chapter 4- Collide

That night Imlie was preoccupied with Uncle proposal. She still had ample of questions but that she believed will answer itself as time goes.

Some Uncle might help her. The question is, is she ready for this. Is she ready to date someone? Or let herself open to someone?

How will the other person react?How can she approach this situation? How bad its going to be?

Plus she will experience dating. She have seen in movies and series its an interesting concept. In her life she was always forced, but now the time and herself 

have changed. She is the woman not to mess with, not to taken lightly with some vulnerbalities ofcourse she can her weak momemnts.

She had restless night she finally decided to just go with flow and if it doesnt work out it just doesnt work out.

Next day, when she had the chance she met Uncle during lunch. She had made liti choka for him he loves when she makes it .

He was so happy that he did not even want to share! "Thanks beta, your hands have magic"with a childlike voice.

Imlie smiled."Uncle , i have decided about what you had asked me and I will go ahead with the dating idea. But i have questions"

"Shoot"

"Is he aware of this"she pointed towards him and herself.

"I talked him you can say that ofcourse he was against it. He is man of few words and with how relation is he was adamant.

But I am his baap. I had to let just say act like sad father" he winked and continued "I told him to give me this one thing- Just a satisfaction of listening to me once.

He reluctantly agree. Of course i know his plan of action. He just doing it for sake of doing it. But i am happy i feel this might be something that can heal our relationship.

And about you two? Its all upto God. If you guys are not compatible then you are just not"He shrugged.

"Enjoy the time though and good luck. I want you to judge him yourself" A father smiled this time.

"Hmm Uncle, thanks for being so honest. I feel same this is situation is so weird for me as well. But i want to experience this 'dating'

i dont care about the results." She smiled as it was her first project.

'I Will set up the first date for you guys and from there its upto you two. Want to exchange numbers or not, want to meet second time or not. All upto no more interference from me"

"Thank you Uncle" Imlie was nervous. After lunch, she went to her desk and googled up dating and how it works. What she should wear? Of course she hardly wears any western clothes and for first date she will be herself.

She will wear Indian only and talk in hindi.

She got text for Uncle, "Tomorrow at 7pm you will be meeting at Coffee House near our office." Wow that was fast she had twist in her stomach now.

"jai sita maaya saath dena bus."

It was the day of the date. After work, Imlie went home and dressed herself in pretty patiala dress. She kept her hair open, earrings and ring.

She did light makeup that recently learned from youtube. This should do, she thought to herself.

Looking at herself in mirror nervously. "Shoot how will i recognize him!? I did not even ask" hitting her forehead.

She tried calling Uncle but he did not pick up. I will just go maybe he might recognize me uncle must have told him atleast.

She took rickshaw and reached the place on time. She got herself a coffee to calm her nervs.

It was 7:15 and he still did not show up. Sighing, "Punctual to bilkul nai hai." Muttering to herself.

She got second cup of coffee around 7:45 pm and now she was pissed. This was not good idea why did i say yes regretted her decision.

SHe told the casheir to make her coffee to go. She will not wait anymore. Casheir handed her the coffee, taking one sip and turning around and WHAM!

Oops so sorry, looking at small drop on coffee on her black shirt. She looked up. HIM. UGH!! Why today of all day i had to see him!

He was mad, "Tumhe to bolna kuch faida nai hai"

"excuse me"

"you are excused" he taunted back.

"whatever" she left from there.

She waited outside to get hold of rickshaw but now they didnt want to stop. She is beyond irritated.

Her phone rang , it was Uncle. "hello"

"Beta, he is waiting for you inside"

"Andar, but mein kabse wait kar rahi thi Uncle koi nai aaya, Upar se use pehchanu kaise?"

"He is wearing black shirt and he has small tatoo of trishul. Aryan just texted me he reached."

"Ok will go check" with that she went back inside.

There were not many people, and the only man wearing black shirt was HIM. 

Oh my god how she didnt see it before ..his eyes are like his dad. There is some familiarity in their faces.

HIM. How is she going to deal with this man. He was currently impatiently tapping his knuckles on table and looking outside the glass of the cafe.

She went to him , "Hi, I am Imlie."

He looked up, shocked"YOU?!"

"Yes me, i am as shocked. Kya hum ache se shuruvaat kar sakte hai? "

He didnt respond. She sighed and sat on the opposite chair not caring for him to invite her to seat.

This is going to be long night,Imlie thought to herself.

"Can we?"

"Can we what?"

"Be nice and have a nice conversation and forgot whatever happen before if its not that hard"

"Hmm"

"HMM"Imlie did it louder. They stared at each other. Both not wanting to let go of their ego.
