chap5

Imlie had packed her bag early monring knowing the Tripathis will never ever let her go without doing all the household chores.

Infact they gave off to maid today and told Imlie to tell her boss that she will be directly come to airport.

And how true it was...she was dead tired by the time it was for her to leave. Of course , Aaditya tried again to get closer to her but luckily the same time, she got call from Aru.

Aru she only calls him Aru in her mind, it just came on its own.

It was her first time flying, she saw youtube videos whiles she was in cab she didn't want Aryan to know how nervous she is flying.

Once she checked in, she went to gate. She looked around but did not see him maybe he will come later.

She got a text at same time," Imlie did you reach to gate yet?"

"Yes" she replied

"K"

She always find annoying when somebody replies with K . As if they are doing a favor by even talking to you.

She hmmphed, tapping her feet in nervousness. She felt a tap on her shoulder to find Aryan. "Hey Imlie, Whats up? Sorry i was in the lounge."

He sat next to her. She felt relieved finally she doesnt feel out of place anymore.

"No worries."

"Why you look so tensed?? Relax its out of work hours, I am not going to make you work at this hour " he laughed.

Thats the first time she saw him laughed and it melt her heart. She feels wrong, all these weird feelings thats going inside her.

Why does she feel all jello from inside? Why whenever he is near she feels her heart racing? Maybe because he is intimidating, and her boss.

She should not think about all this. She has enough in life right now, but she could not let go of that nagging feeling.

"Just tired" She replied.

"No Sir?"

"Huh?"

"You always end your sentences with Sir?" Aryan was amused.

"Oh sorry Sir"

"Are baba i said relax, i am just messing with you. You always look like this obediant school child Imlie. You need to let go. Feel free. I am your boss yes but right now

we are outside working hours right?"

"Yes"

"Then just calm down and feel free . And please do stop your Sir Sir, I hear that enough in office already. Did you eat anything?" He asked

"No, not hungry."

"Hmm" he looked at her curiously. To avoid further questions, Imlie went to her phone acting as if she is about to text someone.

The truth is she does not have anybody in life to talk to.

The flight was not as scary as she thought maybe because Aryan sat next to her which was comforting.

As soon they reached the hotel in Delhi, Imlie went to her room and dropped on her bed and sleep came really fast.

Next day conference was early morning so they would have whole day to themselves or so she thought. She wanted to explore Delhi.

She felt relaxed, away from the Tripathis-nobody to stand over her, order her, harrass her. She did not even want to think about quitting the place.

She will enjoy the three days of freedom she has and worry about the plan of her running away later.

After the conference was over, Aryan took Imlie along for lunch .

While they waited in silence, suddenly a very beautiful woman around same age as her or maybe little younger strotted down to their table.

"Well Well if its isnt Mr Aryan Singh Rathore" she had a beautiful dimpled smile .

Aryan looked up in surprise and he return the smile. "Hi Natasha!!! " They hugged each other.

"This is my assitant Imlie, Imlie -Natasha she actually works for our rival company but she is my friend." he said.

"Oh come on Aryan, you always have to bring our work whenever we meet." She rolled her eyes.

"Come and have lunch with us" he nodded Natasha to take a seat.

"You dont mind?"

"Of course not, come on sit with us"

Imlie just sat there quiet, fiddeling with her food. She felt small in front of these personality. She looked up at Natasha, wish she could be this successful and confident like her.

Imlie felt inferior, even thought she knew her potential she knew she is confident , strong , ambitious its just that past months the Tripathis has managed her

soul to push back somewhere. They talked about the work nothing major and how their life is so busy that they dont even get time socialize.

After sometime Natasha had to go as something came up at work,"So Sorry guys, I have to take your leave. I tell you some of these reporters can get on your nerves." She giggled and looked at Imlie with sweet smile,

"It was nice meeting you Imlie, I do want to say you have beautiful eyes Imlie, am jealous" she winked.

"Thank you Natasha ji" she said with big smile. She felt good about the compliment. Nobody complimented her before.

