Chap 17- Silence

Actually that night of fashion show, Mr Satya was wearing shirt when suddenly he felt pain in his left hand. The pain kept increasing, he tried to take support of the chair nearby but before he could reach he dropped on floor. Luckily, he had called the maid to cook for them tonight. She heard a loud thud and found him on the floor.

Imlie sat there as Aryan told her what happen one week ago. Imlie been just in her dad room since then. She didnt say word to anyone, she would not eat. Everyday Aryan was the only one who could force food in her mouth.
"Eat" he ordered
"Am not hungry" she said with no emotion as usual her dialogue for one week.
Aryan ignored and sat next to her, he took piece of roti and sabzi  forced her mouth open with other hand and made her eat. Imlie just sat there chewing the food,

Aryan was talking something about college, Sona had also come to meet her. She was angry that Aryan had left her stranded at the dinner table. She didnt care however much the emergency was , he should have come to her. Her ego was hurt, but she had pressed it down for now. She felt hatred for Imlie, she felt for some reason or another Aryan always keep Imlie prior to her.

She faked sympathize with her, showed some few crocodile tears and left. She tried taking Aryan with her, convincing him to give Imlie space. But Aryan shouted at her and told her that his Dil needed him and no matter what he wont live her side. He didnt want to hear a word. So Sona left without saying anytning, she didnt want to jepordize her relationship .

"Are you listening Dil? Come on two months left. We have to prepare for our finals. Raahi also waiting for you to come back to the blog, your fans are waiting. " He squeezed her hand
"Hm" is all Imlie said

"Dil please, we all are here for you. I can never know how you feeling but am here right here. See Mom is crying everyday. She cannot see you like this, when you dont eat, she stops too. Please not for us for Mom please Dil." He turned her face towards him. He looked in her eyes, "Please, cry if you want but dont be silent. This will only hurt you. Am sure Uncle is not happy because look at you. You have become dull, he always told me that his happiness lied in your smile. Whenever i came to house to pick you up, he always told me to take care of you, he always told me whenever we fought to forgive you. Please Dil, for dad slowly come back to normal routine. You will fall, you will get lost but I am right here " he caressed her hair. Imlie kept her silnce and laid her head on his lap.

She closed his eyes, one tear slipped. Aryan kept the dish aside and caressed her head. He didnt say anything further. Their silence was their sukoon. More tears started slipping, but she didnt make any noise. She silently wept for her dad. Her dad was the motherc, father and her friend. Her confidante. All the scenes from her childhood to now started coming infront of her eyes. She kept her eyes closed, tears were now free.

Aryan felt relieved , he didnt stop her. He just caressed her head as she let it out silently. He kissed her temple and finally Imlie went to sleep. He picked her up, and propely placed her on bed. He covered her and went outside. Vishu and Rohan were sitting outside waiting on Aryan. They all three been staying at Imlie house since past week. They were scared Imlie would harm herself as she still was in shock. They know Imlie was strong but they loved her too much and fear was obvious.

"She is fine guys, she cried finally" Rohan and Vishu took a big sigh.

They all sat for dinner and went to sleep.
