CHAPTER – 16
"Veer ? Is everything alright ?", Ragini asked Ranveer who was indulged in thinking about the happenings of the past few days... Especially since his sister and brother-in-law went to Germany. He so wanted to call up Isha and tell her everything but refrained from doing it. He first wanted to find out the whole truth so that the half truth and the hidden past couldn't hurt his sister anymore.
Though Ranveer got to know a lot of things from Neil Singhania, there are a lot of things he still had to know, like how his father trapped his bhabhosa in Advaita's killing...
Neil said even he didn't know about it but he did say that Amar was the culprit. What happened that night was still a mystery because there were only 6 people present there according to Neil. The two men who were hired to physically assault the baby princess and then kill her, Kailash Rajput, Madan, Amar Rajput, and Abhyansh. Out of these, 4 were already dead, the only people that could help Ranveer with the truth were Abhyansh and Kailash. Ranveer was sure his brother-in-law would kill him if he asked him about Advaita Or that night again. He rememberedAbhyansh'stone slightly tremble when he narrated about what happened to his sister. No matter what, he wouldn't want to repeat it, also Ranveer knew Abhyansh in his terrible physical and mental condition was unable to depict Kailash Rajput's games and saw only those things that he wanted him to see.
Kailash knew Abhyansh was very smart and would realize his plan if he was in the right condition, so he got his men to injurethe beastbadly before starting his game. He took all the measures to turn the plot in his favor and Chirag Rathore and his hatred for Amar Rajput only helped Kailash in his motives. He drugged Abhyansh as per Kailash's instructions.
"Ranveer...", Ragini called bringing him back from his thoughts...
"Huh ? Yes Ragini ?", Ranveer responded coming back from his thoughts...
"I asked is everything alright, but I now know nothing is... But whatever it is, I am always there with you", Ragini said holding his palm...
"I know... And I am fortunate to have you in my life, I wish I could tell you in words how much you mean to me...", Ranveer said pulling her in a hug...
"I know Veer... I know... Okay, I'm hungry... Let's make something", Ragini said excitedly
"You mean you will watch while I cook ?", Ranveer asked making her smile sheepishly...
"Come on, I am not that bad... I'll help you...", Ragini said pulling him to the kitchen...
"By washing vegetables ?", he sulked making her laugh.
She remembered how she just washed vegetables the previous day in the pretext of helping him cook...
"Come on... Now don't be like that... That's the only thing I am good at, when it comes to cooking", Ragini said and Ranveer rolled his eyes...
"No baby... You boil the water too... Trust me the water tastes so delicious when you do it, you have magic in your hands", Ranveer mocked her and there started the bickering. Ragini mentally lauded herself for bringing him out of his misery at least for now.
After a while, Ragini and Ranveer left for the R Empire office as the workload was too much due to Abhyansh and Isha's absence. After concluding the day's meetings, Ranveer reached Ranawat palace at midnight with Avyan. He didn't return to Rajput palace as it was very late and he wasn't left with much energy to drive so far.
"You guys are back ?", Amruta asked walking towards them, she got worried looking at their tired faces, "Go and wash your hands, I'll get the dinner arranged by then", Amruta said and both of them nodded.
"You should have been asleep by now ma, why are you awake ?", Avyan asked, after Ranveer and he settled in the dining hall and Amruta was serving them.
"It's fine, I was waiting for you both, I know you guys are so tired that you would have directly slipped to your rooms without having dinner if I wasn't here", Amruta said and they didn't argue as she was right.
"Have you spoken to Anshi lately ?", Amruta asked Avyan...
"No ma, she is busy with her studies there, and these days I'm very occupied with work, and more than anything, our time difference is a problem", Avyan said and Amruta nodded...
"Okay, but don't ignore her, speak to her on a Saturday night, as it will be morning for her, and it wouldn't cause a problem even if you go to bed late, as you can sleep till late the next day, your brother wasn't here to scold you if you are late for the breakfast", Amruta said
"I will ma", Avyan said, as he didn't want to let his mother know all the issues between him and his fiance. His heart squeezed every time he thought of her... Her cordial behavior and the distance she tries to maintain every time he tries to take a step towards her is aching his heart but the fact that she is his fiance and will be his future wife always satisfied him. He knew his feelings for Anshi were more than a mere liking but he decided to keep those at bay for now.
They both continue to have their dinner and after completion, Avyan leaves to his chamber asking Ranveer to drop his mother to her chamber on his way to the guest chambers, Ranveer nods and walks towards the west wing along with Amruta.
"Can I ask you something ?", Ranveer politely started, looking at Amruta...
"Of course Ranveer, what is it ?", Amruta asked with a gentle smile...
"Were you in touch with Chirag Rathore before the night of your daughter's killing ?", Ranveer asked bluntly... He wasn't in a situation to sugarcoat his words, he needed to know the truth as soon as possible, he knew the bits & pieces of it and it's very important for him to find the whole truth.
Amruta was taken aback at the harshness of reality but Ranveer told her how important it is for him to know the truth now and Amruta realized it's time her son too listened to her, yes, she was at fault, and she is regretting it badly, and weighing the punishment for her sins for more than 1.8 decades, along with her guilt and regret, without even getting the chance to convey the truth to her son, she was dying every second and now it's high time she put an end to everything.
"I'll answer your question Ranveer, you are right, it's important for everyone to know the truth now, I didn't know who plotted my daughter's killing and why, but I know my son didn't spare her culprits...", Amruta trailed but Ranveer interrupted her...
"I wish he punished all the culprits Mrs. Ranawat, but the mastermind behind everything hadn't still received the punishment, but for that, I need to know everything that took place between you and Chirag Rathore days before that incident. Please, tell me", Ranveer begged and Amruta nodded with tears of confusion and agony.
After the fallout with Amar, Chirag got close to Kailash who portrayed Amar Rajput as the Villian and made him believe by showing all the letters he wrote to the other royal families instigating them against Ranawats. He also sowed seeds of doubt against Pallavi Rajput of using Amruta's innocence to reap benefits for her husband(Amar). Chirag who still loved Amruta wanted to protect her and her family. He didn't like Pratap's behavior towards her, so after sorting all this, he wanted to take Amruta away from Pratap, but first he needed to solve the issues, and on the same note, he started cautioning Amruta indirectly against Pallavi Rajput, Amruta felt his behavior very weird but tried to ignore him as she was still afraid of her husband knowing about Chirag being the one who she got engaged to in the past.
Chirag got back to Amar only to protect Amruta's family, he convinced Amar that he would help him in handling the business withRanawats, Amar didn't want to cause any inconvenience to Amruta with Chirag's presence but he didn't have any choice, as he had to give his time in handling the problems arising in their businesses abroad, and he cannot trust anyone else to deal with Ranawats fairly, but he trusted Chirag as he loved Amruta and wouldn't let anything bad happen with her family.
And in those days when Amar was away from the Ranawat family, and Chirag represented from Rajputs side, he slowly yet subltly tried to caution Amruta and Pratap about Amar and Pallavi Rajput, Pratap though got his hints ignored all of them as he trusted Amar blindly. Chirag became so close to their family that they even had lunches and dinners at eachother's places thoughAbhyanshwas never a part of this circus, he monitored the developments from afar.
