Next morning was the best Imlie has ever felt in last few years..one confession and she felt so light as if a big stone has been removed from her heart.. she snuggled more into her blanket hugging a pillow that laid besides her, it was of Aryan, who had gone to do his morning routine of exercise in his private gym within the house only.

She was busy in her world of thoughts when Aryan entered the room..with hairs all messy and sweaty..his shiny arms were a total distraction for Imlie as she broke out of her fairyland..

"Good morning" Aryan said in a very sweet tone.

"Good morning" replied imlie like a sleepy baby.

He came towards her side of bed and leaned down and gave her a soft forehead kiss while she giggled with her eyes closed.

"Don't you think that after last night I'll let you skip your work or act lazy today..get up..you boss don't like late comers." He said making imlie smile even more and she replied , "yes boss!" Giving a salute which made Aryan laugh.

Both of them got ready and went down stairs. They greeted Narmada maa and Arpita di, and all of them sat on breakfast table.. everything was going normal when Arpita suddenly got up and back hugged imlie who was busy eating her breakfast..making her shocked.

"Di what happened? You alright?" Asked a concerned Imlie while she held Arpita's hand that were wrapped around her neck.

"Thank you Imlie..I don't know what can I say to express how grateful I'm to you for bringing out Arvind's truth.." she said with light sobs

"Di all I did was for my family..you don't have to thank me." Imlie humbly replied while getting up and hugging Arpita properly.

When the broke apart Arpita said again, "You have not only helped Arvind Imlie..you have also helped my brother..now this UNB will be able to find peace and will live happily like our old Aru." She said while giving a sweet smile to Aryan who smiled at her back.

"Not only ABP..Now everyone in this house will live happily and with peace." She said

"Well peace part is quite not possible as you are here..you and peace..polls apart.." Aryan joked.

"Shut up Aru, don't you pull her leg." Said Narmada jokingly giving him a slap and she got up went towards Imlie and Arpita and gave them a hug..

Aryan looked at them and realised that his eyes were moist now, he got up and pulled in three of them in his arms..he was the happiest man at that moment..his whole world was in his arms.. a perfect family hug it was..
When All of them broke apart all were wiping their faces off the tears and were smiling and deep within their mind thanking god for this blissful life..

"Maa we shall for office now." Aryan said while pointing towards Imlie.

"Yes yes! You guys should leave now..I know how punctual my kids are. Have fun." She said smiling.

"Maa! We are going to office not some holiday trip." Said Aryan

"Are!! It's not always leisure time that should be enjoyed..work should be an equally fun activity...anyways Who's stopping you from going to a trip? I mean you can also go there and HAVE FUN." She completed with a laugh and was joined by other two ladies too.

Aryan and Imlie then went towards the car and Imlie noticed that today he was driving his automatic car smoothly while holding her right hand with his left one ..with no rush of reaching office.., "Akkadbagge?"
"Hmm" answered Aryan with eyes on road. "Why are you not driving in that F1 racer mode today? Wanna reach late?"

"Umm well don't worry Aryan Singh Rathore never gets late and as far as  the speed is concerned..I'm enjoying my drive with my lady love..let me feel the moment don't spoil it.." he shushed her in the most cutest way possible..although this lovesick Aryan was totally different from the businessman Aryan Singh Rathore..and Imlie was in love with this shade of him..

When the reached office Aryan was back in form. He entered in the main office area and replied to the staff that was wishing and greeting him and went directly to his cabin while talking to his secretary.

He literally changes his attitude as if he's changing his wrist watch..ohk Imlie..now you also be professional..don't even look at him otherwise you will keep on thinking about last night..thought Imlie.

The confession was really a very big thing for both of them..two souls who were so hopeless to even think that they deserve to be loved were finally showing their love to someone and were being loved back..yes their families loved them but here I mean to be loved ..romantically..

