Recap: Sanchay organises the “know eo “program. The first round was “Never have I ever” ,then the stare off between twinj, twinkle mistakenly hits kunj with her handbag n at kunjs home kunj gives a tight hug to sanchay for the opportunity of stare off
Part 35–
K: ok guys we need to do this, its high tym now.
A: I do agree kunj but how vl v confront her?
S: let’s say directly
K: ya dats a pretty gud idea. Let’s keep it simple n deliver all the essentials
The trio were having a early morning discussion about how to tell twinkle they know more about her. Kunj wanted to get off the weight on his heart every tym he had to address her as Latika n felt guilty over not confronting.
S: per bhaiya (bro) I have a doubt!
K: ya go on
S: look, everyone has only one name but why has she got two? I think twinkle is more to her than a nick name.
A: sanchay has got a point. I think the name “twinkle” suits her better than latika.
But why she choose latika over twinkle?
K: even I have thought about it but I haven’t fairly got through it. Once we confront may be we cud ask her .
S: ya but why two prominent names?
Kunj looked at Sanchay who was deep dug in his world of cracking the reason for two names.
K: anyone can have two prominent names, I don’t think there’s anything weird abt it.
S: No bhaiya(bro), I don’t think so. Name anyone as such?
K: YOU
S: me???
K: ya , u have two names too, Sanchay and Duffer!!!
Sanchay fumes in anger n looks at AM for help , but AM stands their with his hands up, irking sanchay even more.
A: I can’t help u in this, kunj has got a solid point!!
S: haslo jitna bhi hasna hai, kisiko meri kadar hi nahi hai, bhabi KO aane do tab batunga.
(Have fun at my cost for now, none of u really care abt me. The tables are gonna turn once bhabi turns up here)
AM and kunj smiles at his complaints.
Twinkles POV :
As i went though the file once again my eyes fell on a colorful paper beside the file, “Today finally ” I thought feeling relived.
I saw it one last tym it was perfect!
I heard a knock , I turned to see it was Armaan , I immediately hid the the colorful paper amid some file.
Once Armaan moved out I was asked to get the file of the revised plans , I took the file which lay right front of me and with a confidence of already having checked it once a few mins ago I walked towards kunjs cabin.
After an hour:
Kunj kept fiddling with the paper weight, smiling to himself n questioning at the same time.
Kunjs POV:
I really do like twinkle, but I’m not able to gather all my thoughts together and think of confronting her.
If I ask sanchu or AM they wud suggest me to think n propose her sooner or later, but I’m I ready for this? I mean for marriage? To live with another person for the rest of life?
Its not DAT I’m having second thoughts abt twinkle, she is just perfect! More than what I cud I have asked for. She is a perfect blend of confidence and beauty.
Its just that I think I need to give her more time.
Uff!! Actually I need time .
God!!! Why is this feeling so confusing?
Can’t it be simple? Like tally in a busines?
‘Then it wud have been called as business not love’ my heart reminded me.
I smiled at myself, everytym I think of her(which I do most of the time) she always gets that VIP seat in my heart n not to forget every tym I see her my heart takes a back flip!
I saw the file twinkle had just kept here few mins ago, the improved version of the project.
It took the entire team a full two weeks to rearrange it along with re-planning.
I went through it admiring the ones contributed to it . I was half way into it when I heard a jerky noise
And thuddd!
Damn! what was DAT?
I saw sanchay looking at me with apologetic eyes , he just crashed into my cabinet and the files got scattered on the floor!
Can this guy ever be sensible?
‘U were no less than him at his age’ my mind reminded me.
“I vl put them back to where they belonged” he said arranging the papers n I joined him too.
“U carry on with some work u were dng bro” he said me
” I vl go through the file later ,however its impt so I need to give more tym to it.” I replied
“The revised plan file?” He asked
“Ya. Twinkle just got it in. But I’m pretty busy today so I vl return it to her to improvise one last thing in so far I have read and vl study it thoroughly tomorrow”I explained
“Ohk”
As the lunch hour commenced he said that he wud arrange the last few files n that I should carry on with Armaan for lunch.
I nodedd,
“And don’t go on messing up files on my table, they are important ones” I warned him knowing how hard the whole team had worked for the revised plans and left the cabin with the file read incomplete on my table!
End of POV
Sanchays POV:
As I arranged the files n decided to move out i turned only to make contact with the file at the edge of the table and the contents fell down.
God!!!!! Not again !, I screamed
As I collected the papers from the floor I found a colorful paper, well it was a greeting.
“Love to express a loveable feeling with a beloved one ” it read.
In a nano sec as it hit me, I smiled.
My bhaiya (bro) just bought a greeting for my bhabi(sis in law) !!!!
That’s why he said me to stay away from this file!
Smart hah!!
