SS: Interpol (Part 31NEWWWW Pg. 53 Taj Mahal) - Page 33

Gosh I hope no one runs into any of the Chaturvedis except a giant truck 🤣

Lovely update❤️! Poor Imlie is not used to just the two them!

All Adi has to say is he met French lady and married her, why go into details if he is not living w his fam any more?

Love the pace & progression - feels so real. Can't wait to see what plans Adi has for Alex, how Alex reacts to PG, T's response to Imlie and Emmy and Alex..you've made it so interesting. Thanks so much!

Will Malini come back to this story in Delhi? Imlie's feeling that something will disrupt her joy is so palpable in your story & adds the real feels.

Part 24:

Aditya woke up the morning of their trip to Imlie watching him. She touched his lips lightly and traced over them.

Imlie: Did you know, you have the loveliest lips...I love the shape of them.

Aditya stretched lazily: You tell me all the time.

Imlie smacked him playfully: Bored already? We have been married barely a month.

Aditya pulled her to him playfully: No chance of th-(Emmy's cry pierced through the door).

Imlie: Oh dear, it's late. I didn't even prepare her bottle.

Aditya got up: I will go.

Imlie: No, it's okay. I will do it.

Aditya: Then, I will make her bottle...can't have her cranky today. First flight and all.

Imlie rushed: Are you sure we thought of everything?

Aditya: Earbuds, music, toys, essentials, candy for emergencies only, and every other kind of bribe to keep her quiet on the long haul flight. What else?

Imlie: I feel like we are forgetting something.

Aditya: If anything, we will get it at the airport. I will cross check an online list.

Imlie: Okay...

At the airport...

Emmy blew raspberries and stuck out her tongue when Imlie tried to give her a snack.

Imlie: Emmy, just have a few pieces, baby...look, mummy likes it too (she took a piece of the peach).

Emmy: No no no no.

Aditya picked her out of her carriage: You are getting naughty, little munchkin.

Emmy giggled: Hosey. Hosey!

Aditya put her on his shoulders: Where is Alex? He's not running late, is he?

Alex: I am here. Where is my little Emmy, I don't see her!

Emmy lunged for him: Ehhhh...

Alex, pretending: Where is she?

Aditya: I just saw her in the carriage a minute ago, where did she go?

Emmy: Ehhhh...Pa! Ehh...

Alex: There she is!!!

He picked her up from Aditya and gave her a piece of chocolate.

Imlie: Don't give her sugar just yet! I am trying to keep her calm for the journey.

Alex and Aditya: She will be fine.

Emmy wanted to go on the airhostess' lap when she sat across from them. She threw a tantrum. Imlie glared at Alex who tried to calm the baby with a toy. Aditya was seated next to Emmy's basinette and tried distracting her too. Imlie sat back in protest.

Imlie: Did I tell you not to give her sugar?

Alex: It was just one piece and she likes milk chocolate so much...

Aditya: I am sure it's just the excitement of the flight, not the chocolate.

Imlie: You both seem to be such experts. Why don't you handle her the rest of the flight?

After take-off, the gracious airhostess unfastened her seat belt and took Emmy for a walk down the aisle.

A black SUV came to pick Imlie up.

Aditya: What is this?

Imlie: I have to go get clearance before I can get out and about. I will drop you and Emmy off at the hotel with Alex.

Aditya, surprised: You can't stay with me at my place?

Imlie sighed: After clearance, we will see. For tonight, it has to be the hotel.

Aditya: Okay.

Alex: I will take care of them, don't worry.

Imlie looked at Aditya's sad expression: Why don't you go visit your brother while I am at work? Alex, can you keep Emmy until dinner?

Alex: Yes, no problem.

Imlie squeezed Aditya's hand: I will meet you at dinner.

Aditya knew he could not tell Nishant anything other than the fact that he was married. But he wanted to, so much.

Aditya: What if they guess?

Imlie: Then, we have to manage how we can. It won't be a problem, just more work. Try Plan A first.

Imlie came to Leela Palace at 8 pm and found them all sitting and waiting for her at dinner. Rupi Didi was there too.

Alex: All good?

Imlie was still shocked to see Rupi Didi there: I got 20 days.

Alex: Nice! That means you will have enough time for -

Imlie interrupted: Yes, yes. (She kissed Emmy on the lips in her high chair). Kaise he, Rupi Didi?

Aditya: Rupi Didi was at Nishant's. She didn't buy it for a second. Insisted on coming to see my wife.

Imlie sighed and wiped off tears as she and Rupi hugged.

Rupi: How can you stay away from me for so long, huh? Ek bar bhi yaad nehi ayi tujhe apni Didi ka?

Imlie: Haan, bohot yaad ayi. Lekin kya karte?

Rupi: What is this about? You think I would have believed for a second that he moved on without you? After ten years of seeing him pine for you?

Imlie: I admit, it wasn't a good plan. But I didn't want to go through all that again.

Rupi: I understand, if you don't want to meet the family, but Nishant and me? Didn't we always support you?

Imlie: It's more complicated than that, Rupi Didi.

Rupi: What is complicated?

Alex: So! Now that the reunion is done. Should we order dinner?

