“Mumm” But before Twinkle cud complete her sentence she felt something wrap around her waist wid a force.. N something clasped against her mouth before she cud stifle a scream.. She was unable to move her hands. She was pinned against d wall vehemently ..
“Ummhhhmm.. ” Twinkle tried to speak..
“Sshh… ” Kunj silenced her..
Twinkle signalled no wid her eyes widened out n moving from one corner to another.. Struggling to free her hands.. Finally she succeeded.. She swiftly removed his hands from her mouth n shouted..
“Yeah mom!! As usual tripping me..!!! It’s just another tym I knocked over something” Twinkle said in one breath..
“Okay.. U need ny help…?? ” Her mom asked..
“Nopes mom! I’ll handle..!!! Having maggi n coffee.. Do not disturb!! ” Twinkle managed to speak in d pathetic situation..
“Okay.. Gud nyt!! ” Her mom left saying dis..

“Whaattt..??? What was dat..?? Can u plz explain me…??? ” Twinkle growled in anger..
“Ummm.. I dn’t know.. I thought u wud tell ur mom about me.. ” Kunj answered scratching his head..
“U r always dis duffer or is der something special?? ” Twinkle scowled..
“Hahh.. I dn’t know.. ” Kunj said dumbly..
“I only asked u to come up na..?? N I m a gal.. I’d obvio try not to create a scene.. ” Twinkle frowned wid raised eyebrows..
“Yaaa.. Umm.. Mmm.. Sry.. I dn’t know wht happened to me… ” Kunj replied..

“Hehehe.. Agree Sir.. Now wud u plz leave me now..?? My maggi.. Haaye.. My maggi ” Twinkle made a puppy face..
“Yupp.. ” Kunj answered quickly leaving her realising how brainless he acted..
“U r srsly dumb I tell u..!!! ” Twinkle laughed playfully spanking his forehead..
“Arreee.. I m not dumb! Srsly.. Ask me nythng.. I can answer nythng.. ” Kunj was smiling like an idiot..
“Yeah.. Yeah.. Mr. Sarna I can see how intelligent u r! ” Twinkle mocked..
“Fyn!! I concur dat I acted dumb! I got scared.. I din’t want to go to jail yaar.. :/ ” Kunj said..
“Hahahaha.. U were either way not going to.. Now be quiet n eat dis.. ” Twinkle said handling him d bowl of maggi..
“Yeah.. Thnx..!! ” Kunj said stuffing his mouth..
“Ahemm ahemm.. Some1 shud share I guess.. ” Twinkle said clearing her throat..
“No.. I m not going to share dis!! It’s actually yummy..!! U know I never had dis much tasty maggi.. Which spices u used..??? ” Kunj asked widout pausing for a second..
“Well… I put oregano n some extra spices.. Ahaan.. Dn’t befool me.. M not going to leave my maggi like dis.. Here.!! One spoon.. ” Twinkle said trying to snatch d fork from his hands..
“Ahaan.. No..!! I said no!! Statue!!! ” Kunj said pointing his finger towards her..
Twinkle also froze.. She was gazing at him wid a twinkle in her eyes longing for single spoon of her maggi..
“Hehehehe.. Well.. Dat’s gudd..!!! ” Kunj laughed looking at her…
“Uhuun uhuun.. One spoon.. ” Twinkle babbled like a child..
“Hahaha.. No.. I mean no!!! 😀 ” Kunj grinned..
“Dis is not done.. I declare d game over.. ” Twinkl
e said moving towards Kunj snatching d bowl from his hands..
“Uuunnn.. ” Kunj made a puppy face..
Twinkle looked inside d bowl.. Der was only one spoon left.. She quickly took d fork out.. She looked at Kunj..
“Awwww.. Dn’t make so cute faces now.. ” Twinkle said..
Kunj din’t say nythng.. Rather he stood quiet..
“Huhhh.. I dn’t like sharing my maggi.. But it’s fyn! Have it.. ” Twinkle frowned moving d face in front of his face n turning her face away in anger..
He hastily ate d half of d noodles n took d fork from her hand… Without wasting 1 more second he moved towards Twinkle wid d noodles still in d fork..
Twinkle saw him n wid d noodles still left her eyes enlightened.. She ate the whole in one go.. N moved forward for her cup of coffee delighted..
“Coffee..??? ” She asked him..
“Yup.. But one cup..?? Again wanna fight like dis..?? ” Kunj chuckled..
“Hehehe.. No!! U have one sip n thn I’ll have one.. ” Twinkle said sipping her coffee peeking at him..
