“Kunj!!! Where are you!?….Kun”
Chanda’s voice brought him back to the present.He rubbed his eyes with his hand.
“Twinkle ! Aap bhi yahan Hai!…”,she said.
“Nothing Chanda ! Just official talks!”, Kunj said holding her hand.
“Yes….Mrs.Sarna….I was just talking about the deal to Mr.Sarna”, Twinkle replied.
“Twinkle….Call me Chanda na!”,she said.
“Okay Chanda!”
Twinkle- So…I may take my leave!
Chanda-Aree! Itni jaldi!…at least have the dinner.
Kunj-Yes…..Ms.Taneja have some food.
Twinkle- ….No…thanks ! I have to go for another function at Wipro.
Kunj-Oh….Ms.Taneja has something more important. I guess she’s always one of those handling two things at a time for profit. Isn’t it!?
He said with venom in his voice.
Twinkle was hurt by his remark.She very well understood his words.
Tears pooled in her eyes.
Chanda glared at him and poked her elbow into his chest.
“I was just kidding!”,he said.
“See you guys soon!”, Twinkle said walking to her car.
“Bye”,Chanda chriped.
*****************************************
This was the worst day. Why my heart gets to bear all this stuff. He thought while sitting defeated on the brown couch.
Chanda entered the room after slipping into her night dress.
She sat next to him studying his face via his body language.
She placed her palm on his thigh and he snapped up.
“What happened?”,she asked.
“Nothing.”
“What’s bothering you then!?”
“Nothing.”
“Stop lying.”
“I am not!”
“I can see it on your face”
“……Sh… she’s back….”
“Who’s back!?”
“….My…… past”
“…. What?…What happened?”
“…..You met her……She’s the one….”
“I met whom?….Kunj….stop playing games and tell me…. what’s bothering you?”
“My….past is haunting me…Chanda……She’s back…..”
He spoke with tear filled eyes.
“Kunj……”
“Twinkle….. Twinkle….. has come….back…..”
“Twinkle….?…. Twinkle Taneja?…What are you talking about?”
“She’s one and the same woman Chanda…..”
Chanda palmed his face with her hands to calm him down.
“Kunj…..Look at me….”
He was looking down.
“Look at me….”
Kunj hesitantly looked up and tears fell down on his porcelain cheek.
“See….Kunj…..Best way to cope up with past is to forget it….Hmmm?…..I know it’s not so easy for you…..But try it for yourself…..”,she spoke.
“I can’t……I can’t forget her……Kabse kosish Kar raha hoon…..Everytime I see her I get through the same trauma…..I hate her……Meri wajah se hamara rishta bhi suffer Kar raha Hai…..”,he spoke controlling his tears.
“I wish I could die….End of everything…..End of pain…..”,he said.
“Kunj!!!”,Chanda said.
“You are not the one who can be defeated easily….Kunj! It’s a part of life to have pains. Life shows us many colours. That’s what makes life beautiful. Aur musibato se bhaagna is not the solution!
Kunj…..I know what she did was not right. I know you hate her but try to forgive and forget, beacause hate breaks the vessel in which it is stored. Maaf kardo usse…..Maaf kardo kyunki usne tumhe pyaar karna sikhaya Hai, maaf kardo usse kyunki usne tumhe shikhaya Hai ki kis par vishwas karna chaiye aur kiss ke saamne Dil kholna chaiye……Hmmm.?”,she said with water in her eyes.
She rubbed his back to assure him that she was with her.
She held his hand to assure that she will not leave him alone in this situation.
“I am with you……always ….”,she said and smiled.
Kunj felt right after listening to her. He hugged her tightly.
She was surprised at first but then calmed him down by winding her arms around him.
“I don’t know what future holds for me….I just don’t know! Nahi…pata….nahin pata Kha hoga?”…..
“But….thankyou Chanda for being there for me..”
“Sssh…Kunj…..Stop crying …… otherwise you’ll like a ? monkey…..A tall monkey…..no? A tall and handsome yet cute bandar”,she said laughing.
