Kiska Rasta Dekhe Ae Dil : An Arylie ff Ch.5 : Ochre Yellow p.15 - Page 8

#1 agree.... I had many thoughts about aru-meethi eye communication... It was like she was sharing her helplessness about imlie's condition with him and also unknowingly seeking his support in the future endeavour to "save" imlie from this self destructive stage she's reached. God. It was a poignant scene. Can't believe they pulled that off in first meeting itself.

#2 about cool off as well.... Aru has been so persistent since the adini wedding, borderline micromanaging all her actions... We've seen that imlie doesn't mind him invading her personal space, and is even reluctant to displeasure/disappoint him? She unconsciously seeks his validation because she respects his opinions about her as in she can't afford to appear 'weak' in his eyes.

We think that she does not care about him, but what I feel is he's like a salt in life by now, jiski importance uske absence me samjh aati hai while it's ignored when present.

#3 agree with this also

For imlie religious marriage >>> legal/social

So for her to stop persuing bs-jiju a marriage is must even if forced/convenience/symbolic e whatever... (Not inclined real marriage... You know why)

Also no drama w/o conflict... Means no trp.... Show tanks!!!

As always, you chose another one of my favorite songs, Virah from Bandish Bandits. One of the only songs in that album that actually means something other than Latt Uljhi.

Blue right now I am so disconnected from Imlie, the character, in the show that its coloring my thoughts on this chapter, sowwwweeee, so all my sympathies simply lie with Aru, ma boi. He is the only character that sort of stays consistent across all AU.

Yes, he did marry her impulsively and with good (subconscious) reasons, and yes, she knows none of that. So of course, she is pissed off. That once again she a man had to marry her to save her from the wrath of her villagers, this time that venom was directed against her only real family, her mother and grandmother. She feels protective of them and her naturally independent nature rebels against any help he may provide, because he is not THAT man that had to marry her to save them. Dunno if I am making sense. Its 4.30 AM and my brain is short circuited.

Aru though, oh I so feel his angst. His sukoon lies in her, after all and she keeps rejecting every attempt at communication with him. Ahhhh....mera dil, kab tak tadpayegi ye womaniya, Aru ko? Writerji, when are you going to put us out of our misery. Show mein paagalpan aur idhar itna raw emo-sun! Just do it already for our sakes. I need some calm in the Arylie seas men!

As always, thanks for the tag.

Hey, doc!

Hope you get to recuperate! Please re-read the chapter when you feel better.

My characters are very close to the show. It's is a logical/wishful progression of how things would go. Imlie, tbh, lacks self-awareness almost as much as Aru is introspective. She can be an unbearable character, and we might just want to shout obvious facts at her.

She realises things just when she does and even not completely then. She doesn't know even in the show what she wants to do with Aditya . Sure she loves him but so what? She might even think that marriage is a saat-janam-deal but then Malini is married to him too.

Okay, fair that my Imlie hasn't gone completely deranged as in the show but the buffer is the marriage to Aryan. That's apparent to us.

But, to Imlie Aryan has taken a decision for them when nothing really makes sense to her. She has been growing increasingly attached to Aryan, but Aditya's near-death pulled her in two opposite directions.

Now, she's married to him but for what? Rains bring joy, fruition and stability in people's life— they nurture life. Here rains bring a new beginning for her whilst completely destabilising her life.

Aru is extremely possessive of Imlie; he already thinks of her as his wife. He's the antithesis of Aditya, he doesn't want to hold her hostage in an unwanted relationship. He doesn't want to destroy her mental health, nor her career.

He's also a very progressive man, and his social position doesn't take issue with her not wearing sindoor. He wouldn't impose his name on her either.

He wants to talk to her not because he wants to 'start a marriage' with her but because he wants to know how she is. She doesn't want to talk to him because talking to him means confronting the truth.

But, this sense of 'mine' has already been seeping in their interactions even before the marriage. And despite the cool-off, it would continue to seep in subtle ways. That's when the truth of it all will smack her in the face.

