Kunj: Hi, How are you?
Twinkle: Tikh hun…
Twinkle is a bit nervous meeting Kunj as she couldn’t talk to Tej.
Kunj thinks, ‘Isne toh apne daddy se keh diya lagta hain…Kal mere saath kya hua…Abb isse kaise batau…’ (I am sure she has told her dad everything. How to explain what happened to me yesterday while talking to Sanjay.)
Twinkle: Vo kal maine dad se… (Yesterday Dad and…)
Kunj: Arrey, Chill…Itna stressed out mat reho…We will have serious talks later..You take rest for now.
Kunj sits back in sofa reading newspapers.
After sometime,
Kunj: Sona nai hai? (You are awake?)
Twinkle: Pakk gayi hu so so ke…(I am fed up of sleeping..)
Kunj: I can understand..
Twinkle: Yahan ke deewaron se bhi pakk gayi hun…Kuch bhi toh nahi hain entertaining…Baithe baithe bhi bor ho jaati hun…(I am sick of these hospital walls and paintings…I get bored…There is nothing entertaining here…)
Kunj (With a smile…): Hota hain… Ek mahina hone ko hain… (It happens…It’s almost a month…)
Twinkle: I don’t know about 1 month coz I was unconscious..But from last 2 days…It’s horrible…The same room, typical hospital paintings and these machines…
Kunj just smiles…
Twinkle: Don’t you feel bored? As you said..a month…
Kunj looks at her weirdly.
Twinkle: I know what you are thinking…
Twinkle: Generally I am kind a introvert…I don’t gel with people..But this boredom is killing me…I need to talk and smile…Do something…something other than sleeping and looking at the walls…
Kunj laughs…
Kunj: That’s okay..We can talk…
Kunj folds the paper and keeps it on table.
Kunj: Anyone would have got of borred of these things…But I am not…Frankly I didn’t get time to think about these things…
Twinkle is happy that he started talking.
Kunj: I mean.. I was worried about your health..Was running behind the doctors and medical stores..Sonography reports… In between some share business come up….So had no time to think…
Twinkle: I bothered you a lot…
Kunj (with a smile): A lot…
Twinkle smiles…
Kunj: These all were bearable ones…But you gave us some real shocks…You went to coma and then ventilator…
Twinkle: Hmm
Kunj: We had a hope that you will be back from coma…But that night, when you needed ventilator…You have no idea what I and uncle had gone through…
Twinkle: Thanks for supporting dad..
Kunj: I think you should thank yourself…
Twinkle: Matlab?
Kunj: You have gifted this nice,sanskari damad to Uncle…
Twinkle (With a cute smile):; ohh…In that way…
Twinkle: Vaise…Tumne bohut ache se sab sambhal liya…(You handled everything very well…I mean as a boyfriend…)
Kunj: I was left with no choice….Had to…
Twinkle: Dad and my friends are impressed with you… Everyone says you are the perfect boyfriend/ partner material…
Kunj: I don’t know what a perfect boyfriend material is…Just did whatever I felt like…Kept doing what I would do if my partner/girl friend was in this situation…
Kunj: Biggest challenge was your dad…I was never into a relationship….So I was hell nervous when I faced Tej uncle for the first time as your boyfriend.
Twinkle: Don’t lie…I can’t believe you were never into a relationship…I mean you are tall ,smart and handsome…Any girl will fall for you…
Kunj: It’s just that I am super busy with my studies, part time work and shares… Relationship needs time, attention and care…I don’t have time for this…
Twinkle is listening…
Kunj: Thanks for the praise…
Twinkle smiles..
Twinkle: I had talked to Dad yesterday..
Kunj understood that talks are getting into serious mode.
Twinkle: I tried a lot to tell him the truth…But everytime he was cutting me and telling something good about you…He is damn happy to see you as my partner…He feels you are the perfect one for me…I just couldn’t break that…
Kunj: But…
Twinkle: I know…I can’t bother you much…You have lots of things to do and I have troubled you to the core till this time…
Kunj: It’s not that…
Twinkle: I am the one who has got you into this…And it’s my responsibility to get you out of this…I will…
Kunj: Twin…
Twinkle: I will…Trust me…I will do it…Give me one more day…
Kunj understood that she won’t let him speak. He just gives an expression of ‘as you say’ with his hand..
Twinkle stops and looks at him..
Kunj: Mujhe ache se samaj aa gaya ki kaise uncle ne tume kal baat kerne nahi diya… (I clearly understood how Uncle didn’t let you speak…)
Twinkle: Matlab?
