Chal Ghar Chalein
Sitting outside Tripathi House all dejected Imlie was lost in her deep thoughts. Finally… Finally she achieved what she wanted.. Truth of Malini Didi is now in front of Aditya and his family and all the records of her evil deeds are now in open. Her Family or should she say Aditya’s family has never doubted at her though and even after everything they still treated her as their daughter. But Aditya….. It was important for him to know the truth. Malini Didi with her evil plots and conspiracies was swaying Aditya away from his family. Aparna Ma even suffered Heart Attack due to that. But that doesn’t seem to bother Aditya anymore as he was adamant of leaving the house even after that. And that is the reason that she has to go out of her way to bring out Malini Didi’s real face in front of Aditya… And she did that successfully.
But now….. now what? Now where to go and what to do? From past many months she was obsessed with bringing Malini Didi’s real face in front of Babusahib and make Babusahib believe that she is not what he thinks of her and she succeeded also in that. But now what?
She got what she wanted yet she is not happy. Instead she felt…. empty… as if she don’t have anything inside her.. No feelings… no happiness… no hope… nothing. Perhaps past few months has drained her so much emotionally that now she is unable to feel anything. But why? That is the question which was bothering her the most. She should be happy that along with Malini Didi’s truth she has also cleared her name from all the accusations she has faced from Aditya. Then why she is not happy? Why she is still sitting over here like she won yet she has lost something.. Like she got everything yet nothing…Why??
“Imlie” She didn’t realized how long she was lost in her thoughts until she heard a familiar voice and no that voice does not belong to Aditya.. her once babusahib but to the person who stood by her side always.
That voice belongs to the person who was there for her even when he don’t even know her properly.. Who had believed on her when she herself have not believed on her… Who gave her strength, confidence and power to not only fight from the world but from her own fears.. Whose method seems to be strange yet it has shaped her as the person she is now.. Who always shouted at her, called her Jungli yet never left her hand in the crowd once… Who always stood like a rock between her and her miseries… Who is arrogant yet she knows has a soft side inside him. Her partner.. Her Akadbagga… Her ABP…. Her Ary… No just Aryan Singh Rathore…
Imlie turned to look at him and the look of dejection in her eyes pained his heart.. The look on her face resembled that of a child who has lost his way in the crowd and now he doesn’t know how to find a way back to his home. Somewhere he knows what she must be feeling right now. Past few months has been too much for her and now after knowing her whole story inside he realized what all she has gone through since last 1 year and 2 months. Of course, it would have taken a toll on her. He can’t even imagine what all she would have gone through. This 19 years old girl who has impressed her since their first encounter, though he never accepted that, doesn’t deserve all this at the first place.. Not at all.
The world even her own so called sister and husband no cut that good for nothing ex husband has hurled so many accusations on her and why to go far he himself was rude to her at times, though for her own good, but he was, yet she never stopped smiling… She smiled and kept everyone happy around her… even though she was breaking inside.. Yes he asked her not to cry for same reason again and again, chided her every time when she cried for her ex husband even after her resolution of never to cry again for him, but inside he knew that it was not easy for her. She was just a 19 year old girl after all who had seen so much at such a young age. And who knows that better than him that how circumstances changes you completely as a person.
But even after all that this 19 year old girl has inspired him the ways no one can imagine. His sister says that Imlie his changing him, his mother says that they are getting the glimpse of their old Aru who use to smile and play, and no matter how much he denies this fact in front of them but deep inside he knew that they are right. Imlie is changing him and bringing out that old Aryan which has somewhere lost behind this tough exterior of Aryan Singh Rathore and no matter how much he deny this fact but deep down he knows that this is the truth.
He is definitely changing or else how would he explain his trip to Pagdandiya with her just to make sure that she doesn’t gets into any danger or to make sure that she is fine even when his whole body was burning with fever or to purchase a 5 crore house on her name so that Malini can never succeed in keeping away from Tripathi family or to be her partner in her act if bringing out Malini’s real face in front of family. No matter how much he hates Aditya Kumar Tripathi after what he has done to his family and had never bonded well with Tripathi Family but Imlie loves them and he was ready to do anything which can give her aching heart a little sukoon. Yes he had always maintain a tough exterior in front of her and never showed his soft side to her but that is because he always wanted the best for her and never wanted her to face all that what he had faced in his life because of Aditya Kumar Tripathi. But such a stubborn his Jungli is that she never listens to him.