One day, Kailash Rajput told Chirag that Amar was planning something huge that could destroy theRanawatscompletely leaving them without a heir, as Amar planned to kill all three heirs of the Ranawat family, especially the twins. Kailash got Chirag's intentions for Amruta and provoked him against Abhyansh as well. Chirag knew thatAbhyanshwouldn't let Amruta leave with him, so he decided to protect only the Ranawat twins, letting Abhyansh fall prey to Amar Rajput's plotting. Kailash and Chirag planned to weaken Abhyansh physically as well so that he wouldn't be able to defend himself against Amar Rajput and his army, well that's what Kailash told Chirag, and he drugged Abhyansh through Amruta, and she who didn't know Chirag's intentions didn't doubt his actions feeding the same food to her son.
When the Ranawat twins got abducted, Chirag thought it was done by Amar, and he thought everything would go as per plan, but what he didn't expect was Advaita's death. Though the drug didn't have much effect on the BEAST, it did affect his senses a bit in regular time intervals that night and Kailash's men took that time as an advantage to attack him.
After Advaita's death, when Abhyansh forced his mother to wear a new saree on her birthday and sent her to the temple so that she would get out of her depression of losing her daughter, Amruta met Chirag who consoled her on her daughter's death, which was spotted by Pratap. He didn't see Chirag's face, but Chirag who saw Pratap slapping Amruta was determined to get her out of that hell.
On the other hand,Abhyansh was madly searching for his sister's culprits along with Bhuvan and Bhairav and got busy in ending them one by one. Chirag too openly testified against Amar Rajput which made Pratap hate Amar. Abhyansh tried to pull down Amar Rajput and kill him for what he had done to his sister, but every time Neil Singhania came into the picture stopping Abhyansh from reaching Amar. Abhyansh thought Neil was protecting Amar but in actuality Neil was protecting Kailash and himself. He was afraid, if Abhyansh captured Amar, he would get to know all the truth from Amar and despite, whether Abhyansh believed Amar or not, it would definitely cause him to suspect someone else's hand in all this and that would eventually lead to them, he knewAbhyanshwas capable of pulling all the truth with just a drop of hint, so Neil prevented Abhyansh from reaching Amar using all his wealth, power and strategy. Neil accidentally got to know Kailash's truth and hence helped Kailash as he also liked the idea of having all the Royal wealth of the country to themselves. If they end Amar Rajput and Abhyansh Singh Ranawat, they could enjoy all the royal wealth as they have all other Royal families dancing to their tunes. They cleverly made Amar and Abhyansh against each other and made Abhyansh destroy Amar. Neil knew he wouldn't be able to stop the BEAST for long, so they decided to bring Amar Rajput's end soon followed by Abhyansh's.
In all this, they underestimated the BEAST and his best friend. Abhyansh already solved his grandfather's death mystery, he knew Uday Singh Ranawat was brutally murdered by the royal families, he suspected Amar Rajput but he couldn't get to believe it. Then he found the amount that was paid to a professional contract killer that caused Pratap's accident was from Amar Rajput's account and it immediately raised concerns, Abhyansh didn't believe that Amar Rajput could be so stupid to actually use his own account to pay the contract killer and even Bhuvan felt so. There could be only two explanations for this, either Amar Rajput was openly challenging the Ranawats by paying the contract killer from his account or there was actually some gameplayedbehind. Well, that was the theory offered by Bhuvan and he asked Abhyansh to calm down before trying to attack Amar Rajput, and valuing his friend's opinion, Abhaynsh slowed down and he regretted it in the next few days.
With the same doubt, Abhyansh decided to capture Chirag and end him too. He soon got to know Chirag's intentions for his mother, this only fueled the accusations Pratap put on Amruta, Abhyansh didn't want to hear his mother and know her faults, he was already broken badly and in all this mess, his mother was the only one keeping him sane, and he knew himself, if he got to know his mother betrayed his father in any way, he wouldn't even be able to see her face properly and he couldn't afford to generate hatred for his mother in his heart, so he kept himself away from the truth, he also ordered everyone not to talk about it anymore.He loved his mother too much to even think about moving away from her
Abhyansh was busy punishing his sister's culprits, and he along with Bhairav and his men went to end them when they received information about them, but they soon realized it was a trap but it was too late, Bhuvan who was asked to stay at the palace to protect the Ranawat family was brutally killed leaving the BEAST inAbhyanshunleash.
After learning the truth about his mother's betrayal, the few emotions that were left in him too disappeared turning him into a wounded animal and he caused unimaginable destruction to everyone.Abhyanshregretted leaving Amar alive earlier hearing Bhuvan's theory of possibilities, he didn't want to commit such a mistake again. But before he could do anything, the Rajput couple died in an accident, and soon after that Neil went underground to save himself from the BEAST while Kailash Rajput rose to the throne, though he wasn't crowned or announced as the king, the power and money of Rajputs fell into his hands openly, and he acted as if he wasn't interested in all the responsibilities but had no option other than to take them.
Amruta didn't know any of this, she only told Ranveer the truth from her point of view which involved how Chirag spoke against Amar subtly in the days before, Advaita and Avyan were kidnapped, it was as if he expected such kind a mishap coming their way. Ranveer didn't understand why Chirag Rathore would speak against Amar Rajput ? Ranveer did meet Chirag many times as he was a best friend to his 'bhabhosa'. So, Ranveer couldn't understand his reasons, the only reason he could see was 'Amruta' but of course, he couldn't say this on her face. No matter what, he knew Amruta wasn't that kind of lady, despite the tortures and verbal abuse she faced from Pratap, she prayed for his well-being, and she was loyal to him, so Ranveer understood it could be a plan only from Chirag's side.
"Thanks for telling me, and I'm sorry if my probing hurt you", Ranveer politely told Amruta but she shook her head.
"No Ranveer... It's okay, at least someone is willing to ask me and hear things", she said and Ranveer understood her pain of being unheard by her eldest son.
"Soon things will settle down, don't worry", he assured her, and after she walked inside her chamber, he left for his...
As soon as he entered his chamber and shut the door, his resolve broke and all the thoughts about the past he was keeping at bay to function properly, now broke into his head.
Chirag was ready to do anything for Amruta and her family, well that's what Neil told Ranveer, even Amruta was confident that Chirag was a good man but Ranveer didn't believe he was what he showed everyone. Ranveer suspected Chirag wanted Amruta back and plotted against Abhyansh for it, but Ranveer had no base for his argument because till now all the past he got to know was through Neil Singhania.
Kailash Rajput clicked pictures with Isha wearing those bangles and kept them safely with him. These would form a strong motive for Amar to kill the Ranawat princess and prince. After Pratap's accident, Amar ignored the differences and helped him recover, Pratap slowly forgave Amar for going behind his back and reaching out to his mother.
Then the Ranawat twins were abducted and Amar left Ranawat palace hurriedly on the same morning. What made him leave the Ranawat palace in a hurry is still a mystery to everyone including Neil. But after Advaita was killed and all the evidence pointed to Amar, it was proved that it was the reason why he left the palace that day.
"I didn't know what made Amar leave the Ranawat palace in a hurry, even Kailash didn't discuss it with me ever on what he was planning, I just know that he was planning the Ranawat siblings' killing and he was going to trap Amar Rajput in it. How he did it is still a mystery but your bhabhosa wasn't innocent, he killed tens of Abhyansh Singh Ranawat's men that day before hitting the Ranawat princess with his car, it might be an accident but he was responsible for her death", Neil said
"What do you mean ?", Ranveer asked, and What Neil said left Ranveer in shock.
