"Ladoo!" Twinkle shouted excitement, seeing the heaping pile of assorted circular sweets being towered into a pyramid.
She had raised her hand to pick one, when Kunj swatted it away.
"These aren't for you. So don't you dare eat one." He warned, pointing his index finger at her and peering at her with his eyes.
"Then who are they for?" She asked with a pout, rubbing her hand.
"It's a surprise. For your mom." Kunj answered, straightening his back.
"Haaww," Twinkle feigned surprise with an open mouth. "So my mom can get yummy sweets, but not her daughter?"
"Of course. If the mother is 100x better than the daughter, then obviously she deserves all this." Kunj said cheekily.
"That's not true! I deserve all these ladoos too for putting up with you!" Twinkle complained.
"And what about your mom for putting up with you all these years? It took me two weeks of being married to you to finally know all the trouble she had to go through. Thank the Lord for your uncle being there otherwise she would have lost all her youth and beauty because of you." Kunj teased.
"Kunj!" Twinkle exclaimed hitting him on the arm.
"This!" Kunj exclaimed, pointing at his arm. "This is why you don't deserve a single sweet! With actions so hurtful, you don't deserve good things."
Kunj faced away, returning to his task of making the ladoos.
"I'm sorry." Twinkle held her ears and apologized, pushing her lips out in a strong pout.
Tears were threatening to spill out of her huge eyes.
"That's not fair Twinkle," Kunj answered, slumping his shoulders, knowing his heart already gave in.
"But I'm sorry." She apologized once more, her voice cracking in between.
A tear fell.
Kunj dropped the sweet and cupped her face. Wiping away her tear with his thumb, he gave her a quick kiss.
"The real reason why I don't want to give you the ladoos is because you're the most sweetest woman that I have ever met. And I don't wish to get diabetes from the sugar overload every time I do this." Kunj kissed her once more, this time long and careful.
Nudging his nose with hers, he spoke softly, "It's my duty to thank your mom for such a sweet gift."
Twinkle grinned and hid her face in his chest.