His Jungli… an almost invisible smile came on his lips when this thought came in his mind. Is he falling for her? He don’t know yet but he knows he was scared at the moment when he thought that Imlie lost her life after falling down from terrace as he thought that he had lost her forever. He knows that his blood boiled every time someone hurled accusations or try to malign her image. He knows that every time his heart pained seeing tears in her eyes. Only he knows how he has controlled himself to not punch Aditya Kumar Tripathi on his face when he was throwing Imlie out of the house after Malini pushed her away. Only he knows how much restless he was when he was when he had that feeling that Imlie is in danger and there she was lying unconscious under the effect of poisonous gas. Till now he had only cared this much for his mother and sister and now there is one more addition to that – His Jungli… Imlie…. If all this accounts to be in love then maybe he is but he is still not ready to accept it yet.
“Aapko Kuch Kahe ka Hai Aryan Sir?” Seeing Aryan looking intently at her and not saying anything made Imlie a bit restless and hence she asked him.
[Do you want to say something, Aryan Sir?]
“Hhmmm… Ghar Chalo Imlie..” Imlie’s voice broke his reverie and he said to her in his baritone voice.
[Hhmmm... Let's Go Home Imlie...]
“Ghar?” Imlie looked clueless at him probably yet not able to process what he said.
[Home?]
“Haan Imlie.. Apne Ghar.” Aryan said to her and Aryan’s words took her off guard for a moment.
[Yes Imlie... Your Home]
Apna Ghar? Does she have one and that too which she can call as her own? She looked at Tripathi that Akadbagga has bought on her name; the house where she was once treated as Servant because her ex husband did not have guts to say the truth in front of his family, that house is now on her name. But can she really call that house as hers? No matter how much bonded she is with the family butdoes that mean that this house is also hers?
And then there is that house where she lives as PG… Where her Kaki Ma and Arpita Didi dotes their life on her… Where her ABP bears all her nonsense antics with all the irritation and yet never asks her to leave his house.. Where she felt loved.. Where she felt valued.. Where she felt important.. Where she felt free.. But Is Aryan’s house is her home?
And if both homes are not hers then where is her home? Where is her destination? Where is that place that can give her peace and sense of security?
“Imlie…” Once again she heard a familiar voice but surprisingly this voice does not belong to her Akadbagga but to the person whom once she considered her everything – Aditya, her babusahib..no not hers.. not anymore..
“Humein tumse kuch baat karni hai Imlie.” Aditya’s remorseful voice rang in her ears and she looked at him only to find him sitting on his knees with tears of remorse in his eyes and then she stood up and looked back at Aryan who was standing there looking at both of them. His face was as usual devoid of any emotion but this time she noticed something in his eyes which she was not able to notice before.
[I need to talk to you, Imlie.]
It seems like both her past and future are there at the same time and she being the present has to choose to whether she still wants to live in the past or move forward towards her future.
“Imlie I… Mujhe lagta hai ki tum dono ko aapas mein kaafi baatein karni hongi.. Main Car mein tumhara wait kar raha hoon.. Take Your Time…” Noticing Imlie’s gaze on him Aryan wanted to stop her from listening to Aditya and falling in yet another emotional trap of his but then he looked at Aditya’s remorseful face he realized that probably it’s best if he left both of them alone and let Imlie decides what she wanted in her life.
[Imlie I... I guess you both need to talk about lot of things together.... I am waiting for you in the car... Take Your Time...]
No matter how much he hates the man who is the main reason for all the miseries of his Jungli but he knows that he deserves a chance to explain himself.. Imlie owe an explanation from him.. Of course, he will be there to save Imlie if she will fall in any kind of emotional trap of Aditya Kumar Tripathi but he will not control her life like once Aditya Did.
And hence he turned around and was ready to go from there when all of a sudden he stopped in his steps as he felt someone holding his hand softly yet firmly and turning around he saw Imlie holding his hand and stopping him from going while her eyes fixed at Aditya. Just like he did once when they returned from Pagdandiya.