Rupi whispered to Imlie: Who is that? Aditya just introduced him by name.

Imlie: He works with me. Did you meet, Emmy?

Rupi smiled: Yes, she's adorable.

Imlie: I adopted her.

Rupi: You don't have to give me any explanations.

Imlie insisted: No, I really adopted her.

Rupi nodded: It wouldn't matter to me either way.

Alex, brightly: Let's order, I am starving.

Rupi sat next to Imlie and caught up with some of the basic details while Aditya looked on lovingly. Imlie just said she worked the French security forces which Alex backed up. Imlie fed the baby and Alex and Aditya kept each other company the rest of the dinner.

Rupi whispered: Are you here for work? Why is your colleague with you?

Imlie: He is the one who found Emmy, they share a great bond. He's really a very good friend and he wanted to see India. So Aditya invited him to come with us.

Rupi smiled: That's nice.

Alex closed in on Aditya: How old is your cousin, Aditya?

Aditya looked significantly at Alex: She's off limits.

Alex rolled his eyes: I know that. I am asking for other reasons.

Aditya narrowed his eyes: What other reasons?

Alex: I need to have a file on her.

Aditya, annoyed: Why? She doesn't even know. Leave her out of it.

Alex: She's very chummy with Emily and we can't risk it. I will have an NDA ready for her by the morning. Just in case.

Aditya: We won't tell her anything.

Imlie: What are you two talking about?

Aditya: Alex was saying he wants to go to Pakdandiya tomorrow.

Alex: I didn't say that!

Imlie, surprised: You are welcome, of course. Alex. But since when do you voluntarily go to remote places? You know it's not like this, right? We have barely any electricity or running hot water. But of course, you are most welcome if that is not too inconvenient.

Alex grimaced: I was thinking of doing the golden triangle while you two go to the village.

Imlie: You are of course welcome to join us, if you want. My mom will be happy to see you. She heard so much about you.

Rupi: Waah, you speak amazing English now, Imlie!

Alex: I would rather do the basic tourist stuff. It is my first time. You guys go to visit your parents. It should be a family thing anyway.

Imlie: But I don't want you to get taken advantage of here. There are so many tourist pitfalls.

Alex: I can handle myself!

Imlie wiped Emmy's hands which were grabbing handfuls of Imlie's dinner: No, you don't understand. It's not about safety alone.

Alex: Maybe Rupi here can give me company while you two are away. Be my guide, so to speak. It is just a few days, right?

Aditya glared at Alex.

Alex, under his breath: I will only ensure she does not know more.

Aditya: Make sure it's just that.

Imlie looked pleadingly at Rupi Didi: Will you, Rupi Didi?

Rupi politely: Of course, it's not a problem. Twinkle is off to college, so I have a lot of time off anyway.

Readership is down, so I will end this story soon.

Another beautifully written piece Mary. Thank you😊

It's going really well so far. Love to see this kind of life for them where one moment of happiness dosent tax down to days of negativity. This is the close to normal life and really love how you've been handling it so far, never forgetting the minute details like making sure all of their actions are done keeping in mind her career ( which is easy to forget when we write), the parallels drawn, using significant scenes etc.

Also, to bring in a complete closure to the chain of events, it was good to bring in Rupi and Nishant. They did deserve that much.

Please tell me you're setting up Alex and Rupi 😍

Always wanted someone for her.

Hadn't been able to comment since I used to read the updates when at college in the 3-4 mins break that we get 😅

Please don't stop it so soon.

Like always loved it❤️ayyyooo plz don't stop🥺my day starts with your story don't want my happiness to end soon😢I want to see their romance more without anybody's interference 🤩 Sending lots and pots of love your way🤗

No Mary

Please dont end the story soon. Want all open items to be closed. Closure for Sr T's acceptance of Mithi N SK. Also want C's and Malini to see Adilie happy together. Want Malini to also get closure

She should regret her actions and behavior

I am your biggest fan and make sure always to read your chapter all the time

I hope our makers also see it and incorporate some of this in the serial would be good 🥳👏

Hey Mary, thanks for the update. I think a lot of us are really liking your story, so do not wrap it up for the sake of it. I hope you allow the story to come to its logical conclusion. Many of them prefer to be silent readers throughout the forum, so while it may look like not many are commenting, most of us are keeping track of the story, so please do not get disheartened.

Baaki I hope you pair Rupi di with Alex - they both deserve a second chance and I think he will be good to her.

I too love his lips 😅

Emmy is too cute!😘

Adi and Alex 🤣 I love their bromance, wish to see more of it.

Imlie squeezing Adi's hand when he was sad is so real, I can easily imagine that happening and Imlie's expressions too, love that gesture!

Alex and Rupi? I guessed it when Adi said he had plans for Alex😂 they'll make a good pair.

Also please rope in Sundar if possible, Imlie used to tell him that she'll help him study when she gets a job. And I'm hoping that Sundar left the house after Imlie as there's no positivity left there.

I love how you kept even Rupi's life consistent - including Twinkle.

The story is really good, please don't stop. We're waiting for your update every morning! I'm sure there are many silent readers, please continue you can!

You are too good , I can’t stop reading.
