Villain (An Arylie FF) (update Epilogue on Pg 16 & A/N on Pg 17) - Page 6

Interesting update.

Akt came to know about Imlie working in BT.

Loved the way Imlie handled him.

Liked the way Aryan handled Akt's tanturms, Akt got demoted👏👏.

He also saw Akt and Imlie's interaction.

Imlie is so lonely 😢. She needs a companion with which she can share her pain.

Glad that Imlie will be in Haryana when Akt and Malini will get married.

Waiting for next

Chapter 7

Imlie had received a call from the senior reporter in the morning, to inform her about the bus. She had to catch the 10am bus. Along with her and Senior Reporter Ranjit Singh, Satinder was also accompanying.

She hurried to the bus station already being late, she finally caught the bus. She was looking for Satinder and Mr. Singh, they weren't in the bus. She called Mr. Singh's phone but it was out of network coverage. She didn't have anyone's number. The ticket checker asked her for ticket and she asked him to give ticket to Haryana.

The ticket checker said "Madam, ye bus Haryana nahi Jaipur ja rahi hai."

She asked him to stop the bus. And after insisting several times he finally relented she was in the bus for 30 mins.

She didn't know where she was and she was panicking. She called Bhaskar Times office and asked for Aryan Singh Rathore. The receptionist knew about the new intern whose first article got published. She connected to Aryan and told him Imlie was calling for him. He asked the receptionist to connect the call.

When her call was connected to Aryan, she started rambling "Sir, hum Imlie, shayad hum galat bus mein chale gaye, hume pata nahi hum kaha hai. Aap humari baat Mr. "

"Quiet. First, I don't understand tum kya kehna chahti ho, take a deep breath and aaram se bolo"

Imlie took a deep breath as instructed and slowly began to explain her situation.

"Aur tumhe 10 baje ka bus bola tha" He asked.

"Yes Sir, waha ek hi 10 baje ka bus tha jo Jaipur ka nikla."

"Send me your live location, mera number maine tumhe message kiya. Imlie, stop panicking" he then disconnected the call.

Imlie saved Aryan's number and sent him her live location on WhatsApp.

She waited for few minutes hoping Aryan Singh Rathore would arrange transportation for her to reach Haryana. She was his employee, he would at least have to make sure she reaches Haryana.

After what seemed like an hour, Aryan Singh Rathore reached the location she had WhatsApped him.

"Sit" he ordered her to sit in his car. As soon as she sat, he started driving fast as if he's driving a sports car.

She had tightly clutched the seat, her seat belt in place, her eyes closed. She was constantly doing "Jai Sita Maiyya Ki" jaap.

Aryan noticed this and asked "Darr lag raha hai"

She replied "Nahi" shaking her head.

"Good" he replied, increasing his speed.

Stupid, Imlie thought. Why didn't she just said yes, now she would have to tolerate this speed.

After what seemed like an hour, Aryan said "Take this" he passed her energy bar and bottle of water. Imlie realised she was hungry and hadn't eaten in the morning.

He parked on the side of the road and ate the energy bar. Imlie followed him. He had also gotten some fruits which he gave her.

He started the car, this time he was driving at normal speed. They reached the hotel which had been arranged for Senior Reporter, Satinder and her. Aryan asked Imlie to go the room and freshen up as she had to leave in few hours to cover the story.

Meanwhile, Satinder had noticed Imlie had missed the 9am bus. He alerted Ranjit Singh, but Ranjit didn't seemed to be bothered about it instead he was blaming her for getting the appreciation to her head.

Ranjit was briefing Satinder at the hotel restaurant just then Satinder noticed Bhaskar Times owner Aryan Singh Rathore, who was walking towards them.

Ranjit noticing Satinder distracted, was about to scold him when Aryan said

"Dusri intern kaha hai, Mr Singh"

Ranjit explained how irresponsible Imlie was who wasn't serious enough to catch the bus on time.

"Did you try to contact her?" Aryan questioned. Ranjit said he was getting any network while travelling.

"So you left an intern without notifying anyone. Aap Mr. Roy se baat karte ya office me mujhe message dene ke liye call karte. How careless" Aryan scolded Mr. Singh.

"Mr. Ranjit, I'm warning you agar apne ye phir se behaviour repeat kiya toh aap ko bhi Mr. Tripathi ki tarah demote kar diya jayega" Aryan warned him.

Aryan texted someone and said "Lagta hai mujhe aapko supervise karna padega. Agar aapko apna kaam theek se nahi aata toh phir aapko sikhana padega. Kal tak mujhe iss story pe 3 articles chahiye."

Imlie received a text from Aryan to join them in restaurant.

She reached at the restaurant and noticed Mr. Singh sitting and huffing in anger. Satinder looking everywhere except at Aryan or Mr. Singh. Aryan Singh Rathore was looking at his phone typing something furiously.

"Imlie" Aryan called "Eat something, we'll leave in 30 minutes" Imlie had ordered 2 sandwiches and a bottle of water. She ate one, packed another sandwich into empty tiffin box she had bought with her, stuffed the tiffin and bottle of water in her bag. She hadn't bought anything to eat or drink. Aryan also ordered sandwiches.