“Aap kahin nahi jaaenge Aryan Sir…Aditya Sir ko jo bhi kehna hai wo aapke saamne kehna hoga.” Imlie’s firm voice has shocked not only Aryan but also Aditya who first looked at Imlie and thenher hold at Aryan’s hand.
[You are not going anywhere Aryan Sir... Whatever Aditya Sir has to say, he needs to say that in front of you]
“Imlie Humein tumse akele me kuch baat karni hai. Ye Humara Personal matter hai aur Mr. Rathore ka isme koi kaam nahihai.” Imlie chuckled at Aditya’s choice of words and her strange behavior made Aditya more confused.
[Imlie I need to talk to you alone.. This is our Personal Matter and Mr. Rathore has nothing to do with that]
“Personal? sach me? Aap hi kahe the na ki humare beech ab kuch bhi personal nahi raha hai jab aapne newspaper me humaare aur Aryan sir ke bare me….” Imlie closed her eyes as she remembered the humiliations she faced after that.
[Personal? Really? You were the one who said that now nothing remains personal between us when you have published all that in the newspaper about me and Aryan Sir....]
“Us samay aapko ye ehsaas nahi hua tha ki ye Humaara Personal matter hai jab aap sare aam humare charitra par daag lagaae the? Fir aaj humaare beech sab Personal kaise ho gaya.” Though Imlie said all this with a tinge of anger but only Aryan knows how much in pain she is as she relived all those moments when all the questioning gazes on her.
[That Time you didn't realized that this is our personal matter when you were tainting my character publically? Then how come now everything became personal between us?]
“Hum mante hain ki humse galti hui hai Imlie.. Malini ne humaari aankhon me galatfehmi ki aisi patti baandh di thi ki uske aage hum kuch dekh hi nahi paa rahe the.. humne tumhaara bahut dil dukhaaya hai Imlie aur uske liye hum tumse jitni maafi maange wo kam hai. Tum hume bhale hi maaf mat karo… hume saza do… par kam se kam humein humaari baat kehne ka mauka to do.” Tears flowed down from Aditya’s eyes as he realized what sin he has committed when he has doubted on her character. But the damage has been done and he can do nothing than to regret.
[I know I did wrong Imlie... I was so blinded by the misunderstandings created by Malini that I couldn't see the truth.. I know I have hurt you a lot and no amount of my sorry will compensate that... It's ok if you don't want to forgive me... punish me then... But at least give me a chance to explain myself once]
“Aap diye the hum ko mauka jab hum cheekh cheekh kar apni begunaahi bata rahe the? Aap diye the hum ko mauka jab hum ye kahe rahe ki humaare aur Aryan Sir ke beech me kuch nahi hai aur wo bas humaare maargdarshak humaare boss hain? Humne Aapko samjhaane ki kitni baar koshish kari ki Malini Didi galat hai aur wo aapko humse door kar rahi hain.. Par aapne humaari ek nahi suni aur poore parivar ke saamne poore daftar ke saamne poori duniya ke saamne aapne hum par keechad uchaala hai… ek baar nahi do baar nahi baar baar jab bhi hum is ghar ki dehleez par aaye aapne humaari beizzati kar ke hume ghar se nikaal diya. Har baar hume ye ehsaas karaya ki humara is ghar se koi rishta nahi hai. Phir aaj hum kyu aapko koi bhi mauka de? Aap jaiye apni dost ke paas. kya pata divorce waali baat ki tarah is baar bhi wo aapko kuch aisa bata de ki ek bar fir se aap unhi ki baat par bharosa kar le aur ek baar fir aapki nazron me Imlie galat ho jaae. Aapko pata hai aaj tak humein lagta tha ki humare aur aapke beech ki dooriyon ki wajah Malini Didi hain lekin aaj humein ehsaas ho raha hai ki wo wajah Malini Didi nahi balki aap khud the.. Aapne kabhi hum par vishwaas kiya hi nahi kyonki agar kiya hota to aap kabhi bhi Malini Didi ki baaton me aaye hi na hote.” Imlie’s voice cracked as she said all that and at that moment all Aryan wants to hold her in his arms in order to sooth her.
