Her eyes darted around the room cautiously looking for someone special. Her hands were clutched around her phone and she often looked down to check if she'd received a call or a text or anything. Kunj sighed to himself. Twinkle always seemed to care about those who didn't deserve her care. He and Twinkle had been best friends before they could even speak and he'd always seen her love those who never reciprocated. Kunj had been watching her from afar since he'd arrived at the party. Twinkle's eyes had yet to leave the gates. He had to get her to look away.
"Oye siyappa queen," he grinned as she turned in a startled manner. As she realized it was him, a big smile graced Twinkle's previously worried smile. It was this smile of her that drew Kunj in. As she ran to him with it dancing on her face, Kunj couldn't help but fall even more in love with her.
"Kunj!" She squealed, jumping into his arms, "tu kab aayi?"
"Yahi kuch 5-10 minute aage. Yuvi nahi aaya?" Kunj felt Twinkle stiffen. As she pulled away, Kunj cursed himself for saying what he had.
"Aajayengi," Twinkle wished she could keep the desperation, the worry, the wistfulness out of her voice, "Voh ky hai na ki Ma, Yuvi ko Anita auntie ki vajah se zyada pasand nahi karta toh mujhe laaga ki aaj agar Yuvi, Ma par ek accha impression banaye toh accha hogi."
She gave Kunj a reassuring smile, but knew it hadn't succeeded in reassuring him at all. If anything it had tensed him even more.
"Tu chinta mat kar Twinkle. Voh aajayegi," Kunj smiled and she couldn't help but smile back. He always knew what to say. She'd always felt something towards Kunj but had always doubted and denied the possibility of it being love. Yet know as they let their eyes connect and sparks flew, Twinkle felt herself wishing that Yuvi was more like Kunj.
"Twinkle!" a voice broke the trance. Yuvraj Luthra stared at the duo with a questioning look.
"Yuvi," Twinkle pulled her beau into a hug, "itna late?"
"Sorry jaan," Yuvi said, caressing her face softly.
"Sirf sorry?" Twinkle tried her best to not let her irritation seep into her voice, "tujhe pata hai na ki Ma ko lateness bilkul pasand nahi hai?"
"Chodna Twinkle. Ab to yahan hu na," and he kissed her and she didn't have enough strength to object. Kunj felt a sharp pang in his heart, but he continued to stare thoughtfully at the couple. The kiss seemed fake, almost forced. Twinkle was lacking the glow she always had him. Kunj knew it was too much of a far-fetched idea for Twinkle to be in love with him but perhaps she wasn't quite in love with Yuvi either.
"Ab chal, Ma se mil ne chal," Twinkle said as she hastily pulled away from the kiss. Just as Twinkle began to drag Yuvi away, the paparazzi began to crowd around the trio. After all they were the children of some rather famous and influential businessmen.
"Mr. Sarna! Ms. Taneja! Mr. Luthra! Hummein aapse yeh pucchna hai aap teen ko ki Pyaar kya hain?' Mr. Luthra pehle aap."
"Pyaar kamsori hai," Yuvi said, making Twinkle look up at him. To her surprise, she found wasn't hurt by his bluntness. It just didn't affect her.
"Pyaar kamori hai kyunki aap jisse pyaar karte ho aap uski aage vulnerable ho jaate ho. App uss insaan ko voh hathiyar dehte ho jisse voh aapko mar saakit hai, jisse voh aapko tod sakti hai. Toh hai love is weakness," Yuvi finished with a smile for the cameras.
"Aur aap?" the reporter placed the mike in between Kunj and Twinkle, making them confused as to whose turn it was to speak.
"Pyaar dosti hai," they said simultaneously and froze. They turned to face each other, shock prominent in both of their eyes In that moment there seemed to be no but them and the silence of their confession.
"Kyun Mr. Sarna?" the reporter asked breaking the connection.
"Kuch kuch hota hai main Sharukh Khan ne yeh kahan ki agar voh meri sabse acche dost nahi ban sakti toh main use kabhi pyar hi nahi kar sakta' aur main bhi yeh maanti hu. Mera jeevan saathi mera best friend ho ga. Jo sukh mein or dukh mein bhi saath de sake. Jisska haat hamesha mere haat ki saath huda ho. Sirf vohi mera jeevan saathi ban sakengi. Pyar dost hai kyunki dosti toh pyar ka pehla step hai. Dosti ki biger pyar hi nahi hota," Kunj kept his eyes trained on Twinkle the whole time and was surprised to see a small tear on the side of her right eye.
"Aur Miss Taneja aapko aisa kyun laagta hain ki pyaar dosti hai?"
"Ek dost hamesha saath deth hai jaise ki ek jeevan saathi. Koi mussibat ho toh koi bachaane aye na aye dost zaroor ayega. Iss liye voh jeevan saathi ka roop leta hain. Taaki voh hamesha, hummein har mushkil se baach sake. Girte hai to sambhalte hain dost. Rote hai to hasate hain dost. Dil tutein, toh jodtein hai dost. Hum nafrat bhi karena, dost toh pyaar hi kaarenga. Ek dost hamesha jeevan sathi ki tarah hi hota hai. Iss hi liye to dost hi jeevan saathi hoti hai aur dosti pyaar hoti hai," and any doubt she'd had for her love toward Kunj had cleared during his speech and vanish by the end of hers. As the paparazzi ended their respective news shows, she heard Yuvi slip away but Twinkle couldn't care less at that moment. Her head, her heart, her everything was focused on Kunj.
"Toh," she edge, trying to get rid of the looming overhead silence.
"Tujhse ek baat pucchu?" Kunj asked, almost nervously.
"Pucch," Twinkle said slowly.
"Tujhe laagta hai ki tujh par koi mussibat aye toh Yuvi aayega bachaane ke liye?" Kunj kept his voice composed but his heart was dying to hear her answer. His love depended on it.
"Yuvi ka toh paata nahi leki tu zaroor ayega. Koi aye na aye, tu aayega," Twinkle didn't know where the courage to express her feeling came from but she was more than happy to have gotten them off her chest.
"Itna bharosa hain mujhpe?"
"Khud se bhi zyaada bharosa hai tujhpe," Twinkle said confidently, as she took a step forward.
"Kyun?" Kunj asked, a smile creeping up his face as he took a step forwards as well.
"Bolna parega? Tu hi toh hamesha kehti hai ki hum dono ko kabhi shabdo ki zaroorat nahi padega. Hum ek doosre ki khamoshi se hi ek doosre ki dil ki baat samajhlege," Twinkle said, taking another step.
"Samajh liya," Kunj whispered, taking the last step to close the gap between them. Their lips met and heaven landed on planet earth. There were still many problem to face, many thing that still needed sorting out. But if they had each other, then no problem was to big. After all Pyar dosti hai and Kunj and Twinkle were living proof of that.
