"Oh come on, first time nahi dekh rahi ho jo ese react kar rahi ho" aryan says rolling his eyes at imlie 

"First time? Imlie ne tujhe aur kab bina shirt ke dekh liya?" A voice asks as they freeze

"Di...didi aap..aur kaki aap...?" Imlie asks with her eyes wide seeing arpita and narmada standing 

"Han mai, mera hi ghar h. Check karne aai thi kapde theek h ki nahi. Par ye batao tumne aru ko ese kab dekh liya?" Arpi asks

Ughh she wasn't going to leave that topic 

"Aree didi wo gaon me the tab shirt geela ho gaya tha..." aryan says

"Imlie ke samne?!" Maa asks

"Issi ne kiya tha-" shit aryan bites his tongue 

"To tumne pahle kiya tha na !" Imlie says

"Aru mana ki tujhe holi pasand h, par tu interview lene gaya tha ye ye sab karne?"

"Tch di esa nahi h" 

"Mujhe clearly bata...imlie tum bolo, mera beta to jhoot bolne me expert h!" 

Imlie looks at aryan who shrugged his shoulder 

"Dekhiye, hua ye tha ki hum paida ja rahe the...aur ee apni lambi gadi me tha..aur uu se keechad hamar upar aagaya, uske baad ee humse ladne laga aur phir pani dal diya ! Hum pure bheeg gaye to ghar wapas gaye, phir interview ke liye gaye to pta chala ye hi aaye h. Aur to aur ee ne interview lene se bhi mana kar diya tha! " 

"Aacha phir kya hua?" Arpi asks 

"Kuch nahi di, mausam kharab tha isliye imlie mujhe apne ghar le gai aur eyes me dhool chali gai thi to isne pura mug pani dal diya mere upar. Bass itni hi baat thi" aryan says lying conveniently 

"Par ek sec-" apri says as imlie cuts her

"Par var kuch nhi, humara chutti ka din h aaj. Boss babu se door rahne do humka!" Imlie says dragging aprita out 

Aryan takes a deep breath remembering how he lost control 

Aryan get hold of yourself! Imlie teri kuch nahi h...usse distance maintain kar tu! What if she was looking pretty huh don't  forget She's just an innocent kid aryan! Par tu nahi h ! Kya teenager type behave kar raha h Keep your hormones in check ! He mentally scolds himself 

"Aru...tu theek h na?

"Han...han maa mai theek hu.."

"To lunch karle chal" 

Aryan hears his sister and imlie laughing loudly at something . These two women were happy there. He didn't want to ruin it with his gloomy self 

"Nahi maa, bhook nahi h. Aap log kha lo" aryan says and leaves 


"Kaki uu nahi aaya?" Imlie asks noticing aryan's absence 

"Uu kon? Aru?" 

Imlie nods 

"Usne bola bhook nahi h, baad me de dungi usse tu chinta mat kar" narmada assures her

"Par...aacha theek h.." imlie stops herself from stepping on any boundaries 

"Maa wo mai dawai khana bhul gai,  khane ke pahle ki h...mai 2 minute me aati hu" apri excuses herself and leaves

"Tujhse ek baat puchu?" Narmada asks wanting to let out her question revolving in her mind from long

"Aree bilkul!"

"Tujhe uski baato ka bura nahi lagta?" Narmada asks imlie

"Huh? Kiski? Aprita didi to bohat aachi h!"
