A small Note:
Hey guys updating part 3 of this SS. This part belongs to Twinkle and her own thoughts. You will not find Kunj's physical presence anywhere in this part but he is always present in her mind and memories. I just felt like to keep this entire part to show her thoughts, feelings and emotions.
Please drop your comments. Happy Reading. Love you all.

Part: 3
It was late evening when Twinkle pressed the door bell. Leela who was panicked for her immediately opened the door and with her surprise found Twinkle who was lost in her own thoughts. She hugged her tight.
Leela: Twinkle puttar tujha pata hai na kitni pareshan thi mein. I know Babaji is there to protect you from all the evils but you should be more careful.
Twinkle: Sorry Maa. You know na during exam time I get so much engrossed in studies that I forget the important things.
Leela: Achcha ja puttar go and change your dress. Tomorrow is your exam. I will bring coffee for you.
Twinkle: That's like my sweet mom. Maa thoda alu ki pakode bhi lee ana. I am hungry and craving your pakodas.
Leela: Achcha baba. Abhi layyee meri ladli beti ki favorite pakodas. Btw puttar ye umbrella kiski hain? I don't think you have a blue umbrella.
Twinkle suddenly looked at the folded umbrella which she was holding tight. It was still wet and water droplets were pouring down.
Twinkle: Maa this is my friend's umbrella. I told you na a friend of mine helped me to find the taxi.
Leela: Achcha. That's so nice of that person to lend you this umbrella. Otherwise you could have got fever. But return it to that friend tomorrow. Aur sath mein thanks bhi bolde na from my side.
Twinkle nooded her head in yes and walked towards her room. She locked the room and look at the umbrella. She totally forgot to return it. Even Kunj didn't tell her anything. Pata nehi wohh kal milega bhi ya nehi. He was all drenched and didn't care of himself. It was so stupid of her not to say him a thank you. What will he think? She must meet him tomorrow and return the umbrella and say a thank you. But she just knows his name and department. Itne sare students hain how would she be able to find him? And what surprised her more is she was not able to tell Maa about Kunj. A random guy helped a girl to find a Taxi. There is no harm in it but why is she having a strange feeling? She thought in her mind that Kunj might have recited the poem to impress her. She shouldn't care. She kept the umbrella aside and changed into her trousers and tee and heard the knock on her door.
Leela: Aja puttar. Coffee and pakodas are ready.
Twinkle: Munching on a pakoda "Maa you are the best. It's simply awesome. You are the best cook in the world."
Leela: Achcha jee. Mein janti hu puttar even the simplest things make you happy. Your happiness is visible in your eyes. Babaji kare tujhe koi aisa mile jo tujhe har boh khushi de jo tere dil ko chu le. I know my daughter well. She loves the scent of the rain, loves the starry sky at night and loves the voice of her loved ones. Itni shemi maat raha kar. Kitne achchi laagti hain meri phul jaisi bachchi haste huye.
Twinkle: Maa tum bhi na. I just said I love your pakodas and you got so emotional. Abb roo maat dena. Leela patted her back and hugged her once again.
Twinkle decided not to read more at that night and sleep early as the next day she had to wake up early for her exam. She went to bed right after dinner and once again the blue umbrella attracted her. She held it very mildly and was about to keep it in her college bag when some lines printed on that umbrella caught her eyes. She brought the umbrella more closer and read the verses:
You say that you love rain, but you open your umbrella when it rains.
You say that you love the sun, but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines.
You say that you love the wind, but you close your windows when wind blows.
This is why I am afraid, you say that you love me too.
She didn't know how many times she read the verses but she read those again and again and suddenly she remembered the face of that guy whom the umbrella belonged to. She didn't know why but she felt like to have a walk in the rain with that guy holding his hands...she just sat by the window watching the wind blowing the tree limbs and thought in herself the feeling was completely new. She didn't know what was that...what that could be named?? Love, desire, passion or madness??? She just knew she could smell the fragrance of it and she felt like if she could meet him for one last time...tears started started to flow silently from her cheeks to purify her heart...
