Page 187 of The Royal Beast & His Queen

"I can't bear with your sweetness Rana sa... It overwhelms me...", she said and he chuckled at her taunt. "You made it all by yourself right ?", Isha asked and Abhyansh nodded... He crafted the whole book including the metal exteriors that has gold and silver linings... He wanted to make this wholly for his wife, every inch of it should have only his touch, no one else's... "This is the best gift for me... I will cherish this all my life...", Isha said and he nodded adjusting her hair locks. "What's with the password?", she asked

"The day your journey as a mother began", Abhyansh said and Isha understood that it was when they conceived the triplets... She got up and hugged him tightly for his thoughtfulness...

"I so love you, Ansh", she said nuzzling into his neck...

"I know...", he gave his usual reply but she heard his 'I love you more' in it. He rarely said 'I love you' but proved with his actions every second of their life and that's all she wanted.

"Now come, let's check this out... I was gonna gift you on their first birthday, but you found it before that", Abhyansh said

"No problem, we will fill this together from now on...", she said and both of them checked the book, Isha teared up at every note he wrote, having her emotionless husband to express is the best thing she could have...

"Enough for today, I want to have this happiness as a daily dose, I don't want this to end... You don't know how happy you have made me with this Rana sa", Isha said kissing his cheek.

He smiled placing a gentle kiss on her head, he was glad to have made her happy.

"Ma... I have fed them, feed them their cereal after they wake up, give them some juice at around 4, I'll be back before that, but if at all the meeting extends...", Isha told her mother-in-law though she knew everything...

"Bhabhi ma... Ma and Papa will take care of the kids, come fast, bhai sa won't spare us if we get late", Avyan said

It was 3 months ago when Pratap finally gathered the courage to ask forgiveness from his sons, he expressed his regret and told them he wanted to make amends, do everything right at least in the final years of his life... Abhyansh didn't say a word neitherdid Avyan, but after seeing the old man's efforts, Avyan gave in, understanding the old man genuinely wanted to try... He wasn't completely over the pain for what Pratap did to him or his elder brother, but he decided to give it a chance, it was as a part of giving a normal family to the triplets, Avyan promised to do everything for the kids and he would stick by that promise no matter what, even if that meant giving a chance to his father who has done some unforgivable things to his brother.

It was an emotional day when Avyan addressed Pratap as 'Papa', Pratap teared up with regret that for any father it would take a year or two to hear that word from their children's mouth but it took him more than 2.5 decades to hear it from his younger son, and didn't know how many decades it would take to hear from his elder son...

"Yes... Let's go", Avyan said and both of them left for R Empire.

There is a board meeting today and as a part of the board of directors, Isha and Avyan are supposed to be present since it's an important discussion about acquiring India's second-largest real estate firm, but they weren't told of the importance, Abhyansh just asked them to be present in the office the next day, as he was in a hurry to head to work that day. Only if he had told them...

"I don't understand what's so important that he called the both of us to office, why didn't you protest Avi ? You were on leave today, technically you shouldn't be working", Isha said settling in the passenger seat, Avyan started the engine and drove off, with their security following them...

"No idea bhabhi ma... Don't worry, we'll find out soon", Avyan said

"Okay, wake me up when we reach, I'm sleepy", Isha said adjusting the seat to sleep comfortably...

Just after 10 minutes, Avyan stopped the car and woke up Isha...

"What happened Avi ?", Isha asked, rubbing the sleep off her eyes...

"Look there", Avyan said and he could see stars in Isha's eyes at the sight...

"I wanted to eat all of it... They look so yummy", Isha said and Avyan nodded...

"Let's go, but we have to be quick, there's not much time left", Avyan said

"Okay... Let's go fast", Isha said and before they could start eating, the security did a proper check and then gave the go-ahead, Isha ordered them to stay away, and then both the sister-in-law-brother-in-law duo started their food exploration... Starting from chaat to vada pav, bhel puri to jalebi, dabeli to pakora, they tried every other variety, as Isha was craving for them badly... She couldn't eat junk as she was on feeding, that's why she restricted herself all these days, but now she couldn't resist anymore, also she already pumped milk for the day as she was going out, moreover she limited the milk feed and increased the cereal and other feed to her triplets. Her doctor too gave a go-ahead to eat anything she wants to, but not too much if it's junk, so there's no stopping her today.

"Let's eat ice cream", Isha said

"Bhabhi ma... Oh no! we are late", Avyan panicked...

"Oh No!, Your bhai sa will chew us alive... hm... chalo I have a plan, but for now, let's have ice cream...", She said and Avyan nodded

Both of them had their ice cream, before getting into their car, Isha casually opened her phone, only to see 10 missed calls from her husband, those 10 missed calls didn't scare her as much as his 3 text messages did, as she knew his hatred for texting, still he did, that meant something is wrong...

"Where are you ? The board meeting has commenced", his first text read

"Isha... Are the kids fine ? Whay are you late ? Pick up my call ?", his second text read, which was after half an hour later to the first text...
