A week passed, and today is the final checkup of Ranveer before he is declared completely fit, he purposely arranged in the hospital requesting the doctor though they can conduct the checkup from home...

"Ishu, you will accompany me to the hospital, won't you ??", Ranveer asked

"I will bhai, I already asked Maharaj", Isha said and Ranveer nodded getting ready... 

He is glad, he would finally be free from the plasters and don't have to bedrest anymore... Isha went to Abhyansh who is working on his laptop...

"Maharaj, I'm going with bhai to the hospital as I informed you yesterday, If I get late for lunch, would you punish me ??", Isha asked, the vulnerability visible in the end, she is afraid of getting punished...

"No, You are exempted for today, but try to come before my lunchtime", he said and she sighed in relief, if he said he wouldn't punish her, then he wouldn't, She was in dilemma before, she couldn't leave her brother alone, neither could she get late, nor tell her brother about how her husband would punish her if she gets late... 

"Yes Maharaj", she said and quickly walked away, Abhyansh smirked before resuming his work...

Isha and Ranveer reached the hospital and got his plasters removed, Isha asked for all the details and checked about medicines with the doctors, after getting clarity, the brother-sister left the hospital...

She is surprised when she saw her brother getting into the driver's seat instead of the driver...

"Bhai, you can't drive, you just got your plasters removed, didn't you hear what doctors said, I won't get in if you...", Isha blabbered when Ranveer interrupted her strongly...

"Isha get in, NOW", Ranveer said and She got in seeing her brother's furious form... As soon as she sat in the passenger seat, he sped off asking her to put on her seat belt which she did after many failed attempts...

"bhai, drive slowly, bhai, you are taking a wrong turn, this is not the way to home", she said but Ranveer didn't bother to answer...

"Bhai, slow down, I'm afraid, Bhai, what's going on, tell me... please", Isha said... "where are we going ??", Isha asked

"Airport, We are leaving India", Ranveer said

"WHAT ??", Isha screamed... "Does Maharaj know ??", Isha asked... Is her husband getting rid of her ?? but why isn't she happy ?? She should be happy she is going away from that beast, but why is she afraid thinking she would never see him again ??

"Of course not Ishu, do you think that beast would allow us to leave if he knows ??", Ranveer asked

"BHAI ?? No, No, you can't do this, bhai this is wrong", Isha started crying suddenly realizing what a sin they were going to commit... She panicked, Abhyansh wouldn't forgive them...

"No, bhai... We are Rajputs, I gave him my word, that I would be his slave, we can't do this bhai... No, this is wrong", Isha tried again but Ranveer is nowhere to listen to her... They reached the highway and Ranveer sighed in relief slowing down but continued driving...

"Ishu... stop it, We are Rajputs and we can't go back on our word, but now those days are gone, I can't let you spoil your life, I know how that beast treats you, I saw your wrist injury Ishu... and later, I got to know through a servant, how you got it... He is a monster Ishu, I can't let you live with him... no", Ranveer said

"NO BHAI... I can't leave Maharaj, yeh galat hai(this is wrong)", Isha said sobbing... 

"shut up Ishu", Ranveer said 

"Bhai, I can't betray Maharaj, he trusted me and sent me with you, we can't do this to him Bhai...", Isha sobbed...

"Ishu... this is the only way to save you from that beast bacha... please stop crying, I can't see you like this...", Ranveer said

"Then, please stop the car Bhai... He will kill you Bhai, he can find us wherever we go, I only have you in the name of a family, please bhai, let's go back", Isha continued crying

"I don't care Ishu, I'm ready to sacrifice my life, I will at least have the satisfaction that I at least tried to save you", Ranveer said

"Bhai... please... If you don't stop the car, I would jump out of the car", Isha threatened...

"the car is locked Ishu", Ranveer said

"Okay, I'll shout loudly at the airport, I won't catch the flight...", Isha said with determination...

"You would do nothing like that Ishu, If you did, I would never see your face again, I will consider you dead the moment you do so", Ranveer said seriously looking at her, Isha is shocked hearing her brother... Suddenly her eyes widened looking at the front...

