"Shut up... don't utter a word, how dare he name everything on you...", saying this, Kailash kept slapping and hitting Isha...

"Kaku sa... please no...", Isha cried but he didn't stop, that was the most brutal way Kailash had ever behaved with his niece.

"I'll kill you, but before that let me tell you something...", Kailash started choking his niece, he was fully under the effect of alcohol... "I killed your parents... I killed your papa, because I hate him...like this, I choked him to death the same way...", he said tightening his grip on her neck blocking the air supply from her lungs, but before he completely lost his senses and kill her, Madan came and separated Kailash from Isha, Isha lost her consciousness.

After that, Kailash got her treated, and with the help of a doctor, Kailash and Madan got her isolated for a week, saying she needed psychological treatment as she is in shock. Isha's physical injuries healed, and she came into consciousness after 1 whole week, and seeing no injuries or even a trace of them on her body, she thought it was a nightmare, even her brother and grandmother said that the cause of her parents' death is an accident, so she concluded that it was all a nightmare, but every time those memories pained as if they were real.

She didn't want to share all this with her brother as she couldn't hurt him by calling his father a murderer though it was in her nightmare. She suffered minor panic attacks whenever those memories resurfaced but she successfully hid it from her brother and Vikram, but when she is 15, Madan triggered thosememories by trying to choke her, which led to her panic attack, she felt as if someone is choking her. Seeing her state, Madan quietly escaped from there, Vikram who saw Isha's state tried to calm her, but nothing seemed to work, he called Ranveer and both of them called the doctor who treated her temporarily but informed them that it's something close to psychological trauma, and if not treated carefully, this could be harmful and the doctor being a well-wisher of Isha's father, warned Ranveer to not disclose anything about Isha's panic attacks to anyone as there is a huge chance of Kailash taking advantage of it. Ranveer, hence decided to get Isha treated by the person he trusted the most. Dr. Sangeeta Ramakrishnan, his friend's twin sister who was still pursuing her studies then.

----------------------------------------------------

Her husband's words about killing her father triggered her memories, she didn't understand why people hated her father so much that they wanted to kill him. Hearing it from her father's younger brother shocked her, but hearing the same again from her husband shattered her. She no longer understood what's real and what's her illusion.

She felt as if someone is choking her neck cutting air supply to the pharynx. She remembered her doctor's advise. Her uncle's words kept running in her head followed by her husband's...

"Ikilled your parents... I killed your papa, because I hate him...like this, I choked him to death the same way..."

"Never... NEVER utter Amar Rajput's name in front of me... good that he died without me killing him, I would have given him a living hell if it were to happen in my hands"

'Count Isha... count... divert yourself', she chanted to herself... but nothing worked, she had trouble breathing, she extended her hands to someone, anyone who could help her, pull her out of her misery but no one was there to even witness her horrible condition. She moved her limbs rapidly unable to handle herself, she felt life leaving her, but she kept fighting back for air, simultaneously counting numbers that her doctor recommended.

She couldn't fight anymore, she lost consciousness, the last number in her head '82'.

Abhyansh took out his anger out by indulging himself in sword fight and shooting. He decided to visit Sharah and Veera as he is already in the back palace. Sharah and Veera got excited to see their king and looked behind him searching for their queen. Abhyansh sighed deeply understanding them.

"Your Rani sa isn't here... I'll get her to you both some other time", he said standing up... they wanted him to stay for some more time but he couldn't, he had to see his wife. He knew she must be shocked by the kind of revelations he made. Honestly, if he wasn't furious, he wouldn't have disclosed his hatred towards her father to her anytime soon. He didn't regret telling her that but he definitely regretted the way he shouted at her.

He wanted to go but what would he answer if she asks him the reason for his hatred towards her father?? Will she be able to accept the truth?? Would she believe him or would she trust her father?? For the first time in his life, he was uncertain about the outcome. He decided not to reveal the reasons to his wife for now.

He walked back to the Study of the main palace, wanted to go back to check on his wife but before that Bhairav made his way inside.

"Hukum... here are the call recordings you have asked for", Bhairav said placing a drive on the table, he didn't understand why the king had asked for recent call recordings of Isha with Vikram and Ranveer. According to Bhairav, Ranveer very carefully wiped out all the traces of Isha's doctor, so he didn't think he would be stupid enough to mention it in any calls openly but he couldn't say that to his king.

"Hm... I know what you wanted to say, but sometimes, even the cleverest of the clever make stupid mistakes Bhairav, it's just you should be free of prejudices to catch that", Abhyansh said connecting the drive, Bhairav bowed his head and took his leave cursing his fate. He forgot that for a second, he is dealing with the Beast who could tell your whole history just by looking at your face.

He heard the recordings and got that one name he was searching for. Dr. Sangeeta...

"Bhairav...", he called for his man, who appeared in front of him in the next second... "Search for Dr. Sangeeta... you have an hour", Abhyansh said, Bhairav bowed and left from there.

Abhyansh left a sigh looking at his wife in their wedding picture. Bhairav found Dr. Sangeeta in the next 20 minutes but Abhyansh isn't in a mood to meet her now. He decided to do that after a few hours, he slowly closed his eyes thinking about his wife.

Amruta is waiting for her daughter-in-law from the past half-an-hour but there is no sign of her, Isha usually comes to the kitchen around 5 or at max 5:15 AM but it's past 6 in the morning but Isha is nowhere to be seen. Amruta wants to check on her daughter-in-law but refrained thinking to give the married couple some privacy in the morning. She was thinking Isha got late as they slept late, only if she knew her daughter-in-law's state a couple of hours ago.

Vikram who was worried for Isha considering the significance the day held for her, kept calling Isha from 5 but she didn't receive the call, now he is beyond scared.

"Um... Mrs. Ranawat... ", Vikram said walking to the Royal kitchen, Amruta is startled to find a man in their kitchen, that too their guest.

"Yes son, do you need something??", she asked rushing to him...

"Um... no Mrs. Ranawat, I want to see Isha, it's very urgent... I have called her phone multiple times but she hasn't attended... can you please send someone to check on her??", Vikram asked as politely as his situation allowed.

Amruta nodded and she herself went to her son's chamber; Vikram too followed her but stopped at the entrance. Amruta very hesitantly entered inside, she knew her son wouldn't be asleep till this late, and after seeing the servants cleaning the chamber with relaxed sighs on their faces, she understood that her son wasn't in the chamber. She quickly walked to their room to wake her daughter-in-law up if she was sleeping as her son wouldn't appreciate anyone sleeping late. Though that someone is his loving wife. Well, at least that's what she thought.

Amruta walked in, at first, she thought her daughter-in-law is sleeping, but seeing her pale face and her limbs' position, Amruta panicked. She screamed for Vikram who stormed inside and colour drained his face looking at Isha's condition.

"ISHU... OMG...", Vikram shouted rushing towards Isha. "Ishu... wake up.... Isha... no you can't do this to us... Ishu...", Vikram kept shaking her, Amruta panicked seeing Vikram's tears and vulnerable state.

He called Dr. Sangeeta immediately but she didn't pick up, she couldn't as she was captured by Bhairav and his men. Vikram called Ranveer and thankfully he took the call.
