AryLie Drabbles (and Short O/Ss)

Aryan Vs. Aru, Imlie Vs. Imaliya

Takes place after Purandas Pardafash, after Imlie arrives back in the Rathore Mansion.

This One, is a Re-Imagination of a Conversation that was Silently Present between Aryan and Imlie - what if their alter-egos had voiced it out ?

****************************

"Why did You come back, Imlie ?"

They were sitting near the window, supporting each others's backs - the same way they had travelled to Pagdandiya atop the Bus.

They seem to have shielded each other's backs for quite some time, now.

"Why did You leave me there with Him ?"

"You First."

"You First."

"Because...."

"Because...."

Aryan Singh Rathore Vs ARU :

His Heart - that stupid alter-ego Aru - screamed at Him to bare himself to Her.

Aru resided royally in a tiny corner of His Brain, to where Aryan had pushed him to, 4 Years ago.

Unlike Aryan, Aru would have never shied away from taking Imlie into his arms and proclaiming what He felt for her.

That's right, Aru was a little selfish like that.

He would never ever push Imlie to accept or reciprocate. But He would also never think twice about burdening her with the consuming intensity of his feelings as well.

And right now, with Jiju getting Justice, Aru had broken free from that tiny corner, and was in every cell, every tip of His Body.

Aru : 'Abey Gadhe ! Tumse nahi ho payega.'

Aryan : 'Shut Up.'

Aru : 'Abey we would not be burdening her with what we feel ! But delaying saying it will definitely burden both her and us !'

Aryan : 'What is this 'us' ? You are Me. I am You.'

Aru : 'Bingo. Then say what you feel ! What's stopping you ?'

Aryan : 'She... was hurt once.'

Aru : 'Aaaannnddd yet, today, you pushed her to the same person who hurt her. Why did you do that, Idiot ?'

Aryan : 'I hurt her more. She had leaned on me for support, and I broke her by coercing her choice. I couldn't bear to see her waste her life away by solving their problems - yet, look where She ended up ? Hands that should be holding a Reporter's Mic and collecting awards - Oh sure, She did exactly that today - those hands were holding a bomb today ! What changed for Her since we went to capture Aatank and Today ? Nothing ! Rather, have pushed her more into harm's way. I don't deserve her. Or rather, She deserves better.'

Aru : 'Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. That is a large ass paragraph for 'I would fight Herself to keep Her out of harm's way - and I would fight myself if my actions hurt her. This one can be shortened to 'I am in Love with Her.''

Aryan : 'Love ? No way. You are, I am Not.'

Aru : 'Same Same.'

Aryan : 'I hate you.'

Aru : 'Same Same.'

Aryan : 'Damn it. Just crawl back to the corner where you have always been ! Let me be in peace.'

Aru : 'Buddy, if you truly need Peace, then I can not remain in that corner. You are just afraid.'

Aryan : 'I AM ARYAN SINGH RATHORE. I am Not afraid of anything.'