[Did you gave me a chance when I was crying out loud that I am innocent? Did you gave me a chance when I told you that there is nothing between me and Aryan Sir and that he is just my boss, my mentor? How many times I tried to convince you that Malini Didi is wrong and that she is creating distance between us... But you didn't listen to me once and in front of whole family, in front of whole office, in front of whole world you have humiliated me... Not once not twice but every time I came to the threshold of this house, all you did was to insult me and thrown me out of this house... Every time you made me feel that I don't have any relation with the family members of this house. Then Why should I give you any chance today? Please go back to your friend. Who knows just like the divorce matter she will again say something that convinces you after which once again you will start trusting her and once again Imlie becomes wrong in your view. You know till date I use to feel that Malini Didi is the reason of rift between us, but today I realized that Malini Didi was never the reason.. It was you.. always you.. You have never trusted me because if you had then you wouldn't have trusted on Malini Didi's words.]
But does he really have that right? The question rang in his mind of which he has no answer and hence he stayed in his place mum looking at Imlie and Aditya.
“Hum jaante hai humne gunaah kiya hai Imlie. Hume pata hi nahi chala ki apni galatfehmi ki aag me hum kab itna jal gaye ki humne us Aditya ko hi maar diya jisse tumne pyaar kiya tha. Please Imlie tum humein maaf bhale hi mat karo par kam se kam humein saza hi de do.. Hum is bojh ke saath jee nahi paayenge ki humaare haatho tumhaare vishwas, tumhaare pyaar ka khoon hua hai.. Tum naraaz ho na Humse to lo humein maaro.. Humaari Jaan lelo lekin please humse aise munh mat modo.” Aditya took Imlie’s hand in his and started hitting his face with her hand. At this moment Aryan just balled his fist as he looked other side while gulping his saliva in anger.
[I know I committed a sin Imlie.. I didn't even realized that when I got so burned in the fire of misunderstandings that I killed that Aditya whom you loved. Please Imlie if you don't want to forgive me then don't do that but at least punish me... I cannot live with the burden that I murdered your trust, your love from my own bare hands... You are mad at me right.. then here hit me... hit me until I die but please don't turn your back on me..]
He can’t bear to see that man touching his pure Jungli. But at that moment he was not sure whether he has this right to interfere between the two. After all, who is he other than an outsider in their relationship? Aditya has accused Imlie for infidelity due to him only and he doesn’t want to make things worse for Imlie anymore.
“Humka haath mat lagaiye kyonki ab aap humein choone ka har haq kho chuke hain.” To Aryan’s surprise Imlie herself pulled away her hand from Aditya’s hand creating a little distance between them as if Aditya’s presence was enough to suffocate her startling Aditya as he got up from his knees looking at Imlie shocked.
[Don't touch me because now you have no right to touch me anymore.]
“Imlie ye tum kya keh rahi ho? Hum tumhare babusahib…."
[What are you saying, Imlie? I am your Babusahib...]
“Aap humaare kuch nahi hai… Haan ek waqt tha jab aap humaari poori duniya the… aapke alaawa hume kabhi kuch dikhta hi nahi tha.. yahan tak ki hum khud bhi apne aap ko nahi dekhte the. Arey humaari to poori duniya hi aapke ird gird ghumti thi. Gaanv se hain na aur isilie zabardasti ki shaadi hi sahi par hum use apna sab kuch maan baithe aur shayad wahi humaari galti thi. Kya nahi kiye hum aapke lie.. Paaglon ki tarah aapke peeche bhaagte rahe.. Ye jaante hue bhi ki Pagdandiya ke haalaat kitne kharaab hai, hum aapki khaatir wahan taka aye sirf aapko bachaane… Aur ye insaan…” Imlie pointed at Aryan standing behind her…
[You are nothing to me.. Yes there was a time when you use to be my whole world... Apart from you I was not able to see anything at all.. In fact I couldn't even see myself.. My whole world use to revolve around you only.. The thing is that I am from village and no matter if it is a forced marriage but I accepted that with whole of my heart and probably that was the mistake I committed... What didn't I do for you... I kept running after you like crazy.. Even after knowing how bad conditions are there at Pagdandiya, I came over there for you, only to save you.. And this man.....]