Imlie went to her desk and got busy with her work only to receive a call from her friend MADHAV, from Pagdandiya. He had called her as he was searching for internship in different journalism companies and also requested Imlie if she could arrange an interview for him in Bhaskar Times. He mailed her his resume and she printed it out.
Imlie couldn't say No to him as since childhood she had known him as a very hardworking boy who never gets afraid of facing problems..she knew that he has the potential to be a very good journalist but she was a bit scared to talk to Aryan as in her entire life she had never recommended someone like this.

She went to Aryan's cabin but couldn't see what he was doing as the blinds were shut. She knocked the door, when he allowed she entered in and asked, "free for a moment?"

"Yeah I am..come on in be seated." Aryan replied while keeping his iPad down.

Imlie came in and settled. She sag on the chair in front of his desk and nervousness was written all over her face. She held tightly on the edge of file that she was holding that had Madhav's resume inside it.

"What is it Imlie? Why are you looking so tensed?" Concerned Aryan asked.

"Woh..actually I want to ask about something but I'm a  bit nervous." She accepted

"Imlie..there's nothing that should make you feel nervous or anxious while talking to me..just say it, what happened? I'm listening." Aryan assured her in slow voice to calm her down.

"Woh Aryan..I'm here to recommend someone to you..I know it's not good thing to use your friends contacts or something but please don't judge him regarding this thing..he is really hardworking when it comes to work..please can you give him a chance to prove himself..he will surely impress you in one go..I know you always boosts the ones who are willing to work and always provides the deserving with a chance.." Imlie said without a break.

"Ohk ohk motormouth..relax..I will meet that person but before that you will have to tell me who exactly that person is?" Aryan said with raised eyes and a smirk..Imlie realised that in all this she forgot the main thing..who exactly was the person she was talking about..

"He is my childhood friend from Pagdandiya Aryan..his name is Madhav..he was the one who first told be about journalism and you know from where i got its in depth knowledge." She told him passing on his resume to him.

"Hmm it looks fine..and rest I will decide when I will meet him. Ask him to come tomorrow morning at 12pm..sharp." He said

"Thank you! Thank you soo much Aryan." Imlie said excitedly..while Aryan got up from his chair and went towards her..he placed his hands on both the hand rest of her chair and pulled it towards him..leaving no space for her to escape..

"Aryan! We are in office right?" Said Imlie as she could feel her heart beating like a drum inside her chest due to this proximity..

"Hmm..I know that..well don't you think I deserve just a small amount of appreciation?" Aryan said in a seductive voice.

"I always appreciate you Aryan!" She hesitated

"Not that way stupid." His husky voice continued
As he leaned down to place a kiss on her lips but stopped when he noticed her super shy expressions and closed eyes..he smiled and changed his direction and placed a soft kiss on upper right side of her chin,almost touching her lips..

Imlie slowly opened her eyes and saw Aryan's face though the distance between their faces had widened but still she was able to feel his breath touching her.

He finally said "don't worry.. our fist kiss can't be like this..that moment would be just ours, without any risk of anyone else's intervention..I promise." he completed with a wink..

Making Imlie blush..she felt butterflies in her tommy and felt her heart continuing its thumping..she was so shy that she wanted to go and dug a deep pit and hid into it but she couldn't leave as Aryan had blocked her way..
He was continuously staring at her with a smile, noticing all her antics, making her blush even more harder.. he said again, "you look so pretty when you blush." And she was all smiles..she placed actually dropped her head on his shoulder as if trying to hide herself..this made Aryan chuckle and he placed his one hand on her back and gave her few gentle pats..

"Ok fine I won't tease you now..go back to your work." Aryan said..Imlie raised her head again and he backed off..he could see that she was getting normal..

She got up went towards him, placed her right hand on his left cheek and said, "I would love to know your way of appreciating ..There are truly many things you deserve to get appreciated for." She completed with a wink and a gentle caress on his cheek and left with a broad smile..