Amar's car hit Advaita and he rushed out to see what happened, and that's when Abhyansh received a final blow on his head making him lose consciousness. Kailash was passing through that way, he was out on some work, when he received Pallavi's call, saying Isha fell down and lost a lot of blood and needed to be taken to hospital immediately. Amar looked at Advaita and realized who she was, he was left in dispair, one side his best friend's daughter was badly injured by his car, on the otherside, his daughter fell down and needed his presence. Amar was in a dilemma on who to tend to.
Amar walked towards Advaita, she gave him a weak smile forwarding her bloodied palm towards him, begging him with her eyes to save her. She so wanted to convey what a monster his brother Kailash Rajput was, but she couldn't, her head and body were filled with bloodmaking it impossible for her to say anything.
Then Kailash offered to take her to the hospital, while Amar went and tended to Isha. Advaita's eyes widened, she understood what he was doing, sure she was just 7-8 years old but she was very smart for her age, unlike her innocent twin. She shook her head and started screaming in pain, Amar's eyes were filled but he chose his daughter. Kailash's manipulations only fueled his decision. Kailash asked his brother to take his car while he got his car repaired when Amar told him his car was getting out of control which caused the accident.
Amar left in Kailash's car while Kailash killed Advaita brutally.
"Your bhabhosa left the little girl to die, despite hitting her with his car, he chose his daughter, he was a selfish man... if he hadn't left her there that night, she wouldn't have faced so much torture, I am an emotionless and selfish ba***rd, but even I felt bad when I saw that little girl's dead body which was sent to Ranawats by your father, No wonder Abhyansh Singh Ranawat hated Amar Rajput's blood for so long", Neil said
Those words of Neil rang in Ranveer's head every second he was idle, every breath he took in Ranawat palace was like poison to him, he was angry and extremely mad for what Kailash Rajput did to Advaita, but he was utterly guilty for what his 'bhabhosa' did. He never thought Kailash Rajput as his family let alone his father but his bhabhosa was more than a father to him, and the fact that it was because of him that the Ranawat Princess was subjected to a brutal killing didn't let him sleep. He could never forget or forgive this and he knew his sister wouldn't forgive too but he was afraid of her reaction when he would tell her all this. It would leave her shattered, till now she was hoping her father to be proved not guilty but he was guilty though not in a way Abhyansh blamed him but he was responsible for a little girl's death, and Isha would feel more guilty as because of her that her father had to leave Advaita to die.
Kailash Rajput told his brother that Advaita died on their way to the hospital, it broke Amar Rajput, the guilt was killing him from within, he immediately told the whole truth to his wife and mother, who consoled him. Amar wanted to take Advaita's body to Ranawats but Kailash Rajput stopped him saying the whole empire and their people who were dependent on their family would come on the roads if he went to jail. They also know Abhyansh and his anger, he would definitely kill Amar so Sanghvi Devi advised Amar not to reveal it.
Bhuvan returned to India immediately after knowing what all happened here. He helped Abhyansh recover and soon Abhyansh, Bhairav, and Bhuvan started their destruction, avenging Advaita's death, they killed everyone responsible for her suffering brutally torturing them, its as if Abhyansh turned into an animal and looking at his suffering turned his best friend into an animal too. Most of the time Abhyansh and Bhuvan in revenge used to take impulsive steps without caring about their safety so Bhairav had to be the cautious one, always accompanying them.
Amar realized the Ranawats by now got to know who did it and Abhyansh found that it was from Amar Rajput's account that the money was debited for paying the man who caused Pratap's accident but Bhuvan stopped him from reacting listing the possibilities. Amar and Pallavi wanted to tell the truth to Abhyansh but they couldn't muster the courage.
Abhyansh and Bhuvan tried to get to Amar but Neil Singhania with his underground friends prevented it. One day, Pratap called Amar and blamed him for all the destruction and for plotting their downfall, Amar realized there was more to it and started his investigation. During the same time, Abhyansh came there to get him arrested but Pallavi gave his alibi which generated hatred in Abhyansh who was already dealing with his father's accusations against his mother, he started noticing the destruction women around him were causing.
Chirag started helping Abhyansh in catching Amar Rajput butAbhyanshdidn't trust him. After he received all the details and information, he decided to kill Chirag but Amruta leaked the plan to Chirag causing his escape. Abhyansh was furious, he didn't know how Chirag got to know, but he decided to attempt again soon. Chirag told Amruta that Amar Rajput and the other royal families were searching for him to kill him as he helped them, while her son was also behind his life despite him helping them, so Amruta in order to save Chirag's life gave him the blueprints of the back palace.
Abhyansh got a lead on the man who abducted the twins from the palace so he left taking Bhairav with him, asking Bhuvan for the family's safety. Only after going there that they realized all this was a trap, tens of men attacked them but Bhairav and Abhyansh handled them efficiently, they quickly went home only to see the blood bath everywhere. His best friend's death will be a lifelong trauma, he would never heal from it, Abhyansh thought. Despite the fury he felt after Advaita's death, Bhuvan was there to handle him and his fury but now he was like a wounded lion, and the destruction he caused was catastrophic and devastating.
'He wanted to hide so badly right ? So be it, he will regret hiding, he would fall on my feet to kill him...' Abhyansh thought and from that very second, he asked his men to stop searching for Amar Rajput, but instead he concentrated on destroying him without touching him. He first started with his image, then with his friends, his businesses, credibility, his family name and his everything followed.
Amar couldn't handle everything that Abhyansh was doing to him, He didn't know how to convey to them that he wasn't the person they were thinking to be. He suspected his best friends including Chirag for framing him. Amar and Pallavi didn't want to waste any time, they thought if they hid it anymore, Ranawats will be thinking him to be their foremost rival while the actual one would destroy them more. So, he decided to tell the truth to Abhyansh even if it got him killed.
They also decided to report all the peculiar incidents to the police, Amar was sure his car was tampered but the mechanic who repaired it said it was fine which was suspicious to Amar. Pallavi told her sister that they were going to the Ranawat palace to tell the truth to Abhyansh. She also told Nandini that Amar suspected his best friends in the destruction. She told that she will discuss all other things later. She didn't tell Nandini how Amar left the still-breathing Advaita in his brother's care and drove to the Rajput palace to tend to Isha's wound.
The next day, when Amar and Pallavi were on their way to Ranawat palace, they were killed in an accident. Neil knew Kailash caused the accident and he told Ranveer the same. Nandini reached the place of the accident as she was on her way to the Rajput palace but by then Amar was already dead and Pallavi was taking her last breaths, she took a promise from Nandini to convey the truth to the Ranawats, she was also about to say about Kailash but before that, she died. What was Pallavi going to tell or how she and Amar got to know about Kailash's true face was still a mystery.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Rana sa... where are we going today ?", Isha asked excitedly.
"Isha ? It was 2:30 in the night bacha... sleep for some more time, will tell you in the morning", Abhyansh said
"Uff... this is the morning... and stop sleeping like a log and take me out...", Isha demanded glaring at him...
Abhyansh closed his eyes to handle his frustration, he so wanted to kill Dr. Parthasartahy because his sessions were not helping, his temper rose when his wife threw her anger at him, and despite the sessions, he couldn't calm himself...
"It's not very healthy to be up at odd times Isha... come back to bed and sleep for now, I'll take you to the best place in the morning...", he replied as calmly as his anger allowed him to...