Kunj: Jaise tumne mujhe abhi ek shabd bolne nahi diya…Vo to tumhare papa hain… (You didn’t let me speak a word…Afterall he is your father…He will be double than you…)
Twinkle: Oohh…You wanted to say something…Go ahead…
Kunj: That’s okay..Even I couldn’t talk to Sanjay…I was about to tell that…
Twinkle: Ohh…
Kunj: Mera toh tumse bhi bada scene ho gaya… (Mine was a bit more dramatical…)
Flashback
After hospital, Kunj decides to have dinner with Sanjay at restaurant so that he can talk to him.
At restaurant, Kunj orders drinks to get a start to the conversation.
Sanjay: Finally…Our wait is over…Twinkle is back…This definitely calls for a celebration….Cheers…
Kunj: Cheers…
Sanjay: I know you couldn’t control your excitement…That’s why you called me…I had some projects to be finished…But definitely my priority is you and Twinkle..
Kunj: Thanks for coming..
Kunj tries to start the talk..
Kunj: Remember, how we met for the first time, At hospital…
Sanjay (Laugh): How can I forget…I was so rude to you at those times…
Kunj: Hmm…
Sanjay: I was always suspecting you…I had this weird story in mind…
Kunj: ya…
Sanjay: I thought she is with a wrong guy and I somehow wanted to protect her from you…I had all the rights to suspect you…
Kunj: You were being a true friend…
Sanjay: But you changed my opinion… The day you cried your heart out… I understood that you are perfect for her…You care her, you love her the most…
Kunj: I wanted to talk to you about that only…Our relationship…
Sanjay: Our relationship…We started as enemies and now are friends…I said friends…not my friend’s boyfriend…
Kunj: I was referring to my and Twinkle’s relationship..
Sanjay: I was coming to that only…Generally I am supposed to have a casual relationship as you are my friend’s boy friend…But for me you are not that…Trust me, you are my friend…likeTwinkle and Alisha…
Kunj: I know…
Sanjay: No, you don’t…I will tell you…We make friends and some stay back with you at your bad times and some don’t. But we met at a bad phase of life and survived that together…We fought with every issues…I knew that you are there to take care of Twinkle at any given point of time..You also knew that I won’t leave Twinkle at any circumstances…
Kunj (with a smile): Hmm
Sanjay: No, you are not understanding my point…my friend…See,we make friends with a hope that they will be with us at all bad times..Hope…
Kunj: Yes…
Sanjay: Hope..The word is hope..You hope…But for us, we directly started it off from trust. We started at the worst period of our life..We faced everything trusting each other. Relations starting at the crisis situations last long…I will tell you why…
Kunj: Hmm
Sanjay: I know what you are thinking…I am high that’s why I am talking all this…
Kunj: No, I was just listening…
Sanjay: Okay..So relationships…We express our real faces when you are on bad phase.. I will explain…In any relation, be it friendship,marriage or lovelife, we try to show our goody goodies at first..You are liking them and then getting attracted to them…You don’t see the negatives…the anger, jealousy, sorrow are not seen first…Later when you see the negative side of them, you start to have issues in the realtion.But in our case, I have seen your anger, sorrow and insecurities…Same way you have seen my anger and rudeness..
Kunj nods his head..
Sanjay: You got it right.?
Kunj: Yes…
Kunj: I have understood your point..I wanted to tell you something…About Twinkle…
Sanjay: That’s what I said…I got connected to you as Twinkle’s boyfriend…But now Twinkle is not there…We are friends…Thick friends…Okay…
Kunj: Yes..
Sanjay: Don’t forget…I am there…for you and Twinkle…At any point of life…Just a call away…
Sanjay was going on and on…Kunj got to know that Sanjay is high and there is no point in talking. He even had a doubt whether he will remember tomorrow what he was talking..
Flashback over..
Twinkle: Ohh..god…
Kunj: In short, yesterday I had a gyan session on relationships…
Twinkle: He is unstoppable after a drink…I can imagine your situation…I had to go through his gyan session once, after a party…
Kunj: Man…It was horrible…
Twinkle: Mine was better…Dad was just singing Kunj saga…
Kunj: But in all this, I understood one thing…
Twinkle: What?
Kunj: Though everything is fake, I have developed a true friend…He holds me close to his heart..I was not here to do this…I just came here to save myself…Now I have a friend who is just a call away..trusts me completely…
Twinkle smiles.
Kunj: And uncle…After papa’s death…It left a void in my heart…I don’t know when Tej uncle filled that place…
Twinkle: Dad too feels the same..He is so happy to get you..
Kunj: Thanks yaar…
Twinkle looks at him…
Kunj: Your lie made me go through a lot…Tensions, anxieties about my life, my career… But in all this, I don’t know when…While trying to get out of this, I got a friend and a dad…It’s because of you..
Twinkle is just listening.
Kunj: Frankly…I don’t know..Whether I should thank you or scold you for getting me into this…
Jisha 😉
