CHAPTER – 7
The darkness outside showed that the sunrise was still a few hours away, but the BEAST's day started too early courtesy, his desire to end his enemy's days. Abhyansh walked through the dark alley which led to his den... The place was stark dark but his confident steps showed his familiarity with the place.
As soon as he entered the place, he was greeted by the painful groans of one of his foes.
"me vrit te lutem (Kill me, Please)", he heard a man's painful scream followed by two other men's agonizing screams
Abhyansh smirked hearing the very common yet pleasing sounds of his enemies... All his enemies begged him to end their lives, he made sure to make their living so agonizing that they all preferred death over life anytime, and he is determined to keep it that way.
"You know exactly how to welcome me Khan Saab", Abhyansh said surprising Mr. Khan... Abhyansh addressed him ' Khan saab' very rarely, only in two conditions... One when he was extremely mad, or else extremely pleased with him, and by his tone, Mr. Khan could easily guess it was the latter emotion.
"I'm glad you are pleased Maharaj", Khan said as if the three men weren't bleeding from every part of their body right there "They are the people who are left alive with the knowledge of Ilir's actual demise", Khan said, his tone turning from amusement to serious, when it came to work. Abhyansh acknowledged his statement with a nod.
Ilir Dervishi, the cause of Abhyansh Singh Ranawat's only lie. His death occurred almost two decades ago, that's what he made the world believe in, for the sake of Bhairav. When Bhuvan was killed during the attacks on Ranawat palace, Bhairav vowed to not touch a single morsel until he ended all the perpetrators of his brother and Abhyansh killed every single human mercilessly, he was a wounded lion hungry for revenge and he hunted each one responsible for the destruction except for Ilir Dervishi, one of the masterminds of the attack was roaming free, he was hidden in such a place that was taking time for Abhyansh to track him down, but unfortunately, Bhairav's health started deteriorating, and after losing Bhuvan, Abhyansh refused to let Bhairav go, so he did what he despised all his life, he lied to him that Ilri Dervishi died.
A week after that, he pinned him down. He would have killed him after torturing him for a few days if he had found him a week prior but the fact that he made the BEAST lie to his most trusted man Bhairav made him furious and as always his fury turned his foes into ashes and the same happened with Ilir, he was tortured for about 2 decades before he was burnt alive along with the building that had seen and heard his painful moans for years.
Abhyansh wouldn't have let him die even then but Ilir's partners after searching for decades finally found proof that he wasn't dead and Abhyansh couldn't let this news reach Bhairav even as a rumor, so he ended his life followed by all his partners who found the proof, except for these three, he couldn't kill them as they have responsibilities to fulfill. One man had his daughter's wedding scheduled, another one's wife was on deathbed, and another man's pregnant & widowed daughter had only him(her father) in the name of family.
If he was the same man he was before his wife entered his life, he would have killed them the very moment he found them, but the empathy his wife brought out in him didn't allow him to do so. Hence, he waited for the right moment, he ordered his men to bring the first man after his daughter's wedding, the second after his wife took her last breath peacefully, and the third man after his daughter gave birth. The three men sure were sinners but unfortunately, he couldn't punish their families since they were innocent, so he did what he could. There was no way his wife would know about it but even then, he wouldn't want to do something that would disappoint her. He loved her too much to cause any kind of negative emotions to her.
The familiar and painful ache made its home in his heart, the pain of guilt and regret for how he treated his wife, how he punished her brutally for her parent's sins, especially her father's sins. A new rule of not punishing innocents added to his list of values he wouldn't dodge even when he was at an inch distance from death. Only if he had this prior, he wouldn't have hurt his wife ever, the agonizing physical and mental pain he gave to his wife and the deeds he did to her were unforgivable, he couldn't face himself many times, and he knew he deserved this pain throughout his life, and that was why he never let his wife comfort him, he knew he deserved the ache and much more than that and no matter what she believed, he was determined to face it. His brain started to recollect some things in support of his actions but he quickly shut it with a clear warning... What he did to his wife was a sin, there was no debate about it, nothing would justify it he warned his head for once and all.
"End their lives, Khan... Tonight", Abhyansh said and got up suddenly, surprising Mr. Khan. He thought Abhyansh would enjoy torturing these men but he got up and ordered their killing instead.
"Maharaj...", Zahid Shah Khan started but one look from Abhyansh was enough to close his mouth. "Yes Your Highness, will let you know soon after the job is done", Khan said, Abhaynsh gave a curt nod and left from there...
On his way, he called his wife, his heart carried an unsettling but always-existing pain whenever he was reminded of the torture he did to her.
"Rana sa... I was just thinking about you", her cheerful tone greeted him...
"Hm...", he said waiting for her to say more as he wanted to listen to her, just listen to her. His agony didn't let him talk much, one she would sense it from his tone that he was hurting, two he didn't know what to do except to hear her.
"Are you fine ? What's wrong ?", she asked, she could sense the cold aura... Sh*t, she sensed it even if he didn't utter a word.
"I just want to hear you, tell me about your day Rani sa", he asked, she sensed the heaviness in his tone but refrained from commenting on it, she knew he would get fine by hearing her so she started narrating her day and what all she did, and soon his heart lightened and a small smile formed in his lips...
"I miss you Isha...", he said and she was startled to hear him, well she knew he missed her a lot, but it was just a day since he traveled and as far as she knew her husband, he didn't like expressing his feelings much, especially about how much he missed her.
"Hm...", She said analyzing the situation...
"What Hm ? Don't you miss me ?", he asked, she imagined the deep frown on his face and the desire to tease him arouse...
"Well... It's just a day since you have gone there Rana sa, moreover, I don't have time to miss you, Avyan, Ma, and I are discussing things", she said
"Avyan? Aren't angry with him ?", he asked, how did his wife's anger melt away so soon ? If it were him or his brother-in- law(Ranveer) she would have definitely stayed mad for at least a week while his brother gets the leverage to do anything he pleases and get away with it. He sympathized with himself and Ranveer for the absolute partiality Isha showed but soon a kind of bitterness filled his brain for having sympathy for his idiotic brother-in-law.
"Well, I'm a bit upset, but I can't stop talking with him for it", she said and he opened his mouth wide, thankfully it was just a phone call and not a video call otherwise she would have taunted him for that as well but he couldn't help his expression. What did she mean by 'she can't stop talking with him(Avyan) for it', that is what she always did with him(Abhyansh)... "and moreover we have lots of work to complete for the Roka, your job is done by just passing orders but we have to work hard to ensure in-time completion otherwise you will have our head", she taunted him...