“Ye insaan jise aap chilla chilla karhumara boyfriend batate aaye hain, ye humein samjhaata raha.. kabhi daant ke, kabhi pyaar se ki hum baar baar aapki taraf laut kar kitni badi galti kar rahe hain lekin humne is insaan ki bhi ek nahi suni.. Aapke pyaar me hum itna paagal the ki humein ye dikha hi nahi ki hum us insaan ko nazarandaaz kar rahe hain jo humesha humaare saath khada raha… Humare peeche peeche Pagdandiya aa gaya taaki humaari jaan ko koi khatra na ho.. Bukhaar me shareer tap raha tha lekin fir bhi apni takleef bataye bina humaare saath us toofaani raat me aapko dhundhne nikal pada sirf islie taaki hum akele na pade.. taaki hum par koi musibat na aa jaae… hum jab bhi gire is insaan se hume sambhala.. humaare akele hone par humara haath thaam kar humein ye ehsaas karaya ki is duniya ki bheed me Imlie akeli nahi hai jabki humaare khud ke pati ne duniya ki is bheed me humein akela chod diya tha.. apni kadvi baaton se hi sahi par aapke diye gaye har zakhm par inhone marham lagaya.. Par hume wo sab kuch nahi dikha.. dikhe to sirf aap.... Lekin Aap to kahin the hi nahi Aditya Sir… Jitni baar humne sochna ki aap hum par koi aur ghatiya ilzaam nahi laga sakte utni hi baar aapne humaari soch ko galat saabit kiya.. Hum maante hain galatfehmi ho jaati lekin har baar.. har baar kaise aapne humko galat samjh liya? Aur Aisa kaise Aditya Sir ki humesha aapke lie Malini Didi sahi thi aur hum galat? Lekin fir bhi har baar.. har baar humne aapko maaf kiya.. lekin is baar nahi.. Is baar aapko dene ke lie humaare paas kuch bhi nahi hai kyonki jo chot aapne humaare aatm samman ko di hai uske baad aap na to humaari maafi ke laayak hain aur na saza ke..” Imlie’s whole body was shaking as tears flowed from her eyes while Aditya stood there shocked listening to her.
[This man whom you have been announcing out loud as my boyfriend, this man kept on telling me, sometimes by scolding me, sometimes softly, but every time he kept on advising me that how much big mistake I am committing by going back to you every time, but I haven't listened to him once.. I was so crazy in your love that I didn't even realized that I am ignoring that person who was there by my side all the time... Who came to Pagdandiya after me so that my life won't be in danger... His whole body was burning with fever but still without telling about his bad condition he accompanied me on that stormy night to search you so that I won't feel alone.. so that I don't land myself in any kind of trouble.. Whenever I had fallen he was the one to hold me... Whenever I felt alone he held my hand and made me realize that Imlie is not alone in this world, when my own husband has left me alone to face this world.. No matter how harsh his words were but those words has acted as a balm on the wounds given by you... But I couldn't see all that.... All I could see was you... But you were never there Aditya Sir... Whenever I thought that you will not accuse me with something worse than the previous accusation, every time you proved me wrong... I agree misunderstandings happen but every time... how come every time you misunderstood me? How come every time it was Malini Didi who was right according to you and I become wrong Aditya Sir? But still every time... every time I had forgiven you.. but not this time... This time I don't have anything to give you because the wound which you have given to my self-respect after that you neither deserve my forgiveness nor my punishment...]
