It's been two days that Imlie had come back with Aditya on Holi. Instead of being happy, our serious patrakar Mr. Aditya seems to be pissed at everyone in his house, specially "Sundar". If looks can kill someone, then Sundar would have died many times.

Flashback

On the day of Holi, when Imlie was welcomed by everyone with a cheerful song and hugged each of them one by one.

"Imlie ke wapis ajane se sab kitne khush hai."
Aditya thought as he looked at the cheerful faces of his family. Then he looked at Sundar who was dancing at Imlie's song and when she stopped singing, Sundar hugged her and told her that how much he missed her.

"Jhalli! Humne tujhe bohot miss kiya! Said Sundar and hugged her tight. Aditya didn't seemed to get affected but when his family goes on matchmaking for Imlie and Sundar as a couple leaving Aditya shocked and angry. The look on Sundar's face and his shy smile added fire in his envy.

"Ye Sundar ese kyu muskura raha hai jese ki humari family ne uske mann ki baat keh di ho, kahi Sundar Imlie ko pasand toh...

Nhi nhi! Esa nhi ho skta! Lekin agar esa hua, hume kuch krna hoga."

Flashback Ends

Present

Now sitting in the hall with his family members, Aditya was looking at Sundar and Imlie's bonding. He observes that how comfortably Imlie whispers in his ears and how easily she puts her hands on his shoulders and most importantly, how openly she laughs with him. She was never this comfortable with him.

"Your rudeness never allowed her to get comfortable with you."
His mind mocked him and he sighed in frustration. "Imlie", he called her name in frustration and She including everyone looked at him perplexed.

"Woh!! Mujhe yaad aaya! Tumhari Amma ka phone aaya tha, toh phone mere kamre main hai toh tum chlo saath main call lgakar dedunga.  Unse baat krlena aur main apna kaam krlunga." said Aditya while moving to his room and Imlie followed him.

They have reached in the halfway of his room when Aditya pulled Imlie at the backside of their terrace. "Babusaheb! Ee ka karat ho! Konu dekhlega" Imlie shrieked and looked at him with a shock.
"Dekhlene do!! Hume koi faraq nhi padta hai." Said Aditya while taking her hands into his. His hold on her hand was soft yet firm. Imlie looked at him and she realised that something is wrong with him.

"Babusaheb! Aap theek hai? Kya hua apko? , She asked him in her soft voice and he looked at her. Her eyes! Her brown doe shaped eyes which held concern for him made Aditya realised that it's impossible to not to fall in love with her. He was lost. He observed her face which was devoid of any makeup but still look so beautiful. Her eyes decorated with kohl, her hair tied in loose braid and some strands falling on her face.

"Imlie! Tumse toh kisiko bhi pyaar ho jaaye." a thought crossed his mind and the volcano of fire surges in him.

"Tum uss sundar se door raha kro Imlie.", said Aditya and his hands moved to her face and holding her face softly, he continued, "Humse nhi dekha jaata jab tum uske saath hasti ho!", His eyes were shining with pure jealousy that why she doesn't laugh with him like she does with Sundar.

Imlie looked at him, his hands on her cheeks evoked her usual emotion sickness and butterflies hit her stomach. She kept her hands above his hands and pressed them slightly and she asked "Kyu? Babusaheb!"

"Imlie! Hum tumse pyaar krte hai, tumhe Sundar toh kya kisi aur admi ke saath dekh bhi le! Toh khoon khaulane lgta hai." confessed Aditya without any hesitation.

"Tumhe pta hai Imlie, jabse tumse pyaar hua hai, toh humesha ek darr lga rehta hai ki agar tumhe humse kisine cheen liya toh. Humne tumhare saath bohot galat kiya aur tum humse ek behtar insaan deserve krti ho! Lekin phir bhi....", He stopped and he came closer to her and joined her forehead with his and with his closed eyes, he said,
"Hum tumhe kisi aur ka hote huye nhi dekh paayenge. Hum tumhare jitne strong nhi hai Imlie." and he closed his eyes and a tear escaped his eyes and in reflex, Imlie hold his face and made him looked at her.

"Babusaheb! Dekhiye humari aur!" and obediently he looked at her. His tears were flowing continuesly, just a mere thought of Imlie with someone else filled Aditya with the fear of loosing her. Now he realised the intensity of pain Imlie has gone through whenever she looked him and Malini together. Imlie understood that what her Babusaheb would be thinking and without any thought, she took him in her arms.

She lifted herself to his height and moved her arms around his neck and hugged him. While his hands finds their way to her waist and he hugged her tightly as if his life was dependent on it. He broke down in her arms. His jealousy was now turned into the guilt when realisation hit him.

"Shh!! Babusaheb! Chup ho jaaiye!! Aap jo sochat ho hum jaanat hai, lekin apko khud ko dosh dene ki konu zaroorat nhi hai!! Wo sab halaat bure the, lekin aaj halaat alag hai, hum apke pass hai aur hum kahi nhi jaayenge kabhi nhi jaayenge. Humne apse phle bhi kaha tha ki hum ab aur kisike na ho sakat. Hum humesha apki hi suhaagan rahenge chahe aap humare ho ya nhi." said Imlie and assured him again & again that he will never lose her.

They remained in that hug for a while and soon Aditya realised their position and he came out of her arms and instantly he missed her warmth. Imlie looked at him asking him "Is he okay?", He nodded his head in a yes.

"Wese hume nhi maalum tha!! Ki ie Shehri Langoor rote huye bilkul bache lagat hai." said Imlie with a teasing smile playing on her lips and Aditya looked at her amusingly and blush spread on his face.

"Achaa!" said Aditya and he put his both hands on the wall with Imlie between them, in short he caged her. "Aur kya kya lgte hum tumko?"

"Woh! Woh kuch nahi! Babusaheb humko jaane do! Konu aajayega.", Imlie fumbled as her emotion sickness hit her. Aditya smiled at her

"Jhalli!"
Aditya whispered in her ears affectionately and moved his hands behind setting her free and she flew away from there with a blush on her face leaving a smiling Aditya behind.
