Chap 2 - STUBBORN
Imlie was frustrated, in just two days, she got flowers, chocalate boxes and more flowers. And her dad reaction wasnt helping. He was angry, he automatically thought she is having a affair.
"Kon hai ladka? Aise koi bhejega itna sara?" Looking around the room filled with atleast 25 bouquets. "BABA, I told you i dont have any boyfriends!!! I dont know who sent this!!! There is no name in it!! Why you always automatically assume about women character?" She shouted at her dad who was annoying her even more hy questioning her.
Imlie had an idea who it might be, but then he doesnt know anything except her name. Not even her last name, or where she stays or anything! She is stupid to even say her name to a stranger. She cannot even complain since she doesnt have proof either plus her dad will go crazy if she even mentions police in the house. His izzat and all bhasan will start. She wants to get out from house. Nisha was free , so she joined Imlie for window shopping and just hangout at the beach later.
"Chal lets have makai, its such breezy weather" once they were at beach, Imlie felt better. She almost forgot about the flowers.
As they were taking bite of the corn, Nisha asked, "Imlie , are you scared?"
"No. Its just all weird and i feel its same guy. I mean what does he want? I denied him dance thats why?" She frowned
"These men, i tell you cannot take a no. If its same guy then definitely we will beat him up next time we see him if we see him.
As if he heard them, he popped out of nowhere "Ek buta dena" Vihaan asked the guy.
"Hi ladies, before you pounce on me, I just want to talk to Imlie once. Is it so hard? I am not going to eat her! " he laughed .
The girls looked at him as if he has lost it.
"Why? And did you send all those gifts?" Imlie asked angrily
"Yes"
"How the fuc* you know where i live ? Dekho we warned you , I am going to report !" She threatened
"Tch Tch. Its not a crime. Plus it has no name and no way for you to prove its me. And i just want to go out for coffe date with you. I am mesmerized ever since i saw you. Look just one coffee date. Then will leave you alone" He was putting up deal, is this man for real? Imlie thought.
"No. A no is no! Dont you get it? "
"But why? Am good looking , i have money, all the luxury you need i will give you. Just one date" he asked again not giving up.
"No Vihaan" Nisha interuppted "Please leave us alone"
"I dont care about your money or anything. You cannot force someone no?" She explained nicely trying to calm herself in this situation.
"I am not forcing simply trying to be friends. Hence asking you on coffee. We will go to a crowded place , I promise i wont even touch you. Dont be so harsh. Thats how friendship starts with anyone right you have to give them a chance" He said
Imlie pondered on it, if he will back off and stop this nonsense, she will go with him. "I have one condition, my friends will be there on other table. And after this you will stop your stalking and sending gifts or whatever. I am going to report you proof or not" she gave subtle threat.
"Deal! Tomorrow around 5 pm? I will pick you up?" He asked
"No! I will come with my friends . Thanks" she said . He soon left happy but Nisha was looking at her friend shocked.
"Why would you do that?!" She asked
"Yaar ye banda wont stop and if he wont stop my baba wont let me live in peace. Secondly we made deal he will stop. I am going to repel him by wearing ugliest clothes and ugliest makeup. I am just done. Its all so creepy. Plus am going to record everything in cafe if he crosses his boundry even after" She told her friend about her impromtu plan.
"Yar Imlie i dont know. He just gives psycho vibes"
"I know! So let me record so i have damn proof. And first am going to explain him how i feel , he needs to listen. He needs to accept " Imlie said conlcuding the conversation. Later that night, she got text , "See you tomorrow"
Imlie got up, and replied "How you got my number? "
She never got a reply back. Thats this ends tomorrow.
Imlie reached there early with her friends. They took the table right behind her while she waited. She saw him enter, he is good looking guy and seems to be from good family why is he doing all this?
"Hi" as he sat down. He had this spoiled rich brat demeanor.
"Hi" said disinterested. He looked at her and frowned " Nice try" he told her chuckling
"Huh?"
"Clothes and loud make up. Not going to make me run away today" Then the waiter came and they both ordered coffee
"So Imlie , say something " he asked
"I dont have anything to say" she said
"I know almost everything about you" he said
"And thats stalking and how you got all the information" she asked
"I am from influential family. Whatever i want i get it and find it. I have my sources" he winked
"Please stop this Vihaan. I am really not interested in anything with you not even friendhsip. All this is too much, its creepy" she explained to him nicely
"But i havent done anything " he said dangerously.
"You have. Sending flowers and all. This is our last meeting. See you cannot impose your feelings on anyone. If its a no, please respect it. Dont take it to your ego"
"I already did. What do i do Imlie? I cannot take out my head. I tried" he said softly staring intensly in her eyes.
" i dont even know you!! This ends today as per our deal" she said
"Deal is deal" he said weirdly
"But feelings? All we doing is fighting since i came . Lets have some nice talk" he said as the waiter put the cups of coffe on table.
"You know what , i cant take it anymore i tried" Imlie got up and put her share of money on table.
"Girls lets go" she turned and told her friends to leave.
All three of them hurriedly went to the car, and left the area. Imlie got the recording she wanted but then all of sudden a jerk to the car made all of them unconcious.
