CHAPTER 1
Aryan Singh Rathore was tensed, he was unstable and then he went towards the statue of Mata Rani and praying in front of Mata Rani. He said,“Hi” and then continued, “Jiju ke baad se mene…….mene aap se kabhi baat nahi karihe, aaj bhi aapne liye nahi karunga.” (After jiju I never…..I never talked toyou about myself, today also I will not pray for myself). Then, he said,clearing his throat and almost as if he was gulping a big lump down his throat and started, “Paheli baat, aagar aaj Imlie ki jeet hui he, toh who itni hari huikyu baathi thi. Dusri baat, is jeet ke liye Imlie ko award me kya milene walahe. Aur, teesri baat……teesri baath udhar rahi.” (Firstly, if today Imlie won, then, why did she sat like she lost everything today. Secondly, what award will she get from this winning. And Thirdly……….. third one is a loan). That’s when Imlie entered, and Aryan was shocked when he turned around and saw Imlie. He shouted orders at the house helper, “Gopal, bring 2 hot towels, 2 dry towels and a bowl of water, right now.”
‘Really? These 2 people are more interesting than any living human of the world’, I chuckled. “ASR, who thought he never asked for anything, after he lost Arvind, was constantly praying to the god, for revenge, for destruction of AKT, as well as, someone he could hold onto, someone who could make him laugh in problem situations, someone who will always make his family laugh, someone who will always understand him, someone who will trust him, someone who will be beside him, some who will LOVE him. And, he thought he gave the third advice or rather question as loan. I can’t stop laughing. It was the thirdly word, that showed everythought of him, towards Imlie. He was trying to ask, if Imlie will come back to him?”
“Oh, poor child, why are you so nervous today?”, I sighed. “You were so confident in every work you did till now, and, you were so much confident on Imlie that shewill return, no matter how many miles she was away from you.” ‘OH, the door of the Mansion opened, See she returned, she came back to you. Why not accept it now, that you love…..LOVE her?’
Imlie was covered in mud, Aryan rushed towards her and asked her, “Yeh saab kya he Imlie? Yaha tak kaise aayi Tum?” (What is all this? How did you come here?) Imlie staired at Aryan and again Aryan asked, “Aare Kaise aayi ho pooch raha hu?”(I aked how did you come here?) And this time Imlie who was shaking from cold answered, “Chalke.”(Walking). And shocked Aryan made her sit on the couch while Imlie was trying to get up, now Aryan snapped, he shouted ordered her to numerous times sit and made her sit. Then, he started to cover her with towels and shouting to her, “Kya Delhi ki saare cabs aur autos kya strikes pe chale gaye the? Tumhara dimaag kya strike pe chali gayi thi? Meri kya tang toot gaya tha? Tum mujhe phone nahi kar saakti thi? Aare tumhe aakele aane ki kya zarurat thi? And blah blah blah.”(Did all the means of transport had gone to strike in Delhi? Did your brain go on a strike? Did my legs got broken? Were you not able to call me? Why did you come alone?) He was not stopping worrying and scolding her, as well as cleaning the mud from her with the hot towels.
‘OH, these two lovely children, they don’t even know how much they love each’, I thought with a smile in my face. ‘They worried and cared about each other so much, especially Aryan, I am waiting for this destined love story to unfold little by little’. But, wait, did I forgot something?...........mmmm……. ‘Did Imlie just say, she returned walking?’ “Really, she is so good at hiding her identity. She was back in a Genesis, but, she simply lied, she came back walking.’ I faced palmed myself, ‘OHMY GOD, what a human being you have created, it’s really amusing to watch her', and I can’t stop laughing from above.
Soon, nightfall over Earth in India, Imlie had a good chat with her Amma and went to sleep. And morning came, Aryan and Imlie were rushing for reaching the BT office, because before that Aryan went to Rathor Construction office, for some meeting. While Aryan was driving, Imlie non-stop told, “Aaj tumhar wajah se hum Daftar samai ma nahi pohoc sakat he.”(Today, I am going to be late at Office, because of you.) And, Aryan answered, “Koi late nahi hua, tumne pahale hi Mirchi bazaar ka do report, samai me submit kar diya he.” (You are not late, you have already submitted 2 Reports on Mirchi Bazaar) As the car came to stop in front of BT office, Imlie rushed to enter, when the watchman told her, “Kaha ja, kaha rahi ho Imlie Madam, entry toh karke jaiye, waha par aapna ek mast sa ek autograph de ke toh jaaiye. Pleaze.” (Where are you going Imlie Madam, please give your autograph on the entry register.) Pointing at the entry record book. Imlie walked back was about to sign, when she stopped Aryan, “Boss Babu, aap kaha jawat rahe he, koun aap ka entry karega. Yeh toh office ka niyam he na” (Boss, where are you going, who will do your entry? this is the office rule.) ,Aryan answered, “What? Mene ye niyam banaya.” (What? I made the rules.) And was ready to enter the office, when he saw Imlie shocked, and looked into the register and saw, Aditya Kumar Tripathi. He asked, “What Mr. Tripathi was doing in the office?” and was answered, “Aaj Aditya sir office aaye he. Aap ke liye wait kar rahe he.”(Today Aditya sir came to the office. He is waiting for you.)
‘OH My LORD, they were fighting one second, and next second shocked with the name of AKT. I am looking forward to see, what Aditya is upto. But God, did I just saw an angry and scared Aryan altogether’. I watched with my eyes widened with by eye brows raised. Aryan was thinking “How to Keep away Imlie from Aditya and throw him out.” And, on other side Imlie thought, “Why this damned man here, of all the places he could be? She can’t let that man spoil everything again, that she had got back after many trials. She can’t let her position be unstable in this situation. She can’t get riled up with this man and disappoint the head of the family again. She will keep as much far away from him”
Both Aryan and Imlie rushed inside, and saw Aditya surrounded by everyone in the office. After some asking, everyone came to know that, Aditya came to get back his job, looking towards Imlie. Imlie was uncomfortable the whole day, because, Aditya was sticking to her, following her and last, but, not the least proposing her to marry him again. Whereas, Aryan was uncomfortable in his cabin, knowing Mr. Tripathi was upto something, and sticking to Imlie. Aryan was loosing control to what should he do with Aditya, when Aditya entered his office, and Aryan placed him in the weather forecast department.
‘What? What is wrong with the brain of AKT? Is he an idiot?’, I chuckled at his antiques. Aryan was getting jealous and thinking of a hundred ways to beat him up and throwing him out. But, the person who caught my attention in this situation is, Imlie. When I saw her thoughts, the first thought, I saw was, after she entered the BT office, she took Aditya’s neck in her right hand and made in bow in front of everyone, then she increased the pressure of her hand on his neck, and banged his head to one of the office desk and started to beat him up, and continued till he lost conscious, and here her first thought ended. When Aditya was sticking to her, her second thought came to mind, and I saw, she wanted to take one of Aditya’s arm and broke it, then she was punching him in his stomach, till he fell down and blood coming out of his mouth. When Aditya was following her, her third thought surfaced in my mind, she thought she should first make him run and when he is out of breath, beat him up with belt, and give the other women’s of the office also, a chance to beat him up with belt. But, the one that made me laugh hard was her forth thought, when he proposed to Imlie again to marry him, and Imlie thought, “This man is a pain in head. He is married to one woman, and still wants to marry me. This hell of a man has no sense of responsibility. I will kill him slowly and with pain.” Images that then flashed were, she slowly, picking out one nail after another from his fingers and on the other hand beating him up and then spreading salt in his wounds.” Really, she was a tigress, hiding under cow's skin.