When ,and if at all, she accepts him — choses to wear her sindoor— it would just caress him like a monsoon wind.

4. Where or When

Imlie needed to walk away from him; she just needed to breathe. Aisa lagta raha jaise woh hawaon mein hi ghul gaya ho. She strolled outside the hospital— to the chhole-kulche vendor. She knew it would piss him off that she was eating street food when Kakima had packed perfectly healthy and tasty food. But she found a little solace in this petty recalcitrance. And, gosh, did those kulche look extra succulent after a loooooooooooooong day of queasiness!

"Bhaiya ji, ee chhole ma aur nimboo aur mirchi daal dees, pleej," said a huffing Imlie as she breathlessly gobbled down kulcha after kulcha. She hoped she could swallow down her confusion with the tanginess of the food. To whom could she talk? Who knew about what had happened? She couldn't tell Rupi-didi or Sundar or Ma. Amma was recuperating from a kidnapping for godsakes! Daddah was not here. She couldn't talk to... him. Not him!

Babusaheb... He was the only one who knew. How could she face him! What will she say to him? He was unwell at that. She dialed up Aparna's number. "Ma, Babusaheb kaisen hai?" "— Wu Amma hospital ma hai na, hum ghar avat rahe, Amma ke discharge ke baad. Aap apan aur Babusaheb ka dhyaan rakhi pleej."

Choking on the sweetness of the mineral water, she made her way back to... "Aryan, Ms. Dulari ke triglycerides levels 278 hai, don't worry, umar ke saath lazmi hai. Thode diet aur lifestyle changes ke baad control mein aa jayega. Ms. Meethi is perfectly fine apart from the blood pressure fluctuations due to the stress. I will refer both of them to a therapist and will write some meds for now." "Doctor, please get them the best possible therapist, and they must be well-versed in Hindi. My wi—employee, Imlie, is their daughter, she might need therapy as well. You should talk to her once she's back."

'Did he really have to take care of everyone and everything? Damned frustrating man!' What was she doing gawking at him from behind the blinds in the middle of a hospital? Did she have brain fever?

He saw her, in her blush-pink salwar-suit. Her few strands of her hair falling out of her French braid. Her tiny black bindi drawing all his attention again. She looked positively dishabilled. So fetch— she was gone again!

Shit! Shit! Shit! He saw her, she needed to go somewhere. Anywhere, anywhere.

Some things that happened for the first time

Seem to be happening again

And so it seems that we have met before

Aryan didn't know what to do. God, he'd be driven mad before the day was done. Should he wait or follow her like always?

Laughed before and loved before

But who knows where or when

And she ran and she ran and she ran through the hospital. To the cafeteria. There she bought three mugs of hot chocolate and drank another one.

And she walked, and she walked, and she walked back... to him.

oh.... the constant pull-push... the angst.... the confusion perfect!

"And she ran and she ran and she ran

And she walked, and she walked, and she walked back"

["Ma, how is Babusaheb? — Amma is admitted to the hospital, I will visit home once she's been discharged. Please take care of yourself and Babusaheb."]

s/n: is imlie a stress eater? 😆

We were talking about her attraction to Aru and female gaze, no? 😆

Yes, from what can be understood from the show, she's a stress-eater. But, she's also very hungry? Honestly, street-food seems extra tempting when you finally gain appetite after a long stressful event.

Wow! This forums has genuis writers. Which makes me want to settle her and let the stories pour in .

That was plethora of emotions. Imlie now immune to the words of Pd wasis. Aryan who don't care what the world think is being effected by those unimportant ppl and their wrds. He took the biggest step not to put them in their place but to protect HER .all he could think was her protection.protecting her from the world not those superficial wounds , but those inconspicuous ones.

Livid imlie is sight that Aryan would'nt like to come across with. As that comes with silent war which he cannot afford to live with .

Kabhi kisi cheez ko na tarasne wale

Kabhi Kisi ki awaz ko taraste hai.

P.s: this for the 3 updates. Will come back after reading 4 update