"Looks like Rani sa has a lot of complaints against me hm ?", he said, his tone turning husky, shivers passed through her spine...
"N.No...", her lips quivered at his intensity... she took a deep breath before warning him... "Don't do this to me Rana sa, especially not when you are so far away", she complained again and he chuckled, he loved when his wife expressed her desire and longing for him.
"hm... I'll end all this soon and come to you...", he said and she hummed...
"Okay... go home, freshen up, and call me after you are done with your prayers, I'll guide you", she said and he groaned... His wife will now guide him to prepare breakfast, he had to dismiss his staff again as he can't afford to let them see that and she understood his problem...
"No need to disperse your staff... Don't be so egoistic, let them see you cooking, what's the issue ?", she spoke... She knew it wasn't ego but she sometimes liked to push his buttons, not always did she like playing the Good Wife.
"They feel I'm a beast and I can't have emotions, I would like to keep it that way", he said his tone turning cold... She knew it, but she also knew they would feel so no matter what but she didn't say it, her husband is rigid in some things and she accepted him that way, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't try changing that but she wouldn't force him either.
"Hm... call me after you freshen up", she said and hung up... He sighed closing his eyes to get a few seconds of peace but it evaporated as soon as he realized the man who dared to piss him in recent times, the man who was behind the destruction he caused to his wife, The man, Neil Singhania was still out there, free as a bird living his life to the fullest and even that thought made him bubble in fury.
'Do not think about it now, just don't...' Abhyansh told himself in his head several times, as he knew he would be unable to control his fury if he remembered those bizarre yet infuriating encounters he started having right after his marriage. He needed to communicate with his wife in a while and if he was furious, she would know it in a wink. It's almost impossible for the world to decode his emotions but not for his wife. She was an expert in that.
He reached his mansion, freshened up, and after his prayers, he called his wife and she guided him, she gave him company while he had his food chatting with her.
After that, she guided him through the afternoon meal preparation, and only after that did she go to sleep while various thoughts evaded him, but he soon surpassed them and got back to his work in Europe, hunting his enemies and destroying them.
He called Bhairav and ordered him about what needed to be done for the next few days, Bhairav so wanted to ask Abhyansh about his meeting some hours ago but he didn't, he couldn't understand why Abhyansh went without taking him along but he dared not ask him.
Both of them discussed the course of action and Bhairav dispersed to get it done while Abhyansh opened his Mac to get some work done, it started with an office call with his brother presenting his ideas for the new development project they had taken over. He started diverting more work to Avyan, he knew it would stress him beyond his bandwidth but that was his intention, for his brother to take over things expanding his capabilities, sometimes life didn't give a choice, his brother too did not have a choice other than managing and developing the vast empire he had created.
"Re-do it", he said and exited the office call leaving his brother in shock. He would never accept anything less than perfect and that wouldn't change for his brother or anyone else for that matter. 'Your Rani sa is an exception' his head screamed which he royally ignored and focussed on the work at hand.
After an hour or so, he received a text from his wife to have lunch and he did.
Abhyansh was fully occupied with hunting his enemies for the next few days and he almost succeeded in retaining control over Europe, this didn't go well with his foes at all, having control of the whole continent and losing it in just a few days had infuriated them and exactly at that point, Abhyansh's biggest and oldest rival joined them planning Abhyansh Singh Ranawat's destruction for once and all but only while execution did they realize how foolish they were in even thinking they could defeat the BEAST. Defeating a BEAST was impossible but killing wouldn't be that tough, they concluded.
Abhyansh felt something strange, he started micromanaging the security at Ranawat palace from Europe, in fact, these days, it took a majority of his time, he even discussed it with Ranveer and Avyan who assured him that things were going the same way but Abhyansh couldn't get the peace he would if everything was going fine. He talked to Isha about it and warned her to keep her ears and eyes open all the time, he asked her to let him know even if she noticed a minute behavioral change in the staff or any suspicious activity by them. She found his instructions surprising as he trusted all his staff a lot and never ever had he asked her to do something like that. She asked him and he told her honestly that it was just his intuition but it was too strong to ignore and Isha trusted him and signed up for what her husband asked her to.
Abhyansh asked Bhairav to run a scan through the security arrangements once again and Bhairav fought the urge to take a deep sigh, honestly he was tired, as this was what he was doing in the past few days. Abhyansh wanted to go back but things were too complicated now to leave the place and his heart didn't allow him to leave Europe at this crucial time just on his intuition no matter how strong it was. He ought to honor his men's sacrifices who helped him retain control over Europe, now just very little to do was left for the whole control to be back in his hands again.
"Yes Maharaj", Bhairav responded and was about to leave when Abhyansh's words stopped him in his tracks.
"Bhairav, Go back and safeguard Ranawat palace", Abhyansh said and Bhairav's eyes widened... No, he wasn't leaving Abhaynsh again, he did it once and there were grave consequences...
"No Maharaj... I'll be with you", Bhairav outright rejected the idea, Abhyansh's eyes showed his disbelief at Bhairav's words but no anger in them as he knew why Bhairav was so reluctant at the idea.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Bhairav... Go to the palace, immediately...", Abhyansh ordered
There were around 30 people around them and Bhairav and Abhyansh tackled them together, they killed most of them and the rest were injured badly, they couldn't get up but they knew more people were on their way to end Abhyansh and Bhairav just couldn't go leaving him.
"I said Go Bhairav, Take Avyan with you... I want my brother safe... I'll be back with Advaita", Abhyansh ordered sternly, the kind of order that Bhairav couldn't refuse anymore so he followed the king's words and left from there with Avyan.
Abhyansh tried establishing a connection with his family but couldn't, they were not reachable and he felt as if his foes might have attacked the family palace, he cursed himself for sending Bhuvan abroad to tackle an issue. If he had been there, he would have handled the situation at the main palace, thought Abhyansh.
"Advaita... Where are you ?", Abhyansh whispered to himself searching for his sister... He was hell worried for his little sister, she is just a child and all his foes are no less than animals and he was sh*t scared of what they would do to his sister...
He kept searching for her, all his trusted men were searching for her but they weren't enough, he didn't have many trusted men, in fact, he didn't have many resources, he sure got back his family's assets, and fought back the vile men, but he still didn't make himself unmatched and impossible for anyone to touch. He was powerful but not the kind of power he desired to keep his family safe.
"Advaita...", he shouted for her again wandering amid the plush green forests, he heard a movement afar from him, and he walked to the side with his palm on his sword, his pistol was as good as a useless metal piece as he emptied the bullets on the scoundrels previously.
