Because I love you
He had started the role play to reduce the tension between them. However after he had gotten her miffed today, he realized they were already married so that meant he couldn't just get away with teasing her like he had.
Kunj had to smile to himself of course. Twinkle was jealous. She couldn't stand ten minutes of seeing another girl that close to him.
He couldn't refrain from silently rejoicing in his success.
He clenched his fists together and exclaimed, "Yes she feels for me!"
Twinkle popped into the room to get ready to sleep. She glared at him sternly.
" Kya hai? Aise kyun dekhre ho? You should hang out with Vandy By the way I apologized to her before they left," she quipped.
Kunj frowned. Why would Twinkle go on her own to apologize? He figured she had found it important to apologize as Vandy was wearing one of Twinkle or Mahi's outfits when they left.
Now he knew it had been Twinkle who apologized and offered his friend a change in clothes.
He smiled and approached her.
"Maine soocha ki tum use sorry nahin bolegi," he stated.
"Kyun mere paas dimaag hai. Common sense toh mere paas hai," she retorted.
" Kaunsa common sense?," he challenged her.
"Ki muhje aapne pati ki friends ki saath aise behave ne karna chaiye," she stammered.
He eyed closely.
"Kuch aur baat hai, Mrs. Twinkle Taneja Sarna!," he hissed.
" Aur baat kya ho sakti hai? Tumhe mana ki nahin, woh toh meri problem nahin hain, " Twinkle stated as she tried to walked away.
"Tuhme farak kyun parta hai?,"Kunj exclaimed.
"Kyunki main..," she trailed off.
Kunj enclosed her figure against the wall behind them.
"Bol na," he insisted.
She got lost in his eyes.
She recalled all the times he stood besides her and when he saved her from drowning.
The family catching them doing the noodle test had been embrassing but the fact the noodle hadn't broken.
Was Kunj right? The noodle test had proved they were meant to be. However , Twinkle knew it from the other day at the gudhawara when she had the urge to touch his feet and when he had hurt himself in order to nurse her burnt hand.
This was love.
Feeling his warm breath closer to her face and his fingers playing with her hair. She finally opened her mouth to confess her truest feelings.
"Because I love you," she whispered.
His grasp was now around her waist as he pulled her in against him. It reminded her of last night when she had blurted out she was hungry.
No this time she wouldn't ruin their moment. She was ready now.
"Phirse kaho," he urged.
"I ..
"Main bhi tumse bauth pyaar karta hoon Twinkle."
His words made her feel goosebumps across her back.
Then she leaned in and he captured her lips with his, sealing the deal of commitment they would hold onto to the rest of their lives.
A few moments later, Kunj stepped back.
He gazed at her flushed face. He leaned in to give her a chaste kiss on her forehead.
She gripped his hand, he interwined his fingers with hers like he had done a few days earlier when they returned from the competition.
That night they slept without the pillow barrier. She made his broad chest her pillow. He wrapped his arms around her like a shield.
Their souls were at peace and their faces expressed it. The moonlight highlighted their glow of the dawn of love.