Kunj snapped up and smiled a little.
“Thank you Chanda…..”,He said and put his other hand on thier entwined hands.
Kunj might not be seeing Chanda as his love but he was sure that she was his healer for the eternity.
Chanda was concious of his past life.
He had already told her everything before they got married. Chanda was sad at first but then decided that she will not bother about his past. Today Kunj did not tell anything to her word by word , but by seeing his emotions she figured out that it was Twinkle.
*****************************************
The birds chirped and cold wind blew.
It was morning time.
Kunj was fast alseep. He was sleeping so peacefully that Chanda didn’t want to disturb his sleep.
She combed her hair and adorned her hairline with a pinch of Vermillion. She looked herself in the mirror and smiled a bit seeing Kunj through the mirror, turning and toppling.
She went near him and observed him.
She softly ran her hand through his soft brown locks. She couldn’t control herself seeing him and placed a chaste peck on his forehead. She wiped his forehead considering it as a mistake. But what could her heart do. Her cerebellum was not in her control. Caressing him was her conditioned reflex.As for Chanda,her whole world was upside down, she didn’t show it but felt it.She had started to love him but he had locked himself in a dark room.
She got up and went downstairs to prepare his breakfast.
*****************************************
#FLASHBACK#
After that incident Manohar was extremely sad and angry with his son.
Kunj was trying hard to persuade him.
Getting no solution , he disclosed it to Bebe who was no less upset.
But for her child’s sake, she decided to talk to Manohar.
“Papa,…..Papa!”,called out Kunj.
“What?”, replied Manohar angrily while sipping hi tea.
Kunj- Papa! Woh…..I have to leave for the factory. So, may I go with Rajat?
Manohar- Mujhse Kyu pooch rahe ho? Do what you feel like! You’re a grown up man…..Bahut bade ho Gaye ho! Jao….Jo karna Hai woh karo!!.
Kunj bowed his head down.
“Pa…..”
“Kaha na jao! Don’t disturb!”,said Manohar standing up and turning away.
Kunj felt bad beacause his father was angry with him. His father was upset.
Kunj was sad because unknowingly he had hurt his father.
“Papa….Please talk to me!”,he said going near him.
“Baat toh karo mujhse!…..”,he said hugging him from behind.
“Maa…..ke baad aap hi toh……”,he said.
“Papa….baat mat karo lekin dekh toh lol Meri taraf….I am sorry….Papa…”
Manohar felt sad.
“Papa…..Ma ke baad aapne ki mujhe sambhala…..Maa….ki…tarah pyaar kiya…..Aadat Hai mujhe aapki….Aise mat karo…. Daant lo, maaro lekin baat karo!….”,he said.
“Papa….nahi…karonga Twinkle se pyaar….I’ll leave her…..chod dunga usse….Papa…..”,he said and truned away wiping his eyes.
Manohar could not see his son in such a state.Kunj had suffered a lot in his entire life. His mother left him when he was just fifteen. He had to suffer a lot while growing up.Their life was not easy. Manohar and his two sons had worked hard to achieve what they had now, beacause when problems come they attack you from everywhere.
Manohar wanted to see his son happy and now when he had found his happiness in Twinkle, he couldn’t break his heart and snatch his happiness.
“Kunj…..!….Ruko….”,he said.
He stood still and turned around.
“Babut bade ho Gaye ho? Kids these days?!!! can’t tolerate anything!…. Can’t you wait!? You won’t do anything. Get it?”,he said.
He went to Kunj and twisted his ear.
“Aahh……Papa!”
Manohar hugged his son tightly.
“It’s ok beta!…..”
“Papa….”
“Hmmm….Haan….Twinkle hi banegi hamare bete ki bahu….”
Kunj hugged his father back. Cracks had been filled up with love!
*****************************************
Next day….Sarna’s reached Twinkle’s house and fixed thier marriage. Bebe half heartedly agreed.
