As promised , here I’m
Recap: Twinkle talks to both AM and Kunj separately and makes up her mind to get the lead from Kunj.
Part — 39
Twinkle rubbed her palms jolting down the points she needed to ask him in her mind.
The clock in her room read 7:00
“I better not freeze before him like an ice-candy! Worst if I stutter” Thought Twinkle remembering the evening encounter with the one who dominated her dreams.
Well not yet but she was sure he will, sooner or later.
“I’m strong” she reminded herself and walked towards the kitchen. She had seen him walking in this direction precisely 2 minutes ago and like she had expected he was there.
Umm…but What was he doing?
Ahh…that smells like coffee…
What can be better than a coffee for a conversation like this?
At least it will give me a reality check if I get spell bounded by his charms in the middle of my well calculated conversation ( a scripted interrogation)
Aunt Aleeza was on her kitty party and when she had asked Twinkle to join, the latter had shown no real interest ,basically she wanted to talk to Kunj and those parties never interested her except if one of those aunties daughters were her friends, which in this case wasn’t.
Noticing someone’s footsteps kunj turned his head to look at Twinkle making her way towards him.
Kunj smiled inwardly , “Cheers Armaan” he voiced in his mind.
Like Armaan had predicted she had come to him.
“Hmm…Armaan knows a great deal about girls. Or may be about this one long lost friend !” Thought Kunj bringing two coffee mugs from the lower shelf.
T: Hi
K: Hey, I thought you had gone out with poops!
Such a liar!
T: oh…those parties don’t amuse me.
Kunj took a step towards her ,
“Then what amuses you?” He almost whispered.
But little did he know she had come prepared this time.
“Umm…Mr Kunj Sarna aka my one of my boss, I like teen parties” she replied confidently.
Kunj appreciated her confidence and took a step back to check on the coffee
“And even coffee amuses me” Twinkle cooed from behind
Kunj smiled, his back still facing her. He poured the coffee in the mugs and handed her one of them, but Twinkle grabbed the other one from his hand, confusing Kunj
“I don’t like yellow cups. yellow is tacky” she commented sipping from the purple mug.
“Considering that you like purple , yellow goes well with it” he smirked.
“How much ever I try avoiding the subject that you guys know about me , but you yourself grab that subject to the top. Not fair huh” she replied annoyed.
He raised his left eyebrow , the ‘tacky’ yellow coffee mug covering his face expect his eyes.
In reply she narrowed her eyes , her lips pouting a little.
He smiled at her antics.
“What’s so funny?” She asked
“You” he replied promptly.
“Yellow is my favorite color, especially yellow framed spectacles , yellow shirts , and yay yellow hankies” he said
Twinkles face went from ‘surprised’ to ‘shock’ and than to ‘eww’ and ‘yuck’
“Isn’t it fascinating that you feel yellow is tacky but your shirt screams yellow and that day when you were making a greeting for Neeru , all I could see was yellow” he replied.
Twinkle eyes shut immediately with embarrassment , slowly opening her eyes she looked at her shirt, it was bright yellow,
“Huh yay how tacky right?” Her own mind mimicked her.
She had just lied to show how confident she was and to dominate the situation from the beginning. But it turned to be a utter disappointment.
“I should have picked something else to lie about” Twinkle thought.
She let out a breathe and looked up to see Kunj busy in his phone.
“But that joke on yellow hankies was awful!” She comment for which he smiled heartily.
“And you remember the color of the birthday greeting for Neeru that I had made?” Twinkle asked
“I had said you right? I remember everything about you” Kunj said looking directly into her eyes.
” But why this stunt of going all tacky about YELLOW?” He added
“Nothing… simply” she answered.
“A girl’s ‘nothing’ means ‘so damn much’ and ‘simply’ directly indicates its ‘hell complicated’!
God knows how u gals maintain two kinds of dictionary. Worst both with contradictory meanings!” Exhaled Kunj
“MCP wali talks” murmured Twinkle
K: I heard that
T: hmm
K: I mean girls are confusing but equally they are cute ,funny so its nullified
T: You seem to know more about girls
K: Yay… A little more than any of my friend knows.
