Imlie woke up in Aryan's arms, the next day. Aryan was asleep, these last few days he woke up late & always had to rush to the office. Aryan believed that the boss should always be on time.
Imlie was someone who was a heavy sleeper, even when one would try to wake her up, she wouldn't wake up easily. One could easily, listen to loud music & she wouldn't even twitch.
Imlie woke up, then went to bathroom to freshen up. Aryan opened his eyes, he was awake but pretended to be asleep. He was amused when Imlie once boasted she woke up before him.
Aryan & Imlie went together for breakfast. Imlie noted Aryan would take care of her littlest things without making it obvious to her or anyone else. Like, how she was thinking about asking him for his laptop to do her report but he gifted her a brand new laptop & smartphone. Her phone's display was not working properly, she couldn't type anything & was not able to answer her calls.
She saw him waiting for her to get ready, acting like he was busy in his work. When she went to eat breakfast, he silently joined her.
Aryan felt they were playing hide & seek with feelings. Imlie would notice some of the things that he does for her but she doesn't comment & she impulsively hugs him or subconsciously when she's asleep but Aryan never complained or asked her to stop.
Not one of them was taking any initiative, they were just going with the flow.
And Arpita being a spectator felt that they were too slow, like a tube light.
The days passed, Aryan would sometimes take Imlie out for dinner on Arpita's demand where both would speak bare minimum.
Imlie hated this awkwardness between them but she knew Aryan wouldn't force her into something she's not comfortable in, so he was giving her a free reign. Her comfort mattered to him. He could become anything for her - a mentor, friend, partner, lover, husband.
Imlie had completed her report & submitted at her college & Bhaskar Times. She received her internship certificate as well after all her husband is the boss. Without even stepping in Bhaskar Times, she directly submitted to him & also emailed to Mr. Roy. Aryan personally delivered internship certificate to her.
They were hiding their marriage from the outside world atleast until Imlie graduated which is why Imlie avoided going to Bhaskar Times.
Imlie's college was about to start and she was nervous to say the least.
Thinking about what would happen if one found she got divorced & married again in the course of the short break between the semesters.
Imlie didn't eat properly that night. Aryan could sense she was worried. So, he bought her food in the room & started feeding her. She obediently ate after Aryan gave her look, waiting for his speech which would follow but Aryan said nothing to her.
"Tum humse baat kyu nahi kar rahe ho" Imlie asked.
Instead of replying, he fed her spoonful of rice & dal.
She again repeated her question & Aryan again fed her another spoonful of rice & dal.
Not receiving a reply, she retaliated by not eating so her so he simply put the plate down.
She opened her mouth to question him when he feed her the dessert which he had brought for her.
Imlie got distracted and her focus shifted on the dessert. She enjoyed it and finished it within seconds.
"Tum naraz ho" she asked quietly.
"Nahi. Par tum apna khayal nahi rakhti" he replied.
"Tum ho na mera khayal rakhne ke liye. Itni aasani se tumhara peecha nahi chodne wali. Ekdum betaal jaise" she joked and started laughing.
"Kaun chahta hai ki tum peecha chhodo" he murmured to himself. He was mesmerised watching her.
Hona Tera Hona
Paana Tumko PaanaJeena Hai Ye Maana
Pal Bhar Mein Sadiyan
Hai Sadiyon MeinJeena Hai Ye Maana
Haath Mein Teri Khushboo Hai
Khushboo Se Dil Behla HaiYe Haathon Se Yun Fisla Hai
Ho Jaise Rait Zara SiRoj Mohabbat Padhta Hai
Dil Ye Tum Se Judta Hai
Hawaon Mein Yun Udta Hai
Ho Jaise Rait Zara SiYe Hulchul Dil Ki Ye Hulchul
Bole Aaj Aas Paas Tu Mere
Bikhra Hu Main To
Kuch Pal Hawa Mein
Tere Bharose Ko ThameinChalna Bhi Hai Badalna Bhi Hai
Tujhmein Hi To Dhalna Bhi HaiDil Thoda Jazbaati Hai
Bhar Jata Hai Baaton Se
Ye Fir Chhalke Yun Aankho Se
Ho Jaise Rait Zara SiHaath Mein Teri Khushboo Hai
Sach Poocho To Ab Yun Hai
Tu Chehre Pe Mere Thehra
Ho Jaise Rait Zara Si
