***************************************************************************************
Isha entered their suit after settling all things, she prayed her husband to stay in his study but to her dismay, he is laying on the bed and by the look of him, he is waiting for her... She is shy to face him after his confession, she wanted to ignore it and become normal but for some reason it was challenging to her...

"You are here  ?? Go and change, and come to bed", Abhyansh said staring at her tinted cheeks... She looked so pretty blushing... 

"Ji...(Okay)", she said and took her pajamas and slipped into the washroom making her husband smirk... 

She came out after a while and settled beside her husband...

"Rani sa... About what I said in the evening, I didn't receive a reply, I'm still waiting", Abhyansh said

"Rana sa... I want to sleep", She said in her soft tone...

"Rani sa, your reply takes a minute hardly, respond and I'll let you sleep", Abhyansh said taking her palm in his...

"Rana sa... please", Isha requested making Abhyansh smirk... She laid down and he followed and held her in his arms, Isha moved to him holding his shirt with her fists and her little act made Abhyansh's heart feel the warmth he is deprived of... 

Abhyansh is about to take his phone and do some work when he saw her fall asleep, but her phone rang... Seeing the caller ID, Abhyansh is about to hang up but Isha woke up with a jerk...

"It must be bhai...", she said snatching her phone from her husband's hand... Her smiled widened seeing the caller ID, her sleep flew away, and Abhyansh clenched his teeth seeing her love for her brother...

"Bhai...", Isha squealed lifting the video call...

"How is my Ishu ??", Ranveer asked smiling at his sister's smile...

"I'm good bhai, tell me, how are you ?? How is Aryan ??", Isha asked excitedly

"I'm fine, that little bomb is fine too, doing his homework upstairs... Won't you ask about Vikram ??", Ranveer asked

"He will be always fine", Isha said, Both Ranveer and Abhyansh observed the anger in her tone, she hardly gets angry, both the men wondered what he did that made the ever-calm Isha angry, the BEAST even thought of the wild punishments if Vikram had hurt his wife...

"Woah, that's mean Ishu... I have never heard you talk like that, what's wrong bacha ??", Ranveer asked

"Nothing bhai... Tell me, had your dinner ??",Isha asked

"It's still afternoon bacha... and no, I didn't have my lunch", Ranveer said

"Oh! sorry, I forgot...", Isha said slapping her head, and Abhyansh's lips twitched at his wife's cuteness...

"Haha, you had your dinner bacha ?? How is Ranawat ??", Ranveer asked

"Yes bhai and Rana is fine...", Isha answered

"Until you called Rajput", Abhyansh added, and Isha held the phone so that Ranveer could see Abhyansh...

"That's what I thought Ranawat", Ranveer countered and Isha sighed at the word-war between her brother and husband...

"Now hang up, we want to sleep, you disturbed my wife's sleep, she needs to get up early in the morning, unlike someone", Abhaynsh said

"Yeah, my sister had to feed one particular BEAST, so she had to get up early and cook", Ranveer taunted

"Bhai...", Isha reprimanded her brother for calling her husband 'BEAST' making her husband smirk at Ranveer...

"You didn't say anything when he asked me to hang up but you are scolding me, how unfair Ishu", Ranveer whined...

"Bhai... it's not...", Isha is about to justify but Abhyansh interrupted

"Yes, that's because she is my wife, she would obviously support me...", Abhyansh added...

"Rana sa... please stop it na", Isha said and Abhyansh nodded...

"Just for you", Abhyansh said in his soft tone that not only melted Isha but also Ranveer and gave him confidence that his sister would be happy with the BEAST but he decided to tease...

"Ranawat... please... not at least in front of me...", Ranveer said and Isha blushed while Abhyansh rolled his eyes...

"Well, I have seen much worse of your acts with my eyes... this is nothing Rajput", Abhyansh said and Ranveer's eyes widened... 

"What do you mean ??", Ranveer asked, Abhyansh is about to answer but Isha snatched the phone and observed clearly, and she got shocked...

"Bhai, Is that Vikram in the kitchen ??", she asked and Ranveer immediately changed the phone's angle so that she couldn't no more see the kitchen...

"No, bacha... you might have mistaken", Ranveer said and Isha narrowed her eyes...