"So Imlie, what you think we should do today evening? Lets plan something and please work is over for the day..no sir we will hangout as friends?"

"Friends?" Imlie asked

"Yes" extending his hand

"Friends" she smiled and shook his hands.

" So tell me .."

" I dont know , i never been to Delhi before..." she replied with pout.

"Hmm, lets just explore how about that? Just walk around see if we find something fun to do? What say?"

"OK sir" He raised his eyebrows at the word sir

"Sorry Aryan ji" she said with a smile.

"You always smiling Imlie, i like that about you." He said genuninely . They finished their lunch and went to their respective rooms for a nap after deciding to meet at 5 pm.

A taste of freedom 😁! Amazing chapter

chap 6.

Imlie slept half hour only she decided to roam around in afternoon a bit by herself.

She noted down the hotel name and start walking down the block. After walking for while, she saw market full of colors.

She bought beautiful duppattas and even new dress for herself whatever she could afford. Yes she was saving so she can run away, but she could atleast

treat herself with new clothes and accessories. It was all very cheap since she bought it from street vendor , she knows the quality will not be great but she is happy

at whatever she could get it. She also bought something for Aryan. She didn't know if she would be able to give him or not maybe he will take it wrong she wasnt sure.

She will decide when they will be heading back home - it all depends how their relationship from boss to employee to friends turn out to be.

She saw people going about their business happy in their world, small lanes filled with kids playing it reminded her of her childhood in the village.

It hurts but its most cherished memory in her heart. She checked time on her phone and decided to head back just to be on time to meet Aru.

She was hungry she wanted to stop for some chaat. Ah chaat, her weakness its been months since she had those. She never got time to enjoy herself once she was in the hell hole.

Not for long she thought. But she decided against it, and hurried back to the hotel. As expected , Aryan was already ready.

He looked differnt as in no more suit. He wore a tshirt and sweatspants. The tshirt was hugging his body, Imlie could see his small abs, he sure does work out she mentally smirked.

SHe can enjoy the view for once.

"Hey Imlie, how come you went without me!!" he exclaimed

"I wasnt able to sleep much so decided will go by myself and return back on time and go with you" she said . She decided to act normal so she decided to be herself. Hopefully, Aryan is fine with the person she is actually.

"Ah its fine. Anyways have played bowling before?" he asked excitedly

"Yes" Shi* why did she have to lie!? Is this how she wanted her friendship to start on? Ugh too late she just blurted out. She will just act and play as she knows.

"Great then lets go and play. I decided randomly since i thought we can walk around after we play. It will keep us busy."

"sure" was all she could say after the lie.

"I am going to be driving, i have already rented a car " The valet guy quickly went and got the car.

They settled themselves and Aryan put in the directions on the GPS. Imlie always wil fascinated with technology. How a small device can take you through the unknown lanes.

"So imlie, Tell me how is your marriage life? you are newly married...am sure you guys must be enjoying this time" he asked as if it was a normal question.

But Imlie knew better, it wasnt normal question when it came to her life, Aryan noticed her face fell, "Sorry,I think i went too personal.." he smiled .

"No its alright, we are friends right? " After sometime she decided to reply, "No Aryan ji, we are not like other couples,

I um this is arrange marriage rather, after my mother's death the villagers did not want anything to do with me, so they married me off" she said half truth. She couldn't tell about they actually sold her off.

That this marraige is a sham . Aryan did not comment nor Imlie wanted to look at his reaction, so she continued, " Its the bitter truth, I and Aadtiya I don't even know him, his likes dislikes. I think i know about you more Sir then i know my husband." She smiled sadly.

"Hmm, I honestly don't know much about arrange marriages, but i do know that sometime it takes time to fall in love and have heard success stories of it. Am sure you and Aaditya will surely come along just try to spend time with each other no?" He said so easily

only if he knew the truth Imlie thought. Only if he knew.

"Lets go we are here" Aryan gestured her .

