Sleep what exactly it is?? Imlie was wide awake at around 2:30 am in the morning and had a sleepless night all because of the guy who slept peacefully on the couch. Their marriage wasn't a force one (here) but an arranged one by their families so they slept that way to maintain their comfort level. Imlie was glancing at him as if all her answers were written all over his face.

She was not doing it on purpose but her brain was forcing her to see the difference between her ex and her current husband, they were insanely different from each other. A total contrast of personalities, Attitude, and must mention thought process.

Aryan was way more mature or should she say understanding or let's say open minded as compared to Aditya Kumar Tripathi.
When it comes to comparing both of them Imlie could write a whole page over it or even more. No she was not praising her husband..or was she?

Ohh god!! This man was taking away all her sanity with his deeds.

The difference spoke of itself as a parallel was drawn in her mind between two scenarios of her life one was the time when Aditya doubted her when he saw her with Aryan and second was today..she meant yesterday...

when both of them had to go to the Tripathi house on Aparna's instance for her Pagfera rasam, from which she was a bit reluctant to perform knowing that Aditya would be present their, and also that the presence of Aryan and Aditya under one roof would mean the bomb could explode anytime.

When everything was going smoothly and when she saw that Aryan was busy talking to Pankaj she took her time and sneaked out to talk to Aditya to gather more information regarding the Rathore mill case, as she wanted Aryan to stop living with this hatred and live happily (she didn't know why but she wanted Rathores specially Aryan to be happy, may be because the deserved it the most).

"I want the documents of the research that you did while you were covering Rathore mills case that lead to Arvind Jiju's death." Asked Imlie politely with an excuse of writing an article on that case just to show the world that Arvind jiju was innocent.

(Here)Aditya is as irritating as he is in the show and yes he is super jealous of Aryan and Imlie being together as he wished if she could oblige to return to him. He was indeed super annoyed by the fact that Imlie was so hard just to prove the innocence of the Rathore's late son in law.

"You are way too good Imlie. You know you are doing soo much for someone who's death should not have even bothered you." Said Aditya abruptly much to Imlie's annoyance. This man was again and again testing her patience that she was loosing with each passing time. She was only bearing this nonsense just because she wanted to gather proofs of Jiju's innocence. So tried to remain calm and answered, "Listen Aditya sir, I'm here only as a journalist who wants to gather enough evidence to support her article that's it. If you can not provide me with that then I shall find some other way."

Aditya was annoyed to the core as he felt this coldness in her voice, but once again he said, "yes i have some documents left with me but i just want answer to one question of mine, Do you know that Aryan wants revenge against me as he thinks I'm in a way or two responsible for Mr. Arvind's death?"

Imlie was so done now but she wanted those docs at any cost, "I have already told you this before, I'm here only as a journalist, nothing else. And about the revenge thing..it's all between you both, why do you all always drag me in your fights?" The annoyance and rage was clearly visible in her voice as well as eyes.

Aditya replied while moving towards his shelf that looked like a mini library, "So now you are not interested in even helping me out of this situation? Ahh..although it hurts really bad to know that you are living with someone who considers me as his enemy..and here I'm helping you in gathering proofs."

He came back and handed over a bunch of sheets to Imlie. She had just checking those sheets out when Aryan's entered the room, not knowing that Aditya was also there. He said, "Imlie it's almost time we should.." and his eyes fell on Aditya.

Aditya had a smirk on his face as if soon he's going to burst out laughing at the turn of events..there was a time when they were in similar kind of situation , the only difference being the flip of positions of Aryan and his.

Aryan stood there only holding on the knob of the door when he continued while looking towards Imlie, "we should leave now, but if you are in middle of something important then I can wait in car."

Imlie had nodded a bit and was about to say something when Aditya interrupted, "Don't you feel insecure Mr. Rathore I and Imlie were just.."

Before he could complete Aryan spoke up, "Insecure and me?? Don't joke around Mr. Tripathi, My trust is not a piece of glass that will shatter just like that. My trust on wife is rock solid and I need not ask for any kind of explanation from my wife. And you Mr. Tripathi don't have to take so much pressure of explaining things." He spoke with a smirk and then turned to Imlie to remind her again, "I'll be waiting in car, complete your work and then come."

And he went straight out to his car.

Imlie was shocked at the turn of events and was astonished to see the level of trust that Aryan had on her. She ran after her him leaving behind a fuming Aditya. She didn't even bothered to thank Aditya for his help, though it was not a good thing to do she thought, but at that time her main focus was on her husband.

She went straight after him and got seated on passenger side seat while Aryan was on driver's side.
He asked in soft but confused voice, "I told you, that you can take your time but still you came running behind, may I know the reason?"
With this a tear rolled Imlie's eye and Aryan was shocked as he felt it was because of him that she's crying, yes it was him, but in a good way.

"Imlie..Areee why are you crying? Did I said something wrong? Did that Aditya said something? What happened..please say naa..why are you crying?" He showered her with so many questions in his stress.

"It's not because of him, It's because of you! Are you really not angry, that I was with him? You are messing with my brain!!How can someone be so understanding and can have so much trust over someone?" Imlie spoke after trying so heard while crying.

Aryan now got full picture of it, he also felt a bit sympathetic towards Imlie that in her entire life she's always been subjected to doubts and questions, he thought that no one has ever shown their full faith in her without asking anything. She's not at all used to this but he knew that Imlie deserves every bit of his trust, respect and love..umm not love..let the third one be udhaar for now.

He finally broke his silence in a hope to make his wife stop crying, "Imlie..look at me (while putting his hand on her jaws and his thumb on her chin, he turned her face towards him) ..listen now stop crying ok? There's nothing to cry for, and as far as your question about my trust on you is concerned, you don't have to worry about it, I promise you that in future, In any kind of situation it may be, I'll always have same kind of trust on you." While he cupped her face with one hand.

"Don't you wanna ask about what was the work that I was doing with him?" Asked Imlie while looking directly into deep dark brown eyes of Aryan with her red teary eyes.

Aryan took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice as calm as possible so it can make Imlie relax down a bit, "Imlie you are my wife, not any private property of mine, who someone have to ask for permission first to talk to. You are an independent women Imlie, you are free to do anything you want, you have so many friends and colleagues who are male, and to be honest I include Aditya in that category only. I don't mind you talking and working with him, it's as common as you with any other man. Why would I doubt you by creating a special category for Aditya?? Come on I'm Aryan Singh Rathore, not some TV series jealous male lead." He completed with a very small smile. This last sentence made Imlie smile a bit with her watery eyes now getting a bit better.

And with that he held Imlie with one of his hand on her shoulder and clutching it, "Have i ever questioned you before?" To which Imlie replied with a No "then? Why do you think I'll question you now? Imlie no one in this world have the right to question your character or your dignity. Not even me. Understood? I don't know what you are habitual to but now you are Mrs. Rathore and you have to maintain that regality of yours..even in front of me, Never ever answer to anyone who questions your ways Imlie, remember that."

These words were still doing rounds in Imlie's mind messing up her emotional cycle. She could feel the difference in her life..
Did she really got lucky this time? Was she really being trusted without any questions asked? Soo does that mean now she don't have to give clarifications to prove her innocence?? Will he trust her when she tells him anything at one go??

Poor girl still had the trauma of her past marriage buried deep in her mind and soul..but Aryan came as a healer in her life..
