Twinj: When I fell for you: Episode 21
A quick recap: Alisha’s act of trying to ruin Yuvi and Amaya’s reception exposed, Alisha banished from the Sareja empire and all its boundaries.
A bright and cheerful morning. Twinkle and Leela are shown making preparations to go somewhere. They both have an excited smile on their faces.
“Twinkle! Make it fast!”
“Yes ma… Just a moment..”
“Arrey make it fast. How long will you take?”
“Maa… I’m coming. What’s the point in hurrying?”
“How can you speak like this? Are you not excited?”
“Just a moment ma… Let’s go..”
They set with a bag in each hand.
City hospital.
Amaya is shown sitting with her back against the head board in one of the wards. She has a tiny baby in her arms. Both Tanejas and Sarnas are present around her, chattering excitedly.
They all watched Amaya happily as she was caressing her baby’s head lovingly, with a content smile on her face. Soon they all went out leaving Yuvi alone with Amaya and their little princess.
Yuvi lovingly caressed Amaya’s hair, and kissed her forehead and then the baby’s.
“Thank you so much for all this happiness Amaya! Our little princess! Everyone is so happy… Everything seems perfect..” he spoke, unable to contain his excitement.
“Everyone…” She sighed, before continuing, “It’s been two and a half years since we kicked Alisha out of our lives, Yuvi..”
(Confused? Surprise!
Guys, it’s a two and a half year time leap…)
“Amaya… You know how helpless we are… They don’t speak up at all… I am not even able to understand what went wrong…”
Outside the ward, everyone was celebrating, eating and feeding each other sweets. The little baby was the first grandchild in the family, and it called for a great celebration, they discussed excitedly.
After spending some more time with Amaya, they all came home, leaving Yuvi with her.
Twinkle was sitting in her balcony, staring aimlessly at the wall, deep in thought, when Rahul came and sat down next to her.
“Twinkle! It’s been two years since I’ve shifted my business to Amritsar and settled down here. And since then I have been noticing. What’s with your missing smile?”
“Nope. You are surely mistaken”
“Rahul! You are definitely mistaken because it isn’t for the past two years, but ever since Alisha left..” Chinki said, walking in with coffee for them.
Twinkle avoided eye contact with both of them, and excused herself under the pretext of a call.
“Rahul, so many things changed in our favour in these last few years… Alisha, the devil was taken care of, the company has been making excellent progress, everyone’s work is going well, bhai and bhabhi are happily married, you shifted here permanently with your business, Kunj’s concerts have been doing wonders…” Chinki said gladly, recalling all their happy moments.
“And even you have now become Mrs. Aman..” Rahul added, teasing her.
“Don’t you think the only other thing that we could wish for is..”
“I get it, and I cannot agree more with you, but aren’t we doing the ‘Let’s wait and destiny shall take care of everything’ thing?” He asked, air quoting the words, frustration evident in his words.
On the other hand, Twinkle collided into Kunj in the corridor, and as always, he caught her right in time.
“Hey! Watch where you are walking!”
“Twinkle! You were the one peering into this stupid phone of yours..”
“Yes, I was. But you weren’t, right? So couldn’t you watch where you were going?”
“What on Earth? Are you even serious?”
“Yes I am. It’s your fault and you better apologize” she replied sharply, looking away angrily, and getting off his arms.
Then, almost as a reflex, they both looked back at each other, and burst out laughing.
“Hey, I’m sorry” Kunj said.
“I’m sorry too” Twinkle replied, snickering.
“It’s alright…”
“Kunj! You saw the baby, didn’t you? She’s so adorable…”
“Just like you… So adorable…”
Twinkle smiled and then they walked towards her room together, chatting about random things.
Leela watched them walk away together, and asked RT to look at them too.
“They make such a lovely couple. Don’t you think we should get them married?”
“But Leela…”
“I’m sure they shall be happy with other. Should we not do something for them? Besides, it’s about time to get Twinkle married..” She asserted, making it a point to discuss the issue with Usha as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Usha too had spoken of this alliance to Manohar, and couldn’t wait to bring home Twinkle as her daughter in law.
