the staff told them, Isha was unconscious when Abhyansh brought her to the palace and they haven't seen her out of the king's chamber till now so they didn't know how she was.

"Amruta... Pack some food for Isha... I'm going to her... I'll make sure she eats", Pratap said

"Isha ? Where is she ?", Amruta asked

"Do what I say... I have to leave now", Pratap snapped, he was already upset and worried regarding Isha's health and his wife's questions irritated him even more. Amruta did as he said and he quickly left for Rana Mahal taking the packed food.

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

"Eat...", Pratap said, arranging the food on the table himself, he even served Isha...

"I can't believe you are here... You could have sent the food with someone if you want me to have healthy and home made meals", Isha said, frustrated at her father-in-law, he strained himself to do all this, despite his physical condition, he traveled so far at this time of the night.

"Stop talking and eat", Pratap said calmly... "You need to eat healthy and homemade food at this time...", Pratap said and Isha started eating...

"I know, but I'm not sure if I can eat this... I'll ask Dr. Mrunalini", Isha said pointing to another box...

"There are no restrictions on food, I used to have Amruta eat everything when she was pregnant with Abhyansh... The reason, he was such a healthy baby... He weighed more than Avyan and Advaita combined, Amruta's first delivery was more difficult compared to her second one, when she delivered the twins, yet she recovered very quickly after delivering Abhyansh, the reason was the homemade meals", Pratap said, and Isha wasleft surprised to hear her about husband's birth from her father-in-law who was never interested in talking about his elder son, except for taunting him or complaining about him to her.

She finished her meal while talking to her father-in-law, mostly listening to him... Her anger forgotten for the moment...

"Eat this as well...", Pratap said opening the fruit box...

"I'm done... I can't eat anymore...", Isha said holding her stomach...

"You are limiting your appetite, Isha... it doesn't work like that... I have seen your appetite increase now... so use it to the fullest and have complete meals", Pratap lectured

"I'm eating complete meals, but I can't have this now...", Isha said...

"Isha...", Pratap started but Abhyansh's sharp tone cut through his words...

"What are you doing here ?", Abhyansh's tone was sharp and quipped.

Pratap stood up with the help of his crutches... Before he could say something, Isha interrupted...

"I called him... I was craving for some homefood... So, he brought me some", Isha answered... Abhyansh nodded walking in, followed by Ranveer and Avyan...

"You could have sent it with someone...", Abhyansh asked, his tone clipped... This time, Pratap didn't let Isha cover for him...

"I got to know she was sick and ALONE, so I came here to check on her...", Pratap said, indirectly taunting him for leaving his daughter-in-law alone that too when she was sick. Pratap knew how much Abhyansh loved Isha, still he didn't like how he left her alone...

"Okay... Sasur sa, it's late, I think you should leave now", Isha said, though she has many complaints against her father-in-law,she cared for him and she didn't want her husband to snap at the old man, no matter how upset she is with Pratap, she appreciated his concern and his kind gesture of bringing her food and talking to her about all those things which made her feel better and have her meals peacefully without having to think about the past which was running like a reel in her head, from the time, Kailash Rajput uttered those words.

"There are certain things, he needs to hear before going home...", Abhyansh said sternly...

"Rana sa... Later", Isha said holding her husband's palm which calmed him to a certain extent...

Ranveer looked at his BEAST of a brother-in-law visibly calming down, just with a touch from Isha... Ranveer and Avyan looked at each other in shock, was he the same man who was so furious some time ago... Both of them remembered their car journey to Rana Mahal, which was undoubtedly the most horrendous drive of their life.