“Hum Jaante hain ki hum jo bhi kar le par tumhare toote dil aur vishwaas ko nahi jod paaenge.. Hume humesha lagta tha ki humaare aur tumhaare beech Mr. Rathore aaye hain par aaj hume ehsaas hua ki hum kitna zyada galat the.. Humaare beech Mr. Rathore nahi balki humaara khud ka ego aaya tha.. Humein humesha se lagta tha ki humaare alaawa tumhari zindagi mekoi zaroori hai hi nahi aur shayad isilie jab humne tumhe Mr. Rathore ke saath dekha to humse bardaasht nahi hua aur humne wo sab….. par ab humein humaari galtiyon ka ehsaas ho gaya hai Imlie.. Hum waada karte hain ki hum sab theek kar denge. Tumhe humein Saza nahi deni hai na do, maafi nahi deni hai mat do, lekin ek mauka to do tumhare zakhmo ko bharne ka, ek mauka to do humein apni galtiyon ka prayashchit karne ka.. Ghar chalo Imlie.. Apne Ghar.. Humaare Ghar…” Aditya literally begged in front of Imlie as tears of remorse flowed down from his eyes while Aryan looked first at Aditya and then at Imlie trying to gauge what’s in her mind.
[I know Imlie that no matter what I do but I cannot mend your broked heart and trust.. I have always thought that it was Mr. Rathore who had came between me and you but today I realized how wrong I was.. It was not Mr. Rathore who has came between us but my own ego... I have always thought apart from me there is nothing else important in your life and probably this is the reason that when I saw you with Mr. Rathore then I couldn't bear it and I did all that...... but now I realized my mistake Imlie... I promise that I will make everything all right... You don't want to punish me then don't, You don't want to forgive me then don't, but at least give me a chance to heal your wounds, at least hive me a chance to atone my mistakes... Let's Go home Imlie... Your Home... Our Home...]
Somewhere he was scared what if Imlie really goes with Aditya back to Tripathi house. After all, that house belongs to her both legally and emotionally. That is the reason she always comes back at the slightest pain of Tripathi’s even after all the humiliation she faced every time she visited here. He was scared that Imlie will fall for the trap again.. He was scared to lose her…..
“Wo humaara ghar nahi hai Aditya Sir…” But next moment Imlie’s shocked once again not only him but to Aditya as well who was standing there as if someone has sucked his soul out of him..
[That home is not mine Aditya Sir...]
“Ye kaisi baatein kar rahi ho tum Imlie? Wo ghar tumhaara kaise nahi hai? Aaj se pehle hum jab bhi tumhe is ghar me aane se mana karte the har baar tum ye keh kar aati thi ki ye ghar tumhaara hai ye parivaar tumhaara hai… Aur aaj tum keh rahi ho ki ye ghar tumhaara nahi hai? iska matlab maa papa baaki ke poore parivaar ko bhi tum apna nahi maanti Imlie?” Aditya looked at Imlie shocked and a chuckled escaped Imlie at Aditya’s choice of words.
[What are you talking about Imlie? How come that home is not yours? Before this whenever I asked you to not to come to this home, you still came by saying that this home is yours, this family is yours... And today you are saying that this home s not yours? That means you don't consider Maa, Papa and rest of the family members also as your own Imlie?]
“Ek baar fir… ek baar fir aapne humein aur humaari baaton ka galat matlab hi nikaala… Humne kaha ki wo ghar humaara nahi hai lekin wo parivaar humaara tha, humara hai aur humesha rahega kyonki jab humaare apne pati ko hum par vishwaas nahi hua tha aur hum toot gaye the tab isi parivaar ne humein sambhaale rakha tha aur hum par se apna vishwaas nahi khoya tha.. Aur isilie aapki itni kadwi baaton aur aapke aur Malini Didi ke haathon itni baar beizzat hone ke baad bhi hum baar baar yahan aate rahe..Aapke lie nahi balki apne parivaar ke lie.. islie ye parivaar humesha humaara hi rahega lekin ye ghar na to kal humaara tha aur na hi aaj hai…” Though tears were flowing from Imlie’s eyes but her voice was firm and that surprised Aryan as he has never expected this from Imlie
[Once again... Once again you misunderstood me and my words... I said that home is not mine but that family was, is and will forever be my family because when my own husband didn't trusted me and I was broken then it was this family only who had hold me in my tough time and had never lost their trust on me for even once.. And that is the reason that even after all your harsh words and even after getting multiple times insulted by you and Malini Didi I kept on coming over here every time.. Not for you but for my family... And that is the reason that this family will always be mine.. But this home was not mine, neither yesterday nor today...]
