"No, I will not see a doctor", she said, she hated being so adamant and denying he husband but she was scared to face the truth, it was too painful and more than anything she was scared that the truth of her panic attacks would destroy her brother's peace. She wanted to run the things as they were...

"Fine then, I will not tell you the truth, don't utter about it anymore, the discussion is over", Abhyansh said and attempted to walk away from her, but she held his wrist.

"You have to tell me the truth Rana sa... It's my right... You hate my father, and it's pricking my heart... and you don't even tell me the reason", she shouted

"Fine... You want to know th truth right ? I would tell you but before that choose one... Me or your father ?", he screamed startling her...

"W..What do you mean ?", she stuttered...

"If you chosse me, you should never ask me for the truth again, until you get fine, or if you choose your father, you will gain the truth but lose me forever", he said, his face hardened seeing her welling up eyes...

"You didn't mean it right ?", she said hoping he didn't

"I do, choice is yours now", he said

She didn't have any words... Her brain started working for a second... How could he even say that ?

He knew she would never choose anyone else over him, and he is an a** for using his wife's love to stop her from pondering over the truth but he had no other choice, he wanted her to agree to see the doctor. He was selfish, he wanted his wife fit and fine, he didn't want her to suffer ever, he now knew hiding the truth from her was not an option he had, so he wanted her to get strong enough to handle the truth first. He was ready to die with the guilt of hurting his wife but wasn't ready to suffer her.

"When is he coming ?", she asked after several minutes of silence, he understood she was talking about Dr. Parthasarathy

"second week of next month", he said

"I'll see him", her tone was too calm "But I have a condition", she said making her husband frown... "I don't want my treatment progress to be shared with my bhai... any outcome, any fact coming into light would stay among the three of us, i.e myself, you and the doctor", she added

"Why is that so ?, Rajput had the right to know about his sister", Abhyansh said, he didn't feel it right to hide it from his brother-in-law... He knew how worried he was for Isha's well-being. Abhyansh suspected his wife was trying to protect her brother from the truth, but why would it hurt him until he was the reason, but that couldn't happen, Abhyansh thought Isha'spanic attacks might be because of Ranveer's parents and maybe Isha is trying to save Ranveer from that guilt but why would she be so adamant for that as Ranveer already knew how his parents suffered her.

He didn't understand what his wife was hiding, he cursed himself for not hearing her when she wanted to tell him. F**k his anger on Amar Rajput.

"My condition is non-negotiable Rana sa... Either agree to it or I'm not seeing the doctor...", Isha said coldly... He knew his ultimatum had stung her badly.

"Fine... This would stay among the 3 of us", Abhyansh promised

"If ever my bhai gets to know about it, I'll go to live with my brother forever divorcing you", she said shocking him

"Rani sa...", Abhyansh shouted getting furious... "Talking about divorce is forbidden... I already told you, how dare you say that again ?", he roared

"I thought so too, but when you spoke about it, I thought I could too, since I know you won't be unfair to me in case of my rights", she said

"I didn't talk about our divorce", he said

"Stop with your bl**dy games,You meant the same... You talked about our separation first, I didn't know you meant it or not but I mean it... Disclose anything to my brother, and you'll see meleaving you forever", she said and was about to storm out when he held her wrist.

"Where are you going ?", he asked

"Away from you... Your presence is irritating me", she said trying to free her hand from his grip... "Everything might change between us, but one this is constant always... you hurting me", she said and he loosened his hold, she stormed out of their room.

He closed his eyes in pain but he knew it was needed, he tried a lot to convince her, he was trying from months, He approached Dr. Parthasarathy a week after her last panic attack, from then, time to time, he kept talking to her, trying to convince her but she is adamant so he thought this was the only way.

On the other hand, Isha felt like slapping her idiot husband, she understood everything, why he did it, she also knew he gave the ultimatum knowing she would never go away from him, that cunning husband of hers played her, that's the reason she too talked about divorce, she knew it would push his buttons but she was too furious to think about his feelings. He deserved it for giving her an ultimatum.

The next morning, Isha left for Rajput palace with Ranveer as she needed to talk to her aunt and at least try to know the truth from her. Nandini was disappointed that Isha failed to convince Abhyansh to hear her and now Nandini didn't have any other option other than disclosing the truth to Isha. It's better to reveal it to someone as that would at least give her hope that one day it would reach its rightful owner even if she wasn't there to witnessit. And There could be no one better than Isha who could handle it.

"I want to talk to Isha alone", Nandini said

"I won't leave my sister alone, she has suffered enough, I can't risk her health, especially when I don't what lies in the truth and how it would affect her", Ranveer said sternly

"Please Ranveer... Isha is like my daughter, I love her too and I won't let anything happen to her", Nandini said
