Chap 20 - Happily ever after?
Imlie rushed to him, took his head and kept on her lap knowing very well that alter can come back. But right she was proud of him, she saw him fight himself, she caressed his cheeks and kissed him on lips.
"Aryan" she whispered , his head was sweaty. With her dupatta she wiped his head. She patted his cheeks couple more time when he finally came around. "Aru" she whispered , he looked at her confused then got up and dragged himself away from her.
He became angry , "Why you came back?! Listen whenever you see me calling dont pick up!! He can trick you again like today!" He said breathing heavily.
"I will keep coming even if its him! I am so proud of you , you tried to fight it off!" She tried crawl herself to him but he stopped her.
"Imlie please ! This is not a joke and this wont go away overtime ! Chali jao please" he folded his hand and begged her.
"No! Not after i saw you fight him today! Plus i gave him nice kick " he frowned at that statement.
"No wonder am sore there" he said softly but Imlie heard it and laughed. She took that opportunity to come near him and take his hand.
"You heard my confession?" She asked frowning
He nodded and smiled but Imlie got mad
"Then say na!!! What you have to say?"
"Nothing" Aryan replied
Imlie got up and went to his wardrobe and threw all clothes on floor. She picked pillow and hit him on his head "I confessed and got nothing to say you jerk!" She said angrily "I am actually leaving deal with your dumbass alter who is as stupid and nonsense as you are" She stomped her foot and turned around waiting for him to stop her.
But he just laughed, he got up and just stood there she turned a face little to see if he even tries but he does not. She turns to face him, goes to him and grabbed his collar , "Besharam!" She shouted angrily
"Thoda sharam karke stop kardete" she said now crying all of sudden. "Gadha! Kon bardasht karega two Aryan !! Wo dusra to violent hai phir bhi I said I love you" She stopped realizing what she just done. Something snapped again this time she didnt get time to react, the alter got hold of her and took her downstairs.
Luckily for him nobody was there, he went to storage room got rope and tied her to dinning area chair. Then he went somewhere came back with ciggerette and started searing her hand and back with it. Imlie cried in pain , "Aryan please!!" But she didnt see the fight from him this time.
He kept going, so finally Imlie changed her tone , DO IT !!DO IT I LOVE IT!!! KEEP DOING IT!! I WILL KEEP SAYING I LOVE YOU..KILL ME I DONT CARE!I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!" She gritted her teeth and said with all she could.
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP SHUT UP!" He grabbed her jaw coming real close to her face.
"I love you" she replied, the alter started dropping things but seemed her trick worked. Aryan was coming back, his hand were shaking trying to control his one had.
"Aru!!" Imlie called out "You can do this, you are there!!" It took while when finally the demeanor changed to her Aru. It was soft, his eyes had the softness and love. He came running to her and freed her. He hugged her tightly "This is why Imlie, please leave me" he cried. His hand touched her back as she winced in pain. He backed away shocked at what he had done.
"Imlie you will leave from here, far from here to another city. Do not contact me in anyway. Change your number ! Go!" He turned away hating himself for what he had done.
"No! I will fight it with you! I am ready to take all the pain Aryan if it means it can get you to fight! So no ! Plus am married to you, you cannot throw me out nor am going to sign any divorce papers" with that she went upstairs to their room. She dropped on bed and screamed in pillow of the pain she is feeling. Pain of him not understanding her love, is it way of god punishing her for not reciprocating to Vihaan ? Being mean to him?
She felt the bed dipped , he was here sitting edge of bed , "Itna pyar karti ho?" He asked but she didnt reply.
"Main bhi pyar karta hu bohut. But i cant lose you, you cannot live this life with me Imlie. Be practical" he said softly trying to touch her but she pushed her hand away in anger.
"Its my decision!! I want to live this life!! Trust me , i can help you!! You are so infuriating Aru! Thapad mardu tumhe ... get lost for now. Am angry!!" He chuckled, "You are cute when you are angry"
"Whatever" as she sniffled.
He slowly sprawled himself on her, she was crushed underneath him , "Aah what you doing!!"
"Mera boj tumhe de raha hu" he said kissing her neck. "he slightly shifted himself off her so she can look up, now they were tangled in weird position staring at each other.
"Kya hai? Didnt i tell you to get lost" she said angrily
"No just like you wont leave me i wont leave you now. Come here to daddy!" He tried to cheer her up.
She frowned and made a face "EWWWW DADDY !!OYE am not into any kinky stuff get that straight" She sat up and scolded him.
"Ok fine! I was just kidding"he got up and took her hand.
"Lets not fight, we will fight with my disease ok?" He then kissed her before she utters any other nonsense.
They stayed like that talking to each other whole night. Feeling lighter as they talked their hear out. Two lonely burdened soul finally found company in each other arms.
Epilogue :
3 years it took them to finally see his personality shunned away . It was medicine and Imlie's tolerance to torture. She would always give it back to Alter over time Alter started to get weak , his trigger didnt work as before. Aryan would love her and pamper as much she would get tortured. He knew this woman is worth dying for too. She stood there with him through everything , even when he almost killed her.
They didnt want to have child, for it could impact if ever alter comes back. They were happy in their world. Imlie started working again and her dad finally gave his blessings.