Twinkle’s room.
“Hi everyone” Kunj greeted Chinki and Rahul, whom Aman had joined just a few minutes ago.
“Speak of the devil and the devil appears” Aman murmured, while Chinki and Rahul struggled to control their laughter.
“You guys are so cruel!” Kunj said, sitting on the couch.
“I agree” Twinkle said, slumping next to him, while he put his hand over her shoulder.
They planned a grand welcome for Amaya and her baby, and got down to working on it, since they would be coming home the next day.
Later that evening, Twinkle was showing Leela the stuff she had bought for the baby, when they heard a mild “Hello..”
They turned to see the most shocking sight ever.
“Alisha?” Chinki uttered in a shock.
The rest of them looked at her with anger erupting in them, as she walked over to Leela and sat down next to her.
“Aunty… It’s a happy occasion in your house… Can I please be forgiven? For the past two and a half years, I have been living a meaningless life. I lost everything, and I have realised what a disastrous person I have been… Please aunty…”
Leela just looked away in disgust.
“You are not getting another chance. Am I clear? Before we lose our patience, you better leave just like you came in. Else, you will be thrown out. Get lost!” Rahul spoke angrily.
“Please..?”
“Enough! Alisha, after whatever you have done, how can you expect us to forgive you? Please go away.. I can’t even stand your presence here anymore..” Rahul roared.
“Even my mom and dad have given up on me… Leela aunty, you also have a daughter na? Can you not understand my pain? Please forgive me… Please..”
Tears flooded Leela’s eyes. She knew the pain of being given up by parents too well. “I’m sorry Alisha… I may forgive you, but the rest of the family… They may not be able to see this the way you are putting it… Please go away..”
Alisha had a remorseful look on her face. She turned and left quietly. Leela closed her eyes and took a deep breath before sitting down with a thud. Twinkle and Kunj rushed to her, and calmed and pacified her.
Rahul, Chinki and Aman watched them from a distance.
“If Twinkle and Kunj had been married, I am sure Alisha wouldn’t have even thought of coming back…” Rahul said.
“But, what exactly happened? I mean, Kunj told me that Twinkle had told Alisha that she knew everything. If she did, then what went wrong?” Aman asked, looking at Chinki, knowing that only she could answer his questions.
“Chinki, please tell us whatever you know… It’s necessary to set think right..” Rahul asked, anticipating an honest reply.
Chinki had been looking down continuously. Tears had filled in her eyes. She recalled how they had never discussed Twinkle and Kunj’s relationship ever after Alisha was thrown out. It was a consequence of Twinkle and Kunj’s decision of going back to being just good friends.
She had only known Twinkle’s part of the story, and thought that it had been Kunj’s fault all along. Today, when Aman told her the other part of the story, it struck her. She felt pity for them.
“Chinki, jaan, please tell us… You know it’s important right?” Aman asked, cupping her face, and making her look at him. She cried, and hugged Aman, confusing him.
“I have been so stupid Aman! How could I not have thought that there could be something else behind all this? How?” She asked, sniffing.
Aman hugged her back assuringly. They had known each other for about 7 years, and had been married about a year ago, but he had never seen the love of his life so vulnerable. Not even when her best planned fashion pageant went wrong. Not even when she had an emotional breakdown after marriage, missing her home. He knew something was extremely messed up within her.
He took her to Twinkle’s room, and Rahul brought her a glass of water. She held on to Aman’s hand, slowly calming down.
“I think it’s high time now… You should know what actually happened with Twinkle… As for Kunj’s part, you guys should tell me what actually happened…” She said, and began speaking after being assured by them to tell her whatever they knew.
Thank you all once again for your support and encouragement.
Hope you all liked this episode.
I know the leap was abrupt, but I didn’t want to drag on things that would turn boring.
Do let me know if you liked it, and also tell me what you guys think happened, that Chinki is going to reveal.
Love you all loads ?
Take care…
Bye