"BHAI... look in the front...", Isha screamed and Ranveer seeing the SUV parked in front of them applied sudden brakes...

Both Ranveer and Isha's eyes widened looking at Abhyansh coming out of the car holding a gun... Ranveer unlocked the car to tell him the truth so that he wouldn't punish Isha, at the same time, Isha got down from the other side and ran towards Abhaynsh...

She got on her knees continuously apologizing to Abhyansh as if it was her fault...

"Ishu, shut up, stop apologizing, it's not your fault", Ranveer said making her stand up and turning to Abhyansh who is giving a deathly glare to Ranveer and Isha...

"Mr. Ranawat, Isha doesn't even know about this, I made this plan...  If you want to punish, punish me, Isha is innocent", Ranveer said

"Bhai... no, do..don't lie...", Isha said and turned to Abhyansh... "Maharaj, I asked my bhai to take me away from you, I threatened him that I would take my life if he didn't take me away, so... he had no choice, It's all my fault", Isha said, Ranveer's eyes widened in fear as what would Abhyansh do to his sister... Ranveer was about to say something when Abhyansh looked Ranveer in the eye, and looking at Abhyansh's confident eyes, Ranveer understood that he knew the truth...

"I thought you are a wise man Rajput, how did you underestimate me ??", Abhyansh asked putting the revolver on Ranveer's head...

"Maharaj... Please I beg you, leave my brother, I will do everything you say", Isha sat on her knees sobbing, looking at the gun on her brother's head...

"That you are doing anyways", Abhyansh said looking at her devastating form... "I won't leave betrayers...", Abhyansh said... 

"I'm not underprepared Mr. Ranawat", Ranveer said pulling out his gun and putting it on Abhyansh's head when he was looking at Isha...

Isha's eyes widened... 

"Bhai...", she whispered cupping her mouth... "Bhai... no... Please no...", she begged her brother, she didn't understand why she is begging for such a man's life who has given her nothing but pain... 

Even Abhyansh is surprised, and the very next minute, he thought she is acting and disgust filled his head... Abhyansh had no plans of killing Ranveer, he was just threatening Isha... he also knew his wife is innocent, and she doesn't know about her brother's plans...  

"Great son, we are two and he is one... let's finish Abhyansh Singh Ranawat for once and all", Kailash said coming from nowhere shocking everyone except Abhyansh...

Kailash escaped from Abhyansh's men or should say, Abhyansh purposely planned all this, he made the news of his son's runaway plan reach him, and how Abhyansh is gonna catch them redhanded... Kailash who is burning for revenge didn't think much logic, he got the chance to escape and he decided to attack Abhyansh Singh Ranawat... 

Abhyansh lowered his gun, and Kailash smirked as he is winning, seeing the beast lower his weapon...  Immediately Ranveer lowered his gun seeing Abhyansh do so...

"Arre why did you lower your gun Ranveer ?? Shoot this beast, you will become the new king...", Kailash said greedily... 

"Shut up father, My weapon was just my protection, I'm not gonna kill him, and I won't let you either", Ranveer said looking at Kailash but he laughed like a maniac...

"I will kill him for sure, and if you try to stop me, I won't step back before killing you either Ranveer, this man killed my Madan, how did you think I would let him live", Kailash said nearing Abhyansh with his gun pointed towards him...

Suddenly Isha came in front of Abhyansh... 

"Kaku sa no...", Isha said, she knew her uncle couldn't kill her, she knew all the properties in her name would go to the trust if she died... Only Ranveer knew the actual truth... 

"Ow... The mighty king, The Royal BEAST, is hiding behind his wife's pallu ?? How shameful...", Kailash said... 

Abhyansh pushed Isha hearing that and she fell down... Kailash smirked as he knew that would hurt Abhyansh's ego and he would push Isha away and that happened... 

"Ishu...", Ranveer tended to his sister... 

Kailash shot toward Abhyansh but he missed the shot as Abhyansh moved aside, Abhyansh is looking at Kailash with amusement, no fear in his eyes... Isha got hell scared and worried for her husband, she didn't know why she is so worried for him but she is...