"Bhai...  I know it's Vikram, why is he cooking ?? It's always you who cooks when you are there right ?? Vikram's food tastes horrible, What happened to you ?? Did you hurt yourself ??", Isha asked getting worried

"No Ishu, he wants to try, so I let him...", Ranveer said but Isha is no where near convincing...

"Vikram wants to cook ?? Do I look that stupid to you ??", Isha asked and Abhyansh fumed in jealousy, how the hell did his wife know so much about that Vikram ?? when she never stepped out of the palace ever ??

"Yes bacha... Vikram is having weird wishes these days", Ranveer said

"What me ??", Vikram said who came to the hall after finishing his cooking...

Isha glared at he brother for lying... 

"Bhai, out with it", Isha asked... "And what are those cartoons behind the sofa, they weren't there before, they are not Aryan's as Aryan didn't like those cartoons, so many changes in the house, bhai, what's going on ??", Isha questioned and Ranveer sighed, he can't tell his sister the truth... hearing cartoons, Abhyansh smirked understanding the whole issue...

"Ishu, it's nothing", Ranveer said

"Fine, I'll ask Vikram, Vikram, I want you to tell me the truth, why are you cooking ?? and what's with the changes in the house ?? Is bhai fine ??", Isha asked and hearing Isha talk to him, Vikram jumped in front of the camera in excitement betraying Ranveer...

"I can't believe you are talking to me, I'll tell you everything Ishu...", Vikram said, and Abhyansh clenched his fists hearing him call his wife 'Ishu'... He is about to involve but his wife did the needful...

"Call me Isha or Mrs. Ranawat, and tell me, what's the matter ??", Isha said, surprising Ranveer, Vikram, and Abhyansh as well, she is not the one to speak rudely...

"Leave that, tell me what's wrong between you two, I'm asking this question from months now...", Ranveer said

"Nothing you should know/ Nothing Bhai", Both Vikram and Isha said at the same time...

"Isha, Your bhai has gone crazy, he is behaving weird from the time he came here, his weirdness is increasing day by day... he didn't wanna do anything, he is eating even the food made by me, you can imagine how crazy he has gotten", Vikram said earning a glare and a punch from his friend...

"Bhai, stop beating him and tell me what's wrong", Isha demanded...

"Ishu, I told you, it's nothing", Ranveer said

"Let me tell you regarding the cartoons Isha", Vikram started but Ranveer kept beating him and the phone fell down, Isha sighed...

Both Isha and Abhyansh can hear their fight and voices...

"Why did you do it ?? You promised you wouldn't tell anyone", Ranveer asked beating Vikram

"Ishu spoke to me after a long time, You know I love her more than I love you...", Vikram answered and Abhyansh's fury is endless...

"Rani sa, it's late, hang up and sleep", Abhyansh said, snatched the phone, and hung up...

"But the truth...", Isha asked, getting afraid of her husband's stern tone... He looked at her sharply which shut her up... She laid down and he laid beside her but didn't pull her to him, but she slowly wrapped her arms around his waist and nuzzled her head in his chest...

"Don't scold me, I can't sleep without this", she said softly that made Abhyansh cool down for a while...

"Who is he ??", Abhyansh asked and Isha understood he is asking about Vikram and also with his question, she understood her husband is mad because of Vikram...

"He is bhai's best friend...", Isha started but is interrupted by Abhyansh

"I think I already know that", he said

"and my best friend as well...", Isha added and Abhyansh's fury rose

"How is he best friend ?? You didn't leave the palace for more than 16 years, how did you know him and how did you become best friends with him ??", Abhyansh asked, his hold got tighter on her waist, she winced but he didn't lose up...

"Vikram is friends with bhai since we were kids, even my parents knew him... Bhai and Vikram went to the UK together and Vikram came to India with bhai every year and stayed in Rajput mansion for a few days... I knew him from the time when I was 4 I think, at least that's what bhai told me, I don't remember my days when I was a child much", Isha spoke and the fact that the Vikram guy knew his wife for so long didn't sit well with the BEAST, and every time she took his name increased his fury by tenfolds...

"Sleep now", He said controlling his fury, Isha wanted to ask him many questions but she couldn't find the courage to do so, she knew her husband is mad so she decided not to utter anything now, maybe she could talk to him when he cools down, thinking all this she fell asleep...

