Hello guys, I have written this simple short OS because I needed to write something happy after my previous story. It's a bit short and cut off but I hope you all like it.
Also thank you to everyone who like and commented on my previous story.😊
The Road is Long
Falling in love with the Siyapa Queen, turns out to be freakishly easy and horrendously fast. Their marriage hadn't even crossed the six month mark and there were already little things he loved about her. Little things that made his day infinitely better, little things that made him laugh harder, little things that he swears she does on purpose, when she really doesn't.
Ultimately he decides he cannot possibly keep up with the things he loves about Twinkle, so he prepares a mental note.
1)He loves the way she kisses him awake.
They had long since started sharing a bed, knowing that their little Tashan' is starting to grow more and more ridiculous with each passing day and frankly its tiring. So yeah, they share a bed now. And ever since they started sharing a bed, Twinkle has started to give him little kisses on his cheek to wake him up. He doesn't know, if this is an old habit of hers from her childhood, maybe she slept next to her mom as a kid and would wake up to kiss her mom too, but he doesn't care. As long as his day begins with a peck from those soft lips of his wife's, he doesn't care about anything else in the world.
Lately, however, the whole thing was kind of getting out of hand. Because even though Kunj sometimes woke up hours before her, he would yet lay still and pretend to be asleep just so he could receive a kiss.
2)He realizes he loves her when she works herself to the ground just to make everything perfect for his family.
New Years was fast approaching and that meant sweet dishes were in demand. Kheer for Dad, ladoos for Ma, Ras Malai for Anand Bhaiya and Jalebis for himself. And since this was Twinkle's first New Years as a Sarna, she was tasked with making all the dishes. Of course she wasn't required to cook all of the sweets within one day itself, but Twinkle was unaware of the fact.
She found herself in the kitchen way before the sun was out, with a video instructing her on how to make the perfect Kheer. By the time everyone came down for breakfast, Twinkle had already thrown away 2 batches of the delicacy because Woh perfect nahi the'. She them put the task of preparing sweets on hold and instead put all her heart in prepping breakfast for everyone.
By the time Kunj had returned home from work Twinkle was busy preparing the Jalebis. He took in her sight and knew that the Siyapa Queen hadn't left the kitchen the whole day. There was a streak of milk, unintentionally smeared on her forehead and a satisfactory smile on her face. Kunj decided to leave her in peace and to head to the bedroom.
It was well into the night when Twinkle finally emerged from the kitchen. She had served everyone their respective dishes and received marvellous praises. She walked into their bedroom with a huge smile plastered on her face and carried a plate with the most delicious looking jalebis.
Kunj was sitting on the sofa, just finishing up some work when Twinkle placed the delicacy on the table, next to his laptop and took her place on the bed. He waited to finish the last slide on his project and picked up the first jalebi he could reach.
It tasted heavenly, the best ones he's has in a long while.
"Twinkle-"He starts to commend her skills but soon finds her already dozed off on their bed. She was yet in her day clothes, yet had milk stains on her forehead and bit of flour in her hair but he found her all the more alluring like that.
3)He realizes he loves her when he catches her dancing alone and in his hoodie.
The Sarna house was unusually quiet. And Kunj knew the reason behind it. His parents for off to Mumbai for some conference, while his brother was visiting London. That left him and Twinkle alone in the house. He returned from work and found the house, dead silent, making him wonder where the Chatterbox' may be.
First thing he does is check the kitchen, when he finds the room empty he decides that she must be napping. He makes his way to their room and hears soft music. Curiosity heightened, Kunj now tiptoes towards their bedroom, making sure not to make a single sound. As he approaches the room, he recognizes the songs being played. They were a 110% Punjabi party songs, typical Twinkle kind of songs. He can't help smiling.
He slids the door open by a crack. And the sight is-he is speechless.
There Twinkle is on their bed, jumping up and down on the soft bouncy mattress, trying to sing and dance and jump all at the same time. But that complete the whole picture.