Twinkle and Anita were too shocked to react. But then thought that God was with them. They were very close to thier goal.
*****************************************
Few days later….
Twinkle was in Kunj’s room.
She was there to give him the pen-drive in which was the secret data of the company.
“Leave me!”,Kunj said to Twinkle who had wrapped her arms around him.
“Haha….Twinkle! Don’t disturb!….”,he said laughing.
He was ticklish and she knew that.
Twinkle-Nope!
Kunj got hold of her and pulled her to his side.
Kunj- Caught you!
He proceeded towards her while Twinkle nodded her head in a no.
He nodded in a yes.
“No..”
“Yes…”
“No….Kunj”
“Why not?”
He closed her mouth with his pout.
He snuggled into her.
After a sweet moment he moved away.
Kunj-So?
He tucked her hair behind her ears to get her veiw.
Twinkle-So!?
“What’s that!?”,he said poking into her neck.
“What?”,she said.
Kunj- Aree baba this red mark?
Twinkle got concious.She knew who had given that to her.
Twinkle-Woh…woh…Don’t act haan!You gave it to me!…
Kunj-Really? I don’t remember.
Well…..Let’s give you one more then!
He said and nipped her neck gently.
Twinkle got relieved and moved her hands in his head.
Thank God her drama was not out. She thanked herself and smirked.
After a few days….thier roka was done. Now,she was his fiance. But she was not emotionally.
Next day….
It was their Mangni.
Sarnas along with Anita were witnessing the Mangni.
Manohar was ecstatic.
To bless the couple , he gave a paper to both of them to sign according to which there was a share in property between Kunj and Twinkle. A major part of property now belonged to Kunj and Twinkle.
She was happy beyond limit. Anita smirked seeing her plan work.
But somewhere Twinkle didn’t feel good betraying him. But she chose to ignore it.
After a few days….
Bebe was on her way to give sweets to Anita.
In the house, Twinkle was alone.Off course not her Yuvraaj was also present.
[No….Joote?no curses….?]
“Oh…Uv”,she said as Yuvraaj kissed her cheek.
She was pressed to wall by Yuvraaj. She hugged him back.
The main door was open and Bebe was approaching upstairs.
Uv-Bas…..ab ek sign aur tu Kunj se peecha chudha Lena. Bewakoofon ka Ghar Hai Sarnas.
Twinkle- hmm…..but I feel bad for him. He loves me but I am betraying him. But…..But….Whatever.
Bas ek sign aur Kunj ki saari property hamari. Pyyar ka natak khatam aur Phir hamare happily ever after ke sapne pure.
The entire conversation was overheard by bebe. She was completely shook.
She was right. Definitely right.
Twinkle was a backstabber.
“Twinkle!”,she said.
Twinkle pushed Uv back.
“Bebe!?”,she said shocked.
Bebe-Knew it…I knew it…You are a gold-digger!……Kaise ladki Hai tu Haan?
“How dare you to play with my son’s emotions?”,she asked holding her shoulders tightly.
Uv-Look…aunty…
Bebe-Shut up! Chup hoja mue! Chup ho ja…..Do Kodi ka insaan!
Aur tu! …Himmat kaise hui Teri!?….Tune itna bada natak Kiya? Man Kar raha hai Teri jaan le lu!…. Besharam.
Bebe shouted. Her face was red,she was angry to see her betray Kunj.
Twinkle-Woh…woh….
“Shut up!…..Chup hoja…..!!”,she said and turned to go.
“Bebe…Bebe….suneye….Please….ek……..baar suneye toh!”, Twinkle said running behind her on the stairs.
“No…I am going….Nahi hogi yeh Shaadi!….”,she said removing Twinkle’s hand from her arm.
“Bebe….Suneya na!”, Twinkle said.
“Chod menu!….chod…dafa ho yahan se…”
Twinkle pulled her towards herself tightly.
“Aaah……”,shouted bebe as she fell off the stairs.