"Kaku sa... NO.... please no...", she kept shouting, trying to free herself from her brother's clutches, who is holding her arm tightly fearing she would go and shield Abhyansh and his crazy father would shoot her... 

"Bhai, leave me...", Isha said wriggling herself...

"No, come with me, we are leaving, it's time for our flight...", Ranveer said...

"Bhai... no... you can't do this, you are not my brother, my bhayyu isn't selfish... kaku sa will kill him...", Isha shouted while Ranveer dragged her to the car...

"No one can kill him Ishu, don't be crazy, at most, he will be injured, did you see his eyes... He is confident that no one could even touch his hair strand... Nothing will happen to him, this is the only chance we have, I can't let you suffer, I have to protect you bacha...", Ranveer dragged her, but she bit his hand and ran toward her husband...

Seeing her running towards Abhyansh, Kailash wanted to kill Abhyansh before Isha can shield him again... but Abhyansh has his own plans to dodge the bullets, everything is going as per his plan, but the only thing he didn't expect is his wife's actions... He dodged the bullet, he is sharp enough to calculate its destination with the way Kailash held the gun, but Isha didn't know Abhyansh has his own plans, with the way she saw the situation, it looked like Kailash shot the bullet and it's about to hit Abhyansh... 

"ABHYANSH...", she screamed looking at her husband's face, his eyes for the first time... He looked at her in her eyes for the first time too, and that very minute, he felt a strong pull towards his wife... He looked at her angelic face always but it's the first time he saw her hazel orbs, which held worry, fear, pain, and anguish for him...

He dodged the bullet and his men who are hiding behind fired at Kailash but Isha ran to her husband to check if he is fine, and the bullet hit her arm and she collapsed on him, and he held her in his arms...

"Ishu....", Ranveer screamed running towards his sister before taking her in his arms and sitting on the floor...

"STOP THE FIRING", Abhyansh screamed looking at his men... Kailash escaped in Ranveer's car seeing the firing stop... His men are shocked, Abhyansh Singh Ranawat never backed away from his plan but they weren't aware that their boss is afraid of another bullet hitting his wife...

"Ishu... Ishu... no, please don't close your eyes... No", Ranveer kept tapping her cheeks, but Abhyansh stood far looking at her, her eyes especially... 

He felt a sharp pain that he is trying to avoid all these years, a shield he built around him, to protect himself from the betrayal his loved ones cause, but one look into her eyes collapsed his wall... No, he is wrong, not one look, the wall started cracking when he first took a step back looking at her innocent face when he saw her face the first time, when he left her hair as hurting her seemed very wrong to his heart, on the day of his marriage, after that, every encounter with her cracked his wall a bit and the moment when she didn't fear the bullets and ran towards to check if he is fine, the moment she called him by his name, cracked the wall completely... 

He looked at her, who is looking at her brother with half-closed eyes... Now, the beast, has two options, save her and lose himself for life, or let her die and save his beastly form for life...

"Ishu... don't close your eyes... please...", Ranveer said carrying Isha to Abhyansh's car as his father took his car and ran away...

"Start the car, someone...", Ranveer shouted...

"We need orders from the king", Abhyansh's men said in their usual robotic tone... they don't have any feelings just like their king...

"Ranawat... I beg you, please let me take my sister to the hospital...", Ranveer begged but Abhyansh didn't move...

He knew Isha is capable of collapsing all the walls he has built around him if she survives, and for that, he would never let her live peacefully, he would keep torturing her, to teach a lesson to his heart and that would kill her every minute, it's better for her to die now rather than die every minute with him, thought he... but his heart didn't agree with his mind... The beast started feeling pain, even at the thought of her dying and that squeezed his heart and boosted his brain more, saying, this is why he should let her die...

"Mr. Ranawat, please...", Ranveer begged...

"Start the car", Abhyansh ordered settling in the passenger seat... The moment those words left his mouth, he knew there is no going back now. The driver started the car after Ranveer sat in the back seat, taking his sister's head in his lap... He tried to stop the bleeding from the arm... 

"Drive fast...", Ranveer shouted, he got angrier seeing Abhyansh sitting calmly as if it's nothing... His sister got shot getting worried for this b**t**d ?? Thought Ranveer... 