"Bhai sa...", he heard his sister's shrilling scream that turned his blood cold...
"Advaita...", he ran in that direction, he saw his little sister was held by 2 men who looked so horrendous, their faces filled with big scars, their hair flowing till neck. He knew his sister would be so scared now... He wanted to rip them away from her right away but if he had to be careful, one wrong step, he would fail in saving her, God! Even that thought burned him, he had to save his little sister, he couldn't let her die or suffer, no he couldn't let anything happen to his princess.
"Bhai sa...", she cried... she was so scared of these men...
"Scream louder... We want to end you and your bhai sa as well... but before that, let us have some fun", one man said running his fingers over her body...
"She is a little kid", the other man said, he wasn't okay with what his friend was doing but did the man care ? No...
Abhyansh's blood boiled... When the man's hand ripped his sister's frock, he couldn't stop himself anymore...
"You bas**rd...", Abhyansh lunged at them but before he could reach them, a couple of lorries passed at high speed, he couldn't reach them since the road was separating him from them. And when he started running towards them, someone shot him in his back just below his right shoulder...
" Amar Sir is here...", he heard one of the men say...
Abhyansh still tried to run towards his sister, but several men attacked him, he kept fighting with them, resisting their hits, injuring them, but he was stabbed multiple times in the fight, was hit brutally on his wounds. He was at the verge of falling unconscious but he fought it. He was bleeding badly from every part, the pain was killing him but the desire to save his sister made him fight. Even at that stage, he was heavy on the enemy side, he hurt many of them badly, and he had to save his sister, that was the only thing running through his head, he prayed to let his sister be safe, he could die after sending her somewhere safe... This was running in his head throughout.
He got up with difficulty again, and this time he was hit on his head and blood dripped over his face from his head covering his eyes and he slowly dropped to the floor. A man wearing a green kurta threw the rod away and walked to the other side of the road where one man out of the two was assaulting his little sister while the other tried to stop as he wasn't in favor of sexually assaulting a little girl. Royalty screamed from the man wearing Green kurta, Abhyansh recognized his clothes from behind but he wanted to be sure... The green kurta he wore so many times when he visited his place, saying his wife stitched it for him and Abhyansh remembered him saying that he wouldn't even let his daughter or son touch this kurta as it's so dear to him.
"how long will you take ?", the man asked, Amar Rajput, the voice was so alike Amar Rajput but Abhyansh couldn't believe it, he always had his doubts about why that man supported his father even after the Ranawats lost all their properties, he didn't believe that man could be so kind but now he couldn't believe he could be this vile too.
"Maharaj... I could go on for days if you allow me", that bas**rd said touching his little sister while she cried... Abhyansh tried to get up many times but he couldn't, it was very difficult for him to even be conscious... He prayed to god to take him away, to kill him but let his sister be safe.
"Shut up... You have 5 minutes, do whatever you want to, after that, we will create it as an accident, like as we planned", he said
"Hukum... How could you ? Even you have a daughter of her age... Please stop him... we'll just kill her", the other man pleaded but the man dismissed his pleas "My daughter is a princess and she would be treated as one, don't compare this dirt to her", Amar Rajput said pointing towards Advaita who was crying bitterly not understanding anything why these men are behind her and why that scary looking man is bad touching her... Of course, she knew what is good touch and what is bad touch, his 'bhai sa' taught her and she was a very smart girl to retain all of it. Where is her Bhai sa ? She wondered. The only words that are leaving her mouth are 'Bhai sa save me, Bhai sa Save me'.
After the man who was called 'Maharaj' and who he doubted to be Amar Rajput, walked away, The other man tried to r*pe his sister while Abhyansh helplessly watched, difficult to even keep his eyes open, but luckily the other man pushed the man who was about to r*pe Advaita and they fought between themselves, before anyone overpowered the other, they heard the car horn and they hid behind and threw Advaita in front of the car...
The same man wearing the green kurta got out and rushed towards his sister, now his face was clearly visible... AMAR RAJPUT
Abhyansh closed his eyes losing consciousness... A small tear escaped his eyes at his helplessness. His sister's painful cries and fearful screams rang in his head even after he fell unconscious, Amar Rajput's face with that green kurta was pasted in his brain... He would make him cry in regret, in pain, and make him suffer in the worst possible way, he vowed himself.
He hated the fact that he did this to his sister despite being a father to a little girl of a similar age boiled his blood. And oh the venomous words he spoke... He would make him pay...
Bhairav reached the spot and found Advaita dead with lots and lots of blood and when he looked here and there, he found Abhyansh in a worse state. Bhairav shook Abhyansh and he finally got conscious...
"Advaita...", he whispered heavily...
"She is dead Hukum", Bhairav said with remorse... Abhyansh's eyes drifted to his sister's lifeless body before he closed his eyes... Darkness consuming him.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Abhyansh's eyes reddened, his heart beating wildly with fury, his sister's helpless cries, her pleas, her 'Bhai sa... Save me', everything rang in his head. He wanted to kill that ba***rd Amar Rajput with his bare hands but couldn't. He died in an accident before he could get his hands on him.
"Bhairav... Go, but assign someone to search for Neil Singhania... Tell them they have only a week, Time is up for that fu**er now", Abhyansh ordered, his voice stone-like making Bhairav widen his eyes... They had been searching for him for almost a year but couldn't get him.
This was why he wouldn't reminisce about the past, especially this part, as he would get mad as hell and he develops a mad urge to destroy everything. He knew a week was too much less time but he wouldn't give them more.
"Maharaj... a week is...", Bhairav started but was interrupted by Abhyansh.
"Tell them a week is all they have to finish their mission, if they don't, I'll finish them on the 8th day", Abhyansh said in a dismissed tone, Bhairav bowed and left from there. He knew now wasn't the time to talk to Abhyansh as he might be extremely disturbed.
'Neil Singhania' was Amar Rajput's closest friend and ally, after Chirag Rathor of course, all the a**h*les in the world are his friends. He believed Neil was the man who kept him away from reaching Amar Rajput after his sister's demise and his recovery from the fatal injuries but there was never concrete evidence of his involvement. But, Abhyansh didn't go after him as he knew he had no hand in that conspiracy. But, after he married Isha, that man contacted him, he threatened to kill him for marrying Isha. He didn't take him seriously.
Then he called him again, and gloated about how Amar Rajput planned and executed Advaita's murder.
