As it was morning, a single ray of sunlight shone in their room but still it didn’t affect them. They were peaceful in each other’s arms. Twinkle felt another hand on her head which caressed her hair. She creased her eyebrows and touched the hand yanking it away and opened her eyes. She got shocked seeing it was Yuvi. He had a knife in his hand. She got off the bed immediately moving Kunj’s arm away screaming badly. He too woke up hearing her scream and held her hand making her sit again and hugged her from behind to calm her.
Slowly her screams subsided into sobs and shivers. She placed her palms on his arms which were wrapped around her hugging her from behind and looked back at him. He was looking at her questioningly. “Kunj woh yaheen kaheen hai, (Kunj he’s somewhere here only) he’s here, he’s trying to harm me,” she said cryingly. He kissed her cheek and made her lay again and patted her hair to calm her. “Relax relax, he won’t do any harm to you, don’t worry,” he said and kissed her forehead but she still kept shivering and whimpering. He caressed her hair. “Relax relax, it’s nothing baby.”
He said to calm her again. She turned suddenly and hid her face in his chest. He patted her hair as she dug her nails in his skin. After sometime he felt her breathes were even and she was sleeping. He caressed her hair seeing her peaceful and got teary eyed.
Twinkle ko yeh tum kaisa darr de gaye ho Yuvraj? (What type of fear have you given to Twinkle, Yuvraj? Tum marr chukay ho lekin phir bhi tumhare darr ne uska peechha nahi chhora hai. (You’ve died but your fear still hasn’t left following her) Jaanta hoon tum humaray aas paas ho. (I know you’re somewhere around here only) Kunj thought to himself. Nahi, ye Twinkle ka vehem hai, (no, this is Twinkle’s hallucination) Yuvraj wapis nahi asakta, (Yuvraj can’t come back) vo marr chuka hai. (He’s dead)
Kunj consoled himself and laid beside Twinkle. He had a bad feeling in his heart.

Later, when the post mortem had been done, police had called Kunj, Twinkle, Anita and Surjeet in police station to interrogate everyone separately. Kunj and Surjeet went with male constables and Twinkle and Anita went with female constables.
*************SPLIT**************
Twinkle was sitting with tears in her eyes with a lump in her throat. “Since when did you know Yuvraj?” Asked the female constable. “Since two years,” she asked. “Were you friends with him? Did you have an affair?” Asked the constable. Twinkle shook her head.
“No no, I never befriended him, I didn’t had any affair, he was Kunj’s boss,” she answered. “So then what had happened that all this happened? Where was Kunj when Yuvraj tried molesting you?” Asked the constable. “Will you believe me if I say it? It’s something paranormal,” Twinkle asked. “You just tell, believing or not believing depends on my thinking,” said the constable. Twinkle told her everything, from the time traveling experiment till the first time attempted molestation, from the black magic till the fracture, from the shifting till the ghost, from becoming human till the murder. “Fine, then letting you go for now is the only option, we will interrogate the staff members of his office then,” said the constable and Twinkle thanked her.
*************SPLIT**************
In the interrogation room, Kunj sat trying to be as confident as possible. He was asked the same questions and he too answered the same as Twinkle. He was also left free.
*************SPLIT**************
In the interrogation room, Anita was trying her best to stop her tears but couldn’t. The first question and answer were the same like TwiNj’s. “Do you have any idea that why did your son try to molest Twinkle?” Asked the constable.
“Marital rape is wrong but they both were husband and wife and whatever happens between spouses is totally personal,” she said. “But she says she’s married to Kunj?” Asked the constable. “I don’t know about that, but she was married to Yuvraj, I know that,” she answered. “Do you have any proof?” Asked the constable. “No, I don’t have any proof for now,” she answered. “Did you ever witness something wrong with your daughter in law?” Asked the constable. “Yes, when I once went to meet her, I saw that she always kept talking to something invisible and even I felt like some paranormal activity near me, it pushed me down the stairs,” Anita said and sighed.
“She even got possessed and tried harming us, we left after that,” she continued. “Fine, you’re free to go,” said the constable, she thanked her and left. Surjeet was also asked the same things and he too answered the same. Then the two of them had a face off with TwiNj. After discussing a little, it was decided that TwiNj’s statements varied from AnJeet’s statements. They were seated for combined interrogation. “Why do you people say that Yuvraj and Twinkle were married when they are saying that they were married?” Asked the inspector to Anita and Surjeet.
“Because that’s what we were told, we never attended Yuvraj and Twinkle’s wedding, but Yuvraj and Twinkle came to us one day and told us that they had married and we became happy and blessed them,” Surjeet told them. “But all that was a lie,” Twinkle said sternly. “Don’t speak in between, you will get a chance to speak,” said the inspector. She rolled her eyes angrily. Kunj calmed her. “So why didn’t you never objected that he never called you on his wedding?” Asked the inspector.
“We did object, but he was too adamant,” Surjeet said. “And so we accepted this girl as our daughter in law,” Anita said. “Okay, now you both will be given chance to speak, finally. So tell Mrs.Sarna, why did you live with Yuvraj for two years when you were married with Kunj?” Inspector asked Twinkle. “I had amnesia, Yuvraj made me believe all that crap but I discovered the truth once I went to Goa to make my career and at the same day, he punished me and locked me up in the store room where I met Kunj,” she said.
“Okay, when we analyzed the CCTV footage, whatever you told us was the truth, so we accept that you’re not lying, Yuvraj even accepted his crime, and so nothing is so special in his post mortem too, so case is closed, you can collect his body and perform his last rites,” said the inspector and they exited the police station and went to collect Yuvi’s body. His last rites were performed. “Remember one thing Twinkle, whatever Yuvi did wasn’t good, but as he is killed on the full moon night, there’s chances that he will return on the another full moon night to haunt you, but don’t ever be scared, he would be very weak,” Anita said. “First you’re scaring and then saying don’t be scared?” Kunj asked. “We’re just telling you, rest is your wish, accept or decline, whatever you want,” Surjeet said and they all went and immersed the ashes in the lake. Then they all went from there.