Isha understood the coldness behind his calm tone and didn't argue much... She climbed on the bed and laid beside him with her head on his chest while he ruffled her hair and soon she fell into sleep. And then he did his work. That was his routine, he worked when she was asleep because she hated it if he worked on vacation. He was allowed to take work calls but that's it, if he opened his laptop or tab, she would get mad. Pregnancy has made her very cranky and her mood swings are at it's peak and Abhyansh was bearing the brunt of it, just like her friends predicted.
The next morning, Isha just woke up and was trying to sit up, but Abhyansh helped her. She saw him in his Puja clothes with the red shawl covering his upper body.
"Go and freshen up, we are leaving for the temple", he said and she frowned
"Temple and here ?", Isha asked confused and he nodded. "But you are just coming after completing your prayers in the temple inside", she pointed out. They have an inbuilt temple in their mansion, every home of Abhyansh's has an in built Shiv Mandir irrespective of the country. He couldn't live a day without offering prayers to his 'Mahadev'
"There is a beautiful mandir here, you would love it there, the structure and the weather are very peaceful, We'll be performing the Maha Aarti there, so get ready bacha...", Abhyansh said tucking her hair behind her ear, kissing her forehead making her smile widely.
"Rana sa... Thank you", Isha said hugging him, he just kissed her hair in response. She went into the washroom and after freshening up, she wore a saree siding the simple churidar her husband kept it there, she wanted to get ready perfectly, every day she makes minimal effort but today she wanted to look the best for her husband. Also, it's been weeks since she wore a saree, as from the time she came outside India, all she wore were dresses, or sometimes, it was her churidars or simple Anarkalis. She missed wearing sarees terribly and knew her husband too missed seeing her in those so she thought to surprise him.
She searched for her matching ear rings and after a lot of time searching for them, she found it, then she started looking for jewelry and after finding all that, she couldn't find her bangles and this frustrated her a lot. These days she is getting tired easily and in anger she threw the jewelry bag in her hand, Abhyansh rushed to the dressing room hearing the sound.
"Isha... Are you okay ?", he asked and she nodded looking visibly upset... He slowly picked up the bag and put it a side...
"What's wrong bacha ?", he asked softly, sitting on his knees in front of her...
"I couldn't find anything, I wanted to get ready today, but can't find a single thing, it's so frustrating, my ear rings, jewelry, bangles, kajal, everything is misplaced... I'm frustrated and I don't have enough patience to search for them, I'm done, I get tired very easily", She said and soon tears made their way...
Abhyansh softly wiped her tears, looking at her stressful phase was tougher than he thought.
"No need to stress over it bacha... Just calm down hm ?", he said softly and within the next 2 minutes he searched her bangles matching with her saree and made her wear them, followed by her earrings and jewelry...
"This, you have to do it yourself, I'm afraid I would hurt your eyes", he said holding the Kajal stick making her laugh. He gently kissed her forehead and she hugged him tightly...
"How would I manage without you ?", she asked and he gave her small smile...
"You would never have to... because for once even you could manage yourself but I couldn't, without you", he said and she laughed at it...
After she got ready, they went out, she like his possessive queen, pinned his red shawl so that his body wasn't visible... She even asked him to wear a proper shirt but since they have to offer the 'Maha Aarti' he had to go like that.
The couple reached the temple and they got the red carpet welcome, no matter the country or the place they went, all they got was huge respect, she realized her husband was not only powerful but well-respected as well. He got schools built, offered employment, and built hospitals in all the countries his business empire existed. They visited more than 10 countries in these few weeks and Abhyansh took her to the best places there without stressing her too much and he loved the fact that it was he who took her out of the country for the first time and not her brother. He was possessive even that way, only he should do things for his wife, not anyone else.
The couple offered the Maha Aarti and Isha even participated in the 'Food distribution' to the poor. After a while, Abhyansh took her home as he could see the fatigue on her face. On their way, he fed her lunch as he knew she was hungry and he didn't want her to stay hungry till they reached home.
After taking rest for a while, the couple went to sightseeing, walking on the peaceful roads of Greece. Isha loved the nature and the diverse landscapes there. The Roman touch, ancient buildings, and peaceful atmosphere helped her calm her inner turmoil. She knew her brother has almost discovered the truth, she could say by his tensed tone every time he talked to her and the worry and ache he tried to hide every time, she knew it but for now, she ignored the past concentrating on her peace.
"Stand here... I'll take a picture of yours", her husband offered surprising her...
"What's wrong with you ? Why suddenly? These days, you are taking a lot of photos of mine, aren't you ?", she teased him...
"I am... But of my wife, not any random woman, I don't think there should be a problem with it Rani sa, is there ?", Abhyansh replied... Isha shook her head and stood leaning on the railing, the sunset and the warm rays traveling above and amidst the mountains offered a great location, Abhyansh focussed the lens on his wife, she tried to hide her now slightly visible baby bump but Abhyansh frowned.
"Don't do that Rani sa...", he said in his usual cold tone but she could hear the possessiveness underlying it, he never let her hide her bump or cover it when they were alone. He enjoyed the feeling of their children growing in her womb, it made him respect and love her even more... and she could feel his love multiplying every second.
"Okay baba, calm down", she said, giving a pose, and he took her pictures... It surprised her to see her husband like this, relaxed and casual. Though his stern posture and cold tone were still there, she managed to get him change his attire, for which she was thankful, he looked extremely hot in the white polo half t-shirt and jeans, she kept admiring him from time to time...
"Now your turn", she said forwarding her hands but he shook his head...
"I'm fine", he said and she frowned...
"Such a brooding man I got... Let me take at least this memory, what if I forgot how you looked in casual wear ? I need this masterpiece with me for life", she said and he rolled his eyes at her drama...
"Don't talk like I don't wear all these at home", he said
"Do you ?", she asked, he opened his mouth to say something but quickly shut it hearing her... "Not just in our room, anyways, don't waste my time... there is a lot of sightseeing to cover this evening...", she said snatching the camera from him...
"God! Isha...", he groaned but couldn't deny his stubborn wife, especially when she is pregnant, it's as if her stubbornness had tripled with the effect of triplets.
She clicked his pictures and then she wanted someone to click both of their pictures but Abhyansh didn't want any of his men to do it except for Bhairav, but he was in India to support Ranveer and protect the Ranawat family.
"You and your possessiveness... What happens if one of your men captures us ?", Isha asked
"I don't like them focussing on you, I would feel like taking out their eyeballs", Abhyansh replied making her roll her eyes... 'TheBEAST would remain a beast always', she thought but immediately chided herself, she hated if someone called him that but she did always, especially when she was upset with him...
"Fine... Call a lady...", Isha said and Abhyansh smirked, looking at a young lady, he was about to ask his staff to bring the lady to capture their picture but Isha quickly asked an elderly lady to do the task. Abhyansh smirked at his wife...
"Is this not called possessiveness ?", he whisper-taunted... Isha glared at him and he quickly reframed his sentence... "This is not...", he said and Isha laughed shaking her head at her husband. These days he would try harder not to get her mad, even if he had to go out of character and say 'Yes' to her silly demands, he would do it.
The lady captured their pictures and bowed to Abhyansh and left from there...
"She knew you ?", Isha asked surprised
"She might...", Abhyansh said as he has great relations with Greece and its people.
Isha shook her head at her husband's reach and exactly how famous he was.
After enjoying for a few more weeks visiting Europe, some parts of North America, and South Asia, Abhyansh and Isha returned home.