"Amar was a genius, he planned your siblings' killing perfectly but you saved your brother, but your sister huh, he at least got successful in eliminating one of them, Your sister Advaita... And Don't think you won by marrying Isha, I know you married her to torture her, but I would soon get her out of hell, she is a princess and she deserved to live that way, not with a monster like you", these were exactly the words he spoke.
That was the day when his wife got late from office, it was her first day of office and he was so furious and that bas***d's words acted as a catalyst that inflamed his fury, his words about Isha being the princess, and Amar Rajput's cruel words of how his daughter was a princess and his sister was a piece of dirt rang in his head taking away the little rationality he had and brought the beast out of him.
It was Neil Singhania who called him on the day he burned her wrist. He always knew which buttons to push to get him hurt Isha. He knew Neil Singhania might still want to rescue Isha but that wasn't out of concern for her, instead, it was to show the BEAST that he had the upper hand which he wouldn't allow. That man was clever as a fox, he gave up all his wealth and businesses to save himself from Abhyansh. He made himself untraceable and that's what was taking his men time to find him but now it was too much time. Abhyansh decided not to just rely on his men, but also reach out to his other resources.
He doubted Neil's intentions towards Isha as well. For once, Abhaynsh thought what if he wanted him(Abhyansh) to hurt Isha more and that's why he was calling him to fuel his fury? The more he thought in that way, the more concrete his belief got but he didn't find why ? Why would he want his best friend's daughter to be tortured? Worse, he risked his life to call him, he could be tracked by that phone call yet he took that risk, and only that a** could give him those answers.
------------------------------
"BEAST is moving Bhairav back to India to guard the palace", a man smoking a cigar said
"Good... Ask your men to be ready, they need to report every single move of the BEAST to us... If I'm not wrong, he will now find you no matter what and that would be his end", another man said
"Okay, my men will inform me when Bhairav's plane takes off, and he will take 7 hours to reach Jaipur, and this was the only time we would get to kill the Ranawat family and abduct Isha, Will we able to pull this off ?", the first man asked, now throwing the cigar.
"Neil Singhania... Never doubt my plans... Not even a trace of the Ranawat blood would be alive, I'll make sure you have your best friend's daughter with you... I promise", the second man promised the first man who was none other than Neil Singhania, Amar Rajput's best friend or was he really ?
"Best friend ? Yeah sure", Neil scoffed, both the men laughed, before moving on with their discussion...
-----------------------
Isha was sitting on their bed thinking about her husband's strange behavior lately. He talked to her every day but just maybe once or twice. She could feel he was worried about many things but couldn't figure anything out. The next day afternoon, she got everything ready for the lunch and taking rest for 5 minutes in the hall sofa.
"Rani sa... around 50 men entered the front palace and they killed all our security personnel... They are on our way to the main palace", the head security personnel told her, his face filled with dread as if he witnessed something horrendous, and yes he actually did watch those bulky men kill Ranawat security and loyal men guarding the palace cruelly.
Isha's eyes widened with dread. No... No this wasn't happening... She thanked god that her brother and Avyan weren't at the palace, she tried calling them to ask them to stay where they were but she couldn't reach them. She tried calling her husband but she couldn't reach him either.
"I think they jammed the network Rani sa...", the security head informed. Isha decided to try through the landline but the lines were cut off, there was no way for her to reach her husband and she realized she didn't have much time.
She remembered what her husband told her to do at the time of danger. She decided to take the family to the back palace but she couldn't let anyone know as she didn't know who was loyal to them and who was the mole. She knew her husband's intuition was right, their security was compromised and there was more than one mole in them.
"I'll take the family to the side palace and hide there, manage them, if you feel you couldn't, then just save yourself, don't sacrifice your life for us, we'll be safe, I'll make sure of it", Isha ordered... "Ask someone to take women and children out of the palace from the left side garden", she added before running to her mother-in-law's chamber and from the inside of that chamber through the secret passage she reached Devyani's chamber taking Amruta and Pratap with her.
She informed Devyani of what happened shocking the elder woman but she stayed calm as she knew panicking would worsen their situation.
"I'll guide you, follow me", Isha said, Devyani understood Isha was talking about the back palace.
"But where is Avyan", Amruta asked shocking Isha
"Avyan is home ?", Isha asked, Avyan said he had an important meeting and he would get late then why was he home early ? Isha wondered
"Yes, his meeting got canceled", Amruta told...
"No... No... No...", Isha muttered, it would be very risky to go to Avyan's chamber taking all of them, and then go to the back palace from there... it would eat away a lot of time risking all of their lives.
"Relax and think through... would you be able to guide me the way through ?", Devyani suggested
"I can guide you the way to the back palace, but if you miss even a single turn or take it wrongly, you will reach a vulnerable place and it will get dangerous for you", Isha said repeating the words her husband told when he explained about the secret passages he got made in the palace to reach the back palace.
"Don't worry about it, just tell me the way", Devyani Devi said confidently and Isha guided her with the way, everything went above the head for Amruta but Devyani got it clearly. "I got it, I'll reach the entrance along with Amruta, We can't take Pratap with us as it would delay us, would you be able to manage him ?", Devyani asked
"I was about to say that, I'll take care of him, you both go", Isha said
"Ma sa... how could you talk about leaving your son behind ?", Amruta asked Devyani with a shocked face
"Don't be stupid Amruta, Our mission now is to save maximum lives, and I can't let all of us die trying to save one, moreover I trust Isha, she would bring Pratap safely to the back palace", she said emotionless... For a mother, it was the most difficult thing to say but she did because she knew she couldn't take Pratap with them. Taking him with them would delay them since he couldn't walk by himself, and the narrow passages from her chamber cannot manage his wheelchair, Also, Isha only told her one way, so Devyani and Amruta couldn't risk taking Pratap with them but Isha knew all the ways so she could manage Pratap better than them, this was the time to think strategically, Devyani couldn't take Pratap with her when she knew it would get them killed for sure.
"Ma sa is right, go with her Amruta, I will accompany Isha", Pratap said surprising Isha, her father-in-law's understanding tone shocked her but she postponed her reaction for later, saving themselves was their foremost priority.
Devyani and Amruta walked away while Isha pushed her father-in-law's wheelchair to Avyan's chamber, she could hear loud noises and shootouts downstairs, she knew she didn't have much time. Avyan's eyes widened, he was sleeping when he heard the noises, he was about to open his door to check when Isha pulled his hand.
"Bhabhi ma, how did you enter inside ?", Avyan asked perplexed, How did she enter inside and what the hell was happening outside ? he was worried...
