Hi Friends,
This is my take on Aditya and Imlie's story. I have shared some initial build-up. If you guys like it, I would share the rest of it. Thanks in advance for giving it an opportunity.
*********************************************************
Aditya got forcefully married to Imlie in Pagdandiya. He unwillingly brought her to his home. He got engaged to Malini.
He was hurting Imlie on daily basis. Imlie was bearing all that with smile on her face. But she could not for some reason bear his engagement. She could not understand it, but something broke inside her seeing him becoming someone else’s. She decided to leave his house for good.
She left a letter to him saying that there is no logic in her being in his life, his house anymore so she is leaving. She told T family, that her mom is not well so she needs to return to Pagdandiya. They were all very sad to see her leave but they didn't stop her.
Aditya finally took a breath of relief after reading the letter. He didn’t even bother to check if she reached safely or not. He got busy with his life. He was happy. There was a kind of restlessness which he thought was because of his soon coming wedding.
One week before the wedding, Malini got a once in life time opportunity to travel to US for a year but she had to leave immediately. She discussed with Aditya and they both decided to put marriage on hold. Malini was really heartbroken with this decision but Aditya, being a good partner, assured her that everything would be same when she comes back and they would get married the day of her return. She left with this promise in her heart.
Strangely, Aditya didn’t feel anything about Malini leaving or his wedding getting cancelled. But as usual, he didn’t pay any attention to his feelings or lack of them.
6 months passed in jiffy. One day when he was just waking up, he heard commotion in his house. All T family members were gathered together and they were very excitedly looking at that day's copy of Bhaskar Times. He joined them and asked what the commotion was about. Rupi Di showed him the newspaper with big smile on her face. There, on 2nd page of the newspaper was Imlie’s photo. It was Imlie’s interview after she achieved 2nd rank in state level examination. Two things struck Aditya at once. One, he remembered how he had promised Imlie that he would be the first one to interview Imlie if she achieved something. He felt disappointed in himself that he lost that opportunity. Second, Imlie was wearing sindoor and mangalasutra in her photo. He wondered if she still considered that forceful wedding a truth.
