CHAPTER 30 – Nightmares and outbursts
Twinkle (POV)
HAPPY READING
“Don’t…please don’t..twinkle don’t g-go” my eyes snapped towards the bed just as I opened the door to the washroom and watched Kunj who was patting my side of the bed.
I looked on terrified as he stirred in his sleep and frowned fisting the bed sheet. I hurriedly ran over to his side and held his hand as he breathed heavily. “Kunj…” I whispered softly placing his head in my lap and he groaned slightly , his grip on my hand getting stronger.
“Don’t go..twinkle… I’m so-sorry..twi..” I shook him slightly my heart clenching at his sudden state , “Kunj…I’m right here..open your eyes…” I mumbled stroking his hair and he breathed even harder.
“Kunj…wake up…it’s just a bad dream..” my voice came out a bit loud and his eyes shot open as he backed off. Closing his eyes and taking deep breaths , he leaned back on the bed.
I just watched him not wanting to say anything and let him calm himself. Felt like hours before he spoke up , “Come here” his voice was barely audible and I didn’t waited any longer before going closer to him.
His arm went around my waist and I placed my hand on his chest hugging him. He sighed rubbing his hand over my arm. I quickly moved to my side and grabbed water and rushed over to his side , “Here..”
He drank it and let out a shaky breath as I kissed him forehead. “Feeling better?” he stared back at me shaking his head in a no and I nodded , “Come with me”
I interlinked our fingers as I opened the door to the balcony and breathed in the fresh air. “You’ll feel better. Trust me” I whispered as Kunj pulls me closer and I immediately hugged him back.
We stood there for God knows how long and I kept drawing random patterns on his chest and looked up to see Kunj smiling slightly at the front. I looked on and on until his eyes snapped towards mine and I looked away instantly.
“I love you” he muttered placing a soft kiss down my neck and I looked up at him smiling. “And I can’t help but fall more for you , every passing second” he whispered as I hugged him more tightly , only if it’s possible.
“I thought words were considered to be more affectionate but trust me you proved it wrong. You just calmed me down without even trying , without any words. You gave me space to calm myself , gave me strength and you know what…
You are my strength…”
“And twinkle…stop crying..” I chuckled and looked up at him and he grinned at me. “My shirt is drenched in your tears” he gasped dramatically and I gave him a playful smack.
“I know , babe. Right now , your mind is filled with thoughts of my dream” he stopped in between and took a deep breath , “The moment you left my life fell apart. One word-Chaos.
I was a mess myself. Drinking every night and I would cry every time. Everything in the house reminded me of you and I tried hard to compose myself but I couldn’t because I had lost you. And trust me on this one , losing someone hurts more than anything else…”
I gulped nervously knowing exactly about whom he was talking -Rohan. He kissed my cheek smiling , “But then there was hope. Of course you hated me , I knew it. But a part of me had hope , hope that maybe you would be able to love me again or maybe trust me one more time..”
I could feel the pain behind his voice , no matter how strong he was for the world but deep down I know how broken he is. “And then it started …those dreams …I got a bit better the past few weeks but before I would be yelling or sometimes hurting myself but it didn’t matter.
That pain was less then the one I had given you..” he blew out a bitter laugh and I gripped his arm tightly turning him around. “Promise me. We won’t talk about what happened two years back. Promise me?…”
I whispered closing the distance between us and wrapped my arms around his neck. “I promise..”
His phone rang in his pocket and he groaned lightly tightening his arms around me and I laughed. It kept of ringing and I pulled back chuckling as I looked at Kunj’s annoyed expression.
“hello” he spoke annoyed as hell and I purposely ran my hand over his chest slowly. He gave me a look and I raised my eyebrow smirking.
“What is it , Mahi?” he questions turning around , with his back facing me. I tip toed towards his front and kissed him silently on his jaw. He sighed and then again gave me a long glare to which I smiled sheepishly.
“Are you serious? It’s like 2 am” he whined and I stood on my tip toes kissing his neck and my lips stayed there for a while before I pulled back. I looked amused as he stood there with his lips parted slightly and eyes widened.
He quickly recovered before a smirk appeared on his face. He turned around taking two steps ahead and I took one black. “Mhmm..we would be there in 15 minutes. Me and twinkle have stuff to take care of..”
He cancelled the call looking smugly at me and I ran back to the room. I stood near the bed but Kunj was still on his spot. “I thought you were supposed to catch me you know…” the words came out so quick and I smacked my forehead.
