"Ha... Had to... If I know you are gonna pull my cheeks, I would have voice recorded it's response too", she said finishing the packing.
"Why this sudden love for the voice recorder in your phone ?", he asked pulling her by her waist.
"Not for the recorder, it's my love for my poor throat which will die if I keep replying you the everytime you reiterate your instructions", she said and he chuckled capturing her lips in a soft kiss smooching her petals with his warm ones softly...
"God! I missed these", he said and she glared at him...
"You kept kissing them till early hours, and you say you miss these ?", she said breaking the kiss and he glared.
"You know I can't get enough of you... How am I gonna survive without you Rani sa", he said joining his forehead with hers...
"You'll be back soon... I know... Just take care of yourself, I know Bhairav and your whole team is there but still, please take care, I have detailed the chefs, I have given the needed recipes, packed snacks as well... Tell me if you need something, I'll send you", she said and he nodded kissing her forehead. She prepared mixes and masalas for most of the dishes so that her husband will have some proper meals in her absence.
They walked to the hall, Abhyansh gave one final look to his wife who nodded at him with a smile indicating she would fulfil herresponsibilities well. He nodded and after telling Rajmata he left from there, Ranveer and Avyan went with him till the airport as Abhyansh has a few things to discuss with the both of them. Isha purposely didn't go to airport as she was afraid of breaking down, she is holding her walls strongly as if they crumble she will fall and along with that, her husband's trust in her that she could handle everything in his absence will also fall and she wouldn't want that so she composed herself.
In the night, after reaching Europe, Abhyansh called her and they spoke for some time before Isha asked him to take some rest as he might be tired from his journey. But what she doesn't know is it's not his time to take rest, but make his enemies rest in peace.
The next day, Isha's cousin Anuj came there, after all the security checks, he walked in. Ranveer is surprised to see him there...
"Anuj... Sit here... I'll be back with Avyan, then we can move to Rana sa's study", Isha said, Ranveer frowned
"Excuse me ? Hello... Guys, what's going on here ?", Ranveer asked looking at Isha which she royally ignored... "Anuj... What's the issue", Ranveer asked
"Isha asked me to...", Anuj started but got interrupted by Isha...
"Anuj... Let's go, we'll sit in the room there", Isha said and Anuj nodded understanding Isha didn't want him to inform Ranveer about anything, he sighed and walked behind Isha. Ranveer frowned, dialing his brother-in-law immediately to complainabout Isha who was ignoring him royally, she initially wanted to forgive her brother but her husband reminded how wrong her brother did to her by hiding this.
"Your wife is testing my patience Ranawat, I can't stay here", Ranveer said into the phone as soon his brother-in-law picked up...
"Rajput...", Abhyansh said painfully groaning, rubbing his head and temples to control his temper... "Talk if there's anything important, otherwise hang up", Abhyansh said, loading his gun again...
"Of course it's important... Your wife called...", Ranveer started but three gunshots stopped his words in midway...
"Clear the place", Abhyansh ordered before getting back to the call... "You were saying something about my wife Rajput ?", Abhyansh asked
"Your wife ? No, no, I was talking about my sister... It's nothing important, I was just saying Ishu is such a good host, and she cares for me so much, anyways, you might be busy, carry on with your work, bye", Ranveer said and after receiving his brother-in-law's 'hm', Ranveer quickly hung up sensing the BEAST's bad mood, who knows he might shoot two bullets in his head too for disturbing him in the middle of his important work.
Anuj and Isha settled in the outer cabin in Abhyansh's study, her husband asked her to use the main study, but she didn't want to take anyone to that place which held sensitive informationrelated to her husband's empire. Though she trusted her cousin, she didn't want to take any risk with her husband's company.
Avyan came there after 5 minutes, and both the men politely greeted each other.
"Like you asked to find out about that girl Anshi... I did, here are my findings...", Anuj started and told about her brief summary in the next 5 minutes... "And here comes the main part Isha, you asked me to find out about her wedding and things related to it, and I did... your suspicion is right, her wedding was cancelled. The groom's family called it off after they got to know her being taken to the CD on the orders of His Highness, Yuvraj Avyan Singh Ranawat", Anuj said, Isha held her head at the mess while Avyan looked blank, this explains Anshi's fury that day, his one act distorted her whole life ? Can he be any more guilty ? Avyan cursed himself for not listening to his 'bhabhi ma' that day...
"People in the neighborhood also said that the groom's family insulted Anshi and her parents a lot, they said some very mean things to her which no parents could hear against their daughter", Anuj said and Avyan fisted his palms to control his anger while Isha shook her head in distress.
"Avyan... Avi...", Isha shook his shoulder when he didn't respond to her calls...
"Bhabhi ma... I destroyed her life...", Avyan said and Isha's heart broke looking at the guilt on Avyan's face...
"No, You saved her life from people like them, she can never be happy with people who have such low mentality... You remember, I promised you, I'll make everything right", Isha asked and Avyan nodded. "I still hold to that promise, Anshi's happiness is our responsibility Avyan and I'll make sure she marries someone who cherishes her, respects her and most importantly trusts her... Don't worry...Okay ?", Isha asked and Avyan nodded again... Isha understood that her brother-in-law needed some alone time so she asked him to go and take some rest. Avyan thanked Anuj for his help and left from there.
After talking for some time, Anuj too left for the Rajput palace where they are currently residing. The next morning, when Isha didn't find Avyan at the dining table, she asked Amruta who told her that Avyan had gone to the office as he had some important work but one look at her brother and she understood where Avyan was headed.
She asked everyone to carry on with the breakfast while she rushed out. Ranveer wanted to follow his sister but he knew Avyan wouldn't like his involvement in this matter, so he asked his men and Abhyansh's security team to take care of Isha and keep him posted.
The whole way Isha just hoped Avyan didn't do something stupid coming in guilt but she is too late to wish for it. Three hours later, Avyan and Isha returned home... Isha called the family for a meeting, everyone thought it's to renew or change Pratap's punishment but what she said shook everyone to thecore, especially the fact that Isha took such a big decision without consulting Abhyansh shocked them.
"Avyan is getting married, Start the preparations for the same", Isha said and left from there for two reasons, first being she felt guilty that she took this decision without consulting Amruta who has many plans and dreams for her younger son's wedding, second reason being she knew there will be questioning and she couldn't answer their questions now.