“Imlie tum ye…..” Aditya didn’t know what to say further as Imlie’s answer rendered him speechless. He had never expected that Imlie will turn down his offer like this.
[Imlie you.....]
“Aapko kahin ye galatfehmi to nahi ho gayi na Aditya Sir ki hum Malini Didi kii sacchai islie aapke saamne le kar aaye kyonki hum is ghar me waapas aana chahte the aur aapke aur apne rishte ko ek baar fir se shuru karna chahte the? Agar aapko aisa lagta hai to ek baar fir se aapne humein galat samjha hai kyonki humne ye sab kuch aapke lie nahi kiya balki apne parivaar ke lie kiya tha… Apni maa ko uska beta waapas lautaane ke lie kiya tha… Aap Humaare baare me jo bhi soche usse humein fark nahi padta lekin apne parivaar ki aankhon me hum aansu nahi dekh sakte the aur isilie hum Malini Didi ki sacchai sabke saamne lekar aaye the. Us parivaar ke lie jis parivaar ne hume bahut pyaar diya, bahut izzat di aur isilie ye humaara farz tha ki hum is parivaar par lagi har buri nazar ko humesha humesha ke lie hata de… Is parivaar ka beta use lauta de taaki koi bhi fir use is parivaar se door na kar sake. Apna Dadda ke lie kiya taaki wo us gunaah ki saza aur na kaate jo unhone kiya hi nahi... Aapke saath to humaare rishte ka antim sanskaar usi din ho gaya tha jis din aapne humare pyaar ko soot samet humein lauta diya tha.. Lekin humaare parivaar ke saath aur humaare dadda ke saath humaara rishta aaj bhi hai aur usi rishte ke khaatir humne humaara farz nibhaaya hai. Lekin ab humaara kaam poora ho gaya.. Hum jo chahte the wo humein mil gaya hai.. Humaare parivaar ko uska beta waapas mil gaya hai… Aur Humaari Amma ko unka pati wapas mil jaaega.. Islie ab humaare upar na to koi farz hai.. na karz.. aur na hi...” Imlie took a pause and Aditya looked at her dazed not knowing what she wanted to say further.
[I hope you are not misunderstanding Aditya Sir that the reason I exposed Malini Didi's deeds in front of you so that I can back to this house and want to give our relationship another chance? If you are feeling like this then once again you misunderstood me because I haven't done all this for you but for my family... I did all this so that I could return my mother his son.. I don't care what you think about me but I cannot bear to see the tears in the eyes of my family and that is the reason I exposed Malini Didi's deeds in front of everyone.. For the family who has given me so much love, so much respect and that is the reason that it was my duty to get rid of all the evil eyes on my family for forever... To return the family their son so that no one can snatch him from them in future. I did this for my Dadda so that he should not bear punishment of the sin that he has not even committed anymore... My relationship with you had taken it's last breath when you have returned my love with full interest.. But I still have relationship with my family and my dadda alive and for the sake of that relation only I fulfilled my duty. But now my job is done... I got what I wanted.. My family got back their son.. And my Amma will get back her husband... And that is the reason that now I don't have any duty.. I don't have any debt... And I don't have any......]
“Aur na hi?” Aditya asked puzzled.
[And I don't have any?]
“Ye Teesri baat udhaar rahi.” Imlie’ schoice of words shocked both Aryan and Aditya but Aryan more as he never expected Imlie to be this strong when taking decision regarding Tripathi’s. However that’s a different thing that a small smile adorned his lips hearing Imlie saying his words.
[Let's keep this third thing for another time....]
He had always called her weak whenever she runs back to Tripathi’s at their slightest of pain but today he realized how wrong he was. She was never weak it was just her love for Tripathi’s and not Aditya Kumar Tripathi that always makes her run towards Tripathi House.
“Aap humse saza maang rahe the ne Aditya Sir… To Aapki Saza yahi hai ki aap saari zindagi isi baat ka pachtaawa karte rahein ki kyon us samy aapne humaari baat par bharosa na kar ke Malini Didi ki baaton par bharosa kiya.. Aur Aaj sahi maayno me hum Aapki chaukhat se Imlie from Pagdandiya ban kar jaa rahe hain. Wo Imlie jise na to ab aapki fikr hai aur na hi zarurat.. Jo ab apna raasta khud chunegi aur usi chune hue raaste par hi chalegi.. Us insaan ke saath jisne kabhi uski udaan ko baandhne ki koshish nahi kari balki use pankh diye taaki wo aur uncha ud sake. Chalte hain. Jai Seeta Maiyya Ki…” Imlie turned and looked at Aryan who was looking at her speechless.