“Bebe!”,shouted Twinkle.
Little blood oozed out of her head.
“Aaaah……”,she said holding her leg and arm. It pained a lot.
Twinkle was terrified.
Bebe became unconscious beacause of her hypertension and little pain.
Twinkle told Yuvraaj to go away and called up Kunj.
Kunj was shocked to hear that bebe had hurt herself. Soon, he took her to his house. Soon, the family took her to the hospital to get her checked.
Bebe had got fracture in her leg and wrist.
At the house….
Bebe was lying on the bed when Kunj entered.
“Bebe!”,he said sitting beside her.
Kunj- app..theek ho na?
Bebe-Haan ! Mere None! Theek hoon.
Kunj-Kya karte ho Bebe? Accha hua Twinkle ne phone Kar Diya mujhe.
Bebe was disgusted to hear her name.
“Kunj….Mujhe kuch batana hain….Mera Vishwaas karnaa…”
Kunj- Bebe…Kya batana Hai?
Bebe told each and every thing to him.
Kunj was expressionless. It was difficult for him to even register her words.
Kunj-nahi …bebe …..aap ko galatfemi hui Hain ….Nahin ……She can’t do this! I have to talk to her…..I will talk to her….. This can’t be true….
He spoke choking on his words.
**************************************************
⚠HIGH VOLTAGE FILMY DRAMA AHEAD⚠
“Twinkle….Twinkle….”,he shouted entering the house
Door was opened.
Some voices could be heard. [No joote?No cursing]
“Yuvraaj go…..this is not the time!”,she said pushing him out.
She was worried that moment while Yuvraaj didn’t care and was busy lusting over her body.
He held her tightly and kissed her hard.
“Get off…me….Uv…..get off me…hato!”,she said.
Kunj who was standing there was shocked.
“Twinkle!?”,he said with no expression.
“Kunj?”,she said pushing Yuvraaj away.
She was shocked.
“What’s all this?”,Kunj said with tears.
Kunj-Who’s this blo*dy man!?
Kunj went near Yuvraaj and slapped him hard.
“How dare you touch my Twinkle!?? Haan…..How dare you!? How dare you to harass her!??”,Kunj said beating Yuvraaj.
Twinkle-Kunj! !! Leave him…. Chodo usse!
Chodo Yuvraaj ko…..Leave him.
Kunj left him and went to her.
Kunj- I know Twinkle! He was harassing you.Haan….. don’t worry…. You’re safe…
Twinkle- Kunj!!!!…….
Yuvraaj-How dare you hit me? she’s my girlfriend!.
Kunj – Twinkle , what is he saying?
She stood expressionless seeing him.
“What she will tell you , I will tell you rather show the proofs”, Yuvraaj said opening his gallery folder.
“Yuvraaj!…..You can……not…..do….this….”, Twinkle said sobbing.
“Off course I can… See it for for yourself….”,he said handling him the phone.
His mind was not able to believe those pictures. There were photographs of Yuvraaj and Twinkle, in which they were very close.
“I don’t believe this?!……It’s fake! Twinkle can’t do this!”,he exclaimed.
“He’s lying naa Twinkle?…..Tell me the truth…..I know you can clarify….Bebe…has told me something….. Tell me if it’s true…”,he said placing his hands on the either side of her face.
“Why are you quiet?”
“Yes….yes….He is my boyfriend!…..Yes…..I betrayed you…..”,she shouted and pushed him back.
Kunj’s whole world was upside down.
He was shocked beyond the limit.
The one whom he trusted was a betrayer.
Staying there was not an option so he immediately left that place.
“Kunj!.…..Kunj!”,she shouted and fell on her knees.
*****************************************
Later that day….Kunj was sitting hopeless in his room. He was not crying. He was sad ,upset and angry.
“Let me meet him!….please….please…let me talk to him….” He heard her voice from downstairs.
He got up and immediately went downstairs.
Twinkle who was standing there pleading to Manohar saw him and smiled.