End of POV
Twinkles POV:
I kept looking at the photo residing in my drawer, and as if in sync, my Lil memories flooded before my eyes, before I cud catch them they were gone.
The photo had two Lil kids playing in the park, I still remember it was clicked by my aunt.
I smiled faintly. How much ever u wish for , sum things tend to walk away from u, u can’t keep it locked, if dat was even a tad bit possible, I wud have had my lovely family waiting for me when I returned home tired each evening.
But I still smile, I have a reason to, Neeru.
I wiped the lone tear that was threatening to roll down my cheeks.
I kept the photo frame back in the drawer and soon the lunch hour broke out.
“Tym to fill my tummy” I squeezed in relief, sorrow does make u hungry! , I thought foolishly.
Running down the office stairs to pass the heavy number of people chilling out right in the middle of the campus, I crashed on to some one and damn, my sandwich was now lying on the ground embraced with mud.
I looked at my watch, I didn’t have the tym to get another one, I looked helplessly at the abandoned sandwich,I spotted a pair of legs n they were of a women , probably the one I collided with I thought and straightened my neck to see her.
I agree it took some 4 seconds to register , but when it did, before I cud act ,she hugged me.
After a long tym I felt homely in her embrace.
I was just thinking abt her a few mins ago and she is ryt here! My Aunt! aunt Aleeza !
A: hai Allah, twinkle!!!!
T: hah…..how u auntz
A: really good, u beta?
T: superb
She held my face in her hands n smiled widely.
A: where had u gone?
I fell silent. I didn’t wanted to bring this up.
T: u disappeared too
She smiled at me.
A: hmm…I won’t talk abt it until u want to.
“She just read my mind, like she always did”. I smiled at her, thankfull dat she decided to drop the matter.
A: chalo, now let’s head home
And then she dragged me without giving the chance to reply.
Once I was inside her home. It was elegantly designed.
“Hmm…perfect!” I spoke, still my eyes fixed on the wall paintings.
She placed her arm around my shoulders,
“Ya, the decorations are beautiful” she agreed.
“I saw it yesterday , renovated, wasn’t allowed into my own house until yesterday ” she laughed.
I joined in.
“Uncle?” I asked.
“Out of town” she replied
I smiled.
End of pov
Twinkle had last meet Aleeza aunt in her childhood. She did hesitate initially to open up.
Sensing it,
A: don’t hesitate, we still have the same bond I hope. Feel comfortable.. I just can’t tell u how happy I’m to see u.
T: ya… Me too…but how u recognized me?
A: ur mom had shown me ur pic a couple of years back. From then u haven’t changed much.
Twi smiled .
A: take a look around , vl prepare ur fav childhood dishes. They are still ur fav ryt?
T: yaaa…
Twinkle was really happy to finally be their, she felt good n meeting her favorite aunt was a bliss.
@ Office
S: suno na aaru
(Listen to me aaru)
A: sanchay aaj tum such mein pagal hogaye ho.
(Sanchu u have gone mad today for sure)
S: tu bhi bhaiya ki tarah kyu daant rahe ho ?
(Why Ru scolding me like bro does?)
A: toh aur kya karu? Sar pe bhitake naachu?
(Then what do u expect me to do? Celebration?)
S: mujhe konsa pata tha, aisa kuch hone wala hai.
(How cud I know that it wud turn out this way)
Per bhaiya KO maat batana.
(But don’t tell this to bro)
A: sanchu , sawal kunj ki nahi hai, Teri bhabi ka hai. Agar twinkle KO uss letter milgaya toh, twinkle kunj ki band bhajadegi or kunj tumhara.
(Sanchu, the question isnt abt telling kunj, its about ur sister in law! If twinkle gets DAT letter then for sure kunj is gonna have a tough tym n so does u)
N AM walks out of the cabin.
Sanchays POV :
Oh god! I have landed bhaiya (bro) in gr8 danger this tym. But I was so excited abt the love letter I found in the file which twinkle bhabi (Sis in law) was working on DAT I thought it was from bhaiya to her, n in excitement I sent it to her address as I didn’t find her in her cabin.
And now aaru is telling me dat bro has not written any such letter. Then who’s letter was DAT? And more importantly to whom it was written and why was it placed in the file twinkle di was in charge of?
God now I just hope DAT the letter won’t reach her! Uff!!!
Twinkle had already informed her office of her taking leave in the afrrnoon lieing that she wasnt well , while on the way to her aunts house. But she just got to know dat the letter she adored so much few mins ago was not Der!
She didn’t know where she had placed it, she kept thinking .she cudn’t afford to loose it. No way at all.
And the one who just said her DAT it wasn’t on her table wud not have mistaken for sure.
No one does in such matter.
It should have been in one of those files on her table but it wasn’t .
“Where did I misplace the love letter?” She screamed to herself.
Kunj stood in the parking lot watching AM behaving different.
