"And how would I do that ??", Abhyansh asked
"You don't have to do anything... just say yes to whatever I say tomorrow", Isha said, Abhyansh raised his brows...
"I think I'm doing it a lot lately", he teased running his nose in her neck dropping slow kisses...
"Rana sa... first answer me", Isha asked
"We decided to leave the things that happen in the palace outside this room, remember ?", he asked and she nodded...
"Hm, you are right, sorry", she said kissing him softly...
---------------------
The next morning, after breakfast, Isha, Abhyansh, and Avyan walked to the hall to the hall to leave for the office while the other family members were walking to their chambers when Isha did the unimagined...
"Avyan... this is the key for the keys chamber in the garage... From today, you'll have access to it... it's your bhai sa's gift to you", Isha said, Avyan's eyes widened, he looked at his brother, who is staring at his wife with emotions only she could understand... "Come on, accept it... your bhai sa gifts or I gift you, it's the same thing, accept it", Isha said lovingly... Avyan slowly accepted the key, but he thought not to use it until his brother would approve of it.
"Your bhabhi sa is right... It's the same thing... you can use it, but be careful, one scratch and you are done", Abhyansh warned
"Yes, bhai sa... I'...I'll be careful", Avyan fumbled, unable to contain the happiness... "Thank you bhai sa...", Avyan hugged his brother and rushed away to the garage, even before Abhyansh realized what had just happened... Isha so wanted to laugh at the brothers, especially her husband who had very strange expressions on his face. Isha cleared her throat making him turn to her...
"Rana sa... Shall we leave ??", she asked softly...
"Hm...", he said and walked away...
"Ma... We are leaving for office", Isha informed her mother-in-law who is still standing there contemplating what had just transpired between her two children.
"Ha... Okay Isha", she responded and Isha left behind her husband with a smile...
Isha and Abhyansh settled in the back seat, and as soon as they did, Isha shut the partition and looked at her husband...
"I know you are very upset and angry with me, but trust me, you could only make it right by giving Avyan so much happiness that could make him forget the hurt the incident caused, and what better could be than giving him the collection you cherish so dearly ??", she said hurriedly and to her shock, her husband just smiled kissing her cheek...
"Who told you I'm angry ?? Maybe I'm a bit upset because that car collection is one of my prized possessions, I wouldn't let anyone touch it except the designated personnel who are responsible for maintaining them... You won't believe me but I personally took interview of them to maintain those cars but, when you rightfully gave what's mine made my day and your that statement, 'it's the same thing I gift or you do' got me extremely happy, I thought it would take me a decade to getyou to accept what's rightfully yours", Abhyansh said and Isha smiled at her husband...
"I saw the money bundle you threw at me, the watch you burnt my hand with, the remains of the glass pieces I got my palms hurt with, and every other thing related to our past in the drawer in the back palace, why did you keep all those safely Rana sa ?? Even the saree I made you buy for ma is there, I thought you would have already burnt it", Isha said, Abhyansh looked to the other side trying to control the fury he felt for himself... She knew he was hurting every second for giving her immense pain at one point of time... His regrets and guilt are eating him from within and she didn't like it one bit...
"Why did you go to the back palace and when ??", Abhyansh asked instead
"A few days ago", she said answering his second question... "Now answer me", she asked, "Why would you keep all those ??", she added
"You know why", he said
"Forget it Rana sa, don't hurt yourself because of the past, what happened has happened, try forgiving yourself, I'm trying too", she said
"I can't... You might forgive me one day, but I can't, I won't, neither do I want to try... now don't think much, all this isn't affecting me in any way... even if it is, nothing your one smile can't cure", Abhyansh said looking into his eyes... and she knew he is being truthful... her one smile made his world and she is aware of it... She knew talking to him on this matter is futile, she noted to do it after a few days...
"Hm... by the way... I need to discuss another thing with you... I was thinking about going to Rajput palace and staying there for a day or two... I need to talk to bhai about his marriage, I think itshigh time he gets married", Isha told her husband, she already talked to Abhyansh about it a few times now, but every time, he convinced her to give her brother some time but looks like this time she is very adamant... He tried to help his brother-in-law and give him some time to figure out things with Ragini but now things are getting out of hand, he doesn't want his wife to get hurt in all this fiasco, if that happens, he wouldn't hesitate to kill his brother-in-law, no doubt in it, determined Abhyansh.
"Let me talk to him ?? You are his sister, he can't be very frank with you, there are things he couldn't openly share with you, maybe he would open up to me ??", he said shocking her
"You would do that ??", She asked not trying to conceal the shock...
"I would... for you, I would", Abhyansh said, "and moreover, your brother has only us in the name of family, he is our responsibility now", he added, making Isha smile widely...
"I love you Rana sa, so very much, you are the best", she said tucking his arm kissing his cloth-clad chest, and he ruffled her hair softly, deciding to talk to his brother-in-law...
"But it's not just us, bhai has his parents as well, Kaku sa and kaki sa might have done wrong with me, but they love bhayyu a lot... I'm sure they want the best for him", Isha said and for now, Abhyansh decided to stay calm, recollecting how he took Sheela Rajput in his custody and shifted Kailash Rajput along with his medical support and doctors to one of his godowns. He wanted everyone who probably can hurt his wife, at his mercy before she took the responsibility of the palace and so he had to do it.
