Chapter 22
It was evening and guests had started to arrive Kunj dressed in all the peacful blue Indo western looked nothing less than a King and of course Twinkle totally complemented him by blue lehnga she did look like a princess..
They both stared taking in each others dresses. Twinkle knew bubbly had specifically selected this outfit of Kunj matching to hers as the grooms clothes were chosen by the brides side...
"Nazar na lage mere dono bacho ko..."leela said with happy tears in her eyes. Twinkle hugged her and Kunj looked at them with a smile.
There were two decoratd chairs in between the hall where they were supposed to sit a stage was set with lights and flowers glittering
"Sath baithna zaruri hai kya" she said to herself only to be heard by him
"Baith jao siyappa queen... Amritsar ki ladkiya marti hai aise mere sath baithne k liye..."
She gave an expression like 'Really'..
Sangeet was a full party function chinki , bubly, Ishaan , Juhi , every1 performed and all enjoyed thorougly...
Just then a lights went off and focussed to a girl in center... she was dressed beautifully
The song Radha teri chunri started to play and as she revealed her face...
"Maya" kunj said with a smile looking at her...
Twinkle looked at him hearing what he spoke and looked at Maya... she hated to admit that she was beautiful indeed... but itni bhi nahi jitni ye Kunj tarif kar raha tha... as her performance ended every1 clapped and cheered her.
Even her mother standing beside her spoke audible to twinkle
'Kitni pyari bachi hai na... kitna mast dance kiya'
Ab ye hi baki tha babaji meri maa bhi...
As the claps stopped maya walked upto Kunj and hugged him...
Twinkle held the corner of her dress tightly only to consider it as Mayas neck...
Maya then came to twinkle...
" you are looking gorgeous... finally tum se mil payi... kitni bar kaha kunj ko ki muje milvaye tumse... but milvata hi nahi tha...apni khobsoorat biwi ko sabse chupa k rakha tha... haina Kunj"
And she hugged twinkle... Twinkle was taken aback but slightly hugged her back.
"Kya performance tha maya srsly... aaj tak mene kisi ladki ko aise perform karte hue nahi dekha.."
Kunj said eyeing twinkle...Twinkle looking away..
"Vaise Rishabh kaha hai maya?"
"Yahi tha pata nahi kaha chala gaya... me use bulake lati hu.." as she left
"Me usse better dance karti hu..."twinkle spoke audible to Kunj...
"Yeah... whatever... Kunj replied"
He was least bit interested in her talent.. she wanted him to challenge her and then she would show him.
"Ye hai Rishabh, Rishabh ye Kunj hai.. mere bachpan ka friend"maya again arrived with a man...
"Hi Rishabh nice to meet you man.. finally"kunj spoke as he shook hands with him
"Rishabh ye hai twinkle ... kunj ki hone vali biwi and.. Twinkle this is Rishabh, My Husband" and he greeted her formally with a shocked twinkle..
Maya was married aur ye Kunj isko bhi pata tha.. and she looked at Kunj who was looking everywhere but her and supressing a laughter...
All were having food and they were alone for a while
Twinkle wanted to give it back to him and as impulsive she is she dint realise what she was about to speak would hurt him
"Kunj tumhe sharam nahi ati ek shadi shuda ladki k bare me aise sochte ho,,tumhari shadi hone vali hai for gods sake" kunj tried to calm her down and tell her that there was nothing such in his mind...
"Kya twinkle... aisa kya keh diya mene... Twinkle maya meri bachpan ki dost hai.. hum saalo se ek dusre ko jante hai.,,and tum ye kya bol rhi ho... me kyu aisa karne laga"
"Kyuki tum is shadi se khush nahi ho... kyuki tumko vo bhot achi lagti hai... uske jaisi intelligent beautiful talented smart ladki tumne aaj tak nahi dekhi... tumhi ne toa bataya tha"
"Woh toa bas me tmhari tang khinch rha tha... ye tum bhi janti ho... aur kal hi toa humare bich baat hui thi tumne sharte rakhi thi aur mene kaha tha ki... me affair nahi rakhunga... tumhe meri baat par bharosa nahi hai kya"
"Jis tarah se tum behave kar rhe the... uski tarife kar rahe the ... ab nahi hai.., aur vaise bhi tumne toa kal clear kar hi diya tha ki tum shadi k bad rukne nahi vale...meri aakhri shart kaha mani thi tumne...tumne keh hi diya tha ki meri marzi ho ya na ho tum toa mujpar pati hone ka hak jata hi doge... jab tumhara man bhar jayega tab koi..."
"Twinkle ENOUGH" he stopped her from going furthr and say something she would regret..., "muje dukh hota hai ki tumko itna bhi bharosa nahi hai mujpe aur tumko dosti ka toa matlab nhi pata...,, shayad isliye ki koi ladka tumhara dost raha hi nahi hoga kabhi thanks to your BF yuvi...,,varna tumhe samj ata ki ek dost dost hota hai...muje laga ki ye jankar ki Maya married hai tum samj jaogi ki me mazak kar raha tha tumhare sath... aur bat vahi khatam hogi but tum toa... ek aur naye level pe muje gira rahi ho...
Baar baar mujpar advantage lene ka inzaam toa lagaya hi tha... ab ye tak soch liya ki me apni hi married dost par nazar dalunga..."
Twinkle was angry and dint realise what she was speaking as his words poured in she knew that she had crossed the limit.. she wanted to apologize again but..
He got up from his chair...started to leave he took a step and stopped
"Twinkle agar me kisi bhi cheez se sabse zyda hurt hota hu toa vo ye hai ki koi muje apne papa jaisa hone ka inzaam lagaye ya vaisa soche mere bare mein...
Aur tumne ek nhi do bar... aisa kiya hai...
Tumko mujpe bharosa nahi..toa tum ye kaise expect karti ho ki me tumpe bharosa karu...
Infact me bhi aise inzaam tumpe laga sakta hu... tumhara toa BF tha jiske sath brk up hue ek hafta bhi nahi hua... aur tum toa 7 saal se usse pyar karti thi... tum agar mujse kaho ki Yuvi se tmhara brk up ho gya hai... and ask me to trust you... toa tumko bhi us bharose ko return karna hoga... you cant play it both ways...
Agar me tumse kahu ki muje lagta hai ki tum Yuvi se ab bhi pyar karti ho aur.. kal shadi k mandap me muje chhod k usse bhag k shadi kar logi toa"..
He stopped twinkle as she was about to speak by raising his hand in the air gesturing her that he was still not finished ... still not looking at her..
"Shock lagta na tumko ki me ab bhi aisa sochta hu... aur tumhara yakin nahi kar raha... yahi soch rhi ho na ki me tumhare bare me aise kaise soch sakta hu...
Jab tumhare dimag ne ye sab khayal ayenge youll be exactly where I am...
"Twinkle bharosa karne ki jab tak koi vajah dhundogi kisi pe bhi bharosa nahi kar paogi..."
with that he left her standing near her chair with regretting eyes and apologies unspoken...