“Sure! ” Kunj grinned..
“A game too.. Wid every sip, we will song a line of any song with eyes in eyes!! 😛 ” Twinkle jumped..
“Umm.. Okay! But before dat can v sit.. 😛 M tired of standing ” Kunj said..
Twinj settled on her bed..
“Ur turn first! ” Twinkle said passing d mug to Kunj..
“Ankhiya milau kabhi ankhiya churau kabhi..
Kya tune kiya jaadu.. ” Kunj said winking at her sipping coffee..
“Dhak dhak karne laga..
Haan mora jiya darne laga.. ” Twinkle sang grinning taking another sip of coffee..
“Hum to hai cappuccino..
Pee lo zara haseeno.. ” Kunj sang wid a chuckle having coffee..
“Aaj Botlan Khullan Do,,
Daru Sharu Ghullan Do,,
Whisky Da Peg Laga Ke,,
Saari Duniya Bhullan Do.. ” Twinkle grinned taking sip..
“Ena vi naa dope-shope mareya karo
Sanu eh naa keh nakk chahdeya karo” Kunj chuckled wid another sip..
“Ladke o re ladke kahaan se aaya hai re tu
Pyara hai re shaqal se
Akal ka mara hai re tu” Twinkle grimaced wid mischief sipping her coffee..
“Pagli ladki hai naadaan isko buddhi do bhagwan
Ha iske gann-nakshatra hai weak
Iske lakshan nahi hai theek
Iski khatre mein hai jaan
Isko buddhi do bhagwan” Kunj sang..
“Naina re
Tu hi bura, tu hi bura
Tujhse bura na koye
Khud hi dil ka rog lagaaye
Khud hi baitha roye
Naina re” Twinkle sang snatching d mug from his hands..
“Twinkle.. Dat’s it.. I dn’t wanna sing more.. ” Kunj said..
Twinkle cud analyse d sadness on his face n tone..
“What happened Kunj.. ” Twinkle asked pulling his chin up..
“Nthng.. Umm.. Finish now.. ” Kunj said half-heartledly..
“Ek din kabhi jo khud ko taraashe
Meri nazar se tu zara, haaye re
Aankhon se teri kya kya chhupa hai
Tujhko dikhaaun main zara, haaye re
Ik ankahi si daastaan daastaan
Kehne lagega aaina Subhanallah… ” Twinkle sang taking his hands in her hands..
“Meri khamoshi se baatein chun lena
Unki dori se taarifein bun lena” Kunj said..
“No more sad huhh..!! Othrwise I’d call mumma.. ” Twinkle chuckled..
“Okay.. ” Kunj smiled..
“Now tell what happened y u stop singing..??? ” Twinkle asked gently..
“Nthng.. Just some past memories rushed.. N .. I cudn’t speak.. ” Kunj said still managing to keep his smile..
“Raat akeli hai bujh gaye diye aake mere paas kaano main mere
Jo bhi chaahe kahiye” Twinkle teased Kunj..
“Subah Hone Na De
Saath Khone Na De
Ek Dusre Ko Sone Na De
Main Tera Hero” Twinkle grinned..
“Achaaa.. Come.. ” Twinkle giggled moving closer towards him..
“Twinkle.. I was just kidding.. ” Kunj quickly pushed her away..
“Hahaha.. Even I was kidding yaar.. 😛 ” Twinkle laughed..
“Yeah.. N it’s too much late.. I shud leave now.. Thnk u Twinkle for evrythng.. ” Kunj said getting up..
“Just a second.. ” Twinkle said wiping d coffee from her lips..
Kunj smiled… N somehow again managed to descend down d same pipeline..
Twinkle was watching him intently n waved him goodbye n smiled again..
**********
Kunj decided to walk to his apartment n plugged in his headphones..
“Pehli nazar mein
Kaise jaado kar diya
Tera ban baita hai
Mera jiya
Jaane kya hoga
Kya hoga kya pata
Is pal ko milke
Aa jee le zara
Mein hoon yahan
Tu hai yahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Aa bhi ja”
***********
Twinkle also turned on her music player listening to d song..
“tu bin bataye mujhe le chal kaheen,,
jahan tu muskuraye meri manzil wahin,,
meethi lagi, chakh ke dekhi abhi,,
mishri ki dali, zindagi ho chali,,
jahan hain teri baahein mera sahil wahin…
tu bin bataye mujhe le chal kaheen,,
jahan tu muskuraye meri manzil wahin…. ”
