Imlie sees arpita and runs to her immediately 

"Didi ee apki h ka?" Imlie says showing the payal 

Arpita at first glace denies

"Nahi imlie mai aur maa dono gold pahente h on rare occasions only. Hamari nahi h.Kaha mili?"

"Room me thi..isliye poocha.." 

"Shayad kisi maid ki hogi..safai karte time gir gai hogi"

Imlie feels uneasy to let it go and goes to servant quarters to ask

Getting a no from every lady living she goes to her room with a mystery 

Was it a thief? When did we start having female thieves?!

In her dark room imlie sees a body moving,

It was a thief!! 

Imlie sneaks up on the back. Jumping on the shoulder pinning the body down with her elbow set perfectly 

"Kon ho aur kaa chahiye. Aache se bata do warna peeth ma esan koni marenge-"

"Koni mere pass bhi h imlie" aryan says turning so imlie falls to the ground.  He gets up without wasting a moment picking the carpets up

"Kaa kar rahe ho tum?! Pura kamra faila diya h! Humka laga chor h!"

"Kuch dhoond raha ho imlie !" He says not bothering to look up

Aryan was panicking.  How could he loose it !! 

"Esan ka h jo dasio company ke malik ko esan dhundna padat h. Itna keemti to naahi hoga ki phirse na khareed pao Mr crorepati" 

"It's..it's not that... imlie please help me find !! I can't..." 

Aryan was looking like an asthma patient searching for inhaler to her

"Abp, shant. Batao kya h..hum dhoondat h"

"Anklet- umm payal h" 

Imlie freezes, the payal weighs heavily in her pocket 

"Tum payal pahnat ho?" 

"Forgodssake no imlie ! It..it's very important to me...belongs to someone i lo- i deeply care about " 

Imlie pulls it out handing him

"You...tumhe" 

And that's when he realizes.  Imlie might definitely know her payal. She saw him freak out over it

"Kiski h?" 

"Huh what?" 

"Payal..kiski h" 

Aryan wanted to cry and laugh the same time 

"No body imlie it's very late. Goodnight " 

Good night my foot!!! Imlie kept tossing and turning the whole night. 

Who does that payal belong too

Why was aryan so attached to it

Was that woman the reason aryan didn't want her

Was she the one he loved...

As for aryan he holds her payal, feeling imlie's essence.  Her confession.  How beautifully she had put her words...Aryan it's time you tell yours too..before she remembers everything 

The fear of her remembering and hating him still lurks

But if he tries to confess honestly..maybe she'll give him a chance
