"Fine... I'll go, but don't show your anger on my sister, she is already upset with you, hope you remember this", Ranveer said and rushed out before his brother-in-law shot him in the head.

He met Avyan just outside his brother-in-law's cabin.

"Don't go in, your bhai is hell-mad, he might kill you if you go", Ranveer cautioned Avyan who glared at him in return...

"What did you do now ??", Avyan asked cursing his fate.

"I did nothing...", Ranveer replied offended by Avyan's statement... "I mean I'm partially the reason but I didn't do a thing", Ranveer said and Avyan sighed deeply.

"I sometimes feel, making our lives difficult is the only reason for your existence", Avyan said and Ranveer glared at him. "Ihave a meeting scheduled with Bhai sa, now I can't even avoid this, and neither can I have it easy", Avyan almost cried...

Ranveer just shook his head and walked away, praying for Avyan while Avyan prayed the same while entering his brother's cabin. Abhyansh remembered why his wife was mad in the first place looking at his brother and that's it.Avyan had the most difficult two hours of the decade.

In the evening, Abhyansh wanted to ask his wife about it but he didn't understand how to do it without offending her, technically, she didn't do anything wrong but it did anger him a lot. So, he kept brooding instead of trying to persuade her like every day, and this confused her, but she didn't try to ask him the reason, she let him brood, she just gave him the coffee and is about to leave when Bhairav made his way in.

"Rani sa...", he bowed, Isha walked away without responding to him making Bhairav regret hurting their queen. Before that day, Isha was very kind to him, she used to smile at him, and talk to him kindly, care for him which made the elder man happy though he never responded much as he wasn't used to having big conversations.

"Isha... at least respond to him", Abhyansh said, he didn't like seeing Bhairav regretting when there was no fault of his, he overlooked his wife's behaviour with his best man till now as he didn't want to upset her more but his irritation from earlier didn't let him ignore it today. "It wasn't his fault", Abhyansh added softly

"I don't see myself as 'Rani sa', why would I be responding if someone addresses me with a name I'm not?", Isha asked in her soft tone looking at Abhyansh and turning to Bhairav... "Aaphume humare naam se bulaye Bhairav, please (Please call me by my name Bhairav)", Isha said softly, Bhairav shook his head bowing in respect, and opened his mouth to say something when Abhyansh stood up from his chair.

"He can't and he wouldn't, no one would", Abhyansh declared standing up.

Isha wanted to strongly retort to her husband but she doesn't want to be rude to her husband in front of Bhairav and Abhyansh saw that in her eyes.

"Bhairav...", Abhyansh said, Bhairav got the king's message and left from there quickly following his unsaid orders.

"Isha, why are you doing this ??", Abhyansh asked for the nth time in the past few days

"I seriously don't understand why you ask questions, you already have answers to ?? And they need to learn to address me by my name Rana sa because that's the only permanent identity I have, you know why ?? No one can stop me from being Isha, not even you", she said making him furious...

"You have lost the ability to understand", Abhyansh spat, getting angry at his wife, but he is trying to control it still...

"Maybe I did, I don't want to be the only one who understands", Isha spat back...

"You really think I don't understand anything ??" he said and she looked away, because she can't lie looking at him, neither could she tell him the truth, it would make him convince her to give up her fight which she didn't want to...

"I don't want to argue with you", she said and left from there, leaving him in confusion and anger, isn't she the one asking for them to argue ?? He is already weak in emotional intelligence and adding to it, his wife's mixed reactions and emotions are making him more frustrated.

For the first time, he felt so irritated that he pulled his hair in frustration, otherwise not even a huff leaves his mouth, he was used to staying that cold and expressionless at any situation but his wife changed everything.

Abhyansh thanked his stars that he didn't shout at his wife, which would have made things worse, he prayed to his Mahadev asking for more patience to deal with his wife till he solved this issue.

Isha got to know the reason for her husband's extra irritation, when she spoke to her brother later. She wanted to clear to him that her brother insisted her to buy something for her birthday, that's why she went for shopping but then decided against it. She let him think that she is upset with him and asked for her brother's card to buy something. She wanted to push him to consider an alternative to her request if not the exact thing.

Abhyansh is irritated with his wife's childishness, he left for his study after dinner to stay sane and not shout at her. Isha kept waiting for him and fell asleep on the bed without changing. He came to his room in the early hours to freshen up as it's time for his prayer, his eyes fell on his wife who was sleeping uncomfortably on the bed still in her saree. He understood she is waiting for him but didn't want to call him.

"You and your pride Rani sa...", he muttered before making her sleep comfortably... he noticed the rough surface of her sareecaused a red rash on her soft skin, and the redness is even more evident on her milky skin. He sighed before going to their closet and brought a soft nightie.

He slowly took off her saree pins and is about to remove her saree when she woke up rubbing her eyes.

"Sleep", he said ruffling her hair...

"You just came ?? What's the time ?", she asked rubbing her eyes again to wake up fully.

"There is still some time for you to wake up, go back to sleep, I'll change your saree, hm ?", he asked softly, she hummed and closed her eyes while he took off her saree and made her wear her nightie, and applied lotion on her rash gently. She held his palm and pulled him to bed, he sighed, knowing she wanted him to sit beside her while she slept so he obliged.

"Why didn't you change before sleeping ??", he asked gently ruffling her hair...
