Chap 24- Silent Treatment

Note: little messy chap😌

Imlie came home late night, she had an excuse ready when arrived. But she didnt expect, Aryan sitting on her bed working on laptop.

He glared at her, his eyes were red " He got up and went on sofa"
"You here? Sorry I missed the main part. Actually my roommate from NY has come to city and she called me for emergency. She is new here, she had small accident in rickshaw, so i rushed to her hospital. Her family is in Shimla she has nobody here." She kept explaining, but only she knew she was guilty.

"Hm" he said. She saw his hand, she rushed towards him.
She took his hand but he took it away from her.
"Tch... how it happened?"
He got up  leaving her room without saying any word, making sure he bangs the door shut loudly to tell her how upset he is with her.

She took a deep sigh, and removed her dupatta and dropped on bed staring at celing.
Her door opened again, she looked and it was Aryan.
"You are fucking selfish!" He went back out again banging the door, Imlie just stood there with weird expression "Isko kya hogaya?"

He came back again, Imlie started giggling at his antics
"Dont you dare fucking laugh Dil! If you are not present for rest of ceremonies , then you can believe that this friendship is over" He came real close to her face, he was red . Imlie just blinked at him first time scared of him.

He tapped her head hard and left the room banging again.
Imlie just stood with questions on her face, unaware why was he behaving this way.
She was tired emotionally today, she decided to talk to him tomorrow, she went to bed crying again.

Next two days mehandi and sangeet went by, Aryan was giving silent treatment to Imlie. Imlie felt bad but she knew this also helped herself keeping her emotions on bay. But the night before the wedding was going to being toofan in their life and change their lives forever.

Imlie was in her room when Neelam entered . She had serious look on her face but she didnt look well.
Imlie noticed it, "Mom whats wrong?"
"I dont want Sona as my bahu. Please tell him you love him am sure he will consider."
"Mom what are you saying?? Why today? Please mom, i love him yes but i dont think he does. Look at me mom" referring to her physical appearance.
"There is nothing wrong with you, you are beautiful. I dont like Sona, please"
"Why mom all of sudden , first of all sit down"l. You dont look well"
"Please dont let Sona marry my son"
"Mom try to understand-"before she could continue Neelam interuppted "I heard her and her friends yesterday at sangeet. They dont have such relationship, she said she is happy with the power and status. She is doing it for money."
"What?!" Imlie could not believe what she heard
"Please trust me" Neelam started taking deep breaths, just then a claps were heard. They both look towards the door.

It was Sona. "Wow , so yeh planning chal rahi hai Sasu ma?" She said with harsh tone.
"How can you talk to mom like that?" Imlie said calmly.
"I can and I will. Listen , i had come here to see Aryan before wedding. But then I eavesdropped and what did i hear? Hmm? You always loved Aryan didnt you ? I knew it" She said with disgust. Imlie still couldnt believe all these years Sona had a mask.

"I am warning you both, dont you dare come between me and Aryan. I will destroy you both, Sasuma aap to jaante haina Aryan ko pata chalega kya khichdi pak rahi hai kitna gussa ayega? Hmm?"

"My son will never trust you" Neelam try to raise her voice but she started having pain. Suddenly she dropped on the floor. Imlie turned around, trying to take care of Neelam. Sona just stood there, suddenly she started crying and ran from the room.

Imlie didnt bother, she somehow picked Neelam and laid her on bed. She called the doctor to come to Singh Mansion.  "Mom please wake up" She tapped her cheeks, Imlie was getting worried.

Just then her room door opened again "MOM!" It was Aryan, he rushed and picked her Mom up.

"Rui-"
"Just shut up! Because of you ..." Imlie looked at him skeptically.
"Baby" Sona came back crying , Aryan turned around and glared at Imlie.
"Stay in this room until tomorrow" he said in very cold voice that made fear ran in Imlie's body.

He took Neelam, and locked the door from outside.

"Open please, listen to me" Imlie was stunned . Just in one hour everything changed. The look Aryan gave her, broke her again. He looked at her suspiciously as if Imlie was the reason of Neelam situation.
She sat against the door, "Mom please be ok" she prayed to god.