They both went inside. There was loud music playing, Imlie saw lanes and groups of friends or family throwing a bowl towards what looked like bottles?

Aryan went to the counter and booked themselve a lane. After few second, he asked her shoe size , she was confused but gave it nonetheless.

"Here change" he looked towards her feet. She just followed the cue and did what she told to do.

"Ladies first" when he reached the lane and set up something on screen that was hanging on their lane.

She saw him putting his and her name. She shook her head nervously "No you go first please"

"Ah fine! Let me tell you am going to win" He challenged her. She saw him taking a ball with number 12 on throw down the lane towards those plastic bottles.

All fell except three "Darn it!!" he yelled , boy he is competative that tone is scary.

"Your turn " he nodded her toward the lane.

She saw that the bottles were back up again, she looked at wide eye and in awe. She tried picking up ball with 12 and realize its heavy really heavy. She saw few more balls and

grabbed a little light weight one. She picked the ball and was about to throw when suddenly Aryan shouted "IMLIE!! are you crazy?! who throws the ball like that you cannot throw it over" he came next to her folding his hand over his chest

"You don't know how to play do you" he asked her softly

She was trying to hold her laughter , his face looked so cute he looked angry "No, the yes i said earlier i just said it so i dont get embarrased but i guess this is more embarassing" she looked toward the ball.

"Just throw the ball like i did" he replied softly. He took step back and was laughing internally.

But Aryan was surprised, Imlie outside work is differnt. He did notice , that she is letting herself free, maybe transitioning from village to city is not easy Aryan thought but he is glad she is comfortable with hima nd actually being friendly.

He was also taken back when she said nonchalantly about her marriage but he didnt want to pry further. She atleast opened up a little and he was happy with that.

"Yey"" Imlie screamed snapping him out of the thoughts. DAMN!! She got a strike!

"Wow Imlie not bad for your first time" he clapped a little.

Next hour went by, Imlie and Aryan were lost in their game they both acted like school kids who are trying to get a first prize .

Final game decided that Imlie won. Aryan was disappointed in fact he made a face and became grumpy all of sudden.

"How can i lose to a first timer" he muttered angrily at himself.

Imlie giggled while she buckled in the car.

"Acha muh latkaye kahe bethe ho, kuch to bolo" Imlie asked.

"Whatever Imlie, I am disappointed in myself!!" He made that cute baby face again.

"Sour grapes"Imlie taunted

"Oh please"

"Yes please" Imlie replied back.

Next place, they stopped over a row of huge buildings and small restuarants around. She could see small man made pond and circling those were restaurants.

She saw many couples walking around the boardwalk , Imlie eyes longed for love whenever she sees couples like that.

Maybe in her life, its only one sided love. Wait what did she just said?? One sided love where did that come from and for who?

She knew the answer but she didn't want to think about it. Its stupid in just few months , how can she get attracted to her boss just because he is this nice man who offered her friendship.

Lets not forget he thinks you will be trying work on your marriage since I and the monster don't know each other thanks to arrange marriage.

"Lets take a walk around, its beautiful weather too"

"hmm"

"Can i ask you for a favor?"he asked curiously

"Of course i thought you consider me a friend, A friend should order the other friend not ask" She said with a smile.

"You met Natasha right, how should i say this, see i have never dated and when i saw Natasha today i felt attracted to her." He looked embarrassed

"I need your help to tell me how to talk to women, how can i approach" he asked innocently

Imlie was taken aback, and little disappointed she felt in her heart. What was she thinking that Aryan would ever even think about her knowing she is married?

But she does not believe in this marriage hell its not even a marriage, there is no love no relation what so ever. He is a monster.

There were two Imlies in her mind right now, One telling not to help and the one that has lot of love in her said to help him.

"Ismein kya hai Aryan ji, its simple- go and tell her that you are interested" she replied. She would want a man to come to her and ask her out upfront not sure about other girls but this best she could advice.