The next day, she got up at her usual time and started doing her morning chores when she saw her husband coming inside the room in a white kurti pant and his upper body is left naked, with a red shawl covering it...

Isha has never seen him like that, usually, he finishes his puja, gets ready in his suit and starts his work in his study by the time she sees him every morning...

"Rana sa... Good morning", she greeted bowing slightly, with a blush... She rarely saw him bare-chested...

"Hm...", Abhyansh nodded, "Isha, give me my coffee in the room, I'll go to the office from here directly", he said surprising her, Her husband makes sure to visit his study every morning... Going to the office without going to study room is a first, well except for once...Then suddenly the realization stuck her...

"Did you destroy the study again  ??", Isha didn't ask, but stated...

"Rani sa... Just get coffee, I'll change and come", Abhyansh avoided her question, and Isha would have laughed out seeing her husband's cute action if she wasn't so mad. He was being afraid to accept his deed knowing she would get angry... How cute...

"Did you hurt yourself  ??", Isha asked, and started checking his palms, elbows, hands, and legs without waiting for his reply...

"No, I am fine, I was careful", he said but unfortunately for him, she found a scratch on his left elbow and arm, according to Abhyansh it's equal to a mosquito bite but for Isha it's huge...

"This is what you call fine  ?? Rana sa, why do you do such things", She said getting upset and worried, before he could stop her, she went away to be back with the first aid kit, he didn't stop her as tending to his wounds would keep her in peace...

"I am not in pain Isha... Stop worrying", he said to calm her...

"How can I  ?? I seriously don't understand what makes you do such things", Isha asked finishing her first aid... "Anyways it's not like you'll change if I say, I'll send you your coffee", she said getting up. He is amused at her taunts, she is speaking that 'wife language' and he surprisingly liked it...

"Why send it  ?? It's you who brings it every day", he asked

"I am busy today", she said and walked off... Her cute anger didn't upset him neither did her negligence, every intolerable thing to him is cute, sweet, and tolerable if it's done by her, he thought. The very next second, he cringed at his own thoughts but that's a fact.

Isha sent the coffee through a servant and continued cooking in the kitchen...

"You look upset, what's the matter", her mother-in-law asked, who also observed her daughter-in-law who excitedly takes coffee to her husband every day, sent it with a servant today...

"Nothing ma, it's just I can't understand Rana sa and his actions", Isha complained...

"What did he do ??", Amruta asked

"Nothing ma", Isha said and Amruta didn't ask further as she knew her daughter-in-law couldn't resist herself if it's a matter she could share, whereas Isha didn't want to worry Amruta, also she would have to tell the reason why her husband got mad last night that he had to destroy the study, and she doesn't want anyone to know how the mighty king is jealous of his wife's male best friend who lives miles apart from her...

Isha and Anruta spoke about random things setting up the dining table, and everyone gathered for breakfast, Abhyansh too arrived and everyone started the breakfast after the usual protocol of greetings...

Isha usually sat for breakfast after serving her husband but today, she didn't and Abhyansh understood the reason...

"Sit down and have your breakfast Rani sa", he said in his commanding tone which she couldn't refuse... She mentally cursed her husband but resisted showing any action outside that would violate the set rules of behavior for a queen...

Isha sat and had her breakfast... And after breakfast, Abhyansh left first to his chamber, and Isha followed after settling the kitchen...

She entered the chamber and took out her work clothes to get changed and leave for work but her husband hugged her from behind...

"Don't be mad, I just smashed a few things on the floor, nothing much, and I wasn't hurt", he said and she sighed

"How many things, do you mean by a few  ?? A room full of objects maybe  ??", she asked and he smirked, his wife knew him too well...

"I was angry", he justified

"You should have let me talk, maybe your anger would have lessened hearing me", Isha said

"Another man's name from your mouth would make me madder, it could never calm me even if your explanation is justified and extremely reasonable, and my fury was going uncontrollable, I didn't want to hurt you, so asked you to sleep", he said and she just stayed in his arms analyzing his words...

"Are you sorry Rana sa ??", she asked and he shook his head making her sigh deeply... He is not sorry for breaking things as that really calmed his anger and he would do it again and again if he gets so furious... "Then why are you pacifying me when you think you haven't done anything wrong...", Isha asked

"Because you are mad and I don't like it all... Stop being mad", he said simply...