They got a grand welcome from the Ranawat family, Ranveer and Ragini. After having dinner, Isha and Abhyansh walked to their chamber. Isha started unpacking and it pissed Abhyansh.
"You just returned from a tiresome journey, rest Isha", he said and she sighed...
"I will, but just let me at least take out the most necessary thing, Avyan will be so happy to see it", she said excitedly...
"He would be happy and excited even if you give it to him tomorrow, for now, sleep", he said and she rolled her eyes, halting her unpacking, she started walking towards the kitchen. "Now what ?", Abhyansh said in his cold tone, following her to the kitchen...
She started taking out the vessel to make coffee for him but he held her wrist stopping her.
"Please just rest bacha", he said, he knew she was gonna make coffee for him...
"You look very pissed and I know only my coffee would make you feel better", Isha said
"Seeing you rest will do the work, so go and rest, You shouldn't enter the kitchen", he answered, as not much patience was left in him, he had a lot of things to deal with.
"Rana sa... why the hell are you adamant? I cooked there as well, no ? and you didn't stop me then...", he narrowed his eyes and she instantly corrected... "I mean you did, but eventually agreed to my requests", she said
"That's because the food, chefs made wasn't even near to satisfactory and you were unable to eat, and I did help you with the majority ofpreparing our meals but now I can't, I'm busy so you won't work here, your mother-in-law is here to make food, so don't bother, just go and sleep, I shouldn't see you anywhere except on the bed", he ordered, she opened her mouth to say something but he shut her up with his, and carried her to the bed.
"Don't go... I miss us...", she said pulling him closer when he broke the kiss and is about to leave.
"We just returned from our honeymoon and you already miss us hm ?", he asked huskily making her blush...
"It's babymoon technically...", Isha said placing her lips on his, he swiped her lips with his tongue making her eyes shut in an adrenaline rush... Her stomach fluttered with the pleasurable sensations...
"But based on the things we did there, I better call it honeymoon rather than babymoon", he teased her... Her mood swings peaked, and having him alone for her did only little to help it. And after the doctor's go-ahead, Abhyansh too gave in to her demands, he was gentle though, it was difficult for Isha to adjust to his gentle self as she enjoyed his rough and beastly side more, but he made it better with time and made sure she is satisfied in every sense. The hardest task was to keep his beast from making his presence.
"Go away...", she said glaring at him but unconsciously pulled him closer...
"Choose one thing, don't give mixed signals Rani sa... Remember you're playing with a starved lion", he whispered huskily... She opened her mouth widely at his 'starved lion' comment, but she knew it was somewhere true in his case... She captured his lips taking him into a passionate kiss.
"I just need this... now you can go", she said pushing him away slightly making him groan...
"You'll pay for this after my kids come out", he said, kissing her tummy surprising her... The different ways he finds to show his affection towards his kids is a sight for sore eyes... He wasn't usually vocal about his love for his children but little acts like this warmed her heart. She knew this rude and brooding man would soon change for his kids more.
He left for his study while she tried to sleep but the surprise they brought for Avyan didn't let her. So, she quickly picked up the neatly gift-wrapped box from their luggage and walked towards Avyan's chamber. She entered the chamber only to be met by Avyan who was walking out with his laptop.
"Where are you going at this time of the night ?", Isha asked
"Bhai sa called to the study", Avyan replied and Isha understood her husband started troubling the poor soul as soon as he arrived.
"Thank God, my brother was saved from this midnight torture", Isha said, she thought Ranveer left for the Rajput palace after welcoming them...
"No... That's your delusion bhabhi ma... Bhai sa just allowed Ranveer to drop Ragini home and then return... Your brother is already in the study", Avyan said hardly controlling his chuckle... He enjoyed it when Ranveer was troubled by Abhyansh, their catfights and Ranveer's expressions always entertained him.
"Weren't you enjoying too much huh ?", Isha questioned and Avyan chuckled...
"Sorry bhabhi ma, but I couldn't stop myself", Avyan replied... Isha shook her head at her childish brother-in-law, she loved him all smiles, and she and Abhyansh always prayed for his happiness whenever they prayed for their triplets. For them, Avyan was their first child.
"Your bhai sa and I got something for you", Isha said handing over the small gift box to him...
"This isn't needed bhabhi ma... Everything I have is a gift from you and bhai sa", Avyan said, Isha ruffled his hair shaking her head.
"No Avi... Everything you have is because of your efforts, don't overlook your hard work in your love and respect for us, give yourself some credit", Isha said, Avyan gave her a smile and a nod but both of them knew Avyan wouldn't change his perspective. He is always grateful to his brother and now his bhabhi ma and that would never change. "Okay, open this now, maybe then you wouldn't say 'it wasn't needed' after looking at it", Isha said and Avyan nodded...
Avyan unwrapped it to find an expensive limited-edition watch from his favorite brand.
"My god! this is just... awesome bhabhi ma... thank you", Avyan said with excitement, hugging her...
"You haven't unveiled the actual surprise yet", Isha said, giggling at his excitement...
"What is...", Avyan started, looking inside the box and that's when he found a small note. He opened it and read...
"Happy Birthday Kunwar sa..."
That's how Anshi calls him, but how did her handwritten note come there...
"She was the one who picked this watch for you...", Isha said and Avyan frowned, how did all this happen ? and Isha understood his unasked question... "Well, Your brother and I were missing you on your birthday, I even suggested we return home and celebrate it with you, but couldn't, as I wasn't keeping very well at that time and couldn't afford to travel so much, so instead your brother and I felt we should be with Anshi on your birthday. We flew toMassachusetts and spent the whole day with her. Your bhai sa asked Anshi to select from the collection he got for you. Poor she, didn't even know it was your birthday, but as soon as she got to know, she gave this to me, asking me to hand it over to you", Isha said... Avyan has no words for the sweet gesture his brother and sister-in-law showed. They missed him so much on his birthday that they went to his fiance to spend time with her, to feel his presence.
Avyan hugged Isha trying to hide his emotions.
"I love you bhabhi ma, and thank you for the gift", Avyan said and Isha nodded with a smile ruffling his hair... He broke the hug and made her sit on the nearby couch. "Now I understand what made you so busy on that day... You hardly spoke to me for a minute or two...", Avyan complained...
"Yeah sorry Avi, we were supposed to return by night and I thought of calling you after returning, but your brother wanted to personally check if Anshi is comfortable in her dorm. Or else, he wanted to shift her to our mansion nearby, he was never okay with the fact that she would want to stay in a dorm, as other students instead of her own place, I had to convince him a lot to let her be", Isha said and Avyan widened his mouth in surprise.
"Bhai sa is so protective about my fiance, but he made me stay in the dorm despite my complaining to him that I couldn't stay there as I was bullied, but then everything got fine in the next few weeks, I know bhai sa has a hand in that, but still... Why wasn't I offered the mansion and comforts ?", Avyan complained making Isha laugh
"She is gonna be the princess of the Ranawat empire, You should have understood by now that your brother is and will be partial towards the princesses of our family, don't worry, I am there for the boys' team", Isha said and Avyan nodded with a wide smile...
"I'm very happy, bhai sa accepted Anshi...", Avyan said and Isha nodded...
"He wants to protect her not just because she is the respect of the family, but also because she is gonna be a wife to his dear brother, and I saw the protectiveness in his eyes, he slowly started accepting Anshi as family, the affection could be seen Avi...", Isha said and Avyan nodded with a smile...
