"Kunj" she says, tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Twinkle..." I say her name with difficulty. She looked at my wounds. She was horrified.
"Why did you come here Kunj" she asks me cupping my face. "I..." Before I could say anything, her face started fading away. My eyes were shutting down.
"Kunj! Stay with me " Twinkle shouts, she shakes my shoulders. "Madan Bhai jaldi gaa..." My eyes shut down.
14 hours later
I opened my eyes. I was in a room, it wasn't my room. It was much bigger and had more light. No one was there. I tried getting up but my head felt really heavy. I touch my head it was bandaged.
"Twinkle" I call upon her name , I recalled what happened last night. How Twinkle had come back, how different she was, how she fought all those guys and I was proud of her.
Now even if Yuvi comes near her Twinkle would probably beat the life out of him. I literally imagined Yuvi getting beaten up by her and I truly enjoyed that scene in my mind.
Where is Twinkle? I thought to myself. With a lot of difficulty I sat up.
Then I heard the sound of the door. A man came in with food. "Ye li jiye " he said. "Twinkle kaha pe hai" I ask the man.
"Twinkle Baby ji tho Tiger Saab ke saath hai" he says. Who is Tiger? I thought, even yesterday the group of guys mentioned his name, what is Twinkle doing with him so many questions . But as of now I just wanted to go to her.
"Pehle aap khaana Ka li jiye" the man tells me handing over the plate. I keep the plate aside ,"Nahi mujhe Twinkle se Milna hai" I tell him.
"Teekh hai main aap ko waha le jata hoon" He tells me. He helps me stand up. He walks ahead I walk behind him slowly . The house was huge much more bigger than our house. There were so many men. They were all holding guns, they all had a stern look. I just avoided eye contact with them.
My eyes were looking for Twinkle. Where was she? The man stopped and pointed towards the room. "Aap seedhe waha jaiye " he tells me and goes.
I go there. I peep through the door. Twinkle was sitting with a man they were facing the opposite side so only their backs were visible to me. The man was well built. Twinkle looked so tiny next to him. "Itne din ke baad He..." She said trying to grasp her breath.
She was crying badly. Why? Was she crying. What happened? I thought I was just about to go in then I saw her rest her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his hand around her shoulder. And looking at all this I was really annoyed.
"Bhaiyya aap bataye main kya karoon" Twinkle says.
She called him Bhaiyya, I was relieved. He was like her brother so I had no reason to worry . Phew!
"Mujhse lad" he tells her standing up.
What? I thought to myself who the hell says that. She is crying and that guy is asking her to fight with him.
"Bhaiyya ab mood nahi hai" she says crossing her arms.
"Tu Dar rahi hai na" he says laughing.
A small smile crept upon her face. Her face lit up. "Main Jeet jaongi" she says. "Dekhte hai" he says.
She wrestled with him. She was laughing. It had been days since I had seen her laughing.
I felt really guilty about not trusting her that day. The memories of that day on the cliff flashed before my eyes. My eyes started filling up.
I thought I had lost her. But now I was so happy that I have her back. I closed my eyes for a moment and thanked Babaji.
"Kunj!" I open my eyes to see Twinkle . Her smile fades away. The man looks at me with anger. "Twinkle woh main..." I say.
"Kunj! You are not feeling well, you should take rest" she tells me in a low tone, she was avoiding eye contact with me. " woh main tumse..." I say. Twinkle looked up and walked towards me.
The man holds her arm and stops her. "Mujhe Uss se baat Karni hai" he says. "Bhaiyya par..." She says.
He comes towards me and says "Let's have a chat shall we" he says keeping his hand on my shoulder. He gave a smile but I could see the anger behind the smile that he was faking.
But why was he angry I thought. "Bhaiyya main bhi aati hoon" Twinkle says.
"No mujhe iss se Akele main baat Karni hai" he says. He says "Chale" I nod. I walk slowly along with him.
He didn't say anything for a while he was just quiet, then we reached a place where no one was around ,I asked him "What do you wanna talk about?"
He holds the collar of my shirt and says "Tum Meri Behen se door raho ge, samjha". He leaves my collar and walks away.
"Twinkle Meri Biwi Hai, And now that I know that she is alive, I can't stay away from her" I tell him.
He turns back and bangs me to the wall. My head hit the wall it started paining. I closed my eyes tight to try and control the pain.
"You have no Idea what she went through because of you, If she didn't love you I would have killed you by now" he says.