She is wearing his hoodie, the thing completely drowning her petite frame. The hoodie reaches her knees and Kunj notices she isn't wearing any pants. The hoodie is acting as her dress. And instead of wearing any pants or leggings, she is wearing his socks, which in turn come up to mid-calf on her.
Its enticing, watching her like this. He isn't entirely sure whether he should be in shocked or surprised or happy or just plain lucky. He watches her dance for another minute or two before clearing his throat to catch her attention.
"KUNJ!" she screams, clearly surprised out of her skin. She adorably hides her face in her arms and falls down on the bed, hiding her entire form under the duvet. "I AM SO EMBARRASSED! Tum knock karke nahi aa sakte the kya?" she mumbles. Kunj bites his lips to keep the smile he so desperately wants to show under control. He steps over to the bed and flops himself next to Twinkle.
"Bahut cute lag rahi thi waise"
She lets out a small whine. "Kunj, stop. Main already itni embarrasses hoon." She says without emerging out of the covers. Kunj decides to change that and yanks the cover down and away from her. She lets out another scream in protest, extending her hand to grab at the duvet. Her face is evidently red and her nose scrunches up while her eyes squints near a close. He can't stop staring at her. He grabs her waist to keep her still and the hoodie hitches up her thigh by an inch. Her breathing picks up by an inch and their faces are closer by an inch. The red that tainted her cheeks is now travelling down her neck too, disappearing under the hoodie. Kunj pushes his face a bit closer by hers and whisper. "Meri hoodie tujh pe zyaada achi lag rahi hai."
Later when, Twinkle had recovered from her initial embarrassment, they decide to have dinner.
"Waise tu mere liye waise phir kab dance karne wali hai. Especially wih hoodie mein." He brings up the topic again just to watch her skin erupt in a scarlet blush.
4) He realizes he loves her when she watches every Disney animated movie.
Twinkle is a big Disney fan. The way she watches them is almost religious. She has by now, watched Finding Nemo half a dozen times and almost always recites Dory's lines by heart. Lion King was another one. Next up was Tangled, followed by Frozen, followed by Cars and etc.
And as if that wasn't enough, she has turned the whole Disney thing into a couples thing. Every Thursday, Twinkle would make popcorn, drag Kunj off of the couch, push him down on the bed, plop down next to him and play a new Disney movie.
Even she knows that they are way too old for Disney but never stopped her.
5)He realizes he loves her when she finishes his office work.
The weather around was a bit chillier than normal and that meant it was Flu season. Kunj had been down with the flu for the past week. He had an important presentation to prepare before the coming Monday and he hadn't even begun it.
He tried getting up from bed time and time again, but never found the strength. Instead each attempt left him grasping for bed.
"Kunj, tum kya kar rahe ho? Tumhe aaram karna chahiye na?" She scolds him each time he tries to get near his laptop.
"Twinkle, mera presentation hai Monday ko, aur maine ab tak use start bhi nahi kiya hai." Would be his reply each time.
He wakes up on Saturday morning to his laptop on his lap and Twinkle standing next to him. "Your welcome" she says, pinching his cheeks and running off to prepare tea for him.
Puzzled by her strange actions and addled by his illness, Kunj slowly opens his Laptop and the first thing he notices is a presentation. He slides through it and with every passing page, he notices how this was what his presentation was supposed to be on. Twinkle had completed it for him and she had done it exceptionally. It was better than anything he could have come up with on his own.
6)He realizes he loves him and she loves him
She wakes him up with more kisses these past days.
She cooks a lot too. And it's mostly filled with his favourite dishes.
She's now formed a habit of sleeping in his shirts and he swears to god, it's the most adorable thing in the world.
Disney movie is now a two-day event, instead of just a Thursday ritual.
She now finishes most of his presentation. And leaves smiley notes in his briefcase.
Realization is a long road and the road to love is longer but somehow Kunj didn't mind the walk. Infact if he thinks about it now, he might have even run himself there. And if he could do it all over, he knows that this time we would sprint there.
THE END.
