"Maharaj is asking for your presence, Yuvraj Ranveer", Bhairav announced...

"Yeah... coming", Ranveer said and walked away...

"ALL THE BEST", Avyan shouted chuckling, Ranveer gave him his best glare but Avyan shrugged it off...

Ranveer sat in the study in front of the BEAST and it’s been 10 minutes but they didn't speak a word and now Ranveer is getting irritated...

"Ranawat, why did you call me here this early in the morning??", Ranveer asked impatiently...

"Two things Rajput, you need to get punished for two things, one, for trying get my wife to divorce me, and the second one... well you needn't know, let me tell you about the first, you will beleaving for London today, and you won't come back for at least 3 months", Abhyansh said

"And why would I listen to you??", Ranveer asked though he very well knew what Abhyansh is capable of...

"Well, if you don't, I'll make you, either you leave by your own or I'll create some situations where you'll be forced to leave...", Abhyansh said

"What do you mean??", Ranveer asked...

"Bhairav...", Abhyansh called and he walked inside, and as soon as he did, he played a recording of a man talking to Abhyansh, it's a phone recording...

"How can I even say a 'No' to you Maharaj... I'll pull away from the company whenever you say", the man's voice said, not any man, but a major investor in Ranveer's company...

"Well, would this force you to leave for London?? Maybe not, but what if you will be this far from filing bankruptcy?? You might be having your family wealth, so much wealth that you could eat for generations on it but what about your friend?? That company is all he has", Abhyansh said and Ranveer gave him a dirty stare which didn't affect Abhyansh a bit but angered Bhairav... Abhyansh signalled Bhairav to leave and he left bowing to the king...

"My sister asked me not to call you that, but you are a BEAST", Ranveer said and Abhyansh's face held the same icy cold expression... "why are you doing this now Ranawat??", Ranveer whined

"You tried to separate me from my wife, now you will get separated from your sister... feel the pain Rajput... and for your question why now?? I just postponed it for my wife, she needs to forgive you and get in talking terms with you otherwise she would keep thinking about you and your betrayal, so I waited till now, so go now, my pilot will take you to London", Abhyansh said and Ranveer sighed

"What's my second punishment and for what??", Ranveer asked and Abhyansh smirked...

"You'll know soon...", Abhyansh said, Ranveer kept asking but Abhyansh completely ignored him and started with his work, he didn't say a word more as if he is a robot and is programmed to speak only so much, Ranveer got irked and left from there...

Abhyansh pressed the call button and as soon as the person picked up, he started commanding his orders...

"Women should stay at least in 10 feet distance from Ranveer Rajput, let him talk, flirt with them but he should not get laid... every time he gets rejected by a woman, send a cartoon toy to his place", Abhyansh commanded and when he got the affirmation, he hung up... his smirk widened... he would make Ranveer suffer ten folds of what he is suffering, he is sure of it... he knew his brother-in-law has his fair share of flings, and like any man he has needs, he, in fact, had a bit more and Abhyansh is gonna hit on the same... he is going to torture Ranveer so much that he should suffer a nightmare every time he hears or sees a cartoon show, determined Abhaynsh cruelly...

CHAPTER – 31

Isha woke up, completed her morning chores, and is about to go and give coffee to her husband in his study when she received a call from him asking her not to get his coffee to the study, instead asking her to meet him in their room after breakfast...

She frowned at her husband's unusual request, he acts very grumpily if he doesn't have her coffee, one day she was busy with cooking so asked her mother-in-law to make his coffee and sent it with a servant, well that was a very brave move from her side and she was afraid inside but acted all fine, her mother-in-law and the servant was very apprehensive about it but got very surprised when the king didn't say a single word and silently had his coffee but only Isha knew how grumpy he had been throughout the day, that night he told her missing her coffee makes him like that.

She shook her thoughts away and continued cooking with her mother-in-law... cooking time with Amruta is one of the best times of her day, she and her mother-in-law discuss all the things in the world, Amruta explains to her about their traditions and culture so that it would help Isha in the future... Isha got more attached to her mother-in-law and feels free to ask anything from her... she observed her mother-in-law rarely spoke about Abhyansh's childhood and today is one of those times...

"Abhyansh used to like this a lot when he was a child", Amruta recalled stirring the milk, they are making Rabri Ghevar for sweet for the day... there is at least a single sweet dish every day which is offered as 'Bhog' for God before serving it to everyone during breakfast and since Isha did not have to go and offer her husband 'coffee', she has half an hour extra with her, so she proposed they could make something special for the sweet and Amruta instantly agreed... Amruta too loved feeding good food to her family but was not as obsessed as Isha... Isha could cook even when she is dying if it meant her family could have the food they loved and desired, she is obsessed with feeding people with delicacies.

"Ma... what was he like?? As a child??", Isha asked, it's very rare for her mother-in-law to open up about her husband's childhood, she always avoided talking about it...

"He...he was a typical mamma's boy... he was less expressive and barely talked even then... when he was 5 I took him to a doctor afraid he had some speaking disabilities, but then I got to know that he hates to communicate, that's all... I was relieved knowing he was fine. I didn't think his hatred for communication is such a big problem until...", Amruta stopped suddenly looking at Isha, and quickly wiped her tears...

"Ma... what happened??", Isha asked, she wanted to know more about her husband...

"I can't tell you, Isha... I want to share this burden with someone for years and when I found you, I know you are the person with whom I can share it, I'm sure you'll understandand support me, but I can't... it's Abhyansh's orders that I shouldn't talk about it again", Amruta said with tears...

"Ma... don't cry...", Isha said hugging and comforting her mother-in-law... "don't think about bad things, I know how much you love him... tell me all the good memories, memories that make you smile", Isha said, Amruta kissed her forehead for the affection and understanding Isha always showed towards her... both the ladies resumed their cooking and Amruta started narrating things making Isha giggle in excitement...

"He always wanted me to feed him, he was very mature, hard, and tough for his age, but with me, he was always a child, he loved me, he used to follow me to the kitchen holding my pallu till he was 10... I had to try hard to get him off that habit as his father hated it...", Amruta said, a wide smile forming on her face remembering those times... Isha smiled imagining little Abhyansh holding Amruta's saree, tailing behind her... he hardly smiled even in her imagination...