Both of them talked for a while before Avyan received a call from Ranveer asking him to come to the study as the 'BEAST' was going out of control and he was unable to manage him alone. So, Avyan rushed to the study and Isha walked to their chamber and she saw Bhairav keeping a notice of her from a distance. She sighed at her husband and his right man's overprotectiveness.
"Bhairav...", Isha called for him who rushed to her immediately...
"Rani sa...", he bowed
"You don't have to keep a note of me every second, I'll be careful while walking, go and do your work, I know you have many important things to do... Since Rana sa is back, you need to give a brief about all these days to him, no ?", she asked and he nodded... "Then go and do the work Bhairav, Don't waste your time", she said politely...
"I'm doing, Rani sa...", Bhairav said showing his tablet and the earpod in his one ear... She saw her husband in the tab, Ranveer and Avyan were briefing him and by his words, Bhairav was also briefing Abhyansh about all the operations and developments that took place in his absence. Isha glared at Bhairav and her husband at their antics.
"You are just like your Maharaj...", Isha said with irritation and stormed towards her chamber...
"Rani sa... slow...", Abhyansh's cautioned voice was heard from the speaker. Isha glared at Bhairav for turning the speaker on... Bhairav looked down... Isha shook her head and left from there, this time walking slowly. Bhairav kept an eye on Isha until she entered her chamber and the huge slap of the chamber gate was heard by Abhyansh too. He understood she was upset and angry again. These days, just a small thing can upset her a lot and make her furious, so he was being extremely careful.
The meeting came to an end in the early hours, Ranveer and Avyan left for their chambers yawning while Abhyansh connected with Dr. Parthasarthy for his sessions. Both of them discussed various ways to keep his calm when Isha was throwing her anger at him, some seemed fine to Abhyansh while some were utterly stupid and Abhyansh blasted at Dr. Parthasarathy for those. Their session came to an end, when Abhyansh wanted to ask about Isha's past.
"By the way... You didn't tell me about my wife's sessions? The reason for her nightmares ?", Abhyansh asked
"Wh...What ? Maharaj... I can..can't... I signed a confidentiality agreement...", he said and Abhyansh frowned...
"Yes so ?", Abhyansh asked, and looking at Dr. Parthasarathy's face, he understood what blunder the old man did... "God! It mentions you should keep it from Ranveer, not from me...", Abhyansh said shocking Dr. Parthasarathy
"But Rani sa...", the old man trailed but couldn't finish his sentence because of Abhyansh's heated glare. "With all due respect, I trust your words, but before disclosing it, I would like to take confirmation from Rani sa", Dr. Parthasarathy said, Abhyansh though furious and impatient, understood and appreciated Dr. Parthasarathy's professionalism and trustworthiness.
"Get a confirmation from her tomorrow and we'll connect then", Saying this, Abhyansh hung up.
He walked to his room, and laid beside his wife, slightly caressing her hair... She sensed his touch and snuggled into his warmth... He gently cocooned her in his arms covering the both of them in a duvet.
----------------------------------------------------
Isha and Ranveer sat in the guest chamber, i.e Ranveer's chamber in Ranawat palace. Isha wanted to know the truth but Ranveer was scared to tell her that...
"Bhai... I know you got to know the whole truth, tell me, please... Baba wasn't at fault right ?", she asked with hope...
"Ishu... I didn't get to know the whole truth bacha... There's still some left and only Kailash Rajput can tell us that", Ranveer responded gritting his teeth...
"Bhai ? You don't look okay", Isha asked, she could see the distress in her brother's eyes.
"Bacha... I want you to be strong and handle yourself well, only then I will tell you the truth... No matter the truth, don't blame yourself... Please", Ranveer said...
"Is Rana sa right? Did baba kill Advaita for me ? No right ? say No bhai... Baba can't do it", Isha said hyperventilating...
"No, he didn't, handle yourself bacha... calm yourself down, only then can I have the courage to tell you Ishu...", Ranveer calmed her down and she took deep breaths to bring her calmer self out... "Listen to me completely Ishu... Don't judge Bhabhosa or blame yourself", Ranveer said and Isha nodded but she wasn't sure of it.
Ranveer narrated everything he got to know in these few days, including how Amar abandoned Advaita despite being aware of her being alive to tend to Isha's wound... All this while holding Isha protectively in his arms. Isha didn't say anything, her brain couldn't register that her father could be so heartless to leave a young girl child suffering that too when he was the one who hit her. How could he not save Advaita ? His best friend's daughter ? a kid who was younger than his daughter ? Who needed him the most at that time ? She till then thought her father was unconditionally kind but the realization hit her hard. He was kind but it came with a condition, until it wasn't about his daughter...
"Ishu...", Ranveer called but Isha took a few minutes to respond, she didn't know what to say...
"Bhai... He wasn't the 'baba' I know, Rana sa was right, I barely know him...", Isha said, and slowly tears slipped from her eyes... Ranveer shook his head consoling her... "If not for him, Advaita wouldn't have suffered such a cruel fate... She... the little kid suffered so much bhai... If baba had taken her to the hospital in time, she would have been alive...", Isha said
"We don't know that bacha", Ranveer said
"Stop taking baba's side bhai... He was wrong... Advaita didn't die because of the accident, but because of the afterpain, the doctor who performed her postmortem told Rana sa...", Isha screamed while sobs escaped her throat.
"I wasn't taking his side Ishu... I'm upset too, I feel guilty even to face Ranawats, especially your mother-in-law... I feel only rage when I think about Kailash Rajput's acts who is my biological father but when I think about what bhabhosa had done, I feel guilty... Because I accepted him as my father and by default, I had to shoulder it", Ranveer said
"We... We had to shoulder it bhai... especially me, he did it all for me... He left a kid dying, just to tend to his daughter who was merely hurt falling off the stairs...", Isha said
"Bhabhosa might not have known the level of injury you had bacha... Kailash Rajput might have manipulated bhabhosa", Ranveer said
"Whatever bhai... if baba had taken Advaita to the hospital that day, things might have taken a different turn today... Advaita might be alive today...", Isha said, wiping her tears but they had no stop. "But, I'm glad that it was proved baba was a well-wisher of Ranawats always, he didn't conspire against them... baba wasn't what Rana sa thought him to be but he wasn't what I thought him to be too", Isha said, Ranveer could hear the heartbreak of a daughter...
"Choosing to leave Advaita like that was bhabhosa's mistake Ishu... and he might have died a hundred deaths leaving her but he did it, because when it came to his daughter, he became selfish, a man like him became selfish for you, imagine how much he might have loved you", Ranveer said and Isha cried...
"I didn't want such love bhai... not at the cost of another kid's life... I know baba might have thought Kaku sa would take her to the hospital but it was baba's responsibility to take her to the hospital, instead, he could have sent kaku sa to take me to the hospital... That's not his only mistake bhai... being ignorant of his brother's vile intentions was also his fault... Blindly trusting someone whom he has known from birth was his fault, for god sake that man had vile intentions for my mother and my father was ignorant about it ? How was it justified? If baba had known his(kailash) real face, all this wouldn't have happened, Advaita would have been alive, Rana sa wouldn't have lost his grandfather, sasur sa wouldn't be handicapped, Bhuvan wouldn't have died, our dadi sa would have been alive, more than anything, my ma-baba would have been alive bhai...", Isha said and tears made their way in both Isha's and Ranveer's eyes.