“I knew you would come….”,she said and hugged him.
“I am sorry!”,she spoke.
Kunj pushed her back.
“Ho gaya?…..”,he spoke.
She was speechless.
“Kun..”
“Don’t try to take my name from your filthy mouth.”
“Go live happily with your soulmate….”
“He left me….”,she said crying.
Kunj- So Sorry!
Twinkle- Why are you doing this? Kunj!
Kunj clenched his jaw and held her by her jaws.
“I am just doing what I should have done before!”,he said with tears in his eyes.
“I trusted you….But you were not worth it!…….Pyaar nahi Tha toh twinkle Mana Kar deti…..Why did you act?……Why did you pretend? didn’t you know that I loved you?……Shaadi hone wali thi hamari…..You were fake…..Tumhara pata nahi…..Meri taraf se toh fake nahi Tha!…..You have hurt me……And my family…….”
He left her.
“Kunj please listen to me!……I love you….I really do…..I was stupid…..for that Uv and my mother I betrayed you….”,she said crying.
Kunj couldn’t take so he slapped her hard.
“Don’t ever say that!!….Go away from here and leave my life….!…..Dobara mat Aana…. Dobaara apni shakal mat dikhana…Twinkle…..Jaan le longa…..”,he said holding her face.
He left her and went in his room.
Manohar was sadly shocked seeing Kunj’s behavior.
Kunj went inside his room and sat on the sofa crying.
” How could I slap her…..I shouldn’t have talked to her this way…..But….she deserves it……I hate her……I was a fool…..She never loved me…”,he said feeling dejected.
Feelings of a broken heart can’t be elaborated.
#FLASHBACK FINISHES#
*****************************************
Kunj ate his breakfast which Chanda had made and went to the office.
There were the members of Mannat present.
Kunj for a change was happy from within.
Chanda’s words had left an impact on his soul.
He saw Twinkle again in the conference room. He entered the room and a lot of memories freshened up.
She was waiting for the employees to come but to her surprise the first one to enter was Kunj. He had came there to greet her because she was a bussiness employee and making someone wait was not a good manner.
“Morning….Ms.Twinkle…”
“Good morning, Kunj….. I mean Mr.Sarna”,she said smiling.
He sat down and started doing some work in his laptop.
Twinkle could not control her emerging feelings and sat beside him.
She placed her hand on his hand.
He got surprised.
“Kunj…..”,she said softly.
He got up at once and turned away.
“What happened Ms.?”
She hugged him from behind and cried.
“Sorry!…..”
Kunj felt her body pressing into him and felt a spark along with sadness through his body. He didn’t react and truned around.
“I have forgiven and forgetten you long back. It wasn’t your fault. Rather I am thankful to you because you taught me how to love, you taught me that everyone can’t be yours and also that to whom I should open my heart.”,he said.
“Kunj…. if you have forgiven me…..then….come….back to me…..I am alone without you….”,she said crying and hugged him.
“I miss you alot…..I know you love me…..please……Wapis aajao mere paas….”
Kunj’s expressions changed that very moment. He was in a dilemma. Yes,he loved her but what if he did? Their relationship was based on a loose foundation. He had moved on. He couldn’t love a person who had been so fake to him.
“Twinkle……I don’t love you….”,he said coldly.
“Jhoot…look into my eyes and say…..”,she said.
He couldn’t meet eyes with her.
But he tried and looked deep into her eyes.
“I don’t love you….I am married to Chanda.”
“Please Kunj…come back to me….I know you can’t live….”
” I have learnt to live….Look…Twinkle…..”
“Kunj don’t lie…..”
“Okay…..Fine I loved you but you’re my past now.”
“Kunj , Kya hamara rishta phele jaisa nahi ho sakta?…..Choose me…..Kunj…..You will have to choose between your wife and me….”,she pleaded.
What was she saying ,choose between Chanda and her? Was this a game? Was he in dilemma? Who would he Choose?
His past or future?
