Abhyansh sat beside Isha, passing her the capsule followed by a glass of water all the time glaring at Ranveer.

"God should give eyes at the back of your head as well, people like you who have no filter to their mouths badly need it",Avyan texted in their WhatsApp group.

"Not eyes, God should give extra power to people near your BEAST of a brother to handle his cruelty",Ranveer replied sulking.

"Stop complaining, when will you grow up ?",It's Pratap's text this time.

"Look who is talking",Ranveer retorted.

"Maintain decorum in the group, what's with these childish fights",Rajmata Devyani devi texted

"Decorum? This is family group Rajmata... Avyan, Isha... Please save me from this strict principal",Ranveer sent.

"SHUT UP ALL OF YOU",Isha sent

"Ishu... Why is your chatting language sounding like your beast of a husband",Ranveer sent

"Do Not Call Me BEAST... My wife doesn't like it, next time I wouldn't just say it, will slice your fingers directly",a text from Isha popped their phones, but everyone choked the juice they were having at the content in the text.

'Amruta Ma exited the group' notification popped up in Isha's phone. Abhyansh glared at his mother who looked so scared, like a deer caught in headlights.

Everyone who is indulged in their phones now looked horrified, awaiting his reaction. Abhyansh shook his head at his family. They were so into their phones that they didn't bother to notice Isha's phone is in his hands.

"Give my phone back... You have scared them enough...", Isha said, thrusting the water glass in his palm and taking back her phone. She glared at her husband looking at his texts and the notification of Amruta exiting the group. Isha rolled her eyes at her mother-in-law.

After the first day they created the group, Amruta learned how to exit the group and did it multiple times but Isha or Avyan kept adding her, giving her enough courage.

"Today, I won't add you... Your son will do the needed... I guess it's high time you stop getting scared of your own blood", Isha said looking at Amruta and then turned to her husband, who looked at her with a deep sigh as if he was reluctant to have that conversation with his mother, but there's no anger or coldnessin him at that though. Isha made him understand why is it so important for him to have this conversation with his mother. She didn't want their children to notice their father's coldness towards their grandmother. There is no need to pass the wounds of the past into their future by telling them all this. If they find the cold air in the family, they would surely will try to find out the reason as well and she knows even her husband doesn't want that. So, they decided to close this for once and all.

Abhyansh gave one final look at his wife before walking to his study.

"Ma go and talk to him", Isha encouraged her mother-in-law.

"W... Will he talk to me ?", Amruta asked with hope.

"Well... I don't know about 'Talk', but he will surely listen to you", Isha said, and that boosted Amruta's confidence, all these years, she just wanted her son to listen to her, which was a distant dream for her, but now it came reality, courtesy her Daughter-in-law. She hugged Isha before walking to her son's study.

"You made the impossible, Possible", Pratap told to Isha and Devyani nodded.

"Learn from your son, give ma a chance to explain, there are many things that you need to know", Isha responded instead.

Pratap thought Amruta loved Chirag for years, in fact to date, according to him, marriage with him was a compromise for her. It was a compromise but only for a year, he needs to know that whatever he saw that day at the temple wasn't true, she didn't call Chirag there, she didn't even know he would be there and he visited there every year to look at her from far, but Pratap thought Amruta met him at the temple every year on her birthday. Isha knew there were a lot of misunderstandings thatneeded to be addressed and that could only happen when people were ready to listen.

Isha waited for her father-in-law to say something but when he didn't, she got up and walked to her chamber to rest as her back started aching. She knew things would take some time to settle and for now, she just hoped her husband and mother-in-law's conversation go well.

She is happy with the kind of changes that started in the family after the truth is out. Though the improvement is gradual, it's steady and she is glad.

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

"Abhyansh...", Amruta called entering inside. This is the first time in decades that Ramlal didn't stop her, otherwise, she was always allowed in only after getting approval from Abhyansh. She knew it was her son who asked Ramlal to allow her, but still, entering his study directly without having to wait even for a second overwhelmed Amruta with happiness.

She waited for him to react or reply to her but when he didn't, she took the clue and directly started with the past before her son could change his mind on hearing her.

She told him, she couldn't tell Pratap about Chirag Or her betrothal due to her promise to her father. She confessed everything to him, though he got to hear it from his wife already, hearing from his mother had a larger impact. Amruta told him how difficult it was for her to hide it but she wasn't given any choice.

"Say something Abhyansh...", she begged after narrating everything.

"No matter your circumstances, you conceived me with Pratap Singh Ranawat, while having Chirag Rathore in your heart, you cannot change the fact even if you want to... The reason your so-called husband couldn't accept me as his son to date, not that I care... But you made my existence a cuss word, how do you want me to deal with that?", he asked her and she just sobbed having no words to answer him. "And your stupidity cost us Advaita and Bhuvan, how did you even think I could forgive you", he added
