First day of college. Third year.
She remembered the last two years. In the First year, she was still disguised as a maid. No one paid attention, she completed her house chores in advance then went to college where she was late on the first day.
The second year was the worst. The drama that happened, it was revealed she was Aditya's wife not a maid then Malini & Aditya got divorced, She & AKT got divorced then Aditya remarried to Malini and was planning to divorcing her again.
She missed most of her classes yet managed to pass with flying colours.
Third year, she didn't expect much. After doing her pooja, she went for breakfast in her salwaar kameez that she used to wear. Her sindoor hidden in the side partition of her hair. Her mangalsutra hidden & covered under her dupatta.
She was surprised when she reached the dining table, her favourite dishes were cooked. Arpita gave her lunch box, and instructed her like a mother does to her child on the first day of school. Aryan silently listening then he said "if anyone treats you badly or if you're in trouble, call me".
After finishing her breakfast, Aryan took Imlie's bag & her hand. He was going to drop her to college.
Sitting in the car, Aryan could see Imlie was nervous, so he thought of distracting her. "Tum kuch bhool rahi ho" he said.
Imlie looked at him, then checked her bag for her ID Card, phone, house keys, wallet etc.
"Kya? Sab kuch toh hai" Imlie replied.
He didn't reply her. So, she once again went through her bag. She checked her wallet, if she had brought any empty wallet. She had enough cash. Plus, she had recently received her stipend from Bhaskar Times.
Aryan parked his car at a distance, so no one could see him dropping Imlie. He turned towards her then hugged her. He whispered, " Tum mujhe hug karna bhool gayi".
"Tum car drive kar rahe the toh.." Imlie trailed of.
She realised, she did indeed hugged him almost every day. Sometimes when she was excited, sad or just teasingly and at night when she would sleep. First, she did it in her sleep then she hugged consciously whenever he laid down next to her. He would never say anything only return her gesture.
This was the first time, Aryan had said it out loud. They hugged for few minutes then Aryan said she will be late for her lecture, if she didn't get down now.
Imlie walked towards her college, she looked back watching Aryan leaving she felt sad.
She entered her classroom where she saw everyone was staring at her. She feared someone must have seen Aryan.
But later she heard two girls whispering about her divorce. She figured someone must have spread these rumours.
During her last class, her favourite professor asked the students about their internship experience & praised Imlie as she had read all her articles which were published. Just then Rahul commented, benefits of having an affair with the boss.
He then said, he was never given a chance to publish an article while he was assigned boring work, Imlie here went on different locations to cover news.
Imlie refuted his comments, she was not the only one except him all the interns articles got published. If he had spent half of the time being serious instead of gossiping & spreading rumours his article also would have been published.
They were arguing until the professor silenced them & asked Rahul to stop false rumours. She also punished him for creating ruckus in the class.
She asked him to submit his internship report except him all the students had mailed before the classes started & also submitted the hard copy of the report.
The Professor informed everyone that they are going to have a new transfer student. Just then, the new student entered.
Aryan was worried about Imlie's first day. He thought about calling her. What if she was in between a lecture.
So, he thought about texting. All Okay?
He erased the typed message. Then typed kya chal raha hai. Khaana khaya?
He sounded like a 90's wife. So, he just typed a generic message Text me when you're free. Then send it without over thinking.
He received a message from his sister. I'm free. Let's go for a movie.
He had sent the message to his sister. He mentally face palmed.
He received another message from his sister I'll text Imlie as well. Usse college se pick up karke jaate hai.
He sent an affirmative message to his sister.
Then sent what's up text to Imlie after checking the recipient name.
Arpita texted in the WhatsApp group chat about the movie and show timing. She had confirmed with Imlie.
Aryan received another message from Imlie. She just sent an thumbs up emoji.
It seems instead of messaging in the group chat she texted him.
Aryan laughed at his idiocy. At least, he was going out with Imlie & his sister.
Hansta rehta hu tujhse mil kar kyu aajkal
Badle badle hain mere tevar kyun aajkal
Aankhein meri har jagah
Dhoondhe tujhe bewajah
Ye main hoon ya koi aur hai meri tarah
Kaise hua, kaise hua
Tu itna zaroori kaise hua
Kaise hua, kaise hua
Tu itna zaroori kaise hua
Main baarish ki boli samajhta nahi tha
Hawaaon se main yun ulajhta nahi tha
Hai seene mein dil bhi
Kahaan thi mujhe ye khabar
Kahin pe hon raatein
Kahin pe savere
Awaargi hi rahi saath mere
Thehar ja, thehar ja
Ye kehti hai teri nazar
Kya haal ho gaya hai ye mera
Aankhein meri har jagah
Dhoondhe tujhe bewajah
Ye main hoon ya koi aur hai meri tarah
Kaise hua, kaise hua
Tu itna zaroori kaise hua
Kaise hua, kaise hua
Tu itna zaroori kaise hua
Kaise hua, kaise hua
Tu itna zaroori kaise hua
