Hello friends!I'm Natasha and new to Tashan e ishq forum.
Hope you like the OS.đ
Twinkle lay wide awake on the bed staring at the ceiling.No matter how hard she tried she could not bring herself to sleep.The moment she would close her eyes,the events of the the past few days would play in her mind in a sequence-her finding out the truth about her father, Leela slapping her,RT's accident,Twinkle rushing to the hospital and most importantly the fact that Kunj had hidden the truth from her.Twinkle had accepted the truth that RT was her father but she had yet to warm upto him.RT was recuperating at her mother's home and she had visited them yesterday to politely tell them that she had accepted RT but she needed some time to get used to the idea of having a father.Her anxious parents had hesitantly agreed.
On the other hand Twinkle and Kunj's relation had been badly affected once again.She was avoiding him at all costs.She would wake up in the morning before him and be in the kitchen till he left for college.In the evening, she would again be in the kitchen cooking dinner for everyone along with bebe and pretend to be tired and sleepy if at all Kunj tried to talk to her.She herself did not know what was happening,she wanted to forgive him,everytime she would look at him,his pleading eyes would beg her to at least listen to her once but she couldn't,she just couldn't.
One evening she got a call from Chinki to meet in the central park and Twinkle immediately agreed in order to do avoid Kunj who was soon to return from college.
Twinkle had been waiting in the park for 15 minutes now.She had called Chinki atleast 10 timed but it was unreachable.
"Chinki is not here Twinkle."
Twinkle was about to leave when she heard his voice from behind her.She was not ready to face him yet but she knew he had trapped her and now she could not escape.She turned around very slowly looking at the grass.She heard him take slow step towards her and she instinctively took a step back but stopped herself.
You have to this Twinkle.She calmed herself.
Kunj ever so lightly grabbed her shoulders.
"Will you please look at me Twinkle."
Twinkle did as she was told and regretted it instantly.His eyes spoke volumes of his longiness,his guilt,his care,everything,everything for her,because of her.He had grown light beard and his shoulders were drooped as if he had just lost a battle.She could not see Kunj like this especially when she was the reason.
"Kunj i...i dont know what to..."'
He squeezed her shoulders indicating her stop.
"Twinkle i know how you feel but i just want you to hear me out,give me a chance,allow me to justify what i did.Please Twinkle."
Twinkle gazed deeply into his eyes that were pleading once again.She nodded meekly in response.
Relieved, Kunj began,"Twinkle i know what i did was wrong,i knew how you felt about your father and still i chose to hide it from you but I would have done the same thing if given another shot at it."
Twinkle jerked his hands away angrily and took a step back,hurt flashed in Kunj's eyes.
"I know that Kunj and if i would have been at your place probably i would have done the same thing.The issue is not that.What you need to understand is that you accused me of not trusting you and you did the same to me.You did not trust me enough to handle the truth."
Kunj again took a step towards her.
"I wanted to protect you."
Twinkle had not even imagined that such 5 simple words could mean so much to her.Those words justified all what he did for her.He never for a second had doubted her ability to handle the truth,he simply wanted to protect her and he would do it again,over and over again.A certain kind of warmth surrounded her heart and slowly spread through her entire body.Everything he did was for her and it will always be for her.Tears began to roll down her cheeks and her vision blurred.
Before Kunj could comprehend what was happening Twinkle ran right into his arms.Kunj taken aback by this gesture took a step back to balance both their weights.He placed one hand on her head and the other on her forearm.Twinkle lay her head in the crook of his neck and placed a hand on his heart.Such a small action caused her heart to flutter and she relaxed in his arms.Both of them stood quietly in their world of bliss for a while and then pulled away.Twinkle was about to wipe off her tears but Kunj beat her to it and completed the task,his hands now cupped her cheeks.
"Twinkle i hope you know by now that i will always be there for you."
Butterflies flew in her stomach and her heart fluttered so she did what she always did to avoid this feeling,she folded her arms and teased him.
"If you are expecting the same from me Mr Kunj Sarna then you are wrong.''
"Im not expecting Mrs Sarna i know that you will do the same.''
Even though he had said in a playful tone,the edge of conviction was hard to miss.
"Y-yeah yeah we will see about that,''Twinkle said fumbling.
Now if you are done Siyaapa Queen mind if we appreciate the beauty around us.Look there is a bench over there,''Kunj said pointing in the opposite direction,"lets sit over there."
A couple of minutes passed in silence.
"Kunj!I have an idea.''
Twinkle clapped her hands in front of her and turned sideways to look at Kunj who had been quietly gazing at the stars.
He sat upright.Twinkle's face was lit up like a diwali light and her smile was infectious which made Kunj smile too.Her antics were so childish, she was just so adorable and cute.Her eyes were sparkling with such happiness.
He motioned her to continue.
"How about we start over?"
Kunj was confused.Twinkled went on to elaborate.
"We are neither friends nor lovers but unfortunately or fotunately we are stuck together.''
Kunj raised his eyebrows but did not say anything.
"Let us just forget everything that happened in the past and start over by becoming friends."
She put forward her right hand.
"Hi!I'm Twinkle Sarna and you are?"
Kunj looked at her and then at her extended hand and then back at her face.
"Really Twinkle?''
"Please Kunj you are spoiling all the fun.''
He rubbed the back of his neck and finally shook hands with her.
"Hi!I'm Kunj Sarna,nice to meet you."
An idea struck him and he got up,"Be right back"
He came back minutes later and got down on one knee in front of her.He held out a yellow rose for her.
"Will you be my friend?''
For the second time today,Twinkle experienced that alien feeling,her heart fluttered and butterflies did a dance of their own in her stomach.
She blushed profusely and accepted the rose,her fingers brushing his in the act.They held each other's gaze,daring one other to look away.Twinkle looked away giving up on the challenge.
Kunj stood up and so did Twinkle.
"Shall i drop you home Mrs Sarna?I'm sure your husband might be worried.''Kunj smirked.
"Ofcourse he will be because he thinks i'm a child who will get lost.''said Twinkle disapprovingly.
"You know if i don't get home on time my wife will think that I'm cheating on her.''Kunj smirked again.
"Kunj!You!''Twinkle shouted and ran behind him to hit him.
Things were yet to fall in place,they were yet to fall in love but they had each other's backs and that is what was important for now.
