"Okay...", Ranveer said and took her to the nearby couch... "What is it ?", he asked her.

"I want to disclose about my pregnancy to Rana sa, he should be the first one to know but my thirst for truth snatched that right from him... I can't delay anymore, he wouldn't forgive me ever bhai... and I can't take his anger... his hurt...", she said and Ranveer calmed his sister...

"Ishu... I'm with you in whatever decision you take, and don't blame yourself, it's not you, it's the situations that forced you to do whatever you did... If you haven't kept the pregnancy news from him, Ranawat would have never told you the truth, and the mental distress would have been worse in your pregnancyperiod, you just saved yourself and your child, in fact, your husband too from that horrible phase, so don't feel guilty bacha...", Ranveer consoled... "And remember the consequences Ishu, you know how overprotective Ranwat is of you... and this pregnancy would only worsen that... So think thoroughly before deciding on anything, I still think it's better to try to find out the truth before...", Ranveer trailed but Isha shook her head... He saw a glimpse of Abhyansh's love and madness for Isha, so Ranveer knew the future course, Abhyansh would never let Isha ponder on the past and that would eventually affect all of them, Ranveer just wanted to prevent that.

"We don't know how long it will take to find the truth, I don't want to snatch Rana sa's rights. All these things are uncertain in my life, what's certain is he, and my life with him... I don't want to commit any more mistakes, I don't want to ponder over my past deeds, on why I gave him a chance when he didn't give me a reason to or what would have I done if he had treated me like that today, the truth is I'm glad I gave this marriage a chance and I know for a fact that Rana sa would never treat me like the way he had in the past, the phase is gone and would never come back, I wanted to leave it behind now, I know it would take time to forget and forgive but I know eventually I'll get over it and I hope I could forgive as well", Isha said and Ranveer nodded ruffling her hair.

Isha wanted to call Abhyansh right away but Ranveer suggested her to give him the news the next day. Isha nods and decided to surprise him.

She reached Ranawat Palace decked up in his favorite saree the next morning. Her husband preferred ivory on her a lot.

(Without the veil over her head, imagine Isha is just wearing the saree and jewelry not the veil)

She walked towards her chamber and to their room to surprise him.

"So, 2 days meant a day in Rani sa's dictionary", she heard him...

He was still in his puja clothes, so she came at the right moment, thought she.

"I wanted to give you a surprise, but you as always ruined it... give a break to your inquisitive brain...", she complained...

"My Rani sa enters the palace and if you expect me not to know about it ?", he said walking towards her... It was a pleasant surprise to him when he heard about her arrival from his security staff, he was very happy to have his wife back but what if his brother-in-law convinced her to go back ? after witnessing his situation the previous day ? Even the thought was enough to snatch his peace. He wanted his wife to be there by her own will not because of her brother's force.

He kept staring at her, everytime he looks at her in an ivory saree, he lost control, she looked beautiful in everything but in ivory she looked divine and the happiness and the glee on her face didn't escape from his eye...

"You look happy", he stated

"I'm happy, very happy", she said with a wide smile, he joined his forehead with hers, he didn't know the reason for her happiness but he thanked his Mahadev for it, looking at her happy kept his heart at peace.

"You said you would be back after 2 days ?", he asked again making him frown...

"Aren't you happy that I returned ?", she asked him sharply, gone was the smile, and he cursed himself for it...

"Of course, I'm very happy, it's just that... Did your brother convince you to come here ?", he asked and she frowned...

"Why would he ? in fact he wanted me to stay there longer... it was me who rushed here, I think I should have listened to my brother", she said and he held her wrist muttering a sorry... "Okay, since I am very happy, I am forgiving you... now come with me... let's go and take Mahadev's blessings... and I have something to tell you there", Isha said dragging Abhyansh to the temple...

Both of them offered their prayers to Lord Shiva... and then sat at their favorite place leaning their backs on the pillar...

"Now will you tell me what's the news that made you so happy ?", he asked

"For the first time, I have designed a new category, two new dresses, I want to show them to you", she said with pure happiness and excitement in her eyes...

"Okay... let's go and see them", he said, he expected she left them in their chamber, so he was about to get up but she held his wrist.

"Here...", she said pulling out the end of her pallu which was knotted in a bunch, she removed the knot and took out two clothes, Abhyansh frowned but soon his eyes widened realizing what they were... One was a cute little ivory frock and another was a small dark blue shirt. "Did you like them ?", she asked turning her attention from the cute dresses to her husband. Her heart raced at a high rate anticipating his reaction, but what she saw was beyond her imagination, his reaction was priceless.

"You are pregnant ?", he questioned... he couldn't believe it... He understood the meaning behind her words, he realized it, but he couldn't believe it, did he actually deserve so much happiness?His wife is pregnant, he is gonna be a father, his Isha is gonna be a mother... His child his blood....

She nodded her head, she expected him to smile widely considering his rare smile but what he did amazed her, he hugged her tightly hiding his face in her neck and she could feel the wetness on her neck... Her eyes widened realizing they were her husband's tears. She never saw them... His eyes welled up, but not even a tear escaped his eye ever, but that changed now.

"Rana sa...", she said breaking the hug and cupping his face... she wiped his left eye from where a tear left... "at least now cry properly... Just one tear ? What if they are twins ? You can't be partial towards one child", she teased to lighten the mood though there is some reality in her words since the doctor did talk about multiple pregnancy. But he thought she was just kidding and he chuckled.

He doesn't have to express his happiness in words, she could see it in his eyes and the lone tear that escaped his eye spoke volumes.

CHAPTER – 14

Abhyansh held her hand and soon another tear escaped followed by another one. Isha quickly wiped his eyes, she started crying and he took her in his arms chuckling at his sensitive wife.
