She clenched her jaw and sighed when she saw him accepting the damn offer for 50 lacs “Calculator…definitely a calculator…” She thought while shooting draggers at him and immediately left the room to prepare herself mentally for the next drama.
The moment she left his office he face palmed himself, did he went too far with it, just yesterday she suffered so much but instead of keeping her away from them he is taking her back to them “God why was he such an ass” he thought. He could’ve canceled it but that would be going back on his words and Aryan Singh Rathore never goes back on his words “Damn you Tripathis…” he said it out loud exasperatedly.
They arrived at the dinner wearing formal dresses along with the necessary equipment. Aryan kept on eyeing Imlie now and then to check on how she was doing, while she was busy looking at her phone particularly looking at the picture of Satyakam to remind herself of her strength “Just get me through this today please God…” she sent out a silent prayer.
Soon enough after finalizing the pictures they were sitting across the Dining table with the great Babusaheb facing her and her dearest Malini didi ranting about the food, She was trying not to pay attention to anything so she started to look around for anything that might be fascinating enough to take her mind off, and then came the moment when Malini brought the plate of food and stood beside Aditya. Imlie glanced at him while he passed her a steely smile then asked Malini to feed him.
She felt a wave of disgust in the pit of her stomach and clenched her fists, and as malini was feeding him the morsel she looked away subconsciously to her left where her eyes landed on Aryan’s face who was busy looking at them.
And she wasn’t able to look away, to say it was the most hilarious thing in the world would be an understatement. He was looking at them the way you would look at an alien or weirdly enough the way she looked at him when he called her “cute”. His eyebrows crunched up, his face literal presentation of disgust, if the word “Eww” had a face that would be it.
A bubble of laughter erupted inside her but she controlled, she didn’t realize when she sneaked her phone of the table and was recording his expression hiding her cell beside table, and suddenly she saw him shudder and look away back at his laptop.
She stopped recording and kept her phone back on the table then wiped her face to remove that smiley expression that was dying to erupt on her face “Oh there is going to be so much fun…” she thought the devil in her brain started to run on a treadmill.
She sneaked her chair silently closer to his and leaning her face on her hand, she whispered to him “Aren’t you enjoying this Sir...you got yourself 50 lacs to see this so why are you looking away, you should look more closely…” She said biting her lip.
Aryan passed her his infamous deadly glare and looked back at his laptop. She bit back a smile “Aren’t they looking lovely dovey together you should take notes you knows “Pehli rasoi goals…”
His eyebrows twitched at her comment but he didn’t look up to see her, pretending to be busy and then picked the glass of water in front of him.
She continued “You know I have realized you like keeping the cost of everything considering the calculator that you are but I wonder if Malini didi would have come to us with the request of capturing there Suhagrat moments how much do you think you would have charged?”
Aryan choked on the water he was drinking when he heard the word Suhagrat and was coughing badly, his whole face red, Imlie who wanted to die laughing looking at his face stood up and faked concern “Aryan Sir you okay…”
Aditya and Malini both had confused look on their face “What the hell happened…”
Imlie started patting his back with so much force as if she was trying to wring all the water out of his lungs he had to hold her hands to stop her from beating him to death.
He glared at her clutching her wrist tightly still trying to control his cough and assured the couple he was fine. He then made her sit her wrist still clutched in his hand.
Aditya still eyed them suspiciously when Malini brought the kheer and told him to taste it as she made it especially for him and before he could say any word she started feeding him again.
Imlie nudged Aryan with the elbow of the same hand he was clutching as if telling him “Dekho, Dekho…”
He growled in a low tone “I didn’t ask 50 lacs for this cringe fest, heck I didn’t even know tripathi women are such Nibbi’s that they would put on such a show for the whole world about their true love and neither did I knew he was such a man child. No wonder you call him Babuuuuuusaheb…” He finished nearly mimicking her.
Imlie’s eyes widen hearing that and her whole face flushed red, Alarms rang in Aryan’s head “Did he just go over the board…”
Aditya looked at both of them staring at each other and grits out “Are ap log to kuch khaa hi nahi rahe…” but before he could complete Aryan cut him off in the middle “No thank you we aren’t hungry and I think we are done here, we have finalized the pictures you told us about and we will get back to you to confirm before publishing… Come Imlie...” he said in a hurried tone, picked his laptop in one hand and started to leave not realizing that his other hand is still clutching her wrist and as he was leaving like Rajhdhani express, she was being dragged along with him.
He came out of mansion when she withdraw her wrist out of his grasp and stood behind him looking down with her arm covering her face.
He was scared “was she crying…” he keeps the laptop on the hood of the car and calls her out softly “Imlie…”
No reply
He tries again “Imlie listen to me please…”
Still no reply
He then keeps his hand on her arm to move it away from her face “Imlie listen I’m so sor….” And he stops midway when she moves her arm from her face and cover her mouth with one hand trying to control her laughter, happy tears escaping from her eyes.
“What the Hell…this idiot has been laughing the whole time” he thinks “has she gone mad at the hand of trauma she suffered that she is laughing like maniac instead of crying…” he looks at her stupefied “What” he asks
She gulps trying to control her laughter “You said…” she laughs again then stops midway “You said Nibbi…” and again she guffaws this time sitting down on the stairs “Nibbi…” she snickers “You wanted to imply mele babu ne thana thaya…”and she chortles nearly lying down on the stairs holding her stomach “oh my face hurts…” and she laughs again.
Aryan who have been listening to her broken words and seeing her infectious laughter tries hard to control his grin but give ups and joins her grinning, and the way she was lying down on the stairs laughing while holding her stomach making weird sounds made him grin more.
“How do you even come up with that…” he asks still grinning.
“Those weren’t my words…” She speaks in between laughter “Your face…” she laughs “Your face while seeing them was Chef’s kiss…” She laughs again "Oh my true lub" and this time he couldn’t hold his laugh and joins her on the stairs sitting beside her.
“You are Unpredictable Imlie…” He says looking at her grinning.
“Says who ABP…” she laughs
“Jungli…” he replies grinning
She sticks her tongue out at him and laughs again and these were the “Rasoi Goals” he marked in his mind.