After paying for his & Imlie's bill, they left.

The day was eventful, they managed to cover the ex CM's release as well as record statements from his associates, family members, party workers, neighbour's & all the people related with the case.

It was dark by the time they had reached the hotel. Aryan had to drive back, as he had meetings lined up. He asked Imlie to pack up as she was leaving with him.

After getting freshen up and eating early dinner, they left.

I just can't wait for more Arylie scenes. Great update 👍🏻

Beautiful update ❤️.

Loved how Aryan helped Imlie to reach Haryana.

Waiting for next

Chapter 8

Imlie was silent while Aryan was driving his car, this time at normal speed. She was recollecting today's incident, her first thought was to call Aryan instead of Senior Reporter Ranjit.

Aryan on the other hand was thinking about this incident as well. He knew this was not accidental, Ranjit had purposely told Imlie wrong bus timing. Mr. Roy had informed him they were going to Haryana in 9am bus but Imlie was conveyed she had to catch 10am bus. He had suspected foul play.

Damn that man, he thought. Mr. Tripathi had conspired with Mr. Ranjit. They had been friends and worked together many times.

He knew if he hadn't come here along with Imlie, Ranjit would have sidelined her or not allowed to work on the story.

Mr. Tripathi and Imlie, there's something going on.

Ranjit didn't have any personal grudge with Imlie but he was an egoistic man.

Mr. Tripathi must have stroked the man's ego to get him do what he wanted. He seemed to have a personal grudge with her which Aryan, himself had witnessed and it was mutual..

Hmm, interesting.

"Tum apne ghar call karlo. They must be worried" Aryan said.

"Humara yaha koi nahi hai" Imlie replied in a sad tone. She didn't realise she said that out loud.

She then suddenly put a smile and said "Radio kharab hai? Chal nahi raha"

Aryan just looked at her and turned on the radio.

Hearing the song, Imlie got excited and started singing loudly and dancing along with song.

Aryan got distracted and switched off the radio. "I'm trying to drive here"

"DJ wale babu mera gaana chala do" Imlie sang this line repeatedly.

"What" he said

Imlie instead of replying started singing another song ignoring him.

Aryan sighed and switched on the radio. "Ye humare SRK ka gaana hai" Imlie squealed and started singing along

Imlie sang all the way till Aryan dropped her at her apartment.

Next morning, everyone was discussing about AKTs wedding. Some of them had been invited, it was a small affair.

Just as she was going to Aryan's cabin, she heard AKT inviting the whole office to his reception party tomorrow.

She went to Aryan's cabin. Her next assignment was to cover a party tomorrow. Mr. Tripathi's mother in law had given Bhaskar Times exclusive coverage rights for the event on a condition that Imlie cover the event. Imlie refused as she didn't want to attend.

"Imlie, this is your job. You can't refuse something because of your personal issues with someone. Do you think a doctor would refuse treatment to a person he hates? No. Because it's his job to treat everyone. So, go do your job." Aryan scolded her like a teacher does to a student.

As she was going towards the small conference room, AKT saw her and made his way towards her "Kal zaroor aana" he said

Just as she was about to reply, "Of course, Mr. Tripathi." she heard Aryan saying.

"Aap leave pe hai..iska matlab ye nahi ki jo article aapko submit karna tha wo aap deadline ke baad submit kare. Next time, I expect your article to be submitted before deadline, aakhir aap senior reporter hai, wo bhi respected." Aryan said.

"Bhaskar Times ki taraf se congratulations on your wedding. I hope iss baar aapki shaadi chale." Aryan wished him.

Aryan had found out through Mr. Roy that Imlie was once married to AKT. They had just divorced and now he is married to Malini, his second ex wife now wife. He had married Malini the first time while still being married to Imlie.

What a cheat, Aryan thought.

"Imlie, let's go" Aryan ordered her and then walked out of Bhaskar Times with Imlie following him.

"Tomorrow be ready by 4pm, I've assigned you a team who will help you to cover the event. Reach the venue early to setup" Aryan said while walking towards his car.

"I haven't said yes" she said quietly.

Aryan stopped walking and turned towards Imlie, looked at her intently raising his eyebrows.

"Soch lo, phir jo consequences hoga uski zimmedar tum hogi. Tumhe apni zidd chhodni padegi, ye job chhodni padegi ya phir..."

"Ya phir..." Imlie asked.

"Teesri baat udhar rahi" he replied.

"Hum ye event cover karenge. Ye job humare liye important hai" Imlie said.

"Mujhe pata tha, tumse ye hi jawab ki ummeed thi"

"Akkadbagga" Imlie said making a face at Aryan.

"I heard that" he said

"Isliye humne kaha" she replied.

"Hum kaha jaa rahe hai" she asked.

Without giving her reply, he started his car.

"Akkadbagga"

Interesting update. 👏

Arylie's interaction was nice. 😊

Aryan joined the clues and found about Aditya and Imlie.

Imlie will cover the reception of Malini and Aditya.

