Days passed and finally after 3 days, Isha came into consciousness... And Ranveer is the happiest...

"Ishu... Thank god, you are fine bacha... ", Ranveer said kissing her head...

"Bhai... Ma.. Maharaj  ??", she asked and Ranveer's face is red with fury but he controlled it...

"He is in Ranawat palace, you take some rest now", Ranveer said ruffling her hair...

"Inform him, he would be worried", She said and Ranveer scoffed, worry and he  ?? He wouldn't have cared even if she died, thought Ranveer but didn't voice out keeping his sister's delicate condition in mind...

"I will", he said...

"Did you take his permission  ?? Why am I here  ?? And not at Ranawat's  ??", Isha, questioned making her brother furious...

"Are you serious Ishu ?? You are in this situation because of that man, and he is not worried for you even a bit, he was ready to leave you to die on that road, I begged him to take you to a hospital, he didn't even call once to check even if you are alive or dead, why should I take permission from that f**ker  ?? You are my sister and you are at your place... Do not utter that Ranawat's name", Ranveer screamed and walked out...

Tears fell from her eyes knowing Abhyansh's detest for her, but she knew her husband was worried for her, she saw it in his eyes, the moment she called him by his name, she saw something in his eyes changing, and when she was hit by the bullet and fell in his arms, she saw his eyes held concern, and worry for her. That very moment, she realized he is not a beast completely like he shows people, there is little humanity and emotions still alive in him, and she wanted to bring them out... She didn't think she is capable of leading a normal life with him as his wife after all the tortures he put her through, but at least she could change the beast for other people and herself and make him a little bearable...

She didn't want to encourage that part of her heart which is ready to give away her life for him, that part that felt like dying thinking he was hurt... No matter what, she couldn't feel anything for her beast husband except empathy... She could never forget how he treated her, the doors of her heart are closed for her husband forever, thought she.

She took her phone and called her husband...

"Hello...", His icy tone came from the other side...

"Maharaj... I am at Rajput palace, can I stay here till I recover ??", Isha requested... Before he could answer, Ranveer came inside...

"Ishu... time for soup bachaa... come on...", He said in a loud tone walking inside... "Who are you talking to ??", Ranveer asked raising his brow...

Isha signed him to stay silent...

"You can", he said and hung up... A small tear left her eye which she wiped quickly and smiled at her brother...

"Why did you call him ??", Ranveer asked her seriously...

"How do you know that I called him ?? and not the other way ??", Isha asked to divert him from his question...

"Because that man doesn't care for you Isha, your absence doesn't affect him, get this straight...", Ranveer said...

"I know bhai, I called him to inform him about my whereabouts, don't forget, I had to stay with him for life, and I had to follow rules", Isha said softly...

"Ishu, apply for a divorce, please listen to me...", Ranveer tried convincing his sister...

"No bhai... let's not talk about it anymore... This is my final decision", Isha said and Ranveer sighed deeply...

"Fine, have this soup now...", Ranveer said feeding her the soup...

"We still have to talk about what has happened Bhai...", Isha said seriously and Ranveer nodded, he knew what was coming his way...

"We will, but not now, you need rest, you are very weak, Let's talk when you have enough energy to argue", Ranveer said and Isha nodded... 

He fed her soup and she slept feeling very tired physically and emotionally...

Abhyansh spent all his time in his office asking the servants to send his food to his office, this has never happened in years, he always made sure to have his food in the main dining hall... So, his decision surprised everyone in the family, but no one has the audacity to question him. And his mother is the only one who would worry for him, but after how he reacted to her daughter-in-law's state, she is angry with him, she is disappointed in him, so didn't bother to check... Even she didn't understand why she is disappointed as her son is always like this...

Abhyansh kept listening to his wife's words which she said to her brother in his car, while they were traveling to the airport, yes, Abhyansh got a tracker and mike installed in Ranveer's car... He expected Ranveer to take this step one or the other day, looking at the affection he had for his sister... 

