Chapter 3b
As soon as they entered the party hall they didn't had much time to think about their challenge. Many business associates pulled them in and they began small talk with them. Soon kunj was pulled away by some board members and twinkle was left alone with the current office interns they were talking to.all young men who had recently entered a the business world and were sticking together until they learnt the ropes twinkle noted 2 of them were pretty nervous since they were talking to their boss daughter in law.
She chatted happily with them asking if they were enjoying the party.
He began talking and twinkles eyes moved to sweep the room soon she caught his eyes staring at her. She turned her eyes away not able to handle his gaze.it made her feel tingly.
Realizing she had totally ignored the conversation around her she smiled extra wide so they didn't think she was ignoring them.
Kunj was having hard time controlling himself. He just wanted to go pull her in his arms and kiss her senseless.
There she was dressed in most sinful saree,the sleeveless blood red blouse enhanced her beauty all the more.
She stood laughing,throwing her head back at their jokes giving him a glimpse of her long neck.
His blood boiled as he saw one of the intern stare a little too long. Despite being in the other corner of the room he could see exactly how many man were inching a little too close to her to see her.he excused himself from current old geezer he was talking to who for gods sake couldn't relax and enjoy the party he just wanted to expand his business.
He headed towards the other guests intently moving closer to where twinkle stood.
Twinkle sensed his gaze boring holes into her,she excused herself from the group and headed towards another group,this time wives of some business men.
Out of corner of her eye she saw kunj tracing her steps with his eyes.
She stared right back mesmerised by him.
Soon she was with other ladies she hugged them fulfilling the formality but her mind and heart was somewhere else.
Kunj sucked in a deep breath as her arms lifted to hug a girl and he caught expanse of her milky waist encased in the waist chain.he tugged at his tie suddenly feeling too hot.
He moved onto the next guest now finally relaxing that she was with the ladies.what was wrong with him he wondered.
what was this burning feeling in his heart when he saw her surrounded by those men who listened to very word from her mouth with rapt attention just to impress her. Little did he know what was going in her mind. Did he just saw her stealing glances at him. Was she affected equally? Her scarlet cheeks told him she was. Well good for her,it provided him small comfort that he was not alone in this burning hell.
He saw her moving again this time heading for him.he was surprised he would have thought she would be avoiding him after what happened while dressing up but here she was confident gliding towards him.if he wasn't concious of all these people around he would have met her halfway and kissed her right then and there. For a second he also thought manners be damned but that thought was soon out of his mind when she came and stood right beside him easily diverting everyone's attention to herself and enquired about their health like like a gracious hostess.
Everyone praised her as a hostess.
"I am glad you all are enjoying the party."Twinkle said smiling.
"Pasand kaisay na aye!!After all when we have such a beautiful and graceful hostess party mein chaar chaand kaisay na lagay?" They heard a playful voice from behind and with out even turning to see he kunj knew he hated the guy.
He turned to see a admittedly good looking guy dressed in jeans and jacket.
Smirking.
He definitely hated the guy.
Suddenly to his horror twinkle squealed in happiness.
"Karan!!!"Twinkle hugged him expressing her delight. Kunj felt like ripping her away from that man who he now knew was karan.
"I am so glad you could make it.why didn't you rsvp the invite i thought you won't come and I have to admit I was upset that you won't be coming but I am so happy seeing you here so i forgive you.come ill introduce u."Twinkle dragged the handsome man by his arm much to kunjs dislike.
Didn't he have eyes he could surely follow twinkle instead here she was guiding him towards kunj.
"Gentle men here is my childhood friend karan singhania. Karan this is kunj."Twinkle and karan shared a look indicating they had already talked about kunj. This made kunj uneasy. as twinkle introduced karan to the rest of the group kunj observed the guy. He smiled at twinkle way too often for his liking and both of them laughed at shared jokes. Why didn't twinkle just leave him already
As if fate was enjoying his torture too much the announcement for guests to move into the ballroom came at exact time.
Ever since that karan arrived twinkle had been paying less attention to him. He made half a mind to just go and kiss her reminding her of the challenge but no that would mean he lost. He didn't wanna loose to easily that too because he was being jealous.
"I know technically you should be dancing with your husband but I am your childhood friend surely I can be awarded the first dance of the evening with my gorgeous host.may I have this dance?"karan enquired not missing the look of pure hate on Kunj's face.
Twinkle looked at kunj as if on reflex,she really wanted to dance with him but the fool that he was hadn't asked her yet.
Considering her hyper reaction to his closeness maybe it was good he wasn't going to touch her.she was sure one more touch like earlier and she would be in his arms kissing him senseless and loosing aswell.
She accepted karan's hand and he led them to the dance floor.
Karan smirked at kunj.silently teasing him.
"Why did you do that??spill now."Twinkle asked once they were waltzing to a song.karan laughed at her narrowed eyes.
"You think I came to the party just now?I have been here for an hour.couldnt help but observe Mr grumpy over here staring at you like he was a starved lion.and I thought if the idiot was your husband why couldn't he just walk up to you and whisk you away if he loves you so much."
"He doesn't love me."Twinkle intervened her voice unknowingly sad at the realization.
"Nonsense you jallhi.any smart person can see he is smitten with you but as I said smart people see it not idiots like you.so where I was yeah playing cupid in your story. So I realized with data recovered from bubbly that he is also a idiot so I intervened as the nosy childhood friend that I am" karan winked at her as she listened still reeling from his revelation that kunj probably loved her.
"And if I am to go by the looks you have been sending the man I would think you just wanted to rip his shirt off and have your way with him."Twinkle blushed furiously.cursing the minute she made him her best friend.he read her like a book like always. "So my sweet stupid bestie let me do what I am doing amd just play along.by the end of the night see the magic I create."karan whispered smiling at her blushing face.
If kunj held the glass any brighter it would have broken. That man was making his wife blush and he was whispering in her ears things which made her laugh and blush. He had enough of this nonsense. Twinkle might think of him as her best friend but it was crystal clear the dude just wanted to flirt with her and the naive girl she was probably thought he just wanted to be her friend. She was his wife dammit.
If looks could kill karan would be writhing on the floor in pain and burn to Ashes.
Kunj kept the glass of juice on a nearby counter and headed for the dance floor.
Her giggle was louder as he neared and his blood boiled that he wasn't the one making her laugh like that.
"He is heading towards us bestie keep laughing while I go and try to hire some bodyguards because the looks I have been getting tonight I am pretty sure kunj will send a hit man after me tomorrow."karan whispered
"Can I take MY wife away for our dance kunj said through clenched teeth.
Karan nodded and stepped away from twinkle not before passing her a small smile.
Kunj held her hand into his.
He pulled her close,one hand settled on her delicate waist as twinkle wrapped her hands around his neck.this brought them very close.
The lights dimmed and the slower song began playing.
"Seemed like you were having fun."Kunj commented trying not to show how jealous he had been.
"Karan is my best friend.he returned from London recently and our friendship rekindled. I never realized I missed him. He is crazy like me and understands me very well."Twinkle told him.she had added the last line to test karan's theory.surely kunj wasn't jealous. They were just playing a challenge.
She had thought she was alone in having this unknown feeling.Till now they were unexplained but tonight karan had named it as love. Could it be love that was between them.she wondered twirling in his arms.
Precap:
They danced in the dark.kunj moved her hair away from her neck. He placed a kiss on her neck,light as a feather but it felt electric to them. "Remember the challenge my siyapa queen?"