Soon Twinkle’s birthday came but there wasn’t any news of pregnancy yet. Now they had shifted back to Mumbai. After guests had arrived, Twinkle cut the birthday cake and fed to Kunj, then he fed it to her. Then she fed it to her parents and siblings. After sometime, during the birthday party, Twinkle was busy in talking with people when she heard a familiar voice sing.
Tunna tunna tunna tunna tunna tunna
Hey tuna tunna
Tunna tunna tunna tunna tunna tunna
Hey tuna tunna
Tunna tunna tunna tunna tunna tunna
Hey tuna tunna
(Twinkle smiled looking at him as he sung drunkily but happily)
Kaat diye naam sab
Kaat diye naam sab dil ki is kitab se
Kaat diye naam sab dil ki is kitab se
Hum ne kar li dosto dosti sharab se
Dosti sharab se
Tuna tuna hey tuna tuna,
Tuna tuna hey tuna tuna
Kaat diye naam sab dil ki is kitab se
Hum ne kar li dosto dosti sharab se
Dosti sharab se
(Twinkle made a naughty face as he said that now every name is cancelled out from the book of his heart and now his only friend is wine, he winked at her)
Ek jham khatam to dusra bana liya
Ek jham khatam to dusra bana liya
Dusra bhi kam pada to tisra bana liya
Pine lage aaj kal hum isi hisab se
Pine lage aaj kal hum isi hisab se
Hum ne kar li dosto dosti sharab se
Dosti sharab se
Tunna tunna hey tunna tunna
Tuna tunna hey tuna tunna,
Tunna tunna hey tuna tunna
Tunna tunna hey tuna tunna,
Tunna tunna hey tuna tunna
(He came to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders and made her have some wine while singing and she smiled)
Sabse kya ke khud se bhi
Door hogaye thay hum
Sabse kya ke khud se bhi
Door hogaye thay hum
Agayi thi neend thori derr sogaye thay hum
Kis liye jaga diya?
Haan kis liye jaga diya
Is haseen khwab se
Kis liye jaga diya
Is haseen khwab se
Humne Karli dosto
Dosti sharab se
Dosti sharab se
Tuna tuna hey tuna tuna
(Now he talked about the time when his soul was temporarily removed from his body and he got away from himself)
Gham bhi to hai ek nasha
Hum nashe mein chur hai
Gham bhi to hai ek nasha
Hum nashe mein chur hai
Na kisi ke pas hai na kisi se dur hai
Ab mile aap to kya kahe janab se
Ab mile aap to kya kahe janab se
Hum ne kar li dosto dosti sharab se
Dosti sharab se
Kaat diye naam sab
Kaat diye naam sab dil ki is kitab se
Hum ne kar li dosto dosti sharab se
Dosti sharab se
Tunna tunna hey tunna tunna
Tunna tunna hey tunna tunna
Tunna tunna hey tunna tunna
Tunna tunna hey tunna tunna
Tunna tunna hey tunna tunna
Tunna tunna hey tunna tunna.
(He talked about how he was lonely before meeting Twinkle but when now she was there for her, he felt just like heaven)
Party ended and the guests left from their house. Kunj and Twinkle went to their room and he went to freshen up. As he came back, he saw her feeling dizzy and then she fell unconscious on the bed. “Haww, Twinkle?” He said coming to her and shook her by her shoulders. As she didn’t respond, he bent and slid his arm around her back and one arm around her legs and lifted her from the bed and took her out of the room carefully.
He went out of the house with her in his arms and made her lay on the backseat of the car and then drove off to the hospital. He took her out when he reached and then took her inside the hospital and called for doctors for help. They laid her on the stretcher and took her away. Kunj waited outside the emergency ward. Then after sometime the doctor came. “Congratulations, your wife is pregnant,” he said and Kunj smiled.
*************SPLIT**************
Kunj took Twinkle to their room after telling everyone the good news. “Finally I gave you the special gift,” he said. “That is why you’re the best husband ever, but I don’t want God to give such a husband to everyone,” she said as she sat on the bed. “Oh, but why?” He asked. “That ways, every husband would be like you, same to same, and I want this unique husband to be with me only,” she said and he laughed. “Oh hahaha, you’re such a cutie pie, by the way what do you want? A boy who would be my miniature? Or a girl who would be your miniature?” He asked nuzzling in her neck. She smiled.
“Whoever comes, I will happily accept,” she said and he smiled. “If a girl comes then we will name her Kavita,” he said. “And if a boy comes, we will name him Twinj,” she said and he wrapped his arms around her and she smiled. “Ye lakeerein, ye naseeb, ye kismat, Sab fareb ke aayine hain, Haathon mein tera haath hone se hi mukkamal zindagi ke maayne hain,” he said romantically. “Kuchh to rehem Kar mere dil par, Dil mera 1 GB ka or yaadein teri 32 GB ki,” she said and they had a laugh and shared a hug.

Five months later:
Twinkle was now five months pregnant and always got strange feelings and was never in a good mood. Only Kunj could make her feel good. Though every family member of Twinkle had recognized Kunj, everyone even tried to console her that nothing would happen, but in vain. One day, when Twinkle was coming out of her room, she stopped all of a sudden outside the store room.
Twinkle’s POV:
I just heard my daughter say “mumma” but the thing is that I m still pregnant. It is so disturbing and shocking as well. What’s going on?
