"What did you do that my sister is so afraid of even sitting on this bed?? She is shot for God sake, she is asking me to lay a bedsheet on the floor, she is not fine yet, why are you like this?? Why are you torturing her like this Ranawat??", Ranveer asked, his voice breaking at the end...

"Bhai...", Isha said slowly trying to take a step forward towards her brother, but a sharp pain shot up her spine causing her to lose balance, but Ranveer is quick to catch her...

Abhyansh fisted his palms to stop himself from helping her, but just by seeing his body posture, she understood her husband's distress, she raised her head and looked him in the eye for the second time, and the BEAST even forgot to mask his concern for her at the contact of her eyes with his...

"I'm fine", she said looking him in the eye... bringing him back to reality, he masked his feelings but didn't feel like averting his gaze from her eyes...

"You will sleep on the bed till you recover", he said, walking away...

Isha smiled widely, not for he gave permission for her to sleep on the bed, but for the first time, they both conversed like a normal wife and husband, there is no disgust in his tone and there is no fear in her tone or Maharaj in her sentences... But her smile soon faded, why is she happy?? She would never accept him as her husband after he called her sl*t, she would never forget that night, nor his degrading treatment, she reminded herself. Ranveer helped her to lie on the bed, she wouldn't have used that bed after he ruthlessly threw her on the floor and burnt the whole bed on their first night, but she is his slave and she is supposed to follow his orders, she is Isha Amar Rajput, and she would abide by her words...

Abhyansh entered his home office and threw the vase to the wall getting frustrated with what just happened, how the hell can he let her see his worry for her?? He thought to do something like hurting her to show her he isn't concerned for her but even the thought angered him, by then he understood that he didn't remain capable of hurting her now, so he decided the next best thing available, staying away from her... Deciding that he got on his work and avoided his wife's face or her tone...

CHAPTER – 15

It's been a week since Isha came to Ranawat palace, she didn't encounter her husband and she thanked her stars for that. She thought now since she isn't the one cooking or the one who is supposed to serve him, she doesn't get to see him much since usually, that's the only time she sees him, apart from when he decides to torture her or remember that she is his slave, and he wants to have his rights as a master. Honestly, she is surprised that he is considering not torturing her due to her injury. She remembered how he made her touch hot vessels, cook for him and serve him despite her both the palms being completely pierced by glass pieces and bleeding... But why isn't he torturing her now?? What changed?? She questioned herself, why did she see the concern in his eyes for her?? Is it there before or just these days?? Several questions ran through her head, but she had no answers to any...

Amruta asked about Isha's favourite dishes from Ranveer and cooked all those since she could eat some normal food in light quantities and not just soft fluids now... She took food to her daughter-in-law's room...

"Ma...", Isha called as soon as she saw Amruta carrying the food plate...

"How is my Isha?? you know, I made all your favourites today", Amruta said with a wide smile... She arranged the plate on thesmall table available in the room and Isha slowly made her way to the table...

"Thank you so much ma, I was tired of just having those fluids and soups... ", Isha said giving her mother-in-law a hug, and Amruta caressed her hair and cheek...

Isha started devouring the food while talking some casual things to her mother-in-law...

"Where is Ranveer??", Amruta asked wondering about her daughter-in-law's brother who wouldn't leave his sister even for a minute except for when she needed a bath or to change clothes...

"He needed to sort some issues regarding business, so he went to Rajput palace to get the required files", Isha answered and Amruta nodded...

"Maharaj is eating well??", Isha asked suddenly after some time and her question surprised her mother-in-law as well as herself...

"What??", Amruta asked, not bothering to hide her shock...

"I mean... I haven't seen him in one week, I mean... I... He, food cook...", Isha fumbled

"Wait... Calm down and tell me things like a normal human", Amruta said trying to stop her smile which is threatening to escape...

"Ma... I just wanted to know, he doesn't have any problem with you cooking and serving right?? If he does, I could cook, I amfine now, or at least I could serve him", Isha said, well that's the half-truth, the fact that she didn't see him for a week is also not sitting well with her...

"No beta, I don't think he had a problem with it, and no, I'm not serving him since he is eating in his study...", Amruta said sighing deeply, remembering about her son...

"But ma, he always prefers eating at the dining table, no?? I remember Avyan telling me, he never skipped eating at the dining table, not even once in past 15+ years, whenever he is at home...", Isha got worried, Is it because of her?? Will he punish her for this as well??, she thought, well she is partially right, it is because of her...

"I don't know Isha, and I don't care, now stop talking about him and finish your food", Amruta said sternly and that was enough to shut Isha up, as her mother-in-law, barely used that tone...

Just then, Isha received a call from her brother, she sighed and took the call, he called her 15 times from the morning, regarding her food, and medicines and to know how she is...

"Bhai, I'm fine, ma brought me lunch and I'm almost done with it, and then I'll take my medicines, yes, I know what medicines to take, and no, I'm not feeling any kind of pain, after taking my medicines, I'll sleep... Anything else you want to know??", Isha asked before her brother could say a word, Amruta chuckled seeing the cute siblings...

"Yeah, I want to ask you one last thing", Ranveer said seriously...

"Now what?? I answered all your questions", Isha said huffing...

"Which mental hospital would you prefer?? Curing your ill mental health is as important as your ill body", Ranveer said seriously and burst out laughing hearing his sister's laboured breaths indicating she is furious...
