Chap 25 - Wedding

Neelam had minor heart attack, she was still in ICU. Aryan was pacing in the hospital. He knew what he had to do. Yesterday lot of things happened, he wanted to burst out. Then he found out his mom fell down, that triggered everything since morning. He has this deep anger towards Imlie. She been telling lies and hiding things. He was in rage, he wanted to tear and break everything. But because right now he was in hospital he kept his calm.

He went inside, his dad face filled with tension and worry for his wife.
"Dad she is ok"
"I know beta. Aaj shaadi hai" he looked at him
"Yes and I am going to do the wedding dad"
"What? But -"
"I know what you are thinking, but aaj shaadi hogi. You take care of Mom. I have to go take care of somethings" he kissed his mom forehead and left.

Meanwhile, Imlie laid against the door sleeping and waiting for any news. She woke up, and saw the time.
Wedding was just in few hours, and she had no idea whata going on outside this door. She went to take shower and freshen up. She half heartedly removed the pink lehanga.

She waited another hour, her mind was full of tension . Nobody was picking her call, she gave up and got dressed not knowing that Aryan is ever going to come and get her. She sat there staring in space with tears rolling, just then door banged open.

Aryan looked handsome, when she looked up. He looked like a greek god. Cream sherwani suited him, Imlie got up and rushed to him "Mom how is she?" She asked trying look behind the door.

Aryan just stared at her " You love me right? All these years"
When Imlie heard that from his mouth, she stood there frozen, eyes wide.
Blood drained from her face ,Aryan grabbed her hand when she didnt reply. His grip was really hard, it was hurting Imlie but she just started at him. Still stunned what he just said.

Tears formed, she was scared all kind of thoughts running in her mind. Is he going to end friendship? Does he think am responsible for mom health? Where is Mom? Is he throwing me out of his life? She snapped out of her thought when she came to the garden where the mandap was. It was a pandit there, and Sona with her parents inside the mandap. No guests. She looked around. Mom and Uncle were missing too. Vishu came running from the gate "Aryan dont-" Aryan pushed him when he tried t0 stop.

Imlie mustered up courage and asked "Aryan leave my hand! Where is mom? Where is she? Please am getting worried" Aryan didnt say anything and pushed her next to Sona. He removed his gun, everybody gasped.

"Pandit, start your mantras and aap log" Looking at Sona mom and Dad " Step out of mandap"

Sona told them to step out, while she stayed next to Imlie. Sona had victory dance in her mind, Aryan was going to get married to her infront of Imlie. Oh the jalan, and heartbreak, she looked towards Imlie with despite.

Where as Imlie was now shaking, she has never seen him in this roop. "Bethye jajmaan"
"Hum khade rahenge" Aryan replied showing his gun again.
Pandit scared for his life, started mantras
"Fast" Aryan barked loudly.
Imlie flinched, not sure whats going to happen.

Then the unexpected happen, he pushed Sona and grabbed Imlie next to him. It was time for pehras, tied his sherwani dupatta with Imlie's.

"What are you doing?" Imlie finally yelled
"You love me right?" he asked her again
Imlie didnt say anything "Chup chap ye shaadi karo. Tumhe mein dikhata hu humara rishta kya hai" He said with no expression.
He started pheras, while Imlie was just stunned again.
She had no energy after yesterday to fight also.
He removed mangalsutra and put it around her neck. And laced her with sindoor, so much so that her whole nose was now red.

"Shaadi sanpan hui" Aryan grabbed her again by hand.

Sona and her parents kept yelling and shouting but his bodyguards came and took them somewhere.
"What did you do Aryan? You don't love me??? Then why this??? Kya hua hai?? Tell me please??? Mom kaha hai???" Aryan didnt answer her.

He took her to his room, and pushed her in locking the door.
"Not a word from your mouth" he kept a finger on her lips.
"Mom is fine. She has minor attack"
"What??? I want to see her please ... wait ... did you do all this because you think am responsible for Mom health? Then please its nothing like that.. I—-"

"JUST SHUT UP!!!! I DONT THINK YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE! GET THAT STRAIGHT! BUT YES AM ANGRY IMLIE VERY ANGRY!!! ANGRY THE THINGS YOU HAVE BEEN HIDING FROME ME!! ANGRY ALL THESE YEARS YOU BEEN LOVE WITH ME BUT YOU WERE READY TO THROW ME TO SONA!!! AM ANGRY AT YOU FOR TAKING ME AS A SHALLOW!!!

YOU WILL NOT GET MY LOVE IMLIE YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT, WAIT AND WATCH! NAFRAT BHARI MOHABBAAT MUBARAK HO!" Aryan had finally brought his rage out, he was yelling right infront of face. He then grabbed her face, and kept his lips on her. He bit her lips hard showing how angry he is. He then pushed her on bed "Pack your bag , you have five minutes. If you dont come, then forget seeing Mom ever"

He then left her without giving a glance towards her. Imlie dropped on her kneeds, she couldnt believe what she heard. It was too much for her, lot of thoughts running in her mind. "Nafrat bhari mohabbat? That means he loves" She touched her lips "Aah" it pained her. She looked at her finger there was little blood.
"Main kya karu??? I dont understand anything!!! " She screamed in frustration, then her phone rang.
"I told you 5 minutes, you have two minutes come!!" Imlie got up with the lehange still on her and packed the clothes she grabbed. She ran down the stairs, her face was a mess. Sindoor tears she looked like manjulika, her life had become horror in just one night.

Aryan sat in car while Imlie sat on passenger seat.
"Where are we going? Mom ?"
"You dont talk anymore to me" He said in cold voice
"Par-"
"I am not your Rui anymore " he made it clear.
She zipped her mouth, and looked out of window. They arrived at a farmhouse.