” Ofcourse Armaan seems to know as much as me” thought Kunj
” Yay why not?
Charming gentleman always have a way with girls.
Agghh…stupid me! Gentleman are always charming.
And wait.. What I’m I even doing?
I’m deviating from my game plan, stupid jealousy feelings.
And why the heck I’m I even jealous.
No I’m not!
A bit may be…
Huh….Whatever” thought Twinkle
Kunj watched her closely , the changing expressions on her face – the reflection of her thoughts.
And then all he could see was black.
His Sweetheart’s face was replaced by pitch darkness…
“Damn these lights” kunj swore under his breathe
And the next moment he had her slender waist in his arms..
“I just slipped” she murmured inhaling his cologne.
“He smells so good” she mentally noted
“Probably there was some water on the floor, just stick to me” he said
And she was more than happy to obey him.
Kunj’s POV:
I could smell her fruity perfume and more than anything, her waist fit perfectly in my arms.
If lights were on , I bet she could find me blushing.
I felt her slipping through my arms and hence I tightened my grip on her waist , my fingers slightly brushing her bare waist.
I heard her breathing got quickened.
I tightened my grip on her once more and slightly lifted her body upwards, bringing her face close to mine.
Her breath hitched in anticipation and so did mine.
The dim light from no where made her face vaguely visible.
She had closed her eyes, our proximity had created hell lot of havoc in her otherwise strong senses but now her face depicted calmness. I felt serene to watch this peace on her face.
She looked enthrallingly beautiful devoid of any make up.
And that moment I realized something,
This girl is amazingly stupendously crazily prodigiously stunningly AWESOME and yay fascinatingly ‘My Mystery Queen’ like I had named her once.
Gosh, I love her so damn much!
I could feel my heart thumping hard at this realization. It felt like cool breeze after years of scorching heat.
At that one moment all I knew was , I wanted to be with this girl, forever and ever.
Even if she turned out to be clumsy I would adjust , if she gets fat I would still carry her, if she would snatch the TV remote during the a soccer final ,I would definitely fight with her but at the end I would love her no less.
I would dance with her on the craziest of songs with no complains and right now I did remember a part of song I heard in the morning,
***If the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you***
It felt like it as specially made for me.I smiled at my madness
I looked at her , she had her eyes open
I pulled her towards me, brushing my face against her hair
How I wish I could whisper numerous “I love U’s” and do that happy dance which we boys are good at.
Yay, the tribal dance!
“How you got to know about me?” She asked.
“And why me?” She added
Her honey coated voice bringing me back from the LA LA land I was sailing in,
“I didnt know it was you, I was just led to you.
And I’m happy it did ” I whispered back.
“I would be going back tomorrow from here” she stated
“I know you won’t. You are staying here to know how we found so many things about you and I’m staying here to see you doing that” Kunj replied
“So you want me to know about your little mystery journey?” She asked
“yeah” he replied
“Why do you want me to find out myself?
Couldn’t you guys just tell me straight away?” She asked
“I dont want to hurt you so I choose a way that would hurt you the least and thats only possible if you find it out yourself” he replied
“But I’m not hurt” she defended
“And I’m glad your not” he said
He remembered the day twinkle had come to Armaan’s house, that night on terrace he still hadnt forgotten her sad face , her charming smile missing.
Then and there he had decided to let Twinkle herself find it out.
” You have beautiful name Twinkle and remember one thing always you are a magnificent women” he said
She smiled in darkness. She didnt know why he said that but his words had touched her.
And damn these lights!!
As the lights came on I reluctantly let her go off my arms , I was already missing her warmth.
I know I’m acting crazy. But who doesn’t when they are in love?
The every next moment I heard Armaan yelling for me,
God!!! Can’t this boy just wait?. Very wrong timing
“I think Armaan is calling for you” she reminded me seeing no movement from my side.
“Yay…I will just go to him” I replied and walked towards Armaan’s room.
