"What do you want ??", he asked harshly, Isha pressed his palm asking him to calm down...
"You know I am afraid of hospitals, you used to accompany me always, I am very scared of the surgery, I don't know if I would come out alive or not, I don't want to die before hearing you call me 'ma', I am sorry beta, please call me ma once as you used to, I won't ask you to forgive me, but please call me ma",Amruta wept... Isha wanted to console her mother-in-law but she wanted her husband to do that though that's very unlikely.
He stood like a rock, with his face cold like always, she couldn't understand how he could stay emotionless without any effect when his mother is sobbing like that. He is immune to everyone's tears except hers, she remembered how he acted even before a tear fell out of her eyes. He tries everything to make her smile, why can't he be like that with everyone ?? She thought, if not everyone, maybe with the family, but she knew her husband is as emotional as a rock, she felt fortunate that he is ready to change for her.
If it's in her, she would never force him to do things against his will but she wants him to feel the happiness a family offers, the love and affection it gives is bliss and she wants him to experience it. Not just by giving him a family of his own in the form of his children, she also wants to improve his relationship with his already existing family. If she had to disappoint him for the moment, she would do it.
"Stop this right away...", he started
"Rana sa...", Isha begged him to talk properly...
"Nothing would happen to you, it's a minor surgery, get it done...", he said in his usual cold tone and walked out, Amruta's eyes widened at her son's compassionate words after all these years, while Isha stood shocked at her husband's words, how did her husband know the details of the surgery, he never asked anyone and he didn't even speak to the doctors...
That's when she realized he might have asked someone to collect the information about the surgery and his mother's condition...Isha smiled at the little hope of repairing the relationships in the family.
"Ma... take some rest, we are all right here...", Isha said rubbing Amruta's palm, which she held tightly, happy tears flew from her eyes, Isha understood her feelings, so she let her calm her down...
After Amruta slipped back into sleep, Isha walked back. She saw her brother and brother-in-law discussing something. She neared them only to hear Avyan talking about the details of the surgery... as soon as he saw Isha, he walked towards her followed by Ranveer.
"Bhabhi sa... is ma awake ?? Doctors need to take the consent and talk to her as well", Avyan asked
"She just slept Avyan, by the way, where is Rana sa ??", she asked
"Bhai sa is in the VIP room", he said, she nodded
"Bhai... ask someone to pack my luggage and drop it in Ranawat palace please", she said walking away to her husband, Ranveer frowned but didn't say anything, as a daughter-in-law, it's her duty to stay there and take care of things when her mother-in-law is hospitalized, and he knew she wouldn't change her decision even if he asks her to. So it's better to avoid that discussion, thought Ranveer.
"I thought you might have left to office again", she said entering in, and locking the door.
"Hm... will leave but in a while...", he said and she knew he was waiting for her... she settled beside him...
"Did you speak to doctors about ma's condition ??? ", she came directly to the point, he took a deep breath... there's no point in avoiding the truth now...
"I asked Bhairav to know the exact condition after Avyan informed me this morning", Abhyansh said and she hugged him not understanding why would he act as if he didn't care when he actually did.
"Hm... go now, I know you left all the work and rushed here... I am sorry, I won't act impulsively again", she said, holding his palm...
"About that...", he started, pulling her into his arms... "both of you will receive your punishments, you for doing what you did, and your brother-in-law for trying to save you", he said, slowly biting her ear lobe... Isha gulped with both fear and pleasure caused by his ministrations...
"R...Rana sa...", she managed to let out, with his palms caressing her body, his left palm slowly caressing her inner thighs... she took off his hand and stood up facing him, she knew she had to do something to escape the punishment for both herself and her brother-in-law... "you just became Abhyansh, don't turn into rude Rana sa again, I'm telling you", she acted brave and her act made him chuckle...
"Good act, but no my queen, this time, you'll get a punishment that will prevent even the thought of self-harm entering your head", he said getting up...
"Please...", she said hugging him...
"This will work most of the times, but unfortunately for you, this isn't one among those...", he said slowly taking off her arms from him, she sighed at her husband's blunt rejection, she cursed him in her head but it's clearly visible on her face that made his lips twitch. "Don't say anything to Avyan, you can punish me in any way you want", she said, without knowing what her words would make her husband think... he groaned before pulling her to him, he smashed his lips on hers sucking them, she tried to kiss him back but his intensity is too much to even try so she just let him kiss her, nibble her lips, bite them, anything he wanted, just like she said.
"I love you... so much...", he gasped on her lips after breaking the kiss, her eyes shut down unable to take the intense and passionate gazes, his eyes were shooting at her... "okay then, I will exempt Avyan for this time", he said pulling himself away from her, he knew he would just take her right away, if he didn't leave now, and the hospital bed is not something he wanted for the first time. He wanted his wife to have the best experience of their night.
"Really ?? Rana sa...", she started but he interrupted
"Abhyansh", he corrected her...
"Thank you Abhyansh", she said kissing his cheek... he smiled caressing her cheek and hair...
"You are coming back home tonight, I'll ask someone to pick up your luggage, just come home directly from the hospital", he ordered without knowing about her earlier conversation with her brother...
"Abhyansh...", she started, while he was looking at the documents John sent him on his phone...