"No time to explain, there was an attack, I sent Dadi sa and Ma to the back palace safely, we three are left, we need to run", she said and Avyan took his father's crutches from Isha's hands, and pushed the wheelchair.
Three of the men heard noises from Avyan's chamber and broke the door instantly, they saw them leaving and announced it to their fellows. Avyan threw the sharp knives he collected from his chamber at them.
She deliberately diverted their security that they would be leaving to the side palace to avoid them from following her if there were moles in them but now that was what was happening. She didn't know how to escape them and reach the back palace. She silently sent a prayer to let them reach the back palace safely. She knew it would be impossible to break through the back palace's doors without the lock or the people inside allowing it so they would be safe once they reached there. Her genius husband designed it that way. Avyan injured the three men and for now, no one was following them but she knew it was only a matter of time before the other men came for them as now they discovered the entrance of the secret passage, they would follow it.
It was getting tough to run with Pratap since the passages were narrow, they had to leave the wheelchair behind and Avyan tried to carry his father but that wasn't an efficient way either. Isha heard the noises and she shivered.
"Avyan... I'll tell you the route, Open your phone and record my directions so that you won't be confused", Isha said, he didn't understand why but he didn't dare to question at this time, she hated not getting this idea while she was narrating the route to Devyani, her head didn't work at that time... she just hoped they reached fine without any confusion.
Isha told him and Avyan recorded the directions.
"Now run, I'll come with Sasur sa", Isha said shocking Avyan.
"Bhabhi ma... no, I can't leave you", Avyan protested
"Just go Avi... I promise I'll be safe... You need to go fast only then can we be safe... Reach the back palace, I already told you the code, go inside and ask Sharah and Veera's caretaker to inform them that Rani sa is in trouble... send them out", she said
She could have asked Avyan to come with Pratap and she would go there first and bring Sharah and Veera but Avyan only knew one route, the route she told him now, what if they were blocked by men in that passage? He would take some wrong turns to save themself and reach the most vulnerable places and she didn't want that, whereas she knew all the passages so she could always take the right route no matter the turns she took.
Avyan nodded, kissed his sister-in-law's forehead with a tear slipping from his eye, and ran off. Isha and Pratap speed-walked too but soon there were men behind them.
"Leave me and save your life, Isha, Don't be stupid", Pratap scolded his daughter-in-law. He would never want their enemies to get a hand on their family's women. He didn't mind dying but couldn't let his daughter-in-law fall prey to the enemy's vile intentions.
"No, I can't leave you, and I wouldn't, I will save you", Isha said, the men got closer, Isha took the swords, knives, and anything that was accessible to her on her way and threw at them while moving through the narrow passages. She took turns that confused them but they managed to keep track of their movements.
They finally reached the straight and long passage that led to the back palace. Unfortunately, the men were able to follow them despite her taking the most confusing routes, she ran, trying to help her father-in-law to increase his speed, holding his crutches but it became difficult, and at one point he fell on the floor losing balance.
"Isha, run...", Pratap said as he couldn't get up...
"No...", Isha said, tears made their way seeing her father-in-law's state... No matter how bad he was, she couldn't leave her husband's father to die... She wouldn't do that...
"Kill that old ba***rd and get the queen, We need to leave soon with her", someone said from behind, Fear filled Isha's eyes... She could hear the voices getting closer and closer, they couldn't see Isha and Pratap yet but they would soon find them... But she understood by their words that they wouldn't kill her and for some odd reason, it scared her even more but she masked it.
"I can't let them get to you... Go, save yourself... Go", Pratap shouted
"Shut up... Let me think something", Isha said all the time trying to help him get up but his legs were badly twisted...
Isha dragged her father-in-law to a secluded corner hiding him safely.
"don't make a noise... please, I'll be back, I promise, I'll save you", Isha said
Pratap thought she was just saying those words to convince him but she meant them... She threw his clutches in the opposite direction to confuse them and she ran to the back palace door at the very same time, the door opened, Avyan running towards her, apparently, the caretaker failed to convey properly and Sharah and Veera thought Avyan had hurt Isha.
"Sharah... Veera... Stop", Isha said but they were nowhere near to stopping, Isha took a knife hanging beside on the wall and cut Avyan's palm, she remembered Abhyansh telling her that Sharah and Veera could never harm his blood and she just hoped that was true and thankfully they stopped after they smelled Avyan's blood. Their acute sense of smelling paused their steps and saved Avyan.
"Avyan, Go Inside and lock the door from inside, I'll come with Sasur sa soon", Isha ordered but Avyan couldn't go... "I said go", Isha shouted and Avyan nodded... "Protect Ma and Dadi sa Avyan", Isha said
"they are safe, don't worry, you be safe", Avyan said and Isha nodded.
Isha took Sharah and Veera to where she hid Pratap...
"Sh*t", she muttered, It was filled with men, they were rigorously searching for Pratap, and it was just a matter of time before they would find him and instantly kill him...
She ran in her father-in-law's direction and soon their eyes fell on her, they spotted her and ran to capture her but she disappeared into an alley and reached Pratap and tried to run with him but soon they found them... She decided not to call Sharah and Veera unless it was critical as she noticed the men had guns and probably they could shoot at Sharah and Veera, in no way she would want her babies hurt.
She tried to escape them but one man held her hair in her fist tightly pulling her away from Pratap...
" Sharah... Veera... " she screamed and a loud growl followed by another, and soon the wild animals jumped on the men and injured them... Sharah bit the arm of the man who held Isha's hair seeking vengeance from him for hurting their Rani sa.
She saw three men aiming at Sharah and Veera but couldn't get them as they were rapidly moving...
Isha tried to throw knives at them hiding behind a pillar, she succeeded twice but more men aimed at Sharah and Veera... She got worried but then, Pratap extended his palm, Isha understood and gave him the knives, he threw them and every time it hit the target...
"You are very good at aiming", Isha praised
"I am... Why are you surprised ? you thought I'm completely useless like your husband projected me ?", Pratap asked his daughter-in-law, Isha rolled her eyes, her father-in-law didn't stop taunting her husband even now...
A man got hold of Pratap and Isha called for Sharah and Veera, While Sharah was busy killing some men, Veera came to his Rani sa's rescue...
They injured all the men present there, but she saw more men run towards them... Isha shook her head... 'They were definitely much more than 50 men', she thought...
Everyone has a gun in their hand and she couldn't risk Sharah and Veera's life, it was pure luck that they were unscathed till now but soon the vile men would succeed in putting a bullet or two in her pets which she wanted to prevent.
But she couldn't even run since Pratap couldn't run due to his legs... She got an idea but it would be risky...
