"I am leaving...", she said and took out her suitcase, she placed her first set of clothing when her husband said something that shocked her from within...

"I can ask forgiveness from your brother, sitting on my knees, will that stop you from leaving ??", he said, he is desperate, she looked into his eyes and she could see the shame he felt even by thinking about it... yes, he did wrong by making his brother-in-law kneel in front of him, but in his defence, he didn't expect Ranveer to actually do it, considering he refused to do so even when his own father was at gunpoint...

Isha understood how desperate her husband is, to stop her, when those words left his mouth, he was extremely prideful and even sorry was asked by him only to her to date, for such a man even saying those words might have been very difficult.

She rushed to him taking him in her embrace... she never wanted her husband to do that, yes, if he asks her brother for forgiveness in realization, that's different, but that's not the case, whether it's her brother's dignity that was hurt or her husband's, she will be the one who is the most affected.

"No, I would never want that for you, even bhai wouldn't want that... Rana sa... Please let me go... try to understand, this break is necessary for me... for our marriage as well... our marriage never suffocated me when I was desperate to know the truth or even in the initial months when you hated me, but now, I'm afraid I would feel that way... you have hurt me too much, it's not easy for me to forgive you... maybe a little bit of distance would help me do that...", she said calmly...

"I don't know how to live without you anymore", he accepted shamelessly, and those words made her tear up, she just wanted to ignore all her feelings and stay with her husband forever but she couldn't... at least not now...

"I will be in your life always, just think I'm staying in my maternal home for a few days", she said as if she is convincing a child

"How long are these few days ??", he asked adamantly

"I don't know... during this time, you think about how to let me know about your past, that is important for us to move on inour lives Rana sa... I don't want our past to ruin our present and future... let's get it done with for once and all...", she said

"Can you go tomorrow ?? I want to sleep in your arms, just for tonight... it's been more than a week since I slept... I want to do it today...", he said and she hugged him tightly...

"Hm... sit down, let me clean your wounds first, then I'll go talk to bhai, and will come inside after that...", she said and he nodded faintly... if it's in him, he wanted to keep her with himself forever, but now his wife is determined to go away from him... he wants her to stay in peace, so he thought of giving in, before thinking of something to bring her back...

Yes, he regrets hurting her, he died every second thinking about her pain because of him, but if you think he would let go of her in his guilt or regret then you don't know the BEAST yet... he is ready to die every single second with guilt, but not ready to let his wife go away from his life. That's not even the last choice for him... he is cunning enough to do anything and everything to get her back... but, before he starts his game, he wants her to heal properly and is mentally prepared to handle the past he is gonna reveal, then he would slowly untangle all the problems surrounding them gradually... now it's high time, he established some peace in their marriage.

But he meant it wholeheartedly when he told her that he would ask for forgiveness from his brother-in-law if that would stop her from going away. Yes, he wouldn't mean that apology, and that sight of getting on his knees in front of someone would hurt his pride for life but if he gets to keep his wife with him, he was ready to take that shame for life but he forgot it's his wife he is talking about, that woman loved him despite all the things he didto her, why would she want him to sacrifice his dignity ?? Not in a million years...

Isha cleaned his wounds and walked out... she saw her brother pacing in the hall anxiously... his wounds are bandaged properly, she nodded at Avyan in a thank you who just smiled at his sister-in-law...

"Bhai...", she called her brother...

"Ha... Ishu... my bacha... you fine ??", he asked worried...

"Yes, bhai... let's go to Rajput palace for a few days...", she said... and Ranveer is surprised is an understatement...

"What ?? What happened to you all of a sudden ??", he asked checking her temperature...

"Nothing, I want to take a break from everything", she said

"Really ?? You don't want to take a break from your bhai then ??", he asked teasing her...

"No, you just took a break from me and Vikram, remember ?? So, no, you are not getting any break from me any sooner...", she said playing along...

"I don't even want one bacha... if life and that beast of your husband allow, I would love to keep you with me for life...", Ranveer said, his face turning sour remembering his brother-in-law...

"Tell me one thing, how did you change your mind ?? You were reluctant to go away from Ranawat palace just some time ago", he asked and Isha sighed avoiding her brother's question, howcan she tell him that her brother's suffering that too without any proper reason made her mad...

"Nothing bhai... please don't ask any more questions...", Isha said

"One last question, how did that BEAST agree ??", he asked and she sighed... "and why aren't you reprimanding me when I call him BEAST ?? Are you fed up with him ?? Shall I prepare for divorce ??", he asked earning a glare from his sister...

"Bhayyu... please, I'm tired... and yeah, we will leave tomorrow... pick me up from here in the afternoon, now go to Rajput palace", Isha said, Ranveer refused but she insisted him to go saying she is completely alright now and he left reluctantly.

She walked in and saw her husband's anxious eyes turning serene looking at her...

"Sleep now", she said getting on the bed beside him and he laid his head on her lap instead and she slowly ruffled his hair...

"You are still very mad at me ??", he asked and she hummed... "then how can you tolerate my presence, let alone take care of me", he asked holding her palm which is stroking her hair...

"I don't know, it's as if I'm in a daze when you are near to me, I tend to forget everything... but life can't go in an illusion always, I need to live in reality, and that's the reason I took this decision Rana sa... I don't want to live this half-baked life anymore... I want to live our marriage to the fullest, be your wife in all senses, and accept everything wholeheartedly, and that will only happen when we clear all the existing issues...", she said and he nuzzled his head into her belly hugging her waist tightly. Even the feelingthat she won't be with him in the same palace is indigestible for him... he is not used to do things according to others, maybe his wife was the first human being to make him do that...