"Ishu... nothing will happen to you... I promise you, you will live, I know", Ranveer said crying holding his sister close to his heart...

"Don't promise something in which you have no say Rajput", Abhyansh said as if he doesn't care if his wife lives or dies but in reality, he is hell afraid from inside... This never happened in years, from the past 15 years, from the time he was crowned, he lost emotions bit by bit, and became the emotionless beast he is today, but she, his wife, Isha Abhyansh Singh Ranawat brought back those emotions today, and he is afraid of losing her, at the same time, afraid of hurting her if she survives, he wants to save her from himself and that vulnerability scared him the most...

They reached the hospital and Ranveer ran inside carrying his sister but Abhyansh sat in his seat motionless...

"Ranawat palace...",  He said, his driver bowed and started the car... 

He reached Ranawat palace and walked inside, Amruta who is in the hall, got shocked, seeing his white shirt soaked in blood...

"Abhyansh... What's this ?? You are hurt ?? What happened to you ?? Doctor...", Amruta screamed holding his arms and checking for injuries... 

"I'm fine...", Abhyansh said, he didn't pull away from his mother for the first time in years as if he needed her warmth, her touch to cope with the pain he is feeling in his heart after years,  hearing her scream, everyone came out...

"Then, this blood ??", Amruta asked with tears still running from her eyes, worried for her son...

"It's Isha's, Kailash Rajput attacked, she was shot in the firings", He said in his usual tone as if it was pretty normal...

"Isha ??", Amruta said shocked, Avyan ran to his mother to hold her before she collapses on the floor, he held her by her shoulders and made her sit on the nearby sofa...

"How is she ?? She is fine right ??", Amruta asked...

"I don't know, his brother is in the hospital with her...", Abhyansh said and walked away...

Seeing his behavior, everyone is shocked, Amruta looked at her son, and anger filled in her...

"Why didn't I kill you the moment you were born...", she shouted looking at her son who is walking ahead... his steps halted for a second...

"Ma...", Avyan handled his mother, before she could utter more things in anger, and get punished by his brother... 

"SK hospitals, emergency ward", Abhyansh said before walking away to his chamber... On knowing the hospital's name, Avyan ran out and brought his car near the entrance, Amruta got into the car... 

"Avyan, keep us informed", Rajmata Devyani Devi said, Avyan nodded and drove off...

The doctors started treating Isha, and since she has lost a lot of blood, her condition worsened...  but the bullet was pierced into her arm, which was not too dangerous, they were able to remove the bullet and tend to her wound... and luckily, they have her blood group in their blood bank, so they were able to save her, they said to Ranveer who sighed in relief...

The doctors allowed the family to see Isha the next morning... they informed them that it would take a few days for Isha to gain consciousness. 

Amruta cried looking at her daughter-in-law's condition... Avyan got teary-eyed too...

"Avyan, arrange for the doctors, we will take my daughter home, and I will take care of her, doctors told us we can take her home right ??", Amruta said

"I'm sorry Mrs. Ranawat, my sister is not stepping in that place again...", Ranveer said

"But it's her house too Ranveer beta", Amruta said softly

"No Mrs. Ranawat, you are always welcome to come and see my sister, but I can't let her stay there, not in this situation, that b**t**d left her on the road like that, I had to beg him to get her to the hospital, my sister is in this situation because of him in the first place...", Ranveer said...

Amruta didn't say any further as she knew there must be something more that has happened and this is not the right time to dig into all those things... so she quietly nodded at Ranveer... The next day, Isha got discharged and Ranveer took her to Rajput palace, his chamber still has all the support systems and equipment, he arranged for more which are required for his sister, and with the help of the doctors, he got her settled in his chamber...

He cried looking at her lifeless form, he never imagined that his one act would get her in this situation, the day he got out of bed, the very same day, his sister got bedridden... He sobbed at their fate... 

He decided, neither is he going to leave his father nor Abhyansh Singh Ranawat... He ruffled his sister's hair and let her rest, walking out of his chamber, to talk to the nurses and doctors about her health...

Precap - Isha comes to consciousness and asks for Abhyansh which makes Ranveer furious...