It’s better be some important stuff. He can’t be wasting my EUREKA moment for any trivial thing.
” Hey Kunj, did you see my socks? I’m not finding them” Asked Armaan looking up at me from his search operation under the bed as he saw me appear behind the door.
He must be kidding me!!! He spoiled my moment for socks? Those stinking socks?
“Socks should be searched near the shoe stand and not under the bed. Moreover I have no idea which duffer has thrown it where in hell on the earth” I shot back
“Exactly. That duffer has thrown it . You remember yesterday he was throwing those socks at me? They have got displaced” Armaan cooed.
God! Does he think this is funny?
“You guys are crazy? Who plays with socks?
Sanchay and you have gone out of your minds” I screeched and stormed out of his room.
End of POV
“What’s wrong with him?
He busted as if I interrupted his EUREKA moment.
And as much as I can remember a week ago he was a part of this socks game too.
And these socks aren’t that stinky!
These brothers are so difficult to understand at times” Thought Armaan and got busy in his search operation.
Once Twinkle got back to her room, she was sure of one thing.
Like her both boss had said, they didn’t search for her information on purpose.
They just got some information which on investigation had led to her.
But what was that piece of information?
She remembered each of the three had spoken about her handwriting so it must be that.
But where had they seen it?
She was sure she never wrote with left hand at office. Then how did they get to see it?
She didnt know all the answers but she as glad she had something to search for.
“Now thats what I call progress” she thought happy about her little achievement.
” No I’m not doing that” screeched Sanchay
“Have you both brothers high on something? Why do you guys screech so much?
And you have no choice, you are doing it” said Armaan with an air of finality.
“Aaru, I mean like ‘me being a watchman’ is so bad for my RPT” Sanchay said trying to convince the other.
“RPT?” Armaan asked confused
“My Reputation” sanchay clarified raising his collar and smiling proudly.
“Duffer, as long as i know its short form is ‘rep’ .From where did you invent this new form?” asked Armaan
“Its my own invention Aaru” said Sanchay feeling proud
“You can only feel proud once you successfully retrive the letter before it reaches Twinkle” Armaan replied.
It was Sunday night and tomorrow morning the so called ”love letter- dont know -from- whom -to- whom” would reach Twinkle and they needed to stop it.
Sanchays immaturity had cost them this when he had seen it in Kunj’s file to be given to Twinkle and had mistaken it to be the proposal from kunj to Her.
Hence Sanchay on not finding Twinkle to give the letter had posted it to her residential address.
“Kunj doesn’t know it yet and I dont want him to know it either or else he would make delicious pasta out of you . So I’m I clear about the plan?” Arman asked for one last time.
Having no choice Sanchay nodded.
So it was set.
Early in the morning Sanchay would leave for Twinkles house and wait for the postman and once the postman delivers it Sanchay would escape from their with it.
In simple words he would steal it before anyone from the house can tear it open.
“But is it possible to steal it? I mean twinkle would be their” Sanchay asked.
“I will make sure Twinkle doesn’t head back to her home tomorrow morning” Armaan replied.
“But after anyone from her house signs it only then you need to create some hungama outside there home and right on time steal it from them” Armaan warned
“You mean I need to disguise as monkey and snatch it away” Sanchay asked wondering how big of a monkey he would make!
” Not a bad idea” Armaan said making Sanchay’s eyes wide.
“But what about my R…” Sanchay was cut off
“RPT?” Armaan finished it for him
“Yaa” replied Sanchay
“Your fans follow you on twitter and facebook and yay insta too..but on roads” Armaan reminded him.
Sanchay nodded and thought about what all the following day would bring him.
He knew, being the morning watchman and going ahead to steal a letter wouldn’t be easy!
“But its far better than being made into a pasta by bhaiya ” thought Sanchay.
*************
Ahh…that was long, wasn’t it?
I hope you liked Kunj’s crazy side, the side-effect of love.
And Twinkles embarrassment!
And how’s Sanchay going to steal the letter?
Excited?
