Page 2 of The Royal Beast & His Rising Queen

He got the pain under her words... and at that particular moment, he hated himself, but the very next second his fury returned, she was at fault, instead of apologizing, she is taunting him... he understood that she didn't know the truth, but he keptasking her if it's really for Ragini's mother and she lied to his face... she not only made him select a saree for his mother, but also made him pay for it, she might not know the past but she did know that he hated it and doesn't want to do it, then why should she do it...

Thinking all this, he gave one last glance at her and stormed off, locking the door and taking away her phone...

As soon as she heard the door lock, she busted into tears... she didn't expect her husband to punish her like this...

After a while, she fell into deep thinking, she never saw him so furious, and slowly she started thinking if she had hurt him or his feelings... why can't he tell her the truth?? She wondered... now since she has some time, she kept thinking about her husband, what if he is very hurt and she really did something unforgivable, maybe that's the reason everyone reacted that way??

But what's so wrong with celebrating her mother-in-law's birthday?? And gifting a saree to his mother?? Her mind is filled with questions...

During the night, a servant came to give dinner to Isha...

"Can I ask something?? Answer only if you could", Isha asked politely, and the female servant nodded

"Ji Rani sa...", she said

"Will Rana sa come here tonight?? Do you have any idea??", Isha asked

"I don't know Rani sa, but usually if someone in the family is punished like this... he or she is not allowed to meet any of the family members or anyone for that matter for the sentenced time", the servant said and Isha understood that her husband won't be coming there in the night... her eyes welled up... how could she stay away from him for one whole week... she thought at least he would come to see her...

"Okay, you can go, thank you for the dinner...", Isha said

"I'll come in an hour to collect the plates, is that fine Rani sa??", She asked and Isha nodded, "you can tell me if you want anything", she said and Isha again nodded...

The female servant felt bad for Isha, their queen is so kind, yet has to suffer a punishment like this... but they didn't blame their king, they trusted him too much, if he had punished his beloved queen like this, there must be a reason...

Isha suddenly felt homesick, she wanted to talk to her brother but couldn't... she felt like crying and she did... after some time, she slowly slept thinking about her husband and if he is fine... she is angry with him for putting her in such a situation butshe couldn't stop herself from thinking about him... he couldn't even bear if she shed a single tear, he must be very hurt if he had punished her this way... also, by sensing how furious he is, she thought he would be punishing her in a much harsher way, now that she thought of it, she actually got away with a way lesser one but still, it stung...

She didn't even know what she did wrong or why was she being punished... she didn't know why was she treated that way during the starting months of their marriage yet she gave him time to get himself to tell her, and now again this is happening toher... all these thoughts overwhelmed her and she soon dozed off getting extremely tired mentally and physically...

Abhyansh came in the midnight, and after making sure she is asleep, he came nearer to her and sat on the floor beside her, his heart clenched looking at the dried tears on her cheeks...

"You shouldn't have done thatIsha... you shouldn't have", he said rubbing her cheeks...

He lifted her and made her sleep on the bed and he lay beside her... today was emotionally very damaging for Abhyansh, with his wife's one act, his past wounds reopened, he took an oath never to buy a saree for his mother again in his life after what she did but his wife made him break his oath... even thinking about it made him furious...

He tried not to think about it as those thoughts would only make him hurt her even more... he actually wanted to burn the saree but for some reason, he couldn't, he asked Bhairav to leave the saree in the forbidden mansion at the back side, even Bhairav was surprised when Abhyansh asked to put the saree there and not destroy it... Abhyansh felt as if his wife wouldn't forgive him if he had actually burnt the saree... irrespective of his horrible past, he felt like respecting her feelings and that's a first...

Abhyansh looked at her serene face while sleeping and he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep...

"Look at what your mother is doing on her every birthday with the saree you are gifting her... how disgusting"

"Are you a part of her plan as well??"

"Ma, say this is all a lie...ma why are you silent, tell papa that all this is a lie...",

"No... you are lying... no..."

Abhyansh woke up with a loud shriek sweating all over... Isha woke up to his loud shout...

"Rana sa... are you okay?? What's wrong... Rana sa...", Isha kept shaking him but he looked so lost and shaking... her heart broke seeing him like that... she never saw even a tinge of fear, not even when her uncle pointed a gun at his head, but he looked so scared and it made her chest tighten with guilt, pain and worry...

"Ansh...sh... it's okay, don't worry...everything is fine... sh... it's okay... I'm here...", Isha kept whispering things taking him in a warm hug and slowly he came to his senses...

And as soon as he did, he broke away from her embrace and got down from the bed and is about to leave from there...

"Please stay... you are not fine... I'm sorry Rana sa... I'm really so sorry, I didn't mean to cause you pain... please stay", she pleaded with tears in her eyes but what she did is unforgivable, he thought... it's too painful for him...

"I don't want to see you right now... I won't forgive you ever Isha...", he said and is about to leave but she didn't leave his hand...