"On one condition...", she said and he raised his brow asking her to continue... "You'll let me clean the study, alone I should say", she added 

"No way, are you crazy ?? What if you get hurt and also the damage is huge... You must be crazy to think I would let you do it", he said angrily...

"What about the ones who do Rana sa ?? What if they get hurt ?? What about their efforts", she asked and he glared at her...

"It's their work Isha, Don't be stupid, it would get difficult to deal with my anger for everyone if I didn't cool off, and everyone has their own work... Mine is to protect the people of the realm, provide for them and look after their welfare, Managing such things, you can't expect me to be sensitive of everyone's feelings, chances of them getting hurt is lesser as they do it frequently, and I think of you because you are my wife and I love you... Their work is to make things easy for me so that I look at the bigger picture... Stop seeing everything with your kindness", Abhyansh said and stormed off... He is mad even to let his wife clean the mess he made... 

She thought about the servants who had to clean off the mess he made and she blamed herself for his anger, whereas he thinks it's their work, and everyone should be responsible for their own work, he does dangerous things to protect his people, he made many enemies and encountered numerous attacks and he never had to think about his employees little to little difficulties while work, he could solve their problems but if the work is a problem, he could nothing about it and Isha still has to understand it. She gradually started thinking after hearing his words...

She felt bad for making him mad again... She quickly changed and ran to down to see her husband's car leaving from the window... She sighed... but got a plan... she dialed him and the BEAST is already angry, he didn't want to blast on his wife, so cut it, but she called him again... he again cut it and the very next second, Bhairav's phone rang... Abhyansh's fury vanished and a smirk appeared, his wife is desperate, the thought that she cared so much about his feelings made him feel so loved...

"Maharaj... Rani sa...", Bhairav reported... Abhyansh added all his personal and security staff's numbers in Isha's phone for emergency purposes...

Abhyansh didn't respond but dialed his wife and seeing his call, Isha accepted instantly...

"Rana sa...", Isha said softly, he can hear the regret in her tone... "I am sorry for making you mad... I still don't understand but I'm trying... I don't like it when you are angry...", she said and he slightly smiled... he shut down the partition before opening his mouth...

"Rani sa... We'll talk about it in the evening, leave for office now... I think you're getting late...", he said and about to hang up...

"Rana sa... wait... I... I want a lift, um... will you drop me at the office today", she asked closing her eyes, she didn't want to take his help but she couldn't let him go to work with a bad mood neither she could start her day upsetting her husband like that...

He smiled hearing her request, she never asked that before... 

"I will, I'm coming back, wait for me", He said hanging up, his happiness could be heard in his tone though it's cold for everyone else...

"Go back to the palace", Abhyansh ordered opening the partition slightly, "to Rani sa's workplace from there", he added and Bhairav understood the rest...

"Ji Hukum", Bhairav said and started detailing the driver their plan for the day... Abhyansh closed the partition... They reached the palace, Bhairav got down and opened the back door for Isha bowing his head... Isha greeted him respectfully before getting into the car...

Isha checked for the partition and on finding it down, hugged her husband placing her head on his chest...

"I'm sorry, are you still upset ??", she asked and he shook his head...

"Your embrace can calm me down in a blink... I'm not mad or upset with you in the first place Isha, but I do expect you to understand me... I can't tell you some things, and I don't say I do everything right... This is the way I'm...", he started

"And I love you the way you are, and that's the reason I tell you things or try to correct you when I feel you are wrong, I felt you are wrong when you destroyed the whole study and left it for the servants to clean the mess, but after hearing you, I think it's better for them to clean the study a hundred times than deal with your anger", she said, she didn't even realize that she just confessed to her husband, in her hurry to explain herself...

"I didn't know that", he said with an amused expression, well, his happiness is clearly visible in his eyes, all he wanted to do is just pull her into a passionate kiss...

"What ??", she asked him with a confused expression... what he didn't know ??

"That you love me the way I'm", he said and her eyes widened realizing what just happened, did she just say 'I love you' to her husband... Her cheeks turned into a deep shade of red... Seeing her blush, he pulled her into his lap and kissed her