She first took a knife and injured Pratap...
"Ah! are you crazy ?", Pratap shouted...
Sharah growled and came nearer to Pratap but the smell of his blood made her take a step back, he glared at Pratap still for shouting at their Rani sa... and Isha smiled seeing her plan working.
"Sharah would carry you to the palace door with her mouth", Isha said shocking Pratap...
"Are you out of your mind, it's better to get killed by a bullet than this wild animal", Pratap said
"It won't eat you, trust me, it won't harm you... It would just carry you", Isha said but Pratap wasn't convinced...
"Fine... Veera and I will help you get on Sharah's back, could you hold it properly ?", Isha asked and Pratap nodded with fear in his eyes... he knew he didn't have a choice.
Isha gave specific orders to Veera and then she tried to lift Pratap and Veera instantly helped her, Sharah too helped by bending... Veera's paws hurt Pratap but he could do nothing now... Thanks to his son, they all were vaccinated.
"Hold tightly Sasur sa", Isha said and Pratap nodded... "Sharah... slowly... okay ?", Isha instructed, acting with her hands to make Sharah understand her words... Sharah acknowledged his Rani sa with a low growl and ran towards the entrance of the back palace.
Isha and Veera followed... The men soon found them and on spotting Isha they tried to get hold of her, but thanks to Veera they were unsuccessful but they did manage to hurt her, her hands got hurt by their knives which got the BEAST Veera into action... He injured the men despite Isha's protests... After the fight, Isha and Veera entered the back palace and Isha instantly closed the door and locked it from inside...
She ran inside and checked for Amruta, Devyani, and Avyan... They all were pacing worried for her while Pratap was sitting leaning against a pillar, there was no worry, not because he didn't care for Isha, he did, after what she did, he had to... After seeing her courage and her presence of mind, he was sure she would be safe, she would survive this...
On seeing all of them safe, Isha leaned her head to the pillar and sat down, and then tears of agony flew from her eyes... She was terrified by theupheaval that took place... She could have lost all of them... Oh God! She had to contact her brother... She had to... What if he comes to the palace and these men get hold of him ? She knew he was in Jaipur with Ragini yet she was extremely worried... Like Avyan was home while she thought he was in office, what if her brother too came there?
She called her brother through her mobile, she knew no one could put jammers in the back palace since they did not even have an idea of its location or access. Thankfully, Ranveer picked up the call and he was in Jaipur. Isha updated him about the whole ordeal and asked him to stay where he was. She told him that they all were safe and she was trying to contact Abhyansh.
Ranveer suggested they all switch off their phones as they could be tracked. If those men were able to break the tight security arranged by Abhyansh, they were capable of much more and Ranveer didn't want them to track them in any way. So, Isha obliged. Ranveer said he would meet them when everything would be cleared, he also assured her that he would get in touch with Abhyansh and let him know that his family was safe.
After he hung up, Ranveer took deep breaths and his eyes reddened with anger and concern...
"What's wrong Veer ?", Ragini asked placing her palm on his...
"There was an attack on Ranawat's palace, there were approximately 100 men, but thankfully Isha and the other family members are safe", Ranveer said rubbing his temples...
"Oh my God! Let's call Maharaj immediately", Ragini said and Ranveer nodded... The distress could be clearly seen on his face... God! he hated himself for not being there with his sister. He shouldn't have listened to her and come on a date to Jaipur with Ragini.
"I need to call Ranawat, I'll be back, by then, call R Hotel and book two rooms for us", Ranveer said and walked away. He couldn't go to Ranawat palace nor Rajput palace as the men might search for him there. Abhyansh's hotel was the next nearest destination for him to stay near to his sister yet far from their reach.
He called Nandini and informed them of the situation. They left the Rajput palace immediately to a safe place. Ranveer tried reaching out to Abhyansh but he wasn't picking up his phone. He tried Bhairav but his phone was switched off. He called the next in line for the security but none picked up their phones.
Ranveer sensed something terribly wrong and he started his background investigation immediately. He just prayed for his brother-in-law's safety. If something happened to him, the whole family would be destroyed, especially his sister would be devastated. God! He can't even imagine his BEAST of a brother-in-law in any danger.
He mentally chided himself for even thinking so. BEAST was known for being a danger to others, there was absolutely zero probability of him being in danger, Ranveer convinced himself.
He activated all his spies and they gave him a secured route to reach Ajmer R hotel. Ranveer and Ragini reached the hotel soon and he informed the higher authorities, soon Government security and army personnel cleared the space and took the leftover men into custody. It took them two days to certify the place safe and only after that, Ranveer was allowed to Ranawat palace to meet his sister.
He and Ragini walked to the back palace but he asked Ragini to stay in the alley and not come inside but Ragini was stubborn, so he let her in. He knew she would be terrified to see the beasts his brother-in-law petted all these years. No, they were not beasts, they were his brother-in-law's brothers.
"Don't get scared or shout if you see a lion or tiger inside", Ranveer said, Ragini rolled her eyes thinking he was joking like always.
"Ishu... bacha... Bhayyu is here", Ranveer made a sound and soon he heard his sister's anklets sound, and he saw her running towards him embracing him in a tight hug...
"Bhai... Thank god, you are fine, I was so scared for you", Isha said sobbing...
"Thank god you are fine bacha, I'm so sorry I wasn't there with you", Ranveer said wiping her tears, but then he heard the growling sound that startled Ragini. Soon she was screaming in fear seeing Sharah and Veera.
"Sh... Ragini don't be scared, it's okay... They won't do anything...", Isha said softly before turning to her brother... "You didn't tell her ?", She asked Ranveer.
"I did... It's her who didn't take me seriously", Ranveer said earning a glare from Ragini and Isha.
Ranveer met others as well and all of them moved to sit in the hall.
"Sharah... Veera... Go in", Isha said and they followed her orders surprising Ragini. Her soft friend was capable of handling a lion and a tiger ? God! All this was like a dream... And then she was looking at the magnificent hall of the back palace. This was much grander than the main palace the Ranawats resided in. The decor illustrated the rich history of the Ranawats.
"Ishu... What the hell is this ? How did you get it? You said you are fine", Ranveer got hyper seeing the wounds and scratches on his sister's arms which are now poorly bandaged.
"Bhai relax... We all are fine...", Isha said, and that's when Ranveer saw the bandages on Avyan's and Pratap's palms as well.