Ranveer understood her pain, Isha suffered the most from Amar, Pallavi, and Sanghvi Devi's deaths. All her pain, the tortures she bore, her nightmares, Madan's advances, her aunt and uncle's torture, and how she was made to lie to Ranveer about her well-being, all kept revolving in her head. Now that she got to know most of the past, she understood why her aunt hated her so much, especially her face. Isha looked a lot like her mother and Sheela hated Pallavi for having Kailash's attention always, though he never declared his admiration for Pallavi in front of Sheela, she understood in the way he looked at her, if not for the fear of Amar, he would have taken a step towards Pallavi and even that thought boiled Sheela and destroyed her marriage completely.
Sheela hated Isha and always made her look terrible but still Isha managed to look beautiful which didn't go well with her, she so wanted to burn her face but Kailash warned her to kill her if she attempted to do something like that to Isha, she also knew it was very risky as her son would personally show her the gates of hell if she did something to his lovely sister.
After Isha calmed down, both the brother-sister talked about how to disclose to Abhyansh.
"Now it proved that bhabhosa wasn't the one who planned Ranawat's destruction, he was misunderstood, how are we gonna convey this to Ranawat ? He will not listen to me, he will not let me speak a single word...", Ranveer said
"And I don't want to say anything to him... I don't know what to feel after all these revelations, I thought I could forgive him after knowing the past, but the reason why he was hating me wasn't all true... yes baba was at fault but not as Rana sa thought, baba was Advaita's culprit, but not anyone else's, Rana sa thinks baba destroyed his whole family, hid the truth about ma and Chirag's betrothal, intentionally brought Chirag Rathore to the Ranawats, planned the whole game with the other royals, killed Rana sa's grandfather, caused sasur sa's accident and handicapped him, planned multiple murder attempts on Rana sa, was the reason behind Bhuvan's death and the list goes on... The number of accusations Rana sa has on our baba was much more than the breaths I take every minute... Honestly, After knowing this, I am confused bhai... I don't want to see Rana sa... not any sooner...", Isha said wiping her tears but they kept falling.
"Ishu... I completely understand your emotions bacha, but you are stronger than this... We have the responsibility to clear bhabhosa's name since we now know the truth. That's what we should do as his children, this is what they strived to do till their last breath, even taking her last breath, all bhabho wanted was to clear her husband's name, so we should do it, and we should do it as early as possible", Ranveer said and Isha nodded... Her brother is right, as her parents' children, it's their responsibility to prove their parents' innocence, for now, she decided to keep her feelings aside.
"Bhai... Rana sa needs evidence, we just cannot say that Neil told us all this, he just wouldn't listen to us... we need something concrete, first of all, we need to know why Rana sa thought it was baba(Amar) that killed his grandfather and caused his father's accident ? And we need to know what happened to Advaita after Baba left from there", Isha asked
"Neil told me Kailash Rajput was a calligrapher and an impressionist, if he could write letters and pose like bhabhosa, why can't he sign a cheque like Bhabhosa, and for what happened to Advaita and who did those cruel things to her can only be told by Kailash Rajput, even Neil doesn't know", Ranveer said
"Might be possible, so we can start by saying this ?", Isha asked but Ranveer shook his head...
"No matter how good Kailash Rajput is, he couldn't copy bhabhosa's signature as he used a special molded character in his signature, and moreover, if Kailash Rajput also knew how to imitate bhabhosa's signature along with his handwriting, he could have written a letter posing to be bhabhosa accepting all the crimes, taking full responsibility of all the happenings, in fact, he could have created their deaths as a suicide instead of an accident, it would have cleared his path forever, but he didn't, because he couldn't imitate his brother's signature and even if he tried and then failed, the same letter would have acted against him, so he didn't do any such thing", Ranveer said
"Maybe he stole baba's checkbook which has signed cheques ?", Isha asked
"No, bhabhosa kept his checkbook very safely, even if Kailash Rajput managed to get his hands on the signed cheques, he wouldn't have encashed them without Bhabhosa's approval, I used to be with him a lot, I know how he operated, if he gave me a cheque, he used to contact the bank and give its serial number and my name, and only when both these match should the cheque be encashed, otherwise the amount would be blocked so that no cheques of his could be misused", Ranveer said
"Then how ?", Isha wondered and Ranveer shrugged...
"First we'll have to convince your husband to play a game with Kailash Rajput, only hearing it from his mouth could convince Ranawat of bhabhosa's innocence, Ishu", Ranveer said and Isha sighed, it's a huge task but they had no other option.
Isha and Ranveer reached the R Empire and they went to Abhyansh's floor as they knew he would explode like a mad bull hearing them, and talking to him in his first-floor cabin would be like inviting an audience to witness the raging beast. Ranveer took care of Isha while they were in the elevator but surprisingly she didn't feel the suffocation and breathlessness she felt every time in a confined space, there's still some discomfort but that is all. Ranveer smiled widely at the improvement...
"I so wanted to hug Dr. Parthasarathy tightly...", Ranveer said side hugging his sister...
"Eww... You sure you are straight ?", they heard Avyan's voice...
The Rajput siblings rolled their eyes at his comment...
"Hi bhabhi ma...", Avyan greeted her casually and Ranveer frowned...
"Weren't you surprised at how she managed to be on the elevator ?", Ranveer asked
"Oh! I already knew, she was getting better", Avyan answered and Ranveer glared at his sister...
"I forgot to tell you bhai... sorry", Isha said with an apologetic face...
"I'll see you later", Ranveer muttered before turning towards Avyan... "How is your brother's mood ?", he asked Avyan...
"Don't irritate him, I'm telling you, I have a meeting with him again in an hour, don't you dare ruin his mood and leave it on me to bear", Avyan warned but Ranveer as always ignored...
"Rate his mood, 1 being 'great' while 10 being 'worst'...", Isha asked Avyan...
"On a scale of 10 to 20", Ranveer added... Isha glared at her brother... "What ? You said 1 being 'great' and your husband's mood is never great, so started the scale from 10, Am I wrong ?", Ranveer justified... Isha ignored her brother and looked at Avyan for an answer who was confused on which scale to answer...
"15 on...", Avyan started but Ranveer cut him off...
"15 is better on a 10 - 20 scale, let's go Ishu...", Ranveer said and dragged his sister with him to Abhyansh's cabin...
"15 on 1 -20 scale", Avyan muttered to himself, he prayed for his bhabhi ma and her brother, before walking away from there...
----------------------------------------------------
"ARE YOU GUYS OUT OF YOUR MIND? I'M NOT PLAYING ANY SUCH GAMES WITH KAILASH RAJPUT, THAT BA***RD NEIL IS PLAYING GAMES WITH YOU PEOPLE... HE KNEW YOU GUYS BADLY WANTED TO PROVE AMAR RAJPUT INNOCENT, HE IS USING YOUR EMOTIONS TO GET HIS FREEDOM... BL**DY F***ING A**H*LE", Abhyansh screamed startling Isha and Ranveer... they expected anger but this much fury wasn't expected as Abhyansh completely stopped rising his tone in front of Isha let alone yelling or screaming...
"That idiot said 15...", Ranveer muttered to Isha..
"Might be on a 1-20 scale bhai... You didn't let him complete... you are so stupid", Isha whispered back, sticking to her brother...
"Rana sa... pl...please cooperate with us for this once", Isha mustered up her courage...
