chap 16- Attack.
Imlie had warned Ved and he had respected that warning or so she thought. Ved had gone beyond revenge, he had lost sense to think properly.
He kept distance on purpose, he has to wait before he executes his plan.
Imlie met Ahana and Pihu for the promised weekly party they had decided long back. It finally came into play.
Pihu was sweet person just like Ahana. They gossiped about movies, actors and random conversations. Ahana broke news that
she was pregnant so they celebration became more special. They started to plan a baby shower for Ahana-they each decided to distribute responsibilies.
Imlie was designated shopping of decorations her area of expertise , she gleed happily.
Aryan called that night, Imlie shared the news of Ahana and told him about their plans. He was glad Imlie had finally settled well in the marital life.
"Aur.."he asked softly. "Aur i want just eat you up i miss you that much" she replied knowing this reply will shock Aryan.
"Whaa..wow..you little jungli billi wait till i get back" he kissed her through the phone.
"I wanted to tell you something by the way" she decided to tell him about Ved and how she took care of it.
He waited for her to continue "Ved kuch zyada weird hone laga tha and i think he stalked me. One day he came to our building and told me he loved me.
I kicked him there and threatened him to police."She said scared of Aryan's reaction. Aryan didn't say anything for few seconds, "And you are telling me this now"
controlling anger in his voice. "Yes because i took care of it. You dont have to worry about it. And please dont get mad i would have still hid it if i wanted but that chapter is now closed.
I can take care of myself Aru i told you."
"Yes but still...Chodo..I want you to be careful i never liked that man.I am going to tell Dad to fire him as well."
"Aru!! Don't be ridiculous!" she yelled at him
"I don't care."he snapped back at her
"See this is why i did not want to tell you, you don't think when you are angry. Professionally there has to be valid reason to fire, work wise he is doing what he is suppose to."Imlie stated angrily.
He became silent. "Suno, i took care of everything ok? I will go to police if he repeats i promise."She blew him a kiss through phone.
"I love you and i miss you come soon. And one more thing i am ready"hinted Imlie distracting him from Ved's topic.
Sighing he said, "i love you too baby and i miss you , want to sleep on your lap."
"Come soon" with that they hung up the phone. Imlie knew he was not the phone person still he has became more expressive ever since he is been with her.
Month later, Ved incident was long forgotten Imlie had gone shopping for Ahana baby shower. She bought bunch of beautiful decorations with Jungle theme.
She went home and took pictures and sent it to Ahana waiting on her reply. Her tummy was hurting so she decided she will take stroll around her area and walk around the neighborhood.
She was lost in her thoughts, when a bike came around 10 feet away from stopped and threw something on her.
As reflex she protected herself with her hands shielding herself . Motorbike sped away.
Suddenly , she screamed in pain. Her hands, skin was melting. She fell on her knees- her face had streak of the substance that was thrown at her.
This time her soul screamed, it was unbearable a couple came running hearing the screams and helped her get up.
She had lost senses, she did not believe what had just happen . She felt she was burning alive, she did not know the extent of damage. She blacked out still screaming and withering with pain.
The couple rushed to her hospital and informed the police.