He planned that day to teach a lesson to Kailash, he specifically wanted to do that in front of his son, because of whom he didn't kill him(Kailash) till now, but for the first time, his plan failed when the bullet hit his wife and he halted the shoot out... His men were ordered to shoot Kailash in his arms, and legs paralyzing him for life... 

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

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

Abhyansh kept hearing the recording in repeat mode, he couldn't believe she is saying that, anyone in her place would grab the first opportunity to run away from him, after all the tortures he put her through... Why ?? Just because of the word she gave him that she would be his slave for life ?? Is she really Amar Rajput's daughter ?? And just remembering Amar Rajput, all his thoughts became bitter, She is his daughter, he could never forgive that man and for the very same reason, he will hate her always... 

"ABHYANSH..." 

The way she called his name with so many emotions surprised him, she still has emotions like care and worry for him ?? How ?? He is more worried about his changing feelings, he never thought of a person so much before, he wants to decode her, what is she and how can she be so loyal and so kind towards a BEAST like him ?? And his worry for her is another thing that's making him think, how can he worry for a person, that too Amar Rajput's daughter ?? Whatever may be the reason or his inner feelings, he is not going to show any of that to her or anyone else for that matter, He is a BEAST and he will remain the same, he knew how she is, her condition, her health, he is the one who arranged blood for her, but wouldn't let anyone know...

He missed her food... She is a wonderful cook, and in these 6 months, he got used to her delicious food but as always, didn't express anything, he didn't want to change and he thought he wasn't changing, but the moment the bullet hit his wife, he realized how cracked up his walls are... and Now he started filling the cracks before the walls collapse completely disrupting his entire system...

A week passed and now Isha is a bit strong, to make conversations, though she had to lie in the bed for most of the day... Like every day, Ranveer came inside with her breakfast...

He fed her and sent the soiled dishes with a servant and got up to leave asking her to rest when she held his palm...

"You can't escape the conversation anymore, bhai", She said

"Ishu...", Ranveer sighed...

She signaled him to sit and he did, understanding he couldn't avoid this discussion anymore...

"Why did you do it bhai ?? You were ready to leave Maharaj to die ?? How did you think I would come with you when Kaku sa is practically holding a gun at his head ??", Isha asked

"And this is what I'm trying to understand as well Ishu, Why not ?? Why couldn't you come with me without caring for that a** ?? All he gave is pain Ishu, that man tortures you and you worry for him ?? What is wrong with you ??", Ranveer questioned...

"I don't know... but he is my husband bhai, I don't want to lie to you, despite all his deeds, I don't hate him, but I don't feel for anything toward him either... Except for empathy and a little care every human deserves... I want to live with him, because I gave him my word Bhai", She said

"It's not just a little care Ishu, you freaking took a bullet, getting worried for him, it's not just a little care, It's a lot more, which you are ignoring", Ranveer said and Isha shook her head, she is in denial and Ranveer got that...

"No bhai, I don't feel anything for Maharaj...", she said strongly and Ranveer nodded as he didn't find it right to stress her by making her realize her growing feelings for her husband...

"Ishu, I know you didn't like what I did that day but I'm not sorry bacha, I did what any brother would do... but yeah, the only thing that I regret is you got hurt because of that", Ranveer said

"Bhai... Please don't do this again, don't try to save me, this is what I want, in the past you had the option to save me, you could have stopped this marriage, but you didn't, now there is no use in trying", Isha said

"Ishu... please...", Ranveer said but she shook her head stubbornly... 

"I'm not leaving Maharaj", she declared...

Ranveer understood that now, he had to talk to Abhyansh. Only he could help him, if he relieves Isha from being his slave and signed divorce papers, Isha would automatically get convinced, and his sister would be free from the BEAST's clutches forever, but only if he knew, the beast now would never let go of his wife, not after what he felt when she got shot... That one second made him realize, he couldn't be sane without her anymore...

