Part 3- Tantric and blind date
He had followed her but she has been lucky. She went home directly letting the chief know that she is available but just feeling little uneasy . She went to her bedroom and locked it knowing he could follow her here. Chief called her again,
"Listen Imlie i forgot to ask you, Is Aryan ok? I mean he is like my son. And to see him lately acting out of place concern me. If you anything?" He asked genuinely concerned.
"I dont know Sir, usually this happens when they have sleepless night, they dont eat, stop functioning all together"
"I didnt get you" said the chief
"Sir, he seems to be in love" Imlie hold her mouth from giggling.
"Oh i see, well i will talk to him when time comes because its impacting his work. Thank you beta tc too" he hung up and she laughed. Just half hour later she got text message from Aryan to meet him downstairs for a case regarding tantric.
First she thought, he was messing with her but then she confirmed indirectly by calling the office. She still cautiously went downstairs and saw Aryan waiting in the car. Clearing her throat, she sat without looking at him .
He didnt say anything until, "This case - a tantric who has been luring people with his nonsense superstitious talks and looting them. He actually killed somebody too but heres the catch- he still hasnt been caught because of his followers one of them being MLA wife. She is ardent follower. Its going out of hand because now murder is invovled, the guy who complained is scared because police cannot do anything as MLA invovlement. They dont believe because of blind faith. Right we will just go and reiki the place where he does tantric stuff. You and me keep the guns in car we act normal ok?" He looked at her with question mark.
"Of course " She was ready to catch this dhongi baba.
They went their as planned looking and acting normal. He had quiet a few followers, they were in meditation. They sat at the back, looking around the area. Tantric was sitting at front with four men behind him, they looked like body guards rather than follwers. Aryan nodded at Imlie understanding that yes with tantric those four seems culprits too. A lady suddenly came crying "Baba aap dhanya ho baba, jaise aapne kaha waise kia aur dekho hume chaye tha hogaya baba" she fell on feet but baba/tantric was in meditation. One of the four man whispered something to lady who nodded and taking his blessing started to walk away. Imlie whispered, "I am going to follow her and ask her" Aryan nodded.
Imlie quietly followed her until they were away pretty good distance , "Suniye" the lady turned around "ji?"
"Woh baba, suna ke wo sab kuch karsakte hai, chamatkaar ?" She asked
The lady smiled , "Ha humare pati ka dukaan ban padha tha, kya kuch nai kiye phir in baba se puche unhone bola wo kia"
"Kya kia" she asked curiously
"Bali di" Imlie was taken aback
"Bali? Kis chiz ki?" Imlie asked hoping it wasnt human sacrifice.
"Bus itna bata sakte hai varna sab kuch humaea bigad jayega" she turned started walking away. Imlie knew that was only information she was going to get. She didnt go back to group instead went to car waiting for Aryan who came in few minutes.
She told him what woman said, scared that human sacrifice might be involved. "Hmm Ek baar baba haath aajaye, bali mujhe bhi deni hai" Aryan said smiling and looking at Imlie.
"Shut up" she said . She was wonderinf why isnt he said anything about report? Maybe he doesnt have proof it was her but she ran away infront of him so he knows. What is he upto? Or he just gave up? Maybe he is scared of her finally! Ha thats it she is winning this game.
The rest of day went fine, Aryan didnt bring any girl that night thank god her report idea work teaching him the lesson. At night, she logged into one of the website that she been visiting lately : blind date website. She has message from the admins that they found her match and they set up blind date for her tomrrow evening. Imlie got excited and nervous. "Finally i can get into dating scene hopefully i can find my one" she talking to herself clasping her hand.
Next morning went pretty mundane except Aryan was being too quiet and nice. Imlie didnt get bother thinking he just moodless. He had gone out in morning but came back and saw Imlie wearing heels and looking drop dead gorgeous in the dress.
She looked up and told him to move, he came forward Imlie went backwards confused. "What are you doing, ek gusah denge na dur raho mujhse" he ignored he pushed her and trapped her between him and the wall, he came closer and whispered, "Looking hot" and turned around smirking. Imlie was stunned, he managed to make her nervous and flustered with this closeness. She didnt know what to say so without wasting time she went out the door. She took a deep breath ,"Imlie he is just messing with you. Its your first date today enjoy your moment." She finallt calmed her hearbeats and left.
She arrived at bowling place that had bar and restaurant too. It was pretty happening place she hardly gets time to socialize anyways.
She saw a man good looking sitting with rose in his hand. That was the hint that he is the man.
She went there, "Shubh?" She asked nervousness setting in.
"Yes" he got up and gave light hug "Imlie correct? Nice name" he smiled
"Yes. Nice place"
"Yes . So nervous?"
"Yes a little" Imlie said smiling. "First time so"
"Oh first time dating? " Imlie nodded . Slowly they got into conversation, he seemed a nice guy who works for IT company, he has been dating before but not found anyone interesting. He seemed to like her.
"Imlie!!!!" Someone shouted her name people looked around and so did Imlie, then she saw Aryan. Oh god what does he want ? He followed me here? Shi*. He looked worried and sad, "Kya hua Aryan" he looked really upset
"Imlie dont do this yar . Humara lalla ghar pe ro raha hai aur tum yaha chi.. " he said joining hands and then looked at Subh "Sorry to ruin your date, i will go away but please tell her to atleast think about her lalla."
Subh got up, "Lalla?"
"Humara bacha, yeh humse khush nai hai thik hai par humare lalla par gussa kahe nikaal rahi hai " he fell on Imlie feet . "Aryan what ?" Imlie was speechless and looked ar subh"He is lying koi lalla nai hai"
"Acha? Juth bolte hai hum? " he removed his wallet "Dekho ye dekho photo lalla ka dikhta haina Imlie ki tarah?" He showed the picture to Subh who poor guy looked confused and sad.
He nodded and without saying anything left.
People around made faces at Imlie, "KYA HAI APLOG KO APNA KAAM KARO" Imlie said angrily. She was about to give earful to Aryan but he had disappeared already.
"Ughhh" she stomped her feet "Kutte!" Calling out to nobody in particular.
