"Take care of yourself...", he said, only if he could contain his anger, he had hurt her way too much. He could see her broken pieces behind that normal facade she is holding up for the family. His struggle to join those pieces begins now.

"I will", she said softly...

Soon after lunch, Isha and Ranveer went to Rajput Palace. Everyone except for Abhyansh were told that Isha wants to stay with her brother in the house she grew up for a few days, for a change. Rajmata Devyani Devi isn't stupid to believe it but she trusted her elder grandson, he is capable of things that seem impossible to people, he sure will set things right this time too, she is confident.

As soon as his wife walked out, he walked to the back palace, now she couldn't know about his injuries even if he had hurt himself, he thought, he asked Balwant to get everything ready for the sword fight but on his way to the back palace, he received a message.

"Going to the back palace is restricted for you Maharaj... you can only go there to spend some time with Sharah and Veera, nothing more, nothing less...",his wife's message read...

She knows him too well, her care made his heart peaceful... the commanding tone in her message quite impressed him. It acted as a balm on his wounded heart which is still bleeding from her words of 'MY Brother'. He knew she is not at fault, he didn't give her any reason to own him or his place or things, he didn't blame her, but the pain didn't lessen with the rationale behind it.

Isha and Ranveer reached Rajput palace...

"Bacha, take some rest, I'll prepare your favourite pakoras for snacks", Ranveer said slowly ruffling Isha's hair...

"No bhai, I'm not tired, I'll unpack my things", she said and Ranveer helped her with the unpacking...

The brother and sister settled in the hall as they were tired after setting Isha's room, unpacking her luggage. They saw Kailash's doctor walking out after finishing his routine check-up.

"How is he doctor ??", Ranveer asked, there was no concern in his tone, fire for vengeance can be clearly seen in him, the doctor didn't get what kind of sins the man committed to attract such kind of hatred from his own son.

"He is getting better, but like I said, he doesn't want to recover, which is why it's taking so much time in his recovery", the doctor said

"I don't know, either willing or unwilling, he should get fine, the sooner the better...", Ranveer said with determination, his tone hardly requesting... and Isha gave an apologetic look to the doctor who by now got used to Ranveer's and King Abhyansh Singh Ranawat's right-hand man Bhairav's rudeness.

The doctor nodded and left from there...

"Bhai, that's not how you talk to a doctor", Isha told her brother sighing deeply...

"If you have seen how your husband talked to YOUR doctor, you would find my way of talking way more polite", Ranveer taunted, Isha needn't told in detail, she knew her husband might have almost killed Sangeeta with his cold and dangerous tone...

"Don't bring Rana sa in between, I'm talking to you, just listen, I know you are concerned for Kaku sa, but that's not the way you talk to the doctor...", Isha started, Ranveer scoffed when she said he is concerned for his so-called father's health...

"Ishu... bacha... you are so innocent... and I'm at fault for bringing you up like this... I'm sorry... it's time you learn some things...", Ranveer said making his sister sit on the sofa and settled beside her...

"Bhai... what are you saying ??", Isha is puzzled

"Ishu... I'm not concerned for that man... I want him to get fine so that he gets what he deserved", Ranveer said, it's time he tells his sister some truths, of course, he won't be telling how he had his own father and caused his accident to make his sister come to him... but, he can at least be honest about his feelings for his father... "that man's pain doesn't hurt me Ishu, instead gives me pleasure, I want him to suffer till death embraces him, for what he did to you... that's my wish and I'm sure your husband would make sure it come true", he said and Isha's eyes widened at realization...

"Your husband doesn't know how much of a torture he and his wife had put you through, but as much as he knew, it's enough for him to decide on how to punish them", Ranveer said

"Did Rana sa tell you that ??", Isha asked further

"Ishu... bacha... think for yourself, why would he leave anyone who had hurt you ?? Did he leave anyone till now that he will do in the future ?? He punished everyone including himself, the day he knows everything about how my parents treated you all these years will be the last day for them on this planet", Ranveer said trying to make her understand how things work in her husband's regime...

"No, bhai, he can't know anything more... Kaku sa and Kaki sa might have done bad with me, but I never wanted them to gethurt... they are your parents, you need to protect them... we need to protect them, if Rana sa is planning something like this, you will tell me immediately", Isha argued still thinking she could stop her husband from hurting her aunt and uncle... Ranveer sighed at his sister's innocence...

"Fine, we'll talk about that later, I'll prepare some snacks for you, go and take some rest till then", he said getting up

"No, let's eat some patashi(golgappe)", she said with her eyes twinkling... a small smile made it’s way on Ranveer's face seeing his sister's smile, but suddenly her smile disappeared... "um... no, you can make pakoras, I'll help you", she said remembering the little scene in the past where her husband got so angry when she had it, he was very concerned for her...

"I know why are you saying this... don't worry, I'll get it from a safe and hygienic place...", Ranveer said and Isha nodded excitedly...

The brother and sister enjoyed their pain puri... Isha clicked the picture and sent it to Avyan teasing him. Apparently, her brother-in-law too loved the dish but couldn't have it much because of his elder brother's orders. Avyan just came home after a tiring day, just sat in the hall when he received his sister-in-law's message, he was upset that she left before he came home though she told him she would be leaving with her brother to stay a couple of days in Rajput palace. He immediately video-called his sister-in-law. Isha chuckled seeing the call, and accepted the call...

"Bhabhi sa... this is so unfair... how could you ??", Avyan complained... Isha laughed looking at Avyan's face. Abhyansh who is walking to his study which is on the other side of thepalace from his chamber, heard his wife's laughter. His ears strained to hear it, so he decided to stop and listen to her for a few moments, she is not talking to him, so he had to adjust with her voice for now.

"You are laughing at my condition ?? First, you went with your brother before I came home and now you sent me this picture ?? You know how much I love these, don't you ?? Bhabhi sa, this is not expected from you", Avyan said really upset...