[You were asking to give you punishment Aditya Sir, right?.. Then your punishment is that you keep on regretting on the fact for your entire like that why at that time instead of believing me you have chosen to believe on Malini Didi's words... And today I am leaving from your door as Imlie from Pagdandiya in true sense... That Imlie who neither care for you nor needs you.... That Imlie who will now choose her own way and will continue walking on her chosen way only... with that person who has never tried to hold back instead pushed her forward so that she can reach the heights and touch the sky with glory... I take your Leave Now... Jai Seeta Maiyya Ki...]
All this while Aryan was just a mute spectator of all the confrontation between Aditya and Imlie. Though he has asked Imlie to take her time in order to resolve her issues with Aditya but he would be lying if he will say that he was not scared thinking that what if Imlie chooses to stay with Aditya once again. But Imlie’s stand towards this whole situation has not only surprised him but gave him happiness as well and made him to respect her even more. This 19 year old girl has chosen her self-respect above love. Though little late but she finally understood what is more important to her and that made him proud of her. But that made him happy as well as his greedy heart rejoiced on the fact that Imlie had chosen him over Aditya. Though that’s a different thing that he will never accept that in his conscious mind.
And as for Imlie she never realized that when while confronting Aditya she got the answers of the questions which was bothering her few minutes back. Few minutes back she didn’t knew where to go now or what to do after this. But now she knows… she knows what her destination is and who is going to be her companion in her journey towards that destination. She may never love anyone again in her life but she knows she has a friend now on whom she can trust blindly and who will not leave her hand ever. And whenever she will fall weak in her resolve that Ajeeb Bikat Praani will be there to boost her confidence with his strange antics.. She knows where her future lies…
“Ghar chalein ABP?” after taking baby steps towards Aryan and closing distance between them Imlie asked the same question that Aryan has asked her few minutes back. The only difference is this time Imlie was not blank like before but she had smile on her face.
[Shall we go home ABP?]
“Ghar?” Strangely, Aryan was so dazed right now that he didn't realized that he repeated the same question that Imlie repeated few minutes back as he looked at her eyes one after another.
[Home?]
“Haan Mr Phast Phorward.. Apne Ghar…” Imlie’s words brought a rare smile on Aryan’s face that is hardly visible to anyone outside his family and now Imlie is also a part of that family.
[Yes Mr Phast Phorward... Our home...]
And with the same smile on his face that reflected in his eyes as well Aryan holds Imlie’s hand in his as they walked towards their car. Imlie looked at Aryans’s back and realized how naive she was that she never realized that she is losing Diamond in search of gold. He was always like this, always held her hand as if she is his priceless possession and she never realized that in front of her obsession of saving Aditya and Tripathis.. But now as the mist cleared she is able to see everything clearly and hence she will not lost her way ever.. She finally found her home.. She finally found the person where she can feel home… Now there will be no more babusaheb and Tripathis.. Now it will be just her and her Ajeeb Bikat Praani…her Akadbagga…
She is finally Home.......
Aditya fall on his knees as he looked Aryan and Imlie making way towards Aryan’s car dejected. And at that very moment he realized that he has lost his Jhalli forever… He knows that Imlie has chosen a way that will take her away from him for forever and the worst part is that he himself has closed all the routes of her returning back. And hence as Imlie said.. He was left with nothing but the punishment that Imlie gave him….Punishment where he has to live alone with regret without his Jhalli.. For Forever.....
Imlie found her home but Aditya felt like that he has become homeless.. For home is not a place but the person who can give you the same warmth that gives you peace.. And Aditya has break that home from his own hands and hence now he has to spend whole of his life homeless… For Forever….
So This was it.. Not Sure how it came out but I hope you all going to like it... If not then truly sorry for disappointment 😳
