"Is that how you behave with a woman?? With a married woman??", Abhyansh screamed making everyone shiver...
"M...Maharaj... my sincere apologies... please forgive me...", Abhay let out those words with difficulty... everyone is looking down fearing his fury, but Isha looked at her husband who isn't looking at her at all, his gaze is only busy in killing Abhay who is half-dead by now... is he angry with her?? She thought, yes he is, he is mad at her for not slapping that ba**a*d right away.
"John, get him booked under PoSH(Prevention of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace), take her(Isha's) signatures", Abhyansh ordered, he wanted to cut the man's hands then and there for touching his wife but he needs to be rational and think as a chairman of the company not as her husband, that's what his wife wants him to do, he doesn't want to give bad memories of her first day at her empire. "Both of you, meet me in my cabin", he said strongly... "on the same floor", he added as his wife can't take the elevators, so he got a cabin for himself on the first floor too, saying this, he stormed out of thecafeteria, and as soon as he entered his cabin in the first floor, he punched the wall strongly...
Isha sat at a side table holding her head, her husband is definitely furious with her as well, her eyes welled up... John got the complaint ready but Isha is apprehensive. She doesn't want to drag her family's name to the court, she is concerned about her husband's respect, she thought the case would go to court. Ranveer who rushed there after knowing what happened through Ragini saw his sister hesitating to sign. He understood her apprehensiveness...
"Mrs. Isha, the investigation is carried out internally, there is a redressal body in the organization, so don't worry, it's your right", Ranveer said politely, if not for so many people, he would have hugged his sister, seeing those tears in her eyes... hearing her brother, she sighed and signed the papers.
"Mrs. Isha, and Ms. Shah, His Highness wants you to meet him, please", John said showing the way... Isha sighed and walked whereas Ragini shivered even scared to imagine what the scary BEAST will say to her. Ranveer understood her fears so he too followed them...
"I'll go first, he must be furious, I'll text you after he calms down, then come in", Isha said, Ragini nodded but Ranveer is against this idea.
"What about you?? He is furious, I'll also come with you bacha", Ranveer said afraid for his sister, he knew how possessive his beast of a brother-in-law is...
"Bhai... let me handle this please... I'll be fine, don't worry, okay??", Isha said
"She is right, it's better she goes alone, it's between them, it's better to let them deal with this alone", Ragini said as she knew it would be difficult for Isha to handle her husband in front of audience, that would always make her conscious but when they are alone, she could do many things to calm him down and as a woman she knew this.
Ranveer turned to glare at Ragini but seeing her confident, he wants to trust in her belief so he nodded surprising Isha... her brother wouldn't normally let her face her angry husband. She had to persuade him a lot to let her but this time he agreed so easily??
"But I'll come in if you didn't call us in 5 minutes... ", Ranveer said
"Bhayyu... 20 minutes", Isha bargained
"Not a second more than 5 minutes", Ranveer said and Isha sighed
"Fine, 10 minutes, now go in", Ragini said winking at Isha, Ranveer looked at her in surprise and shock, did she just speak in his behalf?? For some reason it felt good to Ranveer... Isha walked inside locking the door physically...
Ragini gave an awkward smile to Ranveer noticing his gaze on her...
"So sorry Mr. Rajput... but 5 minutes is very less considering how mad Maharaj is, I know I have no right to say that but any delay would anger his highness more so I had to", Ragini said and Ranveer frowned, why did she give him an explanation... huh... he left a disappointed sigh and she thought he didn't likeher involvement and even the thought upsetted her... "I am sorry Mr. Rajput... ", she started but he glared at her which stopped her from saying a word... around Isha he maintains this soft and child like personality but at that moment he looked very dominant and scary.
"You look smart but looks can be deceiving", Ranveer said and Ragini frowned... "Did you really think I minded your words on my behalf??", he said pinning her to the wall surprising her with his sudden move...
"Mr. Rajput... wh.. what are you doing??", Ragini said panicking, what if someone saw them?? Looking at her nervous face Ranveer moved away... thankfully Avyan came after he moved away...
"Ranveer, I heard what happened in the cafeteria, how is Bhabhi sa??", Avyan asked worried...
"She looked fine, but I have to talk to her later to know exactly, but your beast of a brother is furious, and your Bhabhi sa is a stupid, she insisted on entering the lion's den alone", Ranveer said
"Why did you let her??", Avyan asked getting worried for Isha... Ragini sighed at all the over protective men around her best friend, how the hell is she maintaining her sanity with these men around, she wondered.
Isha took careful steps towards her husband, he knew her presence the moment she entered his cabin and locked the door but he didn't look at her, he doesn't want to hurt her, her stupidity is causing him unexplainable fury... why the hell didn't she jerk his hands and slap him hard?? Why??
"Rana sa... I'm sorry", she said, she knew she is at fault but she didn't want to create a scene by reacting that's why she didn't jerk his hands, she tried hard to pull away from his grip though...
"Oh! so, Rani sa knows that she is at fault", he asked sarcastically drilling holes in her head...
"I tried to pull off but...", she started and that made him burst out...
"Pull off?? You should have slapped that jerk, ah... I feel like cutting his hands off", he shouted punching the wall, scaring her off... she tried to touch him but he moved back...
"Have you washed your hands??", he asked and she looked at him bewildered, he held her wrist, took her to the washroom attached, and washed her palms with handwash, he kept rubbing her palms, and that for unknown reasons made her laugh but she with a lot of difficulty held it otherwise her husband would have killed her... but the next moment, her hopes are shattered, huh she must be naive to think she could hide things from her husband...
"I don't know what is so humorous Rani sa??", he said in his cold tone that made her shiver...
"R...Rana sa... I'm sorry... please forgive me", she said, he washed her palms and wiped them gently with the hand towel, before leaving her hands and walking out, she sighed and followed her husband... "Rana sa...", she called, he didn't stop, so she had to run and pull him by his forearm to stop him...