“Nah…I have this magnetic charm which pulls even the most heavy , gigantic things towards itself” he shrugged causally and sat on the chair in the balcony and I rushed towards him.
“You have no charm…and wait…did you just call me fat?” I gasped and he smirked again. “You made it fat..I just called you heavy and gigantic” he leaned back in the chair stretching out.
“It really meant the same” I placed my hands on my hips , “Good for you then. I love being like this if you think I’m ugly , I don’t give a crap” I turned around faking my angry voice and seconds later I’m pushed back as my back hits the wall.
“Don’t ever say that again. You are just the most precious thing in my life. And you would look hot in a potato sack too” an unplanned laugh left my mouth and Kunj glared at me , “Way to ruin the moment” he muttered under his breath.
“What can I do. My husband is way to cuteee” I cooed and he gave me another deadly glare and I pinched his cheeks laughing. He swatted my hand away and huffed annoyed , “I’m not cute alright?”
I chuckled kissing his cheek , “Alright alright my cute husband…I mean Kunj” he smiled shaking his head and pulled me closer as I rest my hands on his chest.
“Kiss me?” I questioned and he chuckled , “Is that even a question?” His lips gently brushed against mine and I smiled. I moved my hands and tangled them in his hair and he kissed me harder his tongue brushing against my lower lip. I opened them , eager to taste him.
He bit my lip and a soft moan left my mouth as I tugged at his hair. Every part of my body throbbed at the need of him. My heart ached at how much I have missed being with Kunj.
His taste was exotic and out of this world and I kissed him harder until he moans softly pulling back , “Mahi…she called us in the game room..” he spoke breathlessly and I nodded still in a daze.
He held my hand as we walked out of the room locking it. “Why did she call us at this hour?” I questioned and he shrugged. “Oh my gosh! What if she’s gonna introduce us to her boyfriend. Jeez! I’m so excited”
I clapped childishly as we reached inside the elevator and he laughed shaking his head and I heard him mumble ‘still a child’
“Hope her boyfriend has some hot friends. I mean that would be interesting in this boring trip” I leaned back and faked a yawn. Kunj stepped forward trapping me between his arms , “Sooo…now I ain’t that much interesting to you ha?”
He smirks and I shrugged my shoulders pushing him back , “Maybe” his smirk fell at that instant moment and I laughed mentally. The elevator opens and I quickly rushed out of it making my way towards the game room.
“I love you like a love song baby..” I’m greeted by an awful singer Rohan as I step in and I laughed as Kunj came inside too. I spotted a guy sitting next to Mahi
“Here they are” Maira chirped and Mahi stood up smiling at me. “Finally! What took you guys so long?” she walks towards us and I blushed as Kunj winked at me. “Never mind. This is Ayaan. And Ayaan this is my brother and twinkle , as I have told you about -the best”
I smiled at him shaking his hand , “Trust me on this one , I haven’t heard anything about you. Honestly , nothing. Mahi wouldn’t even tell us your name” I spoke and he chuckled eyeing her. “Guess I have a lot to tell you then”
I nodded as I settled back on the bean bag. “And here my wife thought you would have some ‘hot friends’ , ha?” Kunj smirked and I rolled my eyes , “Well wishes don’t always come true , do they?”
I shrugged and looked
I shrugged and snatched the cookies from Rohan who gave me an annoyed look. “I think they do” Ayaan spoke as he looked at Mahi smiling and she blushed.
“You guys are so cuteee” I cooed and Kunj visibly cringed at cute and I tried hard not to laugh. Rohan kept on snatching the packet of cookies from me and his hand stopped right in mid air with his gaze fixed on the door.
“What? You seeing someone hot or…” my words stopped right there as I titled my head to the back only to find Natasha there and just then the door opened again as I saw my so called mother coming in.
I stood up on my place gulping hardly as I stared at them. “Twinkle , we need to talk” I narrowed my gaze at my mother and blew out a bitter laugh , “Are you sure , we need to talk?” I gestured my hands between her and me and she nodded curtly.
“No , thank you” I spat crossing my arms , “I’d rather go to hell then talk to you” her eyes widened and she looked on to Kunj. “Now that’s not the nicest way to talk to your mother , baby sis?” Natasha speaks , smirking and leans back on the wall.
