"I am busy", he said, he didn't want to see her right now, hurting her was the last thing he wanted to do right now.

"Okay then, I'll come there", she said, her tone held determination making him clench his teeth in anger... she didn'tlearn her lesson from morning... she dared to blackmail him to hurt herself after the morning incident ?? He fumed.

"I'm coming", he said and hung up, there was a hidden promise in his tone to teach her a lesson, and that made her shiver.

Her husband made his way into his cabin in the next few minutes, and locked the door before storming towards her and holding her arms in his tight grip.

"You want to come to my cabin in the elevator alone ?? Why are you hell-bent on torturing me like this ?? Have mercy on me, will you ??", he said, furious at her negligence for herself, what if she got breathless again ?? The memories of her getting breathless when she had a panic attack surfaced scaring him...

"I love you Ansh... and I'm sorry", she said, tears slipping from her eyes, his grip loosened on her arms, and the fire in him lessened... "have breakfast, please", she said, her voice cracking... he moved away raking his hair...

Abhyansh's eyes fell on the tray making him sigh in regret. Damn him... her hiccups brought him out of his guilt.

"Come here", he said softly, his wife moved into his arms and he hugged her tightly ruffling her hair... "I'm sorry my bacha, I didn't mean to be harsh to you... I'm so sorry...", he apologized, no matter how hurt he is, he shouldn't have been rude to his wife.

She sobbed more into him hugging him tightly, his words caused deep ache to her. She hiccupped between sobs causing panic in him...

"Sh... don't cry, Isha... have some water....", he handed her some water, stroking her hair and arms to calm her.

"How c. can you sa.y that ?? Don't you know how much I love you ?? Why would I want your life ?? Why are you like this ?? Why do you hurt me so much ??", she asked slapping his chest and he let her...

"Because I'm a fool... Rani sa... I'm sorry... I was worried for you... I can't bear the thought of you hurting, the hot vessel would have burnt your hand... and I got so scared", he said hugging her to his chest...

"I didn't do it purposely, I know you think I did it because I don't want to respond to 'Rani sa' but it's not like that, I didn't hear her... I was in my own thoughts, I promised you that I would never hurt myself voluntarily, so why would I break my promise ??", Isha explained...

"I failed to understand my Jaan again, such a bad husband I am huh", he said kissing her forehead, all his pain was sidelined at the sight of her tears, for him, her pain mattered, and he loathed himself for being the reason of her tears once again...

"No, I'm sorry, I didn't want you to give up on the palace's responsibilities completely, I absolutely didn't want you to give those to me, all I expected was to loosen up the restrictions on the family, or at least for you to open up a bit on the reason for you being so rigid about all this, but you took me in a completely different way", she said softly

"I know what you wanted... you don't have to explain yourself to me Isha. I did it because I want to. I can't loosen up therestrictions on them, but I can surely give those responsibilities to someone capable of it", Abhyansh said seriously...

"Then why did you give me ?? I'm not at all capable...", she said

"You will be... soon you will be, I trust you...", he said cupping her face and lightly kissing her forehead...

"But I don't want them Rana sa, I dislike the fact that our family members had to take your permission to even go out, then how do you think I would like them to ask me or come to me for every little thing... all this is so much of a mess, why can't you completely abolish all these instead ??", Isha said, serving breakfast in a plate...

"Isha... there are certain things that happened in the past, that made me tighten the security around the family, and also the restrictions are for the same purpose", he said sighing deeply, he didn't want to reveal the past to her, but looks like there is no option left, if he couldn't let her know about her father's deeds, he could at least tell her about other things right ?? Maybe that could satisfy her to some extent, he knew more than half of her complaints from him were due to the past that he hid from her.

"Hm... first, eat, we can talk later", she said forwarding his plate.

"I don't want to eat the food at the cafeteria", he said without even looking at the plate making her sigh at his tantrums, whatever the situation, his tantrums for food never stopped...

"I made it Abhyansh... in the kitchen here... now please have it without throwing any more tantrums...", she said irritated...

"You made it here ??", he gave her a surprised smile before started eating... she would normally prepare at least 3-4 varieties for breakfast but seeing only one, he frowned but didn't voice it out noticing her irritation... he is fussy about food and she handles him with patience but there are times she loses it like this time.

"Yeah... I made it here, I know you wouldn't have breakfast after 10, I could only cook this in the time frame", she said, answering his unasked question and he nodded.

"Have it, you too...", he said forwarding a spoon which she had reluctantly...

They completed the breakfast. Isha got up to keep the soiled dishes away, and then came back and settled on her husband's lap instead of sitting beside him. She nuzzled her face into his neck wounding her arms around him tightly.

"I missed you so much...", she said, he pulled her into him kissing her hair...

"I know...", he said, but she smiled at his hidden 'I missed you more' in his 'I know'.

"Why didn't you come to the chamber to change or to collect your handbag ??", he asked after some time of peacefully sitting in each other's embrace.
