"So, Avyan what were you saying ?? Your brother is an automobile engineer ?", Isha asked

"Yes bhabhi ma, didn't you know ?", Avyan asked and Isha shook her head.

"I never asked about his education... Looks like there are many things I don't know about him, anyway coming back, what do you want to do about the car ??", Isha asked

"I will accept it bhabhi ma... it's the first gift bhai sa gave me in decades...", Avyan said, his eyes dreamy, Isha is sure they were filled with memories of the past...

"What was the first gift your bhai sa gave you ??", Isha asked

"Pencil Box of pink color", Avyan said with a fond smile...

"Pink color ??", Isha asked with surprise, Avyan nodded, suddenly she saw Amruta's face go pale, she understood this was something related to Advaita so Isha diverted the topic... Avyan didn't know she knew, nor did she want him to know yet.

"Okay, leave all this, I think I know what to do...", Isha told Avyan with a soft smile 'I know how to make your brother compensate for your loss' Isha told herself...

"about what ?? bhabhi sa, what are you...", Avyan started but Isha's phone rang displaying her husband's name...

Isha picked up the call to only hear his frustrated tone which made her sigh deeply...

"You have plans to spend the whole night in the hall huh ?? Don't want to come to the chamber ?? kahe toh aapke kambal wahi le aate hai hum ??(if you say, I'll bring your blanket there only)", Abhyansh taunted his wife in his frustrated yet sharp tone...

Amruta and Avyan could hear his sharp tone from a distance, they wondered how the hell did Isha manage not to wince at that tone but her response surprised them...

"Why would you bring it ?? You are the king, send it with someone Rana sa", Isha teased

"Isha...", she heard her husband's warning tone which made her giggle...

"I'll be there soon...", she said softly hoping that calm her husband.

"Okay, ask your brother-in-law to check his mail", Abhyansh said and hung up without hearing his wife's reply which made her frown...

"Avyan... Check your mail...", Isha said, Avyan opened his mail in the phone and stood up with a jerk...

"Oh Sh*t... bhabhi sa... I'll make sure you reach your chamber on time at night from now on", Avyan said checking his mail with a horror-stricken face and looking at his inbox which is now filled with mail trails...

"What happened ??", Amruta asked

"Bhai sa cc me in about 30 project mail trails and asked me to prepare a summary for each of them, as I'll be handling them from now, so that I don't get time to chit chat with bhabhi sa", Avyan whined and walked away making the two women giggle at him...

Isha decided to talk to her husband regarding it but for now, she enjoyed her brother-in-law's childishness...

"When Avyan was very young, his grandfather brought two pencil boxes for Avyan and Advaita... my daughter as you now know...", Amruta started, Isha gently nodded holding her mother-in-law's palm to give her the needed support... "Pink one for Advaita and blue one for Avyan, but Avyan liked the pink one better, Advaita wasn't ready to share, so Abhyansh got another pink one for Avyan, that was his first gift to Avyan, he cherished it a lot, I think he still does", Amruta completed...

Isha hugged her mother-in-law seeing the tears in her eyes... Losing your child is a pain you would never recover from... Isha helped Amruta to reach her chamber, the walk was silent but comforting, both of them wished good night to each other and Isha reached hers where her husband was waiting for her...

"The queen is here finally", Abhyansh said, sarcasm and frustration evident in his tone...

"Queen ?? Where ??", Isha said looking here and there... "I'm just a cute, very sweet, loving and haan, jealous husband's wife", she added with a teasing smile on her face that brought a small smile on his face as well... "SorryAnsh... haven't realized time talking to Avyan and ma...", Isha apologized snuggling into his arms...

"I hate how you forget me when you are with them or your brother", Abhyansh said, she kissed his cheek tightly cupping his other cheek, at how cute he looked complaining... 'cute', maybe that adjective can be used for the king only by the queen, he couldn't look 'cute' to anyone except for her.

"I didn't, in fact, I was there talking about you only... I mean something related to you", she said with a naughty smile that rang warning bells in his head, that smile isn't good, he knew his wife better...

"Bhairav got his punishment, now it's Bhairav's king's turn", she added

"Don't tell me you want me to ask forgiveness from your brother-in-law", Abhyansh stated angrily...

"I won't, I know you didn't believe in asking forgiveness or accepting your fault, instead you believed in setting things right, I want you to do the same now", she said