"This was your sister's doing", Pratap said showing his palm, Isha glared at him while he rolled his eyes... His relationship with his daughter-in-law took a U-turn in just a day, they started bickering but the playful glint wasn't missed, so Ranveer didn't mind, he was just pleasantly surprised.
"I had to do it bhai... Rana sa mentioned Sharah and Veera could never harm his blood, they both were about to attack Avyan and Sasur sa... So I did this", Isha justified and Ranveer nodded not that he minded his sister injuring them without a reason. His sister could do anything yet he would be standing by her side defending her.
Right from the minute, her brother entered in, she wanted to ask about her husband, her Rana sa, to know if he was fine or not, but she didn't want to trigger her mother-in-law's panic attacks again. Amruta was so worried for Abhyansh that she kept having panic attacks, Isha's condition was worse but she needed to be strong, at least until her husband wasn't here to manage everything.
She expected him to come back 2 days prior, she knew he would have come to her immediately if he was given the information about the attack but when he didn't come, she sensed something wrong with the whole ordeal which was what she wanted to discuss with her brother.
"Bhai... I need to talk to you about something, come with me", Isha said, Ranveer knew what it would be, so he just nodded, Avyan too got up to join them but Isha froze seeing Bhairav there... His eyes showed how much distress he was in... Seeing him inside the back palace shocked her. As far as she knew, Bhairav never stepped inside the back palace, reasons unknown to her, but she guessed, maybe because his brother was killed in there which was true.
"Bhairav... Is Rana sa here ?", Isha asked rushing to him... Bhairav shook his head and that broke something in her, fear enveloped her entire being but she maintained a cold facade, 'Be strong', 'Be strong' she chanted.
"Let's discuss this inside, come", Isha said and Bhairav bowed. Isha walked ahead while the three men followed her.
Rajmata wanted to join but she couldn't leave Amruta alone, she was already panicking, and handling her was more important now.
"Bhai... Tell me you informed Rana sa about it but he couldn't make it due to some urgent issues he needed to attend to", Isha asked, her tone quivered... Ranveer pulled her in his arms trying to calm her... She knew her husband would come right away leaving anything and everything once he heard about the attack on his family. Especially for her. He couldn't stand even the thought of her life in danger, he would have definitely come for her unless... No... She wouldn't think anything negative.
"I couldn't reach Ranawat...", Ranveer said shattering his sister's hope.
"Bhairav, why did you come here leaving Rana sa alone ?", Isha shouted...
"Maharaj asked me to immediately travel to Ajmer, Rani sa... As soon as I landed here, I got to know about the attack on Ranawat palace, I reached here but before I could come inside, Yuvraj Ranveer pulled me with him... That's when I understood those men were still inside but you all are safe... Forgive me Rani sa, it took 2 days to get everything cleared but We couldn't reach Maharaj, that was why it took so long", Bhairav explained, he tried hard to keep his tone unwavering as even a slight quiver in his tone and the queen would lose her confidence. He knew she loved Abhyansh too much and at this point of time, it was necessary for her to stay strong.
Abhyansh would have gotten all this sorted within hours but due to his absence, it took them 2 days.
"Why can't you reach to Rana sa ? Have you tried reaching other security personnel there ?", Isha asked
"I have Rani sa, but I am unable to establish contact with any of them", Bhairav answered honestly... It's true he couldn't connect with any of them. He also contacted John who informed him that the last time Abhyansh contacted him was 2 days prior. And that's what was scaring Bhairav, his king had never stayed away from work for straight 2 days,if he wasn't able to be active the whole day, he at least managed to take updates on work every few hours but his complete disappearance was scaring them.
Bhairav already activated their network, which included their loyal men. Bhairav now realized how wrong they were that they focussed solely on the security arrangement in Ajmer and neglected the men around Abhyansh. Bhairav thought that he would be there around with Abhyansh but he was suddenly ordered to reach India. It was as if their enemies planned to end everything in those 7 hours. Bhairav decided to discuss this with Ranveer and Avyan after Isha left since he wouldn't want to stress her but what Isha did next shocked him.
"Bhairav... Tell me everything that has happened in the past few days", Isha demanded, confidence oozing from her... Everyone expected her to weaken hearing about her husband's unknown state but she surprised all of them. Her heart was breaking from within but she couldn't let those emotions weaken her, now was the time to stay strong, act vigilant and she would do anything to bring back her husband safely.
Her husband's distant vision and ingenuity saved them from such a disaster two days ago. He was well-prepared in advance for the worst of the worst situations, it took him a lot of effort to teach her all the hidden routes & passages to the back palace from every single chamber and also the interconnections there. And she knew it might have taken similar efforts for him to train Sharah and Veera to obey her. She then understood all her husband's words and why he insisted her on getting accustomed to Sharah and Veera and now it was her turn to bring him back. She was confident that he was safe because no one had the strength or brains to outsmart him. He sure might be lost for a moment, because miscalculations and mistakes can be committed by anyone but she knew he would get through it, he was extremely capable and she just had to help him a bit.
Bhairav started narrating everything that took place over a few days and Ranveer, Isha, and Avyan carefully listened to it.
"So, This is what I feel might have happened... Rana sa was completely focussed on the security arrangements here, and he also made you take care of things here and when your focus was here, someone might have tampered with the things there...", Isha deduced and Bhairav nodded... "But, Rana sa is not someone to take his security lightly... I'm sure his disappearance was by his own will but his calculations might have gone wrong in the middle", Isha told shocking Bhairav... Yes, she was absolutely right, he knew that since he had seen Abhyansh's pattern for decades but for Isha to come to this conclusion had surprised him and strengthened his belief that his king was right in giving power to her. She was capable, there was no debate about it now.
"So, you mean to say, while they all were focussed on the security here, things have gone south in Europe, but if that's the case then at least their strict security should have been successful in protecting you and the family here?", Ranveer asked
"bhai... they tried their best but with about 100s of men with all kinds of weapons, it was impossible for anyone to protect us", Isha said and Bhairav nodded
"It's clear that they planned to end the whole Ranawat clan in a go, End us here and bhai sa in Europe. So, there is only one possibility, they might have sent their complete force here to end our family... and this could only happen if they were confident that they could lure bhai sa in their trap without much strength or support", Avyan said, Bhairav nodded, while Isha's brain started revolving around Avyan's statement. She didn't think that way till now but now Avyan had said it, she too felt the same. What could probably lure her husband into their trap without much force, because if Avyan's deductions were true and they planned to end all of them together, then more army was needed to chain her husband than their whole family because Abhyansh Singh Ranawat wasn't called a beast just like that, he was one in all forms and until and unless they have something that Abhyansh badly needed and he himself comes to them, it was very difficult for them to capture him.
