Chap 9
"Wha-? You are lying right! Divorce? Do you even what you are saying Imlie? No no no!" Aryan was stunned. He stared into her eyes looking for any mischief but all he got was emotionless eyes staring back at him.
"You cannot do this" he whispered trying to cup her face , to make her understand.
"Aryan , please leave" she said politely. Aryan sat there, Rishi was awkward as he saw the two interact. Imlie was controlling herself, to not break in front of him.
When nobody uttered anything, Aryan got up "I am not going to sign any papers" he said and looked towards Rishi "You , its all because of you. I wont leave you" he threatened but giving one last look to Imlie he left. Imlie looked at Rishi and said , "I am sorry and thank you for helping me out "
"Anything for you Imlie. Come on eat your food while I have to finish up a report" he said giving his friend a side hug, he too left Imlie alone.
Aryan was lying on broken pieces of his house decor, lamps and he had broken glasses around him. He was staring at ceiling, tear's brimming on eyes. "Kyu!" He screamed . "I HATE YOU!! I HATE YOU IMLIE!" He started to cry. "I love you" as he covered his face in frustration. He finally got up, went to his bedroom. In the wardrobe, there were still some clothes that she had left. He took one of her dress and smelled her essence. It calmed him, he wrapped the dress around him like shawl and paced around the house. Million thoughts running in his mind, he wont sign the paper, plus he is influenced man now, he could use that. He took the dress with him to bed to make himself fall asleep.
His show was going great infact he now even got offer to work in thr movies!! I mean it rare that happens but he said yes for it and the shooting will begin in a month. He already talk to his producer of his series. They will either kill of character or get replacement but he cannot let this opportunity go. His personal life was mess, he tried meeting Imlie but she avoided him. He still havent got the divorce papers maybe she changed her mind. Then one evening, the post came , the papers were here. He still had hope she would come back but today looking at papers he broke again. He threw the papers on the floors and texted Imlie but didnt get respond. He went to her social media but was shocked to see her and Rishi picture, standing side by side his hand on her waist, but what shook his core was the caption - We are getting engaged. This was posted few mins ago and he saw the location. He changed his clothes and drove off .
He got her on time, as he was parking he saw them going to the car. He rushed towards them and grabbed Imlie hand and took her behind some other car. Rishi stood there not wanting to interrupt them. "What are you doing? Are you crazy? Engagment? What about me? What about our relationship? I fu*king love you, you are my life Imlie!!" He shouted at her. She brushed his hand off her , "Where were you when i needed you? Love? It took you one role to forget that you have a wife!!!! I bloody waited for everyday, my aru. But Aru became Aryan Singh Rathore, an arrogant self centered man. The man i never knew!!! I still tried to understood that its new for you , these shoots you were overworking so i gave it time. I didnt care you worked overtime Aru , but somewhere you forgot me!!!! You know how it feels? I will tell you, i rather have pieces glass pull out from my body then ever go through that feeling again! Loneliness even when i had my famous husband at home. We were each other family " she cried grabbing his tshirt
"What happen? I thought i was your best friend your family . We only ever needed each other!! But you got new family and friends , and you forgot the one at home. In interview, not once you mentioned you have wife!" She screamed back at him, letting her hidden frustration out.
"Mein tumhe sunana nai chaati Aryan rehne do , what i do now is none of your business. Just sign the papers" she said trying to calm herself
He pushed her against the car, bringing forehead touching hers, "You cant do this! I wont let you. You are mine Imlie. Yes i am at fault. Yes i am sorry but dont give me this punishment. Please dont!! You know i got a role in movie, and i wanted to give this news you but news to tumne mujhe dedi" he cupped her face.
"Please we will work it out , i am sorry ." He bgged
"Aryan let me go" she has to leave now , he is her weakness still. All the plan will fail, he still hasnt realised, his sorry was more because he cant see her with any other man. He took her by suprised when he kissed her lips , "Tell me you dont feel anything? " Imlie controlled her emotions and flatly lied "No, this is not right ! Am getting engaged to that man " she pushed his chest to make distance.
Giving him final warning , "Aryan we are done" and she ran to Rishi who she gave hug. Aryan fell on his knees lost. Imlie cried all the way in car , Rishi said "Imlie i know you love him to death. I saw him , he looked distraught, aur kitna natak hume karna padega?"
"Until he doesnt realise that fame is not everything. What fame has done to his mind. He apologized but i didnt feel it genunine i know him. He is extremely possesive and jealous right now, for that feeling to have me back he said sorry. He needs to understand and remember what he actually did" Imlie explained.
"Imlie i am never going sign! " Aryan said as he tore the papers back home.