Ranveer sighed deeply and left the place, leaving her in her husband's thoughts... His eyes held some magic and the ocean of emotions in his eyes twisted her heart. When she was shot, his eyes expressed so much concern that it was as if he was pained by her injury more than her... And she herself is surprised about how well she can read his eyes... She knew her brother wasn't lying when her husband didn't care about her or even wasn't willing to take her to the hospital, but she also knew that he was concerned for her, she still has to find out why he behaved such if he cared for her... 

For Abhyansh, not seeing his wife was like hell, he didn't know he was addicted to her presence this much until the day she got shot... Just a few hours of not seeing her started havoc in his heart and now it's been 10 days and there is no sign of her, he had regular updates on her health but he never heard her voice or saw her and that was hell frustrating to him apart from that one phone call. But, like the hell would he show that... The feelings he felt now, are supposed to be masked and he did it with ease, but it frustrated him, earlier he never felt any feelings to hide them in the first place but now, he had to put effort to do that which didn't go well with him. 

Now, his main task is to get back his wife home, before he goes mad about the things he is feeling... He had to see her as soon as possible and he called her...

"Hello, Maharaj...", she took his call on the first ring... She just had a discussion with her brother and he walked out leaving him in her husband's thoughts, from which she was brought out by the very same husband's phone call...

"Be here by evening...", He said and before she could say a word, he hung up...

She sighed looking at the phone, he ordered her to come there, but how will she ?? She wasn't healed and her brother wouldn't send her, she sighed deeply, another fight with him to get him to drop her at in-laws'... She wanted to hate her husband for putting her through this situation but again, is she capable of doing it ??

Here Abhyansh sighed in relief hearing her tone, Is he that addicted to her ?? And that thought scared him, huh, one more emotion added to his list, fear ?? What is she and how is she capable of making him feel things ?? Is it because she is associated with him, Is this because she is his wife and carries his name ?? But his mother, brother, father, and grandmother are associated with him too, but they never made him feel like this... 

He sighed deeply, thought about her voice with which she greeted him a few minutes back, and got back to his work... And just like magic, he got back his concentration... That very minute, he realized, his wife is his distraction as well as his medicine to concentrate. She is his savior and his destroyer too. But, he would try to save his BEAST from her till he loses completely. He is determined to win though his heart which recently found its voice screamed he would lose this battle. 

Here, Isha requested Ranveer who is highly reluctant to send her to Ranawat palace but she kept persisting him, and she is getting weaker with each passing second arguing with him, and he can't see her health deteriorating, so he accepted but said he would stay with him there, she had no option but to agree to him...

In the evening, Both brother-sister reached Ranawat's palace, Abhyansh who got to know this from his men, walked down the royal staircase as if he is coming there casually surprising his mother and brother who are sitting in the hall and talking. They never saw Abhyansh these days except for when he decides to go to his office or his den... 

Well, To den, he wanted to shoot the man whose bullet hit his wife but he didn't, how could he ?? He was the one that ordered them to shoot Kailash, and they were just following his orders, and it was his wife who came in between, he was going to kill an innocent soul, that too his man, for obeying his words, just for his wife ?? and that came as a shocker to Abhyansh Singh Ranawat, one more emotion, shock, he felt because of her... Huh, he didn't kill but fired that man, as he couldn't have him on his team, now, every second that man would remind him of his wife's pain...

Ranveer held Isha's hands and helped her inside, he offered to carry her but she refused him, she took slow steps, and that irritated Abhyansh who didn't get to see her yet, as she is still walking in the long hallway... 

"Take the wheelchair out", He ordered and the servants pulled the wheelchair from the emergency room they had, and strolled it toward the entrance, they didn't know why, but they did as their king ordered, his orders were never questioned, no one has the audacity to... Amruta and Avyan are confused but soon understood that Isha is coming home... Amruta quickly ran to the kitchen asking Avyan to stop her at the entrance only...

Seeing the wheelchair, Ranveer sighed as he couldn't see his sister struggling, Ranveer made Isha sit on it before wheeling her inside...

