"No way! you siblings are crazy, I don't know what all you both will do, though I trust in Ragini's abilities, she can't control both of your madness at a time", Abhyansh said and Isha glared at him. "What? It's true... Today you used my children as table, don't know what you'll do the next time you are left alone, so no, you are not going to Rajput palace", Abhyansh strictly said and Isha pushed the table beside her with anger and Abhyansh sighed deeply.

"Okay, let's think about it when I have to go out of the country...", he said and she gave him a wide smile.

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

"Rana sa... You said you will let me go", Isha said

"I said I'll see and now my answer is no", Abhyansh said picking up his phone and iPad.

"Rana sa...", Isha whined

"no Isha... You'll not go to stay in Rajput palace, period.", Abhyansh said and left for his work leaving his wife to sulk.

He will be leaving for Europe 3 days after and Isha wants to go and stay with her brother and sister-in-law for a few days but her beast of a husband wasn't agreeing. She chided herself and her kids for making her call her husband a 'beast' these days. A word she hated using for him.

"Bache... You shouldn't call baba with that word, that's wrong", she said slowly rubbing her stomach... she knew it's her children and the hormones that were making her curse her husband.

She boringly switched on her favorite cartoons and started watching as she had nothing to pass the time... She finished reading her parents' diaries and now she returned it to her brother and sister-in-law to read them. Her parents' diaries were the sweetest things she had ever read, they had written all the beautiful moments that took place in the family, and they had written their dreams for their children.

Amar mostly wrote about what kind of a man he wanted for his daughter while Pallavi wrote what kind of a daughter-in-law would make the best pair for her son. Pallavi even planned how she would pamper Isha when she gets pregnant while Amar has written how he would be the first one to take his grandchild in his arms, as his daughter will be staying with him, if his son-in-law wanted to see his wife or children he had to live in Rajput Palace. Isha cried reading all their dreams for her and her brother.

Amar and Pallavi also wrote about how they dreamt of Abhyansh becoming her prospective groom. Amar has also written that he would send Isha to her in-laws' place only if she married Abhyansh, as he trusted his best friend Pratap, Amruta, and Rajmata Devyani Devi to look after his princess very well, if Isha had to marry someone else, he would probably look for an in house son-in-law (ghar jamai).

Isha smiled at her father's praises for Abhyansh but she didn't show it to him, as he might think she is trying to eliminate the anger he had for her father which is not the case.

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

Ragini goes to Abhyansh's cabin to meet him, to take a few approvals from him as he won't be there for the next few days,also she has something very important to discuss with him. After she finished all the business talks, she carefully asked him about sending Isha to Rajput Palace which Abhyansh refused sternly.

"Please send Isha... I'll take care of everything, I'll make sure Isha and Ranveer don't fight much", Ragini pleaded

"No Ragini... That's my final answer...", Abhyansh said

"Pleasebhai sa... consider my request", Ragini pleaded, Isha was asking her to address Abhyansh as 'Bhai sa' instead of 'Maharaj' for a long time but this was the first time Ragini gathered the courage to call him that, and seeing Abhyansh not stopping her, she took a breath in relief. "Here are my mother-in-law and father-in-law's diaries, actually our mother-in-law & father-in-law's diaries, they have written all their dreams for their children's weddings and during Isha's pregnancy, Pallavi ma had prepared a whole bunch of things to do for Isha and I want to fulfill everything, cooking her favorite food is one such thing, I know I don't cook so well, but I'm learning to cook all Isha's favorites from Rajput cooks, I'll turn perfect soon... and coming to Ranveer's childishness, he behaves such only in Ranawat palace, if his sister visits Rajput palace, he would look after her very well, you know how much he loves and cares for his sister... Please read them and take a decision... I'll come again... Please do consider my request", Ragini said and Abhyansh gave her simple nod, as he cannot deny her sweet request, he could see how much Ragini loves Isha and how she wanted to look after her, so the least he could do is at least consider her request, so he decided to read his in-laws diaries and see if that could change his mind and damn! it did.

He read the whole diary of his mother-in-law and father-in-law, he couldn't understand how Amar Rajput thought him to be perfect for his daughter decades ago, by reading that diary, Abhyansh understood that Amar Rajput always saw only oneman, that is him, Abhyansh Singh Ranawat as his daughter's prospective groom, he didn't even consider the Rathore prince or Neil Singhania's son for Isha even for once... Slowly the happy content in the diaries vanished and empty pages met him, and Abhyansh understood that it was during those black days when he was on a spree to destroy the Rajput businesses in his quest for Amar Rajput's blood.

Abhyansh was still angry and upset with Amar Rajput for his stupidities but now there was no hatred and he knew it would take some time for him to forget his anger as well, but that stop him from fulfilling his in-laws' dreams, if that's what Pallavi and Amar Rajput dreamt about doing for Isha, then Abhyansh thought he should let Isha experience all that pampering from them. So, Abhyansh decided to drop his wife in Rajput palace before he left for his Europe trip.

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

Abhyansh was all set to leave for his trip, this time his instructions list was much bigger than the last time... Especially the don'ts.

Abhyansh was standing in the hall, iterating the instructions for the final time.

"You will follow all the 12 rules we have listed...", Abhyansh started and Isha nodded.

"12 rules ?", Ranveer asked, his mouth widened. Isha pulled her brother towards her, holding the hem of his shirt...

"There were 40 before, I used all my acting skills to get it to 12, don't open your mouth and spoil it", she whispered to her brother who nodded, Abhyansh glared at the siblings.

"And most important... You will NOT use nor let ANYONE use my children as your game board, pillow, dining table or any bl**dy thing... You have more than enough furniture atRanawat and Rajput palaces, use them", Abhyansh said glaring at Ranveer. He is that 'Anyone' he specified.

"Yes I remember everything, don't worry, I will take care of myself", she said and he nodded.

He turned to Rajmata and "I'll leave now", Abhyansh said

"Stay blessed, take care", Rajmata said...
