He bit her shoulder seeing her trying to escape...
"Tell me one thing", he asked nibbling her ear...
"Hm... ?", she responded taking a harsh breath, he knew exactly what to do to make her lose her senses...
"Are you still bleeding??", he asked and she opened her eyes widely, she didn't understand why he asked it but nonetheless nodded her head.
"Okay then... let's postpone your punishment", he whispered, hovering his lips over hers, she wiggled her brows in confusion... "I am gonna take you to heaven and show hell at the same time Rani sa, I promise", he whispered huskily, while his hands slow grazed her skin near her waist and breast...
She gasped hearing him and his actions strengthening her understanding of the meaning behind his words...
"Let me sleep", she said pushing him, he chuckled and helped her lie down...
"Any pain?? Should I give you a massage??", he asked, she shook her head pulling him, to hover on her...
"What about you??", she asked and he shook his head nuzzling in her bre**ts. She took a deep breath but soon got comfortable. She slowly started ruffling his hair, slowly massaging his scalp with her fingers... he sighed relaxing under her touch...
"Oil se kare??(shall I massage it with oil??)", she asked
"No, this is fine...", he said laying comfortably on the bed, with his head nuzzled in her chest and arms wounded around her body... "this is heaven, all my worries just evaporate when I am in your arms", he said, she kissed his hair softly before resuming her massage on his scalp...
"Sleep now...", she said noticing her husband's fatigue, mentally... she knew he never got tired physically but he looked mentally burdened today, she hated herself for forcing him to face his mother but didn't regret pushing him.
Remembering the past got him very upset but like always, he found solace in his wife's arms, he didn't stop himself from relying on her, he trusted her blindly, and knew she would never leave him or betray him.
Both of them closed their eyes enjoying the comfortable silence, soon, she fell asleep with her fingers in his thick locks... he slowly lifted his head feeling her even breaths, he laid his head on the pillow comfortably before pulling her into his arms, shecocooned into him, hiding herself in his warmth. He knew his wife loved the warmth emanating from him.
The next day, Isha quickly prepared breakfast and sent it to Avyan along with his clothes. Later, she got the table set for breakfast. Slowly, everyone settled in the dining table, Rajmata and Pratap raised their brows in confusion seeing Anshi as no normal person is allowed to enter the main palace, let alone have food with the Royal family.
Isha is about to narrate the whole thing but Ranveer interrupted his sister, as he knew his brother-in-law doesn't want to let the whole thing be disclosed to the other family members.
"She is Ishu's friend", Ranveer quickly said, but both Pratap and Devyani knew that isn't the truth seeing Isha's confused face but they didn't find it important to cross question.
"I am happy to see you back, handling your responsibilities, Rani Isha, hope you are here to stay", Devyani said, honestly, when Isha left, Devyani was so disappointed, she expected Isha to become a strong queen, face any kind of challenges, not run to her home seeking comfort from her brother. She doesn't know the reason behind Isha's departure but she thought any reason wouldn't justify her act.
"Ji(Yes) Rajmata, I'll stay here from now", Isha said meekly, lowering her head, she could feel Devyani's scrutinizing eyes...
"Rajmata, I insisted Ishu and took her with me for recovery, it wasn't her fault", Ranveer came to his sister's rescue... Isha looked at her brother sighing, why did he has to defend her ?
"Of course, I was waiting for you to defend her...", she said shooting a glare at Isha... "how would she become a strong queen if you and Maharaj keep coming to her rescue always ?? Let her handle challenges alone, she isn't any normal woman, she is the wife of Abhyansh Singh Ranawat, she needs to be extremely strong emotionally to handle any challenges that come her way", Rajmata Devyani said, she always wished for the welfare of the family...
Just then, Abhyansh made his way, unfortunately hearing what his grandmother said...
"And who said she isn't strong ?? I thought you had adiscerning eye but seems like not... it's either you or me who might be wrong here", Abhyansh said in his cold tone, Isha so wanted to slap her head... Anshi looked so scared witnessing the whole scene...
"Maharaj... how could you be wrong... I didn't mean to call Rani sa weak, my bad, I couldn't use the right words", Rajmata Devyani Devi chose words carefully this time to calm her grandson's fury.
Abhyansh is about to say something when Isha gives her husband a look with 'not a word more than this', Abhyansh nodded at his grandmother and sat at his seat... he so wanted to say more than that but didn't want to say anything that could make his grandmother feel insulted in front of an outsider, if that happens, his wife wouldn't leave him... he can't bear her to be upset with him. She served him, he looked content seeing all his favourites on the plate.
"Aap bhi baithiye Rani sa(You too, take your seat Rani sa)", Abhyansh said, though his tone cold, anyone could realize the love and respect he had for his wife...
"Ji (Yes)", she obliged her husband and took her seat beside him...
Anshi felt so good, looking at the two, and their mutual respect for each other, she hoped her to be husband is the same with her, she didn't know much about him, it's an arranged marriage, only if she knew what she is dreaming for was already shattered.
After the breakfast, Abhyansh walked away to his study. Isha apologized to Rajmata fearing she would hold it against her. Devyani Devi just smiled shaking her head, understanding Isha's fears. Ranveer got up and left to the guest chamber he was staying in after greeting Rajmata and Pratap.
"Anshi, go and collect your things, I'll ask bhai to drop you", Isha said, Anshi nodded and walked to the guest chamber she stayed the previous night, but before leaving, she bowed down in respect and greeted Rajmata and Pratap...
