Yuvi started to swing her around after she confronted him.
Kunj's words rang in her mind.
" Uska beecha chor de. Ek din tum bari musibat mein phas jagoi."
Twinkle wanted to hit herself for coming out here after Yuvraj while the others were still sleeping or getting ready for the day.
He finally let her go after her pleading. Twinkle hit the ground hard. Her whole body shook with pain. She felt some liquid coming from the corner of her forehead. She stammered for Bebe.
Bebe rushed towards her.
" Twinkle yeh kya hogaya. Tum yahaan kaise kirgi?," she asked concerned.
" Yuvraj ne muhje giradya!," Twinkle rasped. ( Yuvraj dropped me!)
" Woh to yahaan hai nahin. Chale mere saath paat kar denge tumari," she urged.
Twinkle slowly made her way to the couch.
Bebe dabbed at her wound and then applied a bandage on the site.
" Aur kahin lagi toh nahin?," she asked.
" Sub kuch dukha hai," Twinkle saying as she winced.
" Main tumare liye haldi wala dhood manati hoon," Bebe said softly.
" Lekin Bebe mujhe woh nahin peena," she cried.
" Chup! Haldi wala dhood sayaat ke liye accha hai," she insisted.
Kunj arrived downstairs.
"Hey Siyappa queen yeh kaise hogaya?," he asked with concern.
" Woh Yuvi ne mujhe giryada. Sab kuch dhuka hai Kunj!," she cried.
"Ahh! We should have left for our trip last night. See you have gotten yourself in trouble already. I was going to tell Bebe we were going to the farmhouse. Now since we have to delay our trip, I will have to come up with another plan so no one follows us there," Kunj stated with remorse.
"Main itni weak nahin hoon Kunj. Hum jayenge," Twinkle insisted.
Her husband softened.
" I just want you to get some rest and recover from all the stress you have been through the past few months," he declared.
"Yeh lo haldi wala dhood. Tum dono ko bahar jaana haina?," Bebe asked.
" Jee Bebe," both said in unison.
" Phir yeh dhood Twinkle poora peena hai," she urged.
She left Kunj in charge to make sure Twinkle would drink it.
Twinkle grimaced.
" Come on Twinkle, mere liye. Otherwise you know na Ma na Bebe humhe jaane degeni," he declared. ( Come on Twinkle do it for me. Otherwise you know your Mom and Bebe will not let us go anywhere.)
Twinkle took the milk from his hands and started to drink it.
" Twinkle Kunj Sarna tum bahut cute ho!," Kunj thought to himself.
Bebe kept Yuvraj with Surjit so the couple could leave peacefully.
Once in the car, Twinkle turned to Kunj.
" Hum kahan jaare hain?," she asked softly.
"Ek surprise hai. After all it is a our redo honeymoon," he said with a bright smile.
She nudged him.
Then she winced.
"See this is what happens when you don't listen to your smart and handsome pati dev!," Kunj exclaimed.
She glared at him.
He gently caressed her arm at the traffic light.
" Just relax. Safe your energy for exploring wherever we end up," he said surreptitiously.
Hours later..
She felt a familiar hand on her shoulder.
"Hum kahan hain?," she asked.
"Dharmsala," Kunj replied.
She opened her eyes to realize they weren't in the car. She must have been sleepy when they arrived probably late last night or earlier this morning.
She realized she was in yesterday's clothes. She tried to get up but felt stiff all over.
" Tu rook. I will run the hot water for you," he said with concern.
She got up a few moments later searching for toiletries. He shook his head at her. She smiled as she began to brush her teeth.
He leaned over and brushed her hair aside so he could remove her band aid. She winced slightly.
He blew on it as he held her arm to steady her.
She had a habit of tilting over at the slight disposition of her balancing.
Kunj was startled with a foamy kiss on his cheek.
She winked at him before going off to wash her face and rinse her mouth.
Kunj waited patiently for her to finish then washed his own face.
A few minutes later, Twinkle had the bathroom to herself. She closed the door behind her and got washed up quickly. She was eager to go exploring soon. They were finally free to start anew. She would not take this opportunity for granted.
Some time had passed and she heard Kunj knocking on the door.
" Tu theek toh hai na?," he called.
She smiled.
" Haan main theek hoon. Main baas abhi aayi!," she called out.
She emerged in a peach, lace colored salwar suit. She could feel his eyes admiring her but he broke the spell by covering her with a shawl.
" Bahar thodi se thand hai," he muttered.
"Lekin yahan toh garmi thori zyaada hai," she retorted back.
He blushed slightly.
They linked arms and headed out to explore the local monasteries and other tourist sites.
