hurricane
a queen imagination
"if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane"
- john green
kunj entered the house with a duffle bag hung behind his shoulder. he was entering the house after so long. ever since he turned 14 he was sent to the hostel and to be honest, he liked it better there.
he sighed, these were gonna be two long months.
-------
"bhai !!" chinki opened the door and looked surprised. she moved forward to hug her brother who responded. anand and cherry were behind chinki and tehy passed him a smile. he returned it back. usha and bebe hugged him while surjeet and manohar watched.
the third and the youngest son of the sarna clan was back.
-------
he hated it. their faces showed their feelings so well, he hated being here. he plopped down on the bed and flung his bag on the floor. sitting here could be a good idea he thought.
knock knock
"bhai, mai andar aa jau?" it was chinki, he nodded and she entered. kunj looked at her. the past 8 years had changed her looks. of course he met and saw her on a yearly basis but she looked so different. so not like the baby sister he could use all his might to protect. she looked happy. content.
without him
probably he should just return. the hostel was one place he belonged. but sadly collage break for 2 months and everybody HAD to go home.
"bhai, yuvi aaya hai" kunj looked up again, yuvi, he was the only person he looked forward to meeting. someone who knew his side of the story and some one who actually understood. his best friend. yuvraj luthra.
---------
yuvi and kunj small talked. they talked about the weather and teh flight. they remained in constant touch and thus, there was nothing new to talk about.
they talked for half an hour and then yuvi got a call from his cousin sister and had to leave. she loved him so much. kunj had heard about her, but never asked the name. in some cases he was jealous of yuvi.
lets just say, in all cases.
---------
he was descending the stairs with a book in his hand. he was going to sit in the garden and read. change of atmosphere would do him good, he guessed.
"CHINKIII" and like a hurricane she flew inside the house. he stopped suddenly at the noise created. it came from a girl who was running inside the house. she wore loose jeans and a loose flowy tank top. her hair flew behind her as she rushed towards the girl who had just emerged from the kitchen. the hurricane girl held her by the arms and moved around her, spinning his sister. the girl looked so happy that it made kunj crack a real smile. the happiness was so innocent and pure, reflicting on her face that he stood and stared and smiled. after so long had he seen happiness in its truest form it seemed.
"arre arre ruk ja meri jaan" chinki braced the hurricane girl, who smiled widely, "ab bata hua kya hai?" the girl shook her head and held up a finger, "BEBE, USHA AUNTIE, ANAND BHAIYA, CHERRY BHAIYA, MONU UNCLE, TAUJI !! " she shouted, and kunj winced, she had been shouting since she has entered the house, or maybe her voice was that loud. he shook his head and stood their silently.
"arre twinkle puttar, tu kab aayi" bebe stroked the hair of the hurricane girl, who now had a name, twinkle. his mouth hung open as usha entered the scene with a plate of cookies. ma and cookies? now when did that happen ??
anand and cherry strolled in looking happy to see her too, who was she ? why was everyone so happy seeing her? cherry playfully ruffled her hair as she smacked his arm, anand merely hi fived her, at cherry snorting.
"gao walooo" twinkle brushed off some stands from her face, "nahi, ek minute ruko " she held anand's shoulder and got on the living room table. she stood on it and kunj's jaw touched the ground. she woudl be dead when his dad would enter. it was manohar sarna's favourite table, kunj had got a bad scolding when he had spilt coffee on it by mistake.
"ha toh mai kahan thi ?" twinkle paused comically,"ha, GAO WALO-"
"OYE ! gao ke head yahan hai, aur tu unke bina shuru ho gayi ?" surjeet's voice boomed thorugh teh halls and kunj raised his hand to bite his nail, cause beside him was manohar, she was so gone!!
twinkle started laughing and monu ran to her, kunj braced himself for a tamasha bt then this happened and he got a heart attack.
manohar ran and twinkle pulled him onto the table, they stood their balacing themselves as usha and bebe laughed on.
"GAO WALOOO-" "ruk chutki, itni bhi kya jaldi hai ??" yuvi's voice made his way to kunj's ears and kunj was relieved to see a normal face, he then saw leela making her way in with a plate of ladoo's and he got more confused than ever.
"ab bas" twinkle held up her hand "ab mai bolungi and koi inturrupt nahi karega"
everybody laughed and chinki shushed them up. she wanted to know what news did her best friend have.
"MERA CAMBRIDGE MEIN SELECTION HO GAYA !!" twinkle announced joyously and the whole family broke into smiling and laughing, bebe ran off to leela to take a ladoo and stuff it into twinkle's mouth, usha pulled down twinkle for a hug and chinki did a happy dance around the duo, the men of the house started dancing and for once, kunj could only see happiness.
the hurricane girl was truly a hurricane. she did what he never dreamt off, he made them all happy.
---------------
minutes later he was being dragged down the stairs by chinki, who had suddenly seemed to notice him.
"twinkle , tu hi nahi mili hai bhai se, yeh kunj hai, you know right ?" chinki dragged him to the middle of the gathering, where twinkle was perched happily on the armrest of the sofa tauji sat on, she looked up and for the first time, their eyes met.
and thunderstorms happened.
unlike the others, twinkle's eyes actually brightened up a lil,(though kunj thouhgt they could not get any brighter) she stood up and offered him her hand, "m twinkle, " kunj grabbed her hand and shook it gently, her hand was soft too. she seemed different already. "kunj" he replied and left her hand.
and then suddenly everything was back to what it was, twinkle was already laughing at some joke his dad has cracked and surjeet was hi5'ing her. it was wierd. well, what was wierd was something he wasnt going to think about a lot. so he just smiled and withrew himself from the gathering. if the family was happy without him, let them be.
he strolled into the kitchen and grabbed a mug from the freshly washed ones, he took out milk and started boiling it, he then searched for coffee.
but he could just not find it.
"coffee woh top shelf mein hai," kunj turned around to see twinkle helping herself to a glass of water, and grabbing a tray. she then opened the freezer nd pulled out 6 glasses of chocolate shake. she placed five of them on the tray and offered kunj the 6th one, who merely looked at twinkle and at teh glass, repeating it over again.
"arre, usha auntie hum sab youngsters ke liye banati hai, and tum bhi toh hum mein se ek ho" she pushed the glass towards him once again. kunj looked at her, and then reached for the glass, murmuring softly,"mai tumme se ek nahi hu," twinkle's eyes shot up to meet his, and he looked away quickly, muttering a thanks and turning his back towards her.
he could hear her footsteps retreating.