"But Imlie you don't understand, I feel like am going to say something stupid"

"No you won't. You are a owner of a company i expect you to be confident when talking to a woman. How about this start with a conversation and ask if she is interested for lunch or dinner"

"Hmm I can do that. Thanks" he came and hugged her.

That hug woke something in her. His touch , his innocence, his eyes it drowned her in quicksand where she could never get out of.

She knew at this moment that she has fallen for this man in front of her. She knew even though she does not know him well, she has fallen head over heels.

It pinched her but she knew their fate are separate. She wanted to run away and gather herself , her thoughts, and most importantly her soul.

Welcome back.

Nice... Thanks for tag.... 😊

A very long chapter

Chap 7

That night Imlie couldnt sleep. What does she do about these feelings she tried pushing it away but it comes back stronger. Its better I just be his friend maybe best friend in future thats all that this relation could be. Plus he feels attracted towards someone else and why not? She is gorgeous, smart and career oriented woman. They are prefect for each other, she will give her best to help him even if it kills her inside. She has now two goals : One to run away 2. Aru’s happiness. In the end all that matters. She would definitely like to know him better as a friend. But before that she needs to think about how to leave the hell house. She can go to police but knowing the Tripathis they have friends in police, so thats a no. She could just sneakily run away and take shelter at NGO maybe that also means she has to quit Bhasker times as Aadtiya will be there and he can easily follow her after work to find her hideout unless she requests time change. Its a plan but not sure how well it will play out..And she doesnt even know what will she tell Aryan about all this.. she definitely cannot tell him, I mean he will think she is bringing a sob story to him and she doesnt want him to think of her as weak individual. So thats the plan for now, she thought once she goes back she will start packing only essentials hiding away from monster.

Now her thoughts shift to Aryan . They were comfortable with each other as friends not once she felt like an employee during evening outing.

She even made him eat chaat from stall nearby. He being rich never ate food from streets. It was strong for him but he was happy to try and not be a spoil sport. Imlie started to doze of with that last thought.

Next morning, Seminar was long and boring luckily she did not have to take notes or even Aryan did not bother her for those four hours.

Once over, “That was the most boring crappy seminar i attended” Aryan whispered to his assistant / friend. Imlie giggled in return.

“Am starving yar lets go” They went to a small restaurant right outside the building. After ordering food, “ You know yesterday night , I texted her” he said scratching his neck, sign of nervousness.

“And?”

“She agreed for dinner tonight!” He said as if its a dream.

“See it wasnt that hard was it? And what are you planning to wear?” She asked like she is the boss.

“Um a suit” he said frowning

“No can do! Aryan ji “ before she could finish

“I though we are friends Imlie what is this ji ji stop that its annoying “

“Fine.. Aryan..” it felt weird to her tongue of course she couldnt say noy weird when she calls him Aru in her mind sometimes.

“So i was saying, please don’t wear that . She will run away, she will feel that she is attending a office dinner. We will go buy if you dont have casuals. “

“But Imlie”

“No excuses. This is your first date dont you think when in future when you tell your grandkids about it they will think you are boring. So you have extra casuals or we after lunch..”

“I actually do have”

“Great then . Let me know if you need any help am right next door. “

“Thanks Imlie. Its so cool that i am getting to know you outside the office. I like our duo never thought we will be friends or i should say best friend” he winked

“Ek din mein best friend?” She asked

“You know Imlie, i hardly talk to anyone. I dont have much friends, i like to be alone , not talk much but for some reason you are so warm and that smile of yours is so infectious that a person like me is feelinh so comfortable with you. I feel like i can share anything with you. I feel i have gain beauitful gem of a friend in my life that i never had. “ He looked so serious , he emphasized how much this friendship means to him . Imlie won’t back down showing her friendship she just have to make sure her feelings doesnt overpower her. He could never know or everything will ruin and she cannot afford that.

