Page 38 of The Royal Beast & His Queen

"Mom... I think we shouldn't get into all this, Isha loves her husband a lot, so does Maharaj... we can't destroy their present with their past", Anuj said

"So ? You suggest I hide this forever and deny the responsibility my sister gave me ?", Nandini asked her son furiously...

"No, mom, you are getting me wrong... what I mean is we should only let Maharaj know about the truth, no need to involve Isha in all this", Anuj said

"She has the right to know about her parents and what they had gone through... and I would tell her that", Nandini said

"Mom... No... You can't do that, and at the end of the day, Amar uncle wasn't completely innocent, so I don't think you blaming Mr. Ranawat is right", Anuj said and Nandini glared at her son... "I know you love Maasi (Pallavi) too much and want Isha to know her parents' struggles but it would be unfair on Isha, she has gone through a lot to have the peace she is having now in her marriage, you can't be snatching it", Anuj said

"Leave Anuj... I'm not in a state to think anything properly", Nandini said, Anuj nodded and left from there...

Ranveer held his hair in worry for his sister... The uncertainty and agonizing curiosity for truth only intensified after hearing that conversation... But, after that day, they didn't talk about it.

"Will you tell me now", Isha said, taking his palm and putting it on her head taking a swear on her...

"You are crazy Ishu", he said snatching his hand away...

"I might be... Out with the truth", she asked him

"I was trying to get the truth about the past from your aunt Ishu", Ranveer said

"And ?", she asked with anticipation

"No luck", he said not completely lying to her, he didn't completely know the truth so he wasn't lying.

She nodded sighing deeply...

"Rana sa might have warned her not to talk about it", Isha said, as that's the only possible explanation she could come up with it.

'Only if you know' Ranveer thought to himself. He cursed himself for letting his sister marry the BEAST. He could have stopped the wedding. He blamed himself for all his sister's miseries since the time she was married and also for the upcoming pain she is gonna get after she gets to know the truth... He doesn't know the truth completely but he now knew it has the power to destroy the carefully built safe haven of his sister and he would never let that happen, he vowed himself. If Abhyansh Singh Ranawat is her peace then he would do anything to keep him in her life, he determined. Gone was the Ranveer Rajput who hated his sister's husband for all the pain he gave her. Now he is someone who would do anything to save his sister's marriage and peace at ANY cost.

"Bhai... what are you thinking ?", she asked looking at him deep in thought...

"Nothing bacha... Don't think much... Just be happy, bhayyu can do anything for your happiness... just know this... I'm so sorry, hurting you was never my intention, but I don't know why I end up doing it...", Ranveer suddenly said

"Bhai ?", she raised her brows in confusion at his sudden words... He hugged her tightly and she felt her brother's tear on her shoulder... "Bhayyu... Please... Bhai... I forgave you... I'm happy for you and Ragini... Don't worry so much... I am not mad at you anymore... Okay ?", she said, she couldn't see her brother in so much distress... She loves him more than anything... well that anything didn't include her husband though. She mentally rolled her eyes at her husband's jealousy.

"Haa... Finally! My drama worked", he said wiping his tear and breaking the hug, while she slapped his arm... she knew it wasn't a drama and he knew she knew but both of them found peace in that silence rather than confronting it.

"Now, introduce Ragini to me and Rana sa officially... In fact, bring her here after Rana sa is back", Isha said and Ranveer raised his brows...

"You do realize that you are younger to me right ?", Ranveer teased his sister...

"Doesn't matter, I'm your sister and I'm married, and adding to it, my husband is older than you, so everything will go as per our will... understood ?", Isha ordered her brother cutely and Ranveer pulled her cheeks...

"Understood my princess Isha Amar Rajput... Will do as per your command", Ranveer said making her smile at the name, her brother loved calling her that, and it's been a while he addressed her with that. She thought her brother casually called her but only Ranveer knew how much he wished her to staylike that, so that whatever the truth was, she wouldn't have suffered so much but now, whether it was her husband who misunderstood her father, or her father actually committed that sin which Abhaynsh accused him of, she would be the one to get hurt.

"Okay it's very late, go and sleep", Isha said pushing her brother and he obliged, wished her 'good night', kissed her forehead, and left from there...

She drifted into sleep thinking about her brother's weird behavior and her husband's probable reaction to Avyan's marriage news.

In the next couple of days, Abhyansh wrapped his immediate things and flew back to his palace, to his solace, his Rani sa. He didn't inform his wife as he wanted to surprise her. He felt the childlike excitement inside him, even imagining meeting his wife after these days made him feel the happiness from within. He knew there was something his wife was hiding, but he decided to hear her version before reacting. He can't afford to stay away from her after this separation. So, he decided not to get mad with his wife to avoid any differences between them. But, will his preparation to stay calm work after hearing the news? He would get to know the answer in a few hours...

His convoy stopped in front of the head door of the Ranawat Main Palace, Bhairav got down and opened Abhyansh's door and he stepped down, making his way inside. He knew it's about dinner time and his wife would be arranging the dining tablewith his mother. He quickly walked in, as soon as Isha saw him, her face had a wide smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement and happiness. All she wanted is to hug him tightly but she held her emotions...

"Rani sa...", he said and walked away towards their chamber, she understood he wanted her to accompany him...

She turned to Amruta to ask her if she would handle the things there but before she could ask, Amruta nodded asking her to go. Isha instantly speedwalked to their chamber... As soon as she entered, Abhyansh took her in his arms hugging her tightly breathing her scent...
