"Maharaj is donating clothes, all the monthly groceries, and money to all his people today, my father was saying, it was the first time from the time he took thronethat he was personally participating in a donation event. He always made sure to gift his people things on festivals but never on an occasion, he must have loved his wife too much... though this is all in contradiction to his personality", Aashna said shocking Isha. She didn't know about this.
She understood why her husband is personally donating things on this day. It's believed that the 'Punya' of donation is only acquired by directly donating, not through others, and before he didn't care about it, all he wanted is for the goods to reach his people but now he wanted his family, especially his wife and his future children to reap the benefits of his good deeds. His love overwhelmed her.
"Yes... Maharaj definitely loves his wife so much", Reetu said giving a teasing smile to Isha bringing her out of her reverie.
After getting back to their seats, Isha called Avyan and asked him to go with his brother to donate things as if it's done by two people, it's done sooner. Avyan told her Ranveer is accompanying Abhyansh, but still Isha insisted Avyan join them too to which he agreed instantly as he wanted to participate in the donation event that's done for his sister-in-law's well-being.
It's in the evening, when the men returned home, Ranveer hugged his sister wishing her. Abhyansh frowned at how Isha's face glowed seeing her brother, he didn't understand why she loved him so much...
"Bacha... I have a surprise, but before that go and freshen up...", Ranveer said and Isha nodded.
The men settled down in the hall, Isha asked Rajmata and Pratap to join them as well which they did reluctantly. She made the snacks and coffee and tea and took them to the hall where her family is sitting, denying the servants who came to help her. For the first time, her whole family is sitting for evening tea, and she liked it a lot, she wanted to serve them herself. Avyan came to help his sister-in-law but she asked him to sit and talk.
Everyone observed the glee in Isha's eyes, she is so pure and innocent, and even Pratap felt happy looking at his daughter-in-law's happiness in little things. She poured coffee to her husband, Avyan and Rajmata, and tea for her brother, Pratap and Amruta along with snacks.
They started having it and that's when Isha cleared her throat gaining everyone's attention. She is afraid to ask but she wanted to, she kept pressing her fingers together and Abhyansh noticed she was nervous to ask.
"Rani sa ??", Abhyansh asked, he blinked his eyes in assurance giving her the necessary strength to say whatever she wanted to.
"Um... I wanted to ask you all something... consider this as my birthday gift... you can refuse if you want to, there is no pressure", she started
"What is it Ishu ??", Ranveer asked softly...
"Bhai... woh(that...) I wanted to go for dinner with our whole family... is it possible ??", Isha asked shocking the family.
This never happened before. Everyone knew Abhyansh would deny it, he was never a fan of going out with the family and they never went out like that till now. And for Ranveer, the last time they went out was on Isha's 10th birthday. He along with his bhabhosa and bhabho(Isha's parents) arranged a Disney Princess-themed party for Isha. His bhabhosa and bhabho made sure they go out or on a trip to celebrate their birthdays, they always loved him as their son and treated him equally to Isha.
"Okay", Abhyansh said shocking everyone... the most shocked one was Isha herself. He told her once that he hated going out with his family, in fact with everyone, she is the first one and it would remain so. Everyone nodded as none had the courage to refuse after the king agreed though technically they could refuse since Isha asked individual opinion, Pratap didn't dare to. After the family dispersed, Isha went to Rajmata's room to get started with the first day of her training.
And after that, the whole family went for dinner in another one of Abhyansh's hotel. Seeing the whole family shocked the hotel staff. The dinner went smoothly and they returned home. Everyone dispersed to their rooms, Avyan and Amruta handed her gifts while Rajmata gave her in the evening when she went to her chamber.
After that, Ranveer walked with Isha and Abhyansh to their chamber making Abhyansh groan in irritation.
"Now you will sleep in between us ??", Abhyansh asked irked with his brother-in-law's presence
"Rana sa...", Isha chided her husband's rudeness...
"Yes Ranawat... I love your abs, I love seeing you shirtless", Ranveer irritated his brother-in-law more...
"See, this is why I don't want him", Abhyansh complained to his wife, Ranveer was amused at his BEAST of a brother-in-law complaining to his wife childishly...
"Real mature Ranawat", Ranveer teased more and this irked Abhyansh a lot more than his tolerance, he took out the sword hung on the wall and put it on Ranveer's neck, Isha gasped while Ranveer sighed.
"One more word and I'll slit your throat", Abhyansh warned...
"Rana sa... put it back...", Isha said
"No, your brother should also know that, all these swords are not kept here for decoration", he said pissed at his brother-in-law and now his wife who is supporting him.
"He won't irritate you now, put it down", Isha said sternly, Ranveer nodded agreeing to her statement, and only then Abhyansh pulled the sword off and walked away throwing it in irritation.
"You really have a crazy husband", Ranveer whispered and Isha glared at him...
"And you really want to die...", Isha sighed and walked in... Ranveer observed his sister slowly changing... if it was the old Isha, she would have panicked and cried in fear the moment her husband put the sword on his(Ranveer) throat, but this new Isha reacted so calmly analysing the situation though she is a bit afraid even now.
Ranveer and Isha sat in the hall of the king's chamber, Ranveer gave her gift.
"What was the surprise you were talking about? Bhai ?", she asked