"Who sent it ?? No one knows I'm coming here except for...", she trailed

"Maharaj asked us to...", the servants said looking at their feet and she nodded in understanding

"Please wait here, ma is bringing the Aarti thali (plate)", Avyan said with a smile, he is glad to see his sister-in-law fine... "How are you feeling ??", He asked

"I am fine now, little weakness is still there, except for that, I'm good", She said with a smile...

"Good ?? Say that in front of your doctor and he would show you the reality by telling you what all the complications you have, you are anemic, you are weak, your BP isn't fine, you are low at zinc, you need to take vitamins for at least a year and...", Ranveer went on before he got interrupted by his sister rudely...

"and you need a mouth tape", she said and Avyan chuckled...

"Have you ever heard of gratefulness ?? I was having sleepless nights, taking care of you for the past 10 days and you taunt me like this ??", he said

"Well, whatever I learned is from you since you are my elder brother, I took care of you for more than a month after your accident, leave about a small thank you, What did you do in return ??", Isha said glaring her brother reminding him of how he planned to leave for London with her... it would be a blackspot in her life if he got successful at that... She is a Rajput and she would stand by her word till her last breath... Ranveer sighed, he knew his sister would never forgive him for the stunt he pulled...

"I'm not sorry Ishu...", Ranveer said and Isha glared at him... Avyan is looking at them getting confused but didn't ask them as it looked like something very personal...

"Oh! I can make you feel sorry Rajput, Trust me", Abhyansh's voice boomed in the hall, he couldn't wait in the hall anymore, he wanted to see his wife but he is careful to mask his emotions very well, he waited for her to look at his face, into his eyes like that day, but she didn't, and he missed her eyes, from that day, he craved looking into her eyes, most beautiful eyes which held care and worry for him despite his acts... the most kindful eyes he ever saw... 

He observed her glaring at her brother, and also heard what she told him, he understood she is angry with her brother for pulling that stunt and didn't forgive him till now, her extremely high morals made him proud, that she is his wife, huh, one more emotion, Pride, he felt pride for something that wasn't because of his achievement, for the first time... 

Isha tried to get up in Abhyansh's respect but couldn't, she needed someone's help to get up after she sits due to weakness, and blood loss, she felt numbness in her lower body parts easily...

"Bhai... help me", She asked her brother who glared at her...

"You don't have to stand up in respect of king Ishu, after all, the king is very kind, and knows you can't do that, he would exempt you, especially when you got shot because of him in the first place", Ranveer said, his tone filled with sarcasm, looking Abhyansh in the eye with anger, but Abhyansh didn't enjoy it like every other time, as now the only eyes he wanted to look into are those hazel eyes which belong to his wife...

"Bhai...", Isha reprimanded still trying to stand up and winced in pain suddenly... Abhyansh looked at her with worry but within a millisecond he masked it with his usual cold face... Damn these feelings! he cursed inward...

"Ishu... Damn your stubbornness...", Ranveer cursed before helping her as she still didn't stop her trials to get up from her wheelchair... 

Abhyansh wanted to say it was okay, but he didn't want to make it obvious that now he cares for her, he himself is very much shocked by the changes, how did it change in just a single moment ?? He didn't get concerned for her before that bullet pierced her body, or to be precise before her eyes met his, and his name left her mouth...

He might be a king, and a very successful businessman, but he is low on understanding emotions, staying emotionless for more than 15 years definitely made him low on emotional intelligence. His wife was the only woman or to say only human who pronounced his name after his mother, he thought maybe that was the reason why he was feeling things, he didn't has any other reason to give for how would all his feelings take a 360-degree turn with just that, so he forced the female executive of his company, a young lady to pronounce his name, the lady was terrified, but since he commanded, she did, and he didn't like it at all, he hated it, the lady was extremely beautiful, had a wonderful tone, yet her saying his name didn't affect him but why his wife ?? He even asked the lady to look into his eye, which terrified the lady and she scurried away. There is a strong rumor that looking into Abhyansh Singh Ranawat's eye marks the last day of your life and it wasn't any rumor, only the Rajput siblings could achieve the feat till now.

Ranveer helped his sister and she