“You.are.not.my.sister” I hissed pointing at her and she laughed , “Try satisfying yourself” I rolled my eyes and blew out a tired breath.
“Natasha! Can we please drop this for now?” again my so called mother speaks and I fought the urge to roll my eyes. “Twinkle I really need to talk to you”
“Well guess what? You could have done it long back but guess again who decided be a coward and run away” I snapped and she narrowed her gaze at me , “Watch your tone , young lady”
“You have no right to say that. Too bad my mother wasn’t there to teach us some ethics” I smiled sighing and she blew out a frustrated laugh , “I’m trying here. Can’t you see?”
I laughed at her , so badly that I didn’t knew when I had started crying , “Ruining your daughters life is what you call trying then sure” I scoffed.
“I need to get back with your father” she spoke out firmly with a hint of sadness in her tone and I looked on in awe. “And do what? Ruin his life again? Destroy him like you already did years ago? Break him all over when he’s trying so hard to gather himself? How can you be so selfish?”
I didn’t knew when I started yelling only to be pulled back by Kunj. “Just go away from our lives. You have already done enough. Dad doesn’t need you anymore. He’s happy with us , without any signs of the woman who cheated on him twice with his own f**king best friend” I shouted running past her.
Oh God! What have I done?
I kept on running as I reached my room and collapsed down on the floor on my knees. I shouldn’t have said anything. The door opens slowly and I immediately recognize the person.
“I shouldn’t have done that…how can I humiliate her in front of others? But she pushed it badly. How can she be so self-centred and easily tell me that she wants to go back to dad? How can a person be so selfish , Kunj?
I sobbed bringing my knees up to my chest and placed my head on Kunj’s shoulder as we both leaned back on the wall. We both sat there quietly and I kept on crying silently.
“Come here..” Kunj whispers placing me on his lap and immediately wrapped my arms around his neck sighing as I wiped my tears. “Was I wrong when I just yelled at her?” I muttered and I heard him sigh , “Maybe or maybe not. You just threw out all the frustration and anger you had for her out. And somehow I think it’s right that at least she knows the hurt she has caused to everyone.
I can’t promise you everything would be fine but I’ll take whatever it takes to keep her away from your dad and us” I nodded and he let out a small breath.
“I don’t want her in our lives again Kunj. Not after whatever she has done to us. And specially…to dad” my voice cracked in the end making Kunj hug me more tighter.
“But how is it gonna change the fact that your dad still hates my guts?” he whispers and I chuckled wiping my tears and shrugged , “Buy him some flowers and he’ll agree”
His eyes twinkled and a huge grin formed on his lips , “Really?” he looked at me hopefully and I gave him a smile but dropped it instantly , “Of course Not” I replied sarcastically and he rolled his eyes.
“I don’t know…you are a man. And how would I do the ‘man to man’ ways?” I air quoted and he chuckled , “Man to man ways? Really?” I shrugged and stood up making my way towards the bed.
“You are weird” he mutters plopping down next to me , “Says the a*sh*le” I mumbled back resting my head on his chest and pinched his shoulder as he lets out a girly squeal and I look up laughing to meet his gaze.
“Never ever again show off to me about your non existing masculinity” I whispered and he rolled his eyes scoffing out loud. “Whatever. Don’t you see these?” he sat up and lifted his shirt revealing his six pack and I laughed , “Nope. My eyes are covered”
I replied biting my lip not to laugh harder. “Righhhttt! Any girl would kill for this” he flaunted and I rolled my eyes removing my hand from my eyes , “And any guy would die for this” I boasted too , flipping my hair back dramatically.
“Is that So?” he smirked pulling me closer to him and I nodded smirking back. “Then shouldn’t they be aware that what they would be drooling over is my wife and she’s only mine?” he questions his hands going under my v neck and I smiled , “You should probably warn every guy then”
“Why warn them when my one glare is enough?” I chuckled and he looked on smiling. “For once , like once stop boasting about yourself” I chuckled and he looked on smiling.
“Hey twinkle…” he trailed smirking and I raised my eyebrow curiously , “I guess there’s a lizard…” he didn’t completed his sentence and I flinched pulling out of his arms.
“You are such an ass” I grumbled and pulled the covers on top of me and heard him laugh before he pulled me closer and my back touched his chest.
He kissed my cheek and I smiled before closing my eyes. Having kunj and the rest by my side is all what I need right now. And without him there’s no me no matter how much of a bipolar ass he can get.