Ranveer asked Abhyansh to bribe Kailash Rajput with death and get the truth out, he detailed the whole game plan. Ranveer was aware of how badly and cruelly Kaiash Rajput was being treated, and during this time, people's brains stopped working in so much pain and agony, if Neil Singhania could be bribed with death, Kailash Rajput could be too, but they had to tweak it a bit. Kailash only trusted Abhyansh's words, as he knew Abhyansh always kept his word, so only if Abhyansh promised to leave him would he utter some truth. Ranveer wanted Abhyansh to play the game in a manner to know the truth but Abhyansh wasn't in favor of hearing all those horrible things again.
"No... Leave from here... I don't want to hurt you...", Abhyansh said glaring at his wife.
"I will, but hear me carefully, you will regret not giving me the benefit of the doubt, like all other things you are regretting to date... And don't expect forgiveness from me if you are not ready to face the other side of the coin...", Isha said sternly...
"Ishu...", Ranveer started
"No bhai... He wouldn't change his mind... and now, I'm done dealing with this adamant man", Isha said and walked away...
Ranveer gave a final look to Abhyansh who was shocked hearing his wife's words that too in front of Bhairav. She never spoke that way in front of him till now... Abhyansh banged the wall in fury startling Bhairav...
--------------------------------------------------
"I'm gonna sue Dr. Parthasarathy... I just couldn't control my anger, he is useless", Abhyansh muttered to himself... He destroyed his whole cabin, yet his anger didn't calm down...
Just then, he received Dr. Parthasarathy's call... Abhyansh so wanted to bang his head but waited patiently so that he could get to know the reason behind his wife's nightmares and then he could bang the old man's head with some strong metal that would make him forget his whole history.
Abhyansh was shocked to hear Isha's nightmares and according to Dr. Parthasarathy's analysis, if this was having such a deep effect, then there are more chances that this might have happened in real...
And if it was real, then Kailash Rajput might have killed Amar Rajput and Pallavi Rajput, why did he have to kill his own brother? Abhyansh knew Kailash was a greedy man, so he could have killed them for money and property, but why only at that time ? According to Nandini Rana, that day, Amar and Pallavi Rajput were driving towards Ranawat palace when they got into an accident.
Maybe Amar Rajput wasn't innocent but Kailash Rajput might have been included in Amar Rajput's plan to destroy them ? If that's the case, Abhyansh would finally get the chance to take revenge for his sister's and Bhuvan's deaths and everything that happened to them, he always regretted not killing Amar and Pallavi Rajput with his hands but this day, he got a chance but was he right in giving in ?
"Hukum... I think you should have agreed to Rani sa and Yuvraj Ranveer's request", Bhairav said, shocking Abhyansh. In all his life, Bhairav has never questioned Abhyansh's decisions, never ever. Abhyansh waited for him to give any particular reason for saying what he said... "I heard the first conversation of Neil Singhania and Yuvraj Ranveer... For a second, I felt like the pillar of truth we believed in all these years shaking... If there is really a part of the past we weren't aware of, then it needs an attempt from us for it to come out Maharaj... and I don't want to miss a chance that could reveal more culprits of my brother and Princess Advaita...", Bhairav said and Abhyansh sighed, he didn't want to agree but eventually gave in... Bhairav has the right to decide, he lost his brother for the Ranawat family, Bhuvan might be Abhyansh's best friend and a very important part of his life but for Bhairav he was his life and his only family so the least Abhyansh could do was respect Bhairav and his right to know the truth if there was any that they weren't aware of.
"Let's go to Kailash Rajput in the evening... Ask Rajput to meet me (Ranveer) there, I don't want Rani sa near Kailash Rajput, so ask him to keep her out of this", Abhyansh ordered, after receiving a bow from Bhairav, Abhyansh took his revolver and walked from there...
"Hukum...", Bhairav called, as he would want to accompany him but Abhyansh shook his head...
"Time to meet the dead soul", Abhyansh said and walked away, Bhairav sighed deeply as he didn't want Abhyansh to go there but he couldn't stop him either.
--------------------------------------------------------
"Bhai... please drop me near Ragini's place... I don't want to think about all this now, I want to divert myself...", Isha said and Ranveer nodded, dropping Isha there. As soon as Ranveer left from there, Isha sat in the convoy that was following her for her security and left for her destination. What if her husband wouldn't agree to it, she could play the game with Kailash Rajput and Sheela Rajput, thought Isha.
Isha asked her husband's men to bring Kailash and Sheela Rajput... They didn't think Isha could be able to see the horrible condition of the Rajput husband and wife but they didn't dare to deny the queen, so they followed her orders, but the head of the den called Bhairav as he didn't feel it was right to let Isha see Kailash and Sheela now, that too when the king wasn't there with her.
Bhairav was on his way following Abhyansh as he was concerned for his safety and when he received the call about Isha's demand to see Kailash and Sheela, he pressed brakes, took U-turn, and left to see Isha, he also informed Abhyansh and Ranveer on his way who quickly left to stop Isha.
Isha felt like throwing up looking at their condition, the pungent smell was forcing the bile up but she was trying to hold... She was thankful to the men who tried to conceal the wounds, ruptures, and cuts, and all other kinds of wounds and scars on Kailash's body but they were too many to be covered.
"How did you frame my baba ? How did you use his money when he has such tough bank policies ?", Isha asked directly...
Kailash didn't even have the energy to reply to her but she too was adamant...
"I know you killed my ma-baba, the nightmares I have been suffering all these years were actually the reality... and in return to what you did to my parents, I want to kill you, with my hands, only then will I be in peace, and I know you too want the same... Rana sa wouldn't let me kill you, he wouldn't even want your sight on me... so give me what I want, I'll give you what you want ", Isha negotiated.
"I...Will answ.er you... No.t be.cause I tr.ust yo.ur wor.d bu.t be.ca.use I ha.ve n.o cho.ice and i.f I'm get.ting the ch.ance t.o se.e yo.u crying for one last time, the.n wh.y not ? Yo.u yourself wal.ked here to g.e.t hurt by me huh...", Kailash said, Isha showed her palm which was keeping the security staff or the den staff or Abhyansh's men in check or else they would have taught Kailash a lesson by now...
Kailash tells Isha how Amar used to sign blank cheques and keep them for him in a secret place, about which no one knew, only Amar and Kailash knew about the blank cheques Amar signed for Kailash. Amar used to send the cheque codes to the bank official to allow the transfers if done by his brother.
"It's yo.ur fat.h.er wh.o ki.lled Uda.i Si.ngh R.anawat. .a.n.d han.dicap.ped Pr.atap Si.ngh Rana.wat, th.ose tw.o sins ar.e def.initely on his. he.ad bec.ause I used hi.s mon.ey, I use.d hi.s foolishn.ess to fun.d these two cr.imes, so yes, he w.as the rea.son, he wa.s th.e kill.er... H.e is th.e reas.on", Kailash told Isha, and looking at her breaking slowly, Kailash got a sadistic kick.
If Isha came till here searching for the truth, then Kailash expected Ranveer soon, and if his son arrives, he could negotiate his conditions better, if he hurts Isha so much that she breaks down, then there are chances maybe the beast himself would come to negotiate, so Kailash kept his options open...
Isha tried to handle the mental distress that was taking over her senses but she fought back...
"Yo.u are right... I kill.ed your parents... You want to know how I killed them ? Hm ?", Kailash asked... Isha looked at him with rage in her eyes...
