Kaun Mera (On Hold)

9. Holi

Heeelllooo? Missed me? missed me?! Revise if you forgot what had happened before starting 😂

Aryan's pov 

It's been 20 days and imlie has been behaving WEIRD.  I mean she's weird on normal basis but not that kind. Her cast came off 3 days ago and she was walking now with help of walker .

 Yet she would lean on him for support . Before that when he would carry her, she would wrap her arms around him comfortably.  And not like the stiff stick she was earlier 

She would steal glaces at me while eating food. Which was my job btw, hence leading to awkward eye contacts. Then she would look down and BLUSH

She would flinch at every little touch and BLUSH. I mean she was the one who violated me privacy like hell ! 

When i would return she'll talk to me, about work, about my day and cared about me.

It almost felt like we got married.  Which we would have if that accident hadn't happened 

But then again. Imlie would have hated me. She still will after her memories return . I was living in an illusion.  And in the end, I'll be the one left alone and hurt. Imlie would return to tripathi's . Probably marry that asshole again

And for that reason.  I've given up my revenge.  If imlie will be a part of his life,causing him pain would make things hard for imlie. And i want the best for her. She's suffer a lot. It was her chance to live in comfort.  

A chance i wanted to give her. But if not directly I'll do it indirectly 

Jiju was already dead. Didi and Maa have already suffered.  I was not aditya kumar tripathi. And i won't let another wife get that pain. Specially if it's going to be imlie

I do not want to be hated by imlie. I want her to enjoy,  to cherish our memories while it lasts. 

I was done being ARYAN SINGH RATHORE. It was time to go back to being the aru my maa and di yearned for. The one that was loveable...,maybe by imlie too...

"ARUU KAMRE SE NIKAL !" di shouts banging on the door.  It was Holi today

I haven't played holi since jiju died. Di tried every year. Gave up every year too

I hated myself for the pain i have given her

This time i slightly open the door as i could her di gasping 

Di kicks open the door, with a big smile and cokors in her hand

"Aaj tu nahi bachega aru ! Imma color you first!" 

I smile at her, pointing a finger up as a bucket full of water falls on her washing the colors from her fist

"ARYAN SINGH RATHORE YOU DID NOT-!!" 

"Kya hua di?! Khola darwaja?!" I could see imlie coming out of her hiding space hopping with colors in her fists too

"Color laga isse jaldiii !" Di shouts as i jump running away 

Di runs behind me in circles as i see imlie smiling walking slowing

Within a fraction of second i see her walker slipping on water as i run to her holding her. Colors fly around as my hand places itself on her lower back holding her for support 

Imlie looks at me smiling with a spark in her eyes

She takes her hands to my cheek applying color, as her hand caress my beard for a while unconsciously 

"Happy Holi ABP" she says in a soft voice,  almost seductive enough to send chills through my spine 

I see di tipping back quietly leaving us alone.  I know she'll kill us teasing.  Yet i was thankful she let us alone
