"That's great Ishu... Vikram and Aryan would get so happy hearing this", Ranveer said

"Hm... don't tell anything to them yet, it's not confirmed yet, I'll let you know, bye bhai", Isha said and hung up...

"Isha... you are blackmailing me?? Where did you learn all this??", Abhyansh asked sternly

"After becoming a witness of people's cunning activities for years now, I learned some tricks myself", Isha said taunting him indirectly... god! he missed his innocent and kind wife at that moment...

"Isha... I won't hurt myself, it's just a little boxing and sword fighting", Abhyansh tried to convince his wife softly as he understood that his stern tone is not going to work on her now as she is very much angry...

"It's not even 2 days that you had hurt yourself badly and you want to do boxing and sword fighting?? What's wrong with youRana sa?? You love seeing me cry, don't you??", Isha asked and he knew she is just a blink away from crying...

"Okay, I won't go, I'll stay with you the whole night, I won't hurt myself, stop crying, will you??", he said in a tone that clearly communicated his irritation but she could also see his love and concern behind it... and by now she understood that her husband is not a softy, he shows even his love and care in a rude way and honestly, she didn't mind... she can always understand the emotions behind his indifferent and cold mask...

Isha mentally lauded herself for making the BEAST who never listens to anyone go against his plans... but she doesn't know her brother-in-law and she, herself had to pay for her this deed...

A pissed-off, moody, and highly irritated king is much worse than an angry king, Isha, and Avyan are going to realize this that night.

They reached home, and Amruta was waiting for Isha so that they can start cooking, she is hell worried about her daughter-in-law's absence, what if they get late in preparing dinner, her son would eat them alive... seeing Isha and Abhyansh walking inside, she sighed in relief...

"Isha... let's go and start preparing dinner, freshen up later...", Amruta whispered to her daughter-in-law so that her son wouldn't hear, who knows if he didn't like the way she talked to Isha, he would blast at her...

"Yes, ma... just a minute...", Isha said and turned to her husband who is about to walk away to his study to get some work done...

"Take this inside...", she said casually handing him her medicines cover to which he nodded taking it... "let's go ma... we'll make dinner, don't worry, we'll be done in time", Isha said to her mother-in-law who is still stunned to even nod, did her daughter-in-law just do what she saw?? Ordering her son to do a chore is not something she did even when he was young, maybe when he was a little boy, she might have asked him to bring one or the other thing that too very rarely... "ma... let's go... we are already late", Isha said holding her mother-in-law's shoulder...

"Wait... isn't it your brother-in-law's turn, the dinner for a week, remember??", Abhyansh said in his cold tone... Isha walked to him so that only he could hear her...

"Rana sa...it's from tomorrow, and please don't embarrass Avyan by announcing his punishment in front of everyone", she said knowing what her husband is about to do...

"That's what should be done when someone gets punished, I'm not gonna listen to you in this", Abhyansh said sternly...

"What would you get humiliating people like that?? All you need is them to serve the punishment, and that would happen na", Isha said remembering the time when he did that to her, and Abhyansh's fury on himself returned... Isha who realized this sighed... "please let go Avyan for this time... please...", Isha requested...

"The reason I announce it is though people won't fear the punishment, they would at least fear their reputation, anyways, I'll leave him this time... but the dinner should be on the table on time...", Abhyansh said

"What?? But his punishment starts from tomorrow right??", she asked

"Who said?? It starts right from that moment", Abhyansh said and walked away... Isha started biting nails in worry...

"Isha... what happened??", Amruta asked in worry...

"Ma... where is Avyan??", Isha asked in hurry...

"He is in his room, why??", Amruta asked noticing her daughter-in-law's worried face...

"Call Yuvraj here, right now!", she told the servant who immediately left to Avyan's chamber... "ma... let's go and cut the vegetables and also help Avyan... we can't cook but at least guide him, right?", Isha said taking her mother-in-law to the kitchen, on her way she explained in brief how Abhyansh punished the two of them for forgetting her claustrophobia...

"Isha... are you fine??", Amruta asked getting worried

"Ha ma... I'm, don't worry", Isha assured

"You should be careful... Abhyansh is right in punishing you both, why didn't you tell us before??", Amruta asked getting mad at her daughter-in-law

"Ma... leave all that, let's start working now... otherwise, Avyan will be done for", Isha said cutting vegetables, Amruta too started helping her daughter-in-law... both of them chose some easy dishes for that night since there is not much time to give training to Avyan... "Rana sa was going to announce it in the hall, you don't know how I convinced him... I also asked him tostart the punishment from tomorrow but he didn't agree...", Isha pouted

"Isha... beta, you don't know the power you have in your hands... making Abhyansh change his decisions is next to impossible and you did it in just 2 minutes, I can't believe if it's my son or someone else that I saw outside just now... he seemed like a normal husband to me rather than the king he is...", Amruta said and a wide smile appeared on Isha's face...

"Ma... your son is very good to me... he loves me a lot... you don't have to worry for us anymore...", Isha said and Amruta nodded with a tearful smile... "okay... now I'll go and give him some coffee, till then if Avyan comes, just ask him to start mixing the dough for parathas, while we finish cutting the vegetables, by the way only for us, for Rana sa, I'll prepare, he needs to have light food for some time...", Isha said preparing coffee for her husband...