Ohh aryan got to know abt imlie past☺.. Aryan now will treat akt n different way😁... Excited for party with aryan encouraging imlie

I just read all the in fahmaan's voice 😍

Chapter 9

Aryan drove to his house - the Rathore Mansion, Arpita had called him home.

"Ye tumhara ghar hai" Imlie asked him. He went inside without replying. Imlie had to run to catch up to him.

"Fast Forward. Fast forward mein car drive karta hai aur Fast forward mein chalta bhi hai" she mumbled to herself.

Imlie walked inside, taking in his house. It was a mansion, she had never seen before, bigger than even Tripathi Niwas.

Aryan had gone to his room to pick up a file while Imlie was in hall looking around. It turned out his mother had gone out, and Arpita was all alone, her friends busy.

"Imlie, tum Aru ke saath aayi ho" Arpita called out when she saw Imlie. She was surprised to see her here.

"Hum iss ladki Aru ko nahi jante. Kaun hai Aru?" Imlie asked

"Mein" Aryan replied.

She started laughing, she genuinely thought Arpita was asking about a girl.

"Tumhara naam ladki jaisa hai, Aru" she said still laughing. Arpita joined too, laughing at Aryan's expense.

"Tumhe zyaada haasi aa rahi hai" Aryan asked.

"Zyaada nahi, medium" Imlie replied.

After having lunch together with Arpita where Imlie and Arpita were still making fun of Aryan who silently listening to their conversation. Aryan and Imlie then went back to Bhaskar Times.

Imlie reached her apartment late, she was so much busy in her work she didn't realised it was getting late. She picked up some food on her way as she was tired to even cook.

She heard her bell ring. She was surprised who it was, late in the night. She looked through the peep hole to see few guys she didn't recognise. She intercommed the front desk but no one picked up the intercom. Imlie was very scared and alone. It didn't look like they were going to leave. She acted as no one was home, went into her room locked herself in, hoping they would leave with her smartphone in her hands.

She didn't know whom to call. She spent the whole night being alert, jumping at slightest noise.

Next morning, she could barely keep her eyes open. She was yawning all the way to office. Even after having many cups of tea she was still sleepy.

She was in no mood to talk to anyone, she didn't initiate any conversation. Aryan noticed her off mood when she had come to his cabin to discuss about tonight's event coverage and asked "What happened Imlie?"

She just shook her head. "Drink this" Aryan said giving her his black coffee.

She had a sip and almost spit at him "ye kya zeher hai, itna kadwa. Thoda sugar toh dalna chahiye."

He silently passed sugar sachets to Imlie who emptied three sachets and still was finding it bitter.

She drank the coffee, instantly feeling awake.

Aryan was staring at her when she had left his cabin. She was not her usual chirpy self something was off with her.

Imlie reached the venue, she was dressed in plain satin silk saree with banarasi blouse which she had bought for herself.

She had setup the camera equipments with the help of her team and was ready by the time the reception started.

It was not like normal reception where the bride and the groom were on stage and everyone would form a line to click pictures with them.

This was cocktailed themed sort of DJ Party with dance floor. Anu Chaturvedi, Malini's mom and her biological father's wife was greeting her guests.

Anu saw Imlie and said "Bohot dukh ho raha hai. Malini aur Aditya ko dekh ke"

"Dukh aap ko hona chahiye, English Madam. Alimony mein mujhe Tripathi's ka almost sara property mil gaya. Aapke grandchild ke future ka kya hoga." Imlie replied.

Anu was furious "Tumhe mein batati hu"

"Sure Sure" Imlie said repeating her dialogue.

The reception started she saw the bride and the groom making an entrance. The host announced bride and groom's first dance.

AKT was looking at her while Malini was looking at AKT.

Some couples joined them on dance floor dancing on a romantic number.

Imlie didn't want to be there, she felt uncomfortable with all the memories resurfacing.

"Imlie" she heard Aryan calling her. "Where are you lost, kab se I was calling you. Focus, Imlie "

He stood near her, watching her.

"Bada yaarana lagta hai" AKT taunted them.

"Mr. Tripathi, aap apne reception ke din apni wife ko chhod kar koi aur kya kar raha hai usme zyaada interested hai. Aap bhul rahe hai ye aap hi ki party hai" Aryan replied mocking AKT.

AKT left fuming. "Chalo" Aryan grabbed Imlie's hand and dragged her to dance floor and started dancing. Imlie danced with him enjoying herself.

AKT was angry, Imlie had almost taken most of his wealth. The Tripathi's were barely making though with their savings.

This party was a gift from Anu who wanted to celebrate her daughter's wedding. Seeing Imlie dancing and enjoying herself with his new boss fueled his anger.

He went to his hotel room which they had booked where he heard Anu talking with Malini.

Apparently, Malini's father had gifted Imlie with a flat where she was currently living. Anu and Malini's father had huge fight when Anu had found out. She was planning to take everything from Imlie starting with the flat.

Interesting update.. Who knocked imlie's door??..

Aryan took her for lunch.Arylie dance🤩.befitting reply to akt s nice...Asr >>> akt, anu, malini... Excited for nxt☺