They ate rest of their lunch silently. A comfortable silence . They both retreat to their rooms for a afternoon nap. Imlie , however went to her room and opened her work laptop to find shelter back home where she could run away to. She also as back up applied to couple of jobs she will need money for divorcr proceedings and she does not want to delay that. After research, she found a guest house on other side of town. It was an ad by old couple. She decided to call them, but a knock on her door interuppted her.

She saw Aryan standing there with white shirt half opened lookinh frustrated “ Can you help me Imlie , I am nervous wreck” showing her the button.

“Chalo hum aate hai “ in hurry she forgot her hotel keys inside. She went to Aryan Room he was waiting for her. “ Kya kiya tumne? Button tod diya. Hey sitya maiya” how will take care of this in a hotel , she need a thread and needle.

“I dont have thread and needle Aryan” she was frustrated now. “Upar ka button tuta hai whats the big deal khula rakho”

He raised both his eyebrows.

“Are aise mat dekho, she will like it. Thoda sexy to lagna pade na” she blurted out. She put palm on her mouth realizing what she had said.

Aryan laughed at her , “Sexy!! Cominh from you!oh god “ he wouldnt stop laughing.

After taking a breath, he tried removing the button that was half hanging on shirt. “This stupid thing wont come off”

“Lao” Imlie without a thought went closer put her mouth on button n pull it. Suddenly she realized the proximity. She looked up and froze. His eyes, her knees goes weak. Even Aryan was staring at her with unread emotion.

“Ye umm ye lo hogaya ab thode baal thik karo and leave dont be late . Girls hate lateness” She hit him softly on shoulder trying to throw the awkwardness between them.

Until Aryan wasnt out, Imlie stayed there when he left she realized she forgot the key to her room. She slapped on her forehead “ugh Imlie… satynash” She sat there dumbfounded. She called the front desk, but they said their maintenance guy will now come in evening they can give her another room but she denied. She will stay here until morning. She will take the sofa, i hope Aryan does not mind. She dozed off. Suddenly a knock woke her up. She looked at the time it was 10 pm and dark. She turned on light and open the door. Her heart started racing… her eyes went wide in fear.

“Sir ke room mein tum” Aaditya sneered at her with anger

“Wo humari chabi andar reh gayi hai. Sir date oe gaye hai” after she collectef herself she replied

“Acha hai”he came and closed the door.

“Dekho ye thik nai hai ye sir ka kamra hai. Koi tamasha nai chaye” Imlie warned

“Tum chaho to koi tamasha nai hoga” he tried touching her cheeks. She pushed it away.

“Please leave” Imlie sternly said

“Oh come on , i missed you” With that he grabbed both her hands twisting behind her back. She struggled to get free but he was too strong.

He blew in her ear, “you look different, there is a glow on your face. Its making me more go crazy for you. He kissed her cheeks. Imlie feel disgusted. She tried pushing him away with her body, “Aadtiya please. This is molesting”

“Biwi ho meri” he twisted her hand more

“Haq hai mera”

“Koi haq nai hai tumhara you are a psycho. A molester” that triggered him and whack! he slapped her , Imlie was in rage “Enough” she went and raised her hand to slap her, he again grabber her hands and pushed her to floor.

“Molester ?” He was in fit of rage

“I will show you what molestor is “ he was about to reach her salwar when Imlie phone rang loudly. It only meant it was Aru calling.

“Sir is calling , leave me” Aaditya snapped back when he heard the word Sir. “I will see you at home. “ with that he got up and left. Imlie straightened herself, wiped her tears and with a deep breath picked the call.

“Hello” she said softly

“Hey Imlie, date ke chakkar mein i forgot to ask you about your plan did you eat?”

“Yes” she lied

“Thank god i was feeling guilty anyways i have left will be there room”

Imlie hung up went inside the bathroom and cleaned her face but the red mark on her cheek and hand was visible lets hope Aryan does not notice.

OMG! He followed her to Delhi?! Unbelievable that he had the audacity to hit her!

But loving the friendship that she is creating with Aryan! Hopefully she can get away from the T's and save herself from more harm!

Thanks for the tag!
