Part 4- Attachment
Aryan next day took his fiance to the coffee shop. They sat, and Kajal asked him, “Is the girl ok?” He had told her about the case.
“She hasnt cried Kajal. It has hit her hard, traumatized for sure. I am helping her with living arrangments you know Rohan right? She will live there, her parents disowned her” he said sadly.
“Bichari” Kajal responded
“She is not bichari Kajal. She is a fighter, i could see in her eyes yesterday, she wants to fight for justice”
“I am glad you are there to help her” Waiter came and ordered cappuccino for both without asking Kajal her preference. “Why did you ask for cappuccino?” She asked
“Then you want ice coffee?” He asked
“No why did you got cappuccino for me?” Aryan was irritated
“Hot coffee? You want float?” He asked trying to control his patience before he loses.
“Why did you get cappuccino answer me that?”
“Are you nuts? Asking me again and again ! I just ordered!!”
“Yea but why did you order cappuccino for me?”she asked in her nasal voice.
“Enough!!l” he said loudly, people around them looked at them frowning. Kajal started crying, “But why you got me cappuccino? I didnt ask for that”
“Are meri ma!! Maaf karde.. behja already gaya hai. I am leaving “ he had enough of this nonsense.
“No sorry but you shouldn’t have ordered” she grabbed his hand. “i love you na i am sorry shona” he wanted to puke at the word shona right now. Why did he say yes? Khud ke pair pe khuladi mara hai. He wants to go back to his work. It gives him the sukoon. The cappuccinos came and Kajal pouted, Aryan told the waiter to get whatever the madam wanted. She ordered while Aryan sipped his cappuccino. He looked at time, he will leave for hospital after this. He didnt talk much, but kajal kept blabbering about her friends and about all unnecessary things out there. “Ok i gotta go” Kajal pouted but nodded.
He was relieved to be out of there. His ears hurt!! He turned on his playlist. “ Do dil mil rahe hai magae chupke chupke” he hummed with the song. Once he reached, he took his stuff and entered the premises. Imlie was now dressed in normal clothes, somebody might have given to her. She is beautiful person, Aryan stared at her then snapped out of it scowling at himself. Focus on work Aryan, control your wavering mind. He knocked, and she looked up nodding.
“Are all formalities done?” He asked
She nodded. They went to his car, he opened the door for her, keeping her belongings in the back.
As soon he started his car, songs started playing automatically “Is tarah aashiqui ka asar chod jaunga” Imlie turned to face him and smiled. He was taken aback by her action, she was easing in. “You like listening to old songs” She nodded but didnt say anything looked back out of the window. She softly said, “Thank you”
“For?” He asked
“For living arrangments” she replied. He nodded.
They reached and he helped her get out. She was still weak, she would falter in her steps, he even heard her hissing in pain. He didnt know how to help but just support her until they reach the apartment. The house was cleaned and ready for her, he had madde sure of that.
“This is my number, let me know if you need anything , anytime ok?” She nodded and he left closing the door behind him. Imlie took tour of the house, and took her bag in the bedroom. Her parents had dropped the bag before they had left, they didint even come inside they sent it with nurse.
Imlie sat on sofa and called her workplace, her boss was gentlman. He told her to take as much rest and return back whenever she feels like. She thanked him alot. She slept on sofa, but nightmare woke her up. She saw someone choking her. She immediately called up Aryan. He came within 10 mins as lived near by. “Are you ok?” As soon he walked , Imlie ranf hugged him, he was stunned but nevertheless he hugged her lightly caressing her head.
“You ok?” She nodded but her body was shivering .
“Nightmare” she said then she realized what she was doing she broke free and maintained a good distance. “Sorry” she said keeping her eyes downwards.
“Sit” he instructed. She sat on sofa while he sat opposite. “Relax” he said softly. He decided to distract her from her nightmare. “So , medical coder hardly ever heard of that career choice”
“Yea, i love my job” she replied
“What do you usually do after work? Any hobbies?”
“I like watching movies and would love to travel but am still learning the way of city” Arya smiled
“I love movies but more than that i love listening to songs mostly old songs 80s or 90s. I can showe you around thr city when i get time you see i am a workaholic” Imlie nodded
“Thank you for coming here” she said looking into his eyes
“No problem like i said anytime ok? Dont hesitate” he got up to leave she came till door and closed after she waved.
Aryan liked her, she was gentle and simple soul and the most endearing thing about her was her fighter spirit. She is not been leaving his thoughts lately and it has never happened with other cases. More than his fiance, well hardly ever his fiance comes in his mind, Imlie was taking over his thoughts. Tomorrow will be hard , he wants her to take him to crime spot.