And Isha was exactly right in thinking so. Neil Singhania was what Abhaynsh needed the most now. The kind of words he used for his sister's death, now Abhyansh was sure that he had taken part in the crime against Advaita, and the worst part was his recent conversation with him. He also knew how and when he killed Ilir. Abhyansh thought he had ended everyone with that knowledge but then Neil came into the picture bursting all his beliefs. Abhyansh was a man who always liked to stay in control and for the first time in years, he felt it slipping just because of Neil and he hated it, he wanted to regain it as soon as possible. So Abhyansh informed Khan and left to hunt his enemies with his men, but what he didn't expect was his men backstabbing him.
Thankfully, he didn't trust many people except for a few and thus he always stayed prepared for the worst, especially when Bhairav wasn't with him, his past had taught him a lot and he managed to learn from it. He understood that his enemies were plotting his end the moment Neil called him and talked about Ilir. He understood their plan of luring him to their trap and he let them think that they were succeeding. He acted as if everything was happening according to them but just when it was the time for him to play his part and win it, he was informed of the attack on the Ranawat palace and he checked the time, Bhairav wouldn't have reached by now and the fear of losing his family, especially his wife broke the resolve of the BEAST, he tossed his plans away and decided to immediately leave for Ajmer and that was his biggest mistake. He was captured by his enemies and was taken to their den making him lose his control or so they thought.
Bhairav, Ranveer, Avyan and Isha decided on the course of action and dispersed from there but Isha couldn't be at peace. She felt she was missing something, her husband wasn't careless to let her be clueless about him. Someone trusted would have definitely known about his whereabouts, in most cases that someone was Bhairav, but now if it was not him, then who was it ? Isha wondered.
Minutes passed into hours and now it was 4 days since her husband went missing and things started to get messy, that started with the state-level agency probing into R Empire's internal affairs.
Things were going as per schedule in the office, and important projects that needed Abhyansh's approval directly were put to a halt, except for that, things were running smoothly but the disruption started with top officials belonging to the Rajasthan State Bureau of Investigation, along with their director made their way into the office. The state finally made its move, for decades, they were itching to end Abhyansh Singh Ranawat's dominance but his power didn't let them do anything. The biggest strength of him was himself. He was shrewd to a point that he could defeat the biggest of the big powers so they didn't dare to do it till now, but the news they received 4 days ago was too good to hear about his disappearance. The urge to create trouble in R Empire was too much but they resisted as they didn't want to be so obvious so they waited for a couple of days.
"We need to talk to Chairman Abhyansh Singh Ranawat", the director, Mr. Chakraborty said storming into the R Empire space.
"His Royal Highness is on a business trip, unfortunately, he won't be able to meet you Mr. Chakraborty", John said. As soon as the security at the gate informed him about their arrival, John along with the immediate staff of Abhyansh came to the first floor. State agency or Central, none has the power to enter Abhyansh's office at the top floor until he allowed, so John decided to deal with these people on the first floor. "Let's go in and discuss this", John suggested but the director outright rejected John's proposal.
"Let the employees of R Empire also know what their boss has been doing to create all this wealth", Mr. Chakraborty said, and that fumed Isha, how dare he speak about her husband like that ? She wasn't stupid, she knew why they were here now and what was their motive. Her husband might not have told her in detail about his vast empire but he sure gave her brief about every sector major or minor, so she had an idea of everything.
"Innocent until proven guilty, and alleging an innocent with such harsh words doesn't suit your dignity Mr. Chakraborty", Isha said walking forward.
Ranveer and Avyan came there followed by Bhairav hearing about the commotion.
"You are ?", Mr. Chakraborty asked, his tone polite but he sure tried to be nonchalant and ignorant though his internal fear for the BEAST didn't let him sound harsh with the queen. He knew who she was.
"Rani sa...", Bhairav stepped in to give a proper introduction of Isha and also threw a punch or two at the man for being rude to the queen but Isha stopped Bhairav with a polite smile.
"Isha Abhyansh Singh Ranawat... Like John suggested, let's go inside and discuss this...", Isha said but no, that man was adamant, he demanded to see the financial records, ledgers, and everything. With his each word, he tried to intimidate Isha a lot but she remained calm shocking everyone, they thought she would break considering all the allegations the department officials were putting on Abhyansh and the whole family. At one point, Ranveer and Avyan thought of involving themselves but Isha stopped them signing them with her eyes.
"Hm... seems like you have a lot on your plate... No problem, please go ahead with your probing, our staff will be happy to help you with it. But, yeah make sure you are not rude to them... The top management made sure every employee got their deserved respect, especially Rana sa and he wouldn't like it if you people disrespect his staff, especially in his absence ", she stressed the absence word so that they understood that she knew why they were here. Two can play this game and now she would see how they find any evidence to throw dirt on her husband's reputation.
They walked away, they searched for the whole day but couldn't find a single paper they could use against Abhyansh.
"We want to interrogate you Mrs. Ranawat", The director finally said
"That's enough, How dare you say that to Rani sa ?", Bhairav fumed shielding Isha...
"Bhairav, it's okay... let them do their job but before that...", she started, turning to the officer who dared to say that... "Show me the evidence that it's your job that you are doing", she asked indirectly asking for orders to interrogate her.
She knew they didn't have any, though they had an idea of her husband's missing, they wouldn't dare to officially issue permission to take her into custody, Ranawats were too powerful for anyone to touch them and Isha knew it very well.
The whole staff was in shock at the audacity of the officers to talk to Isha in such a way. After some talks, they left there promising to return with the orders and Isha responded with a sassy remark saying 'Happy to help always' which further fumed them.
After they left, Ranveer and Avyan asked if they should talk to the central authorities but Isha refused, she wanted to see how far they go.
"I so wanted to destroy them Bhabhi ma, how dare they question you", Avyan asked
"Leave them to your bhai sa Avyan, he will take care of it", Isha replied calmly and left for her workplace followed by her colleagues, everyone followed suit.
"I didn't expect you to be that confident and brave with a state-level agency director...", Ragini told Isha... She thought she would have gotten frightened, especially at how intimidated they sounded. Isha would have but the confidence that she had in her husband that he would protect her even when he was far away filled her with courage.
"I would have got scared but when I thought of what my man is capable of, fear was replaced by pity for those men", Isha said confidently... Ragini nodded with a smile... It was true... Abhyansh Singh Ranawat could become a scary BEAST if someone even thought of hurting his wife and here these people crossed too many lines.
