"You didn't spare that one second to look at me in an entire day", he complained...

"That's because I can't handle your insanity anymore... You kept tailing behind me the whole day, but couldn't say a single sentence huh ?", she asked

"What sentence?", he asked her

"Are really that dumb, Rana sa? You could have promised never to repeat it and I would have thought about forgiving you but no...", Isha taunted... "Wait! That's of no use, as you hardly stood by your promises", she added

"What ? That's not fair Isha... I always stand by my promises", he argued, he even left Kailash Rajput alive just because he promised Ranveer, and here his wife is saying otherwise.

"Then why did you hurt yourself ? You said you wouldn't...", Isha asked

"I didn't promise...", he defended himself

"Fine then, promise now...", she argued but he couldn't, that's something very hard for him. "I got your answer", she said and walked to their room.

And it took a sacrifice of dinner and a breakfast to get him to promise. He kept begging her to have food, he even tried emotional blackmail about their children, but she didn't give up and in the end he had to.

"Slow down... You will choke yourself", he said rubbing her back while she stuffed food into her mouth...

"I'm hungry", she said with her mouth full of food, Abhyansh chuckled looking at his cute wife and got more food prepared to satisfy her cravings. He hated himself for not promising the previous night when she asked him to... but he was scared of breaking the promise as his fury on himself was too much to control when it came to the memories of hurting her.

Although she started eating, ending her hunger strike, he knew she wouldn't easily forget this and he was so right, the next one week was hell for him. She kept taunting him, didn't let him touch her, amd oh! Her infamous punishments made his life miserable in that one week after which he got some relief.

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

He was brought back from the memories of their trip when he heard his wife coughing slightly...

"Isha...", he quickly tended to her, helping her with some water.

"Ishu... You okay bacha ? Bhayyu was so scared", Ranveer said side hugging Isha. Abhyansh glared at his brother-in-law's drama. He was the cause of all this in the first place and he so wanted to thrash him for being careless.

"I am fine bhai", Isha answered Ranveer and Abhyansh fumed at her ignorance but he gulped his anger as he knew his wife is angry with him.

"Rajput... Leave", Abhyansh ordered and the Rajput siblings understood that he wanted to talk to her alone but Isha was in no mood to talk to him. She was upset...

"Bhai... Stay", Isha said and Ranveer smirked but soon his smirk turned into fury when his beast of a brother-in-law pulled his sister's face near his, they were inches apart from kissing...

"You still want him to stay ?", Abhyansh said and she shook her head. Now her husband's lips were touching hers and she closed her eyes in embarrassment. How could her husband kissher in front of her brother, that too when he knew she wasn't comfortable ? She fumed...

" B... Bhai... Leave please", she stuttered at her husband's proximity.

"He already did", Abhyansh whispered, his lips still touching hers, making her open her eyes... She saw the smirk on his face and bit his lips hardly drawing blood from his lips. He didn't even wince, just smirked widely at his wild wife.

"I am ready to play the game", he told her, making her eyes go wide, "And I am sorry, Rani sa", he said... "I am sorry, I wasn't ready to give you the benefit of doubt earlier, but that was because I didn't want to hear those horrible things again, but I promise you today, I will do anything and make every attempt to know the hidden past if there is any...", he said and her eyes widened at the change. Because she never expected him to get convinced ever considering his rigidity and stubbornness.

"What made you take this decision, Rana sa ?", she asked him

"Bhairav", Abhyansh said, she frowned, he explained the discussion Bhairav and he had. Isha nodded with a small smile. She was happy that her husband decided to change his years long stand just to give Bhairav his right. And he is right in doing so, that man deserved everything for being so loyal to sacrifice himself in a blink for the Ranawat family. Despite losing his brother because of Amruta, and despite thinking her father (Amar) to had plotted Bhuvan's killing, he always respected them.

"Are you upset ?", he asked, he wanted to know if she was upset for not doing it for her but for Bhairav.

"No, I am not, at least for the reason you are thinking... According to you, I was asking you to try giving one more chance to lift the blame off my father's head, and you think I amjust acting as his daughter... But Bhairav has no such motives, so as a king the decision you took was absolutely right and I understand, but as a husband, you weren't right and I'll have complaints, but at the end of the day, no one is perfect, if as a wife, I have complaints against you, as a husband you too might have complaints against me, I know I am not a perfect wife and can't ever become one, so it's fine", Isha said giving a small smile.

"I disappointed you again, no ?", Abhyansh asked, his eyes showed his vulnerability. He wanted to tell how perfect she is as a wife, his wife, she is everything and more than he deserved but no words came out.

"No you didn't, I kinda expected your reaction... My outburst in your cabin was mostly due to my hormones", she said "and like I said, I understand you, even more now, because if this is how I feel when I hear about my parents suffering, you witnessed it, I could never imagine what you might have felt", she said, tears slipping her eyes, he wiped them... He knew she wants to break down, her parents suffering is causing her too much ache and he understood she wouldn't do it in front of him considering his hatred for her parents.

"I'll send Rajput in, take care, let me know once you are done, Dr. Mrunalini will check you", he said kissing her forehead, and after receiving a nod, he left from there.
