Part 1
Kunj felt surprised as Twinkle quickly withdrew her hand. "Oh , I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you,"
"You didn't," Twinkle says quickly.
Kunj just smiled back at her in response.
A little while passes in their long 9 hour flight and Twinkle keeps hesitating whether or not to ask Kunj for the magazine sitting in front of him.
"I"" Kunj starts at the same time as Twinkle.
"Can I""
They both stop and smile at each other.
"You first," Twinkle said.
"No, ladies first," Kunj gestures to her.
"Well. I was wondering if I could borrow that magazine." Twinkle points to it.
Kunj takes it out and hands it to her. "Was that it?"
Twinkle takes it and nods. "What did you want to say?"
"Oh well, I just think it's weird. We've been sitting together for more than 2 hours, and we haven't exchanged more than 2 words to each other," Kunj states.
Twinkle smiles slowly. "Do you usually talk a lot to your fellow passengers?"
Kunj shakes his head. "But when they're as beautiful as you; I tend to make an exception,"
Twinkle immediately turns red and turns to look out the window.
"Hey"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so forward," Kunj says to her.
"Don't worry about it," Twinkle says smiling back at him. "So Mr. Sarna. What's your reason to be heading to London?"
"Please, call me Kunj." He grins. "Anyways"what else but business do young guys like me know how to do?" He sighs dramatically, making Twinkle giggle. "What about you? Business or pleasure?"
"Both"" Twinkle sighs, before realizing she shouldn't have said anything.
"Oh? Those trips are always interesting," Kunj adds.
Twinkle shakes her head. "Not this one,"
"Something wrong?" Kunj asks.
"I"I'm not so sure I should tell a stranger problems that I haven't even confessed to my little sister," Twinkle smiles meekly at him.
"Okay I understand," Kunj turns his attention back to the screen in front of him and puts on his headphones. "You know where to find me if you want to talk,"
Twinkle smiles and shakes her head. "Telling someone right now, would be the best thing for me...but a stranger? I shouldn't"" Her willpower weakens and she turns to Kunj and taps his shoulder. "Can I have an ear to listen to my problems?"
Kunj smiles, "Always,"
Twinkle sighs. "Well the main reason I'm going to London is for my far cousin's wife's baby shower, but my Maami also wants to introduce me to this guy she thinks I should marry, but the bad thing is, I haven't told my little sister, Mahi, about it yet, only because I know she'll think I'm doing it as a sacrifice to help get her education done, and help her become a professional." Twinkle says quickly in one breath.
"Woah!"" Kunj manages to let out. "That's definitely intense,"
Twinkle puts her head in her hands. "I knew you wouldn't want to hear about my problems,"
"Hey"who said that?" Kunj instinctively is about to place his hand on her head, but then draws back and just leans down to her ear level. "I'm glad you trusted me, and I want you to know that I can help you if you want,"
Twinkle looks up. "How?"
"Well it does seem to me that you haven't told you sister about the proposal because you are doing it for her education?"
Twinkle slowly nods.
"I can help you," Kunj says happily. "I'd be more than willing to pay""
"Please stop there Mr. Sarna." Twinkle says, putting up her hand. "I don't want anyone's alms for my sister or for me,"
"Twinkle"" Kunj tries to interrupt.
"No, I don't want to talk about his again, I really appreciate that you'd be willing to help out someone you don't even know, but""
"That's just it!" Kunj snaps his fingers.
"What?"
"You don't want my help because we don't know each other right?" Kunj asks.
Twinkle nods.
"Well let's get to know each other?" Kunj suggests.
Twinkle rolls her eyes. "Yes. Let's get to know each other in a span of 8 hours on a plane! Pagal ho kya?" She turns the other way.
"Meri baat toh suno," Kunj puts his hand on her shoulder and makes her face him. "I know we don't know each other yet, and yes in 8 hours, you can't really know someone, but how about exchanging numbers or emails or something? That way whenever you feel you need to talk to someone who doesn't judge you, you have that person there," Kunj offers.
Twinkle thinks over it. "You just want to tell your friends that you got a girls number from a plane don't you?"
Kunj laughs. "Great. You found my ulterior motive,"
"Jokes apart, are you sure about this?"
"Hey"I'm always up for making new friends," Kunj says defensively. "No hidden meanings underneath, promise."
Twinkle smiles and takes out a card from her purse and exchanges it with Kunj.
"You're an interior designer?" Kunj asks. "Impressive,"
Twinkle reads over his card. "You're.. you're Kunj Sarna, the owner of Sarna Group of Industries?"
"Yeah," Kunj shrugs. "Is there a problem?"
Twinkle slowly shakes her head. "Maami had mentioned something about Sarna Group of Industries, kahi woh yeh toh nahi?" She quickly sneaks a glance at him, and catches him staring back at her with the same intensity. "I shouldn't have opened my mouth. I really hope nothing goes wrong,"
That was decently long!😉 I really hope you all liked it. It set more of the basis for the story! Do leave any comments or criticism!😃
