Chapter 5

In his arms it felt like a dream. Everything was quiet, filled with the sweetest of silences. Twinkle pressed closer against Kunj and she felt him tighten his grip around her. She'd missed this so much. Just being close to him, just to know that he was here, felt so, so amazing, She couldn't describe the euphoria that had gone through her, when Twinkle had first seen him. Every other things had gone out of her mind, replaced with thoughts and memories and only him. Right now, in his arms felt right, It felt like the rain after a drought or perhaps the sun after a thunderstorm. It felt like something that she'd been waiting for had finally been fixed. There was so much hope now and the faith that had long left Twinkle was back now. Yet it was like a dream and as soon as reality calls, dreams must end. The full realization of what was happening hit Twinkle with a bang. She was doing exactly what she's promised she wouldn't do. She was going back to him, letting her heart win, when in her head she knew that if she let herself do that, something she dreaded could happen. With a sudden movement, Twinkle pushed Kunj away. He looked at her, his eyes filled with shock and anxiety. There was anger there too and even accusation. All things she deserved.

"Main ye nahi kar sakti Kunj. I'm sorry," Twinkle said, "samajhne ki koshis karo."

"Kya nahi kar sakti tu? Mujhe gale nahi laga sakti? Kyun? Itna bhi haq nahi mera tujhe? Tujhe ek baar hug karne ki bhi ijazat nahi hai?" Kunj asked softly.

"Itna sawal mat puchho Kunj. Jin sawalon ka mere paas jawab hi nahi, woh puch ke tumhe kya milega?" Twinkle asked desperately.

"Kyun na puchoo? Tujhe pe shahed ab haq nahi raha, lekin tujhse sawal karke jawab mange ka haq hai mujhe," Kunj said determinedly.

Twinkle felt her heart wrench. She'd seen Kunj cry before and she'd seen him break. She knew when he was a his weakest and this was one of those times. Kaise bataun tumhe Kunj ke mujh par hamesha sirf tumhara hi haq rahega.

"Kunj please! Mujhe bahut kam hai," Twinkle turned to walk away, but felt him grip her hand. With one swift movement, she found herself barricaded in Kunj's arms. One of hand we're looped around her waist, the other was still clasped onto her hand..

"Tu bhul gayi Twinkle? Mrs. Chopra ne tujhe meri PA banayi hai. Matlab main jo chahun, tujhe vo hi karna parega," Kunj said, a playful smirk gliding up his face. It almost made Twinkle smile. She had missed this childish behaviour of his. Then again, what hadn't she missed?

"Jawab nahi hai mere paas. Hai bhi toh sirf woh jawab jo dard deti hai," Twinkle wriggled in his grasp.

"Apni dard se darr nahi hai mujhe Twinkle. Tere dard se hai. Tujhe kuch hota hai na Twinkle, toh sirf tabhi mujhe kuch hota hai. Nahi to duniya mera kuch bigar sakta. Yeh baat tu aaj tak nahi samajh payi Twinkle," Kunj asked softly. Twinkle closed her eyes, but as always the tear fell anyways. Kunj gently lifted his thumb up to wipe it away.

"Kya Mr. Sarna? Hum 3 saal kya gayab hue, aap toh pura filmy ban gaye," Twinkle said with the ghost of smile.

"Tujhse sikha hoon. Itna filmi ban ke ghura firti thi, toh mujh pe bhi asar ho gaye. You're a bad influence," Kunj said teasingly.

"Main compliment de rahi thi aur tum mujhe taane suna rahi ho?" Twinkle said agitatedly.

"Voh compliment tha? Kamal hai, matlab tujhe toh compliment bhi dena nahi aata?" - Kunj

"Tumse toh behtar deti hoon. Aur vaise bhi filmy hona koi buri baat nahi hai? Bas class hona chahiye, Jo tumhare pas nahi hai." -Twinkle

"Class pe mat ja Twinkle, mein bata rahi hoon ha?" - Kunj

"Class nahi hai shayad lekin tumhara ego toh kitna bara hai. Kuch keh bhi nahi sakti hoon tumhe. Khadoos Sarna," - Twinkle

"Kya kaha tune mujhe? Khadoos? Main khadoos hoon? Tujhe toh main dikhati hoon," and suddenly he was tickling her. Twinkle shrieked out with laughter. His hand traveled up and down her stomach, making her giggle even louder. How many time had they done this? For as long as Twinkle could remember, this had been their way of ending fight.

"Kunj bas," Twinkle managed in between fits of laughter. Suddenly his fingers hit a bruise and she shrieked out in pain. Kunj's eyes widened and he stopped immediately.

"Kya hua? Kaha laga? Tu thik hai na?" his voice was filled with concern and it formed a knot down in Twinkle's stomach.

"Kuch nahi. Voh kuch din pehle main stairs pe slip ho gayi, toh thoda sa lag gaya," Twinkle said unconvincingly. There were 2 people in the world who Twinkle could never lie to, one was her mother and the other was standing right in front of her with an unconvinced look on his face.

"Sach, sach bata Twinkle. Yeh ussne kiya hai?" he said ussne as if saying Yuvi's name would be too much of a burden. Even after 3 years, the hatred still burned Kunj's voice.

"Maine kaha na. Main gir gayi thi," Twinkle said firmly.

"Jhoot. Tu mujhe kya samajhti hai Twinkle? Itni bhi bewakoof nahi hoon. Vaise tujhse yeh nahi expect kiya. Jo ladki hamesha right cheez ki liye ladti hai aaj woh ladki piche hat gayi?" Kunj said, almost mockingly. For the first time, Twinkle heard the resentment that she'd only been seeing in his eyes. The anger that he still had against her because of the hurt she had caused him, was pure in his voice.

"Mere aur Yuvraj ke beech mein jo kuch bhi hai, that's none of your business," Twinkle said coldly.

"Haan woh toh hai. Main kaun hota hoon, tere aur tere aashiq pe comment karne ke liye," Kunj said menacingly.

"Toh comment mat karo," Twinkle stated harshly, "vaise tum kitne dino ke liye reh rahe ho yahan par?"

"Kamal hai. Abhi aayi hoon aur tu already jaane ki baat kar rahi hai," he was back to his normal old self now. The same joking one, he had only been a mere few minutes ago.

"Just answer the question Kunj," Twinkle said adamantly. Instead of replying Kunj pushed her up against a wall. It wasn't the was Yuvi did, but done in a more gentle and loving way.

"Tujhe kya lagta hai, main tujhe dekhne ke baad yahan se jaldi chali jaungi? Kabhi nahi Twinkle. Main Amritsar wapas jaungi toh sirf tujhe saath lekar," Kunj whispered.

"Kunj," Twinkle breathed. Kunj placed a light kiss on her cheek, and with a soft smile he walked out of the room. Twinkle watched him leave, and in that moment she regain some of her previously lost belief. Perhaps her story did have a happy ending or at least a complete one.

Time may run out, but even that is not enough,

To wipe away the memories and shadows of our love,

The world can continue trying to tear us apart,

But we are soulmates, two parts of the same beating heart
