Love knows No bounds

Attack

Imlie was resting on her bed watching ceiling of her room while cold evening breeze were running outside and it gave her chills when the air entered her room from the slight opening of the window. It was a holiday..finally Sunday came and she got sometime for herself(although there was another reason to it..keep on reading), but she was not able to relax her mind for a bit, a lot of things had happened since the day (Wednesday) she had slapped Mr. Sood and filled a complaint agianst him.

On Wednesday evening when she finally was successful in filling a complaint against him, she was going back to her home (she lived on rent on 2nd floor of an apartment, near her office, she moved there after her divorce) via autorickshaw. Exactly when she was entering in living are her phone rang and it was Mr. Sood.
Initially she thought of not answering it but then decided otherwise and answered with just a hello. The cold voice of Mr.  Sood gave her chills ..he sounded as if he was capable enough to kill her, "you spoiled brat..you think you can fight?? Against me?? You know  who I'm haa?? Don't you dare forget who you are..you dumb village girl." With that he disconnected the call ..actually Imlie was not sure whether he was the one who disconnected it or it was her..
Her heart was beating like a drum she was feeling as if it would pop out of her chest..she wasn't afraid of him but the way he spoke those words pulled the land underneath her.

She finally got that feeling that she was actually dealing with someone way more powerful and with way more contacts then hers...still she stood at her ground and thought of fighting this battle..
ITS BETTER TO DIE THEN TO LIVE ONN WITH A CRUSHED DIGNITY.. she thought.

On Thursday she assembled her team and did basic work and prepared basic report that was to be submitted to Aryan.

On Friday she handed over the prepared documents to Aryan and he was impressed with the initial work and preparations done.

Saturday morning was the one when the bomb exploded!! As planed the first article was printed..the news headline was

FAMOUS BUSINESSMAN ACCUSED OF HARASSMENT BY FEW ANONYMOUS FEMALE STAFF MEMBERS!

The article had superficial information about how he used to deal with female staff of his office and how he used to ask them choose between getting fired and compromising..and gaining success.

This was it!! This was when Mr. Sood truly showed what he could do. What happens when you trigger him.

While Imlie was on her way back to her home in an auto when the auto was at first got hit by an overly speeding scorpio car from side and tripping it over..
Imlie managed to came out of that auto when she felt that blood was gushing out of her left leg..a glass piece has pierced deep into her calf causing a pain that was making her unconscious..

She just heard someone speak up, "sir said this is just a trailer, will make it turn into a whole movie..with a climax you would never want, if you don't stop what you have started." "you are just a pigeon don't you dare act like a hawk." Said the cold voice with not a drop of sympathy for the girl whining in pain.

After they were gone the auto driver who was also gravely injured got up and helped Imlie to reach a nearby hospital..
she laid there with eyes closed although she was able to hear to what was going onn around her but she was not able to respond to anything happening there..she was not sure whether it because she was partially unconscious because of blood loss or it was because now she was left with no power to fight (since that dreadful experience there wasn't a single day of rest for this girl).

After few hours when she finally got her senses back she felt someone's presence in her room she tilted her head and saw Aryan sitting on side sofa and was working on his laptop that was kept on the table in front of him.
He was in simple casuals(as she has always seen him in formals..even during that fight with kuka) ..he was wearing a dark green hoodie with black jeans.
She tried to get up but ended up shrieking in pain as in an effort to get up, accidentally she gave pressure on the hand that had iv attached to it.

In matter of seconds Aryan was standing right at her side and was helping her in getting up sitting properly.
He placed the pillow properly so that she could sit comfortably. He rang the bell that was meant to call hospital staff when required And finally asked, "How are you feeling now?"
To which Imlie replied by , "how did you come to know about my whereabouts?"
"Is it a tradition or something that you'll never answer my questions at first take?" Asked Aryan sounding a bit worried but also annoyed.
Imlie stepped down and answered, "Im feeling okay now, its just that my leg is hurting a bit and now this hand!" She completed with a cute baby face that she made involuntarily.
"Now will you answer my question or i have to repeat your tradition wala dialogue?" Asked imlie with a smile that she was able to keep intact for few seconds.

"Ohh! well i called you to inform that the article was getting amazing response but in return the call was picked up by the autorickshaw driver who brought you here..so i just came to check if you were okay or not...well that driver actually exempted himself from a strong scolding just because he brought you here..you know ...galti maaf(mistake forgiven)." Said Aryan, today he was talking in a normal way without any bossy air surrounding him.

Imlie thought would he really have scolded someone for his employee..but then dusted these thoughts away thinking her mind was thinking too much because of the side effect of medication.

Then she said, " Thank god you didn't scolded that innocent person, it's Mr. Sood who needs scolding right now..like seriously Aryan (yes she called him that in her flow) one of his man said that cheesy line this is just a trailer, will make it turn into a whole movie..with a climax you would never want (Imlie laughed and acted like a goon while saying this dialogue)pigeon- hawk and all" she completed with a realisation that she called him with his name so she paused..actually she said all this in a sarcastic way to mean that Mr. Sood was scared of a 21 year old girl but it didn't go as expected with Aryan.

"That bloddy Vansh (Mr.sood's fist name) needs to stop, this is enough..how in the real hell can he attack someone like that ..is he so weak to get scared and rocked with a single article." Aryan said in a very angry voice..Imlie could feel that anger and was about to say something but stoped when the nurse entered and checked her iv hand..thankfully it wasn't hurt that bad. She checked Imlie and left meanwhile Aryan had made a call don't know where but when he came back to talk he sounded a bit relaxed.

"You will live in my house untill all this ends." He said with a straight face.
And obviously Imlie refused but Aryan responded, " I'm not asking Imlie..I'm telling you to do so, it was my Idea to bring this issue to limelight so now its my responsibility to keep you safe till this matter ends..and also FYI Doctor has asked you to move less so my house-help will provide you with everything, though my Maa and Di can provide you with love and care.
And still if you are in a mood of getting into any kind of formality you can pay me the rent that you pay at your current apartment..sounds like a deal?"

Questioned Aryan as if he have already prepared a roadmap of what's going to happen in upcoming 10 years.

"Paying rent and then live at your place sounds ok. But still sir its not your fault..it was my decision to go onn with this article you didn't forced anything." Pacified Imlie.

"Actually outside office Aryan sounds better, as you called earlier( shit!! He noticed thought Imlie).. leave  the word Sir at office doorsteps only." He said

Imlie was at first reluctant but then agreed, "ok..Aryan" she said while fighting the strong urge of using sir after his name.

And here now she was on her bed..after getting discharged from hospital and now..waiting for One of Aryan's driver to come and pick her up.as she had asked Aryan to atleast let her pack her stuff.