“Whats up with him today? Hes pacing to and fro in search of some solution?” Thought kunj pressing his forehead.
K: aaru all good?
A: yep.
K: u sure?
A: ya… BTW when Ru gng to propose twinkle? Or u proposed already?
K: propose…..twinkle…..I don’t know…
But y all of sudden this question?
A: just thought of asking u?
K: if I’m gonna do DAT , I won’t do it secretly . I vl tell u pretty much before Im gonna do it.
A: hmm
AM’s POV:
Oh god! My mind is roasted for now. From past one hour I’m making frantic efforts to think of a solution to retrieve the letter b4 it reaches twinkle but I’m blank for now.
I don’t know how kunj is gonna react if he gets to know abt the mess he is pulled into.
Im sure he is doubting my abnormal behavior of asking him abt proposing twinkle, but I’m just making sure he hasn’t written Any letter to her.
But what was a love letter dng in dat file?
Who has written it n more importantly to whom?
God sanchay!!!!!
This stunt of his is seeming difficult to make up.
Its evening now, so far what I know is that tomorrow is Sunday hence d letter is gng to reach her only on Monday. That’s a tad bit of relief.
The honking of a near by car bought me back to reality, it was kunj behind the hand wheel with sanchu in passenger seat buckled up.
Offoo, we are heading to my renovated home , mum has come home so she has ordered us to meet her?
I almost forgot that.
Aunt Aleezas POV :
How good of a day today is. I met twinkle, I just can’t believe we crossed eo’s path n I’m glad we did .
Its been ages I haven’t seen her.
She has grown into a bubbly sweet responsible woman.
But what was she dng in Armaan’s office campus? I had gone to surprise kunj , aaru n sanchu der but was left surprised by her presence .
I haven’t asked her abt it? Does she work der?
Then does she even know that Armaan is her childhood bestie?
I smiled at my own growing confusions.
If she isn’t aware of who Armaan is then its gonna be fun watching der meet after pretty long years.
I smiled at the coincidences, I have called all the three here today n luckily I met twinkle today.
Its gonna be some sort of get together.
End POV
Twinkle was always the daughter aunt Aleeza didn’t have, she adored twinkle ,played with the twinkle in latters childhood and fed her lovingly when twinkle fought with her mom for petty things.
Aunt: here goes ur favorite dishes
T: aww…..looking delicious Aleezu auntu?
Aunt: u still remember u calling me dat when u were young!
T: how can i forget ? And I’m still young hah …
A: ya….young pretty smart woman .

(Gave her aunt a flying kiss)
T: hey by the way where is ur son? My crazy friend?
A: oh u haven’t seen him?

T: no…I work their auntu Aleezuu….
Creative director @TEENs (waved her office I’d)
A: my bacha is a working responsible lady!
By now Aunt Aleeza was clear dat twinkle didn’t know her crazy Lil friend back then is Armaan
T: hah and u had come der na? Any impt work?
A: no i was der to meet my son.
T: what? My crazy frnd works der I didn’t know!
A: I vl soon introduce u…
Ur parents wud have been so proud of u!
Aunt Aleeza’s POV :
I regretted it the second I spoke those words.
I bit my tongue in dissatisfaction abt bringing the topic which made twinkle shrink in the cosy chair.I apologized mentally for dat.
I heard a horn , Armaan is home!
Its surely gonna set her mood ryt!
A: seems dat ur crazy friend came home!
T: oh…gr8!
A: Just sit here…let’s see if hes gonna recognize u!
T: Yep (squealed in excitement)
AM’s POV:
Once kunj stopped near the gate, me n sanchu hopped out while kunj drove to park the beast!
I heard some ruffling sounds from inside, but I was worried abt the letter so nothing grabbed my attention much .
As we walked in , my mom’s smiling face appeared , it relived some amt of stress..
Magical! , I smiled n hugged her..
“Hey poops!”,sanchay screached in and gave her a warm hug.
My mom took us in some undefined excitement towards the hall.
“What she is up to?” I thought to myself!
“Is she fixing my marriage alliance?, no way. She won’t do any such stuff!” I reminded myself.
At a distance I saw a person on the dinning table, a girl. But vaguely I thought i was familiar with whoever the person was. Soon I dismissed the idea n walked in.
End of POV
Twinkle POV
I heard some ruffling sounds from the entrance and the footsteps seem to near me with each passing second.
Then I heard one more voice which came from pretty near from where I sat.
Something said me I knew the voice to not to miss it. But I still can’t tell who the owner was?
“Hey pupi!!” Was all i heard.
Was it him? My frnd? Have I ever met my crazy frnd b4 n was unaware of it!
Do such coinincidence takes place?
As instructed I sat with my back towards the door, waiting for my friends entry.
End of pov
Kunjs POV :
Once I parked the car, I went into the home, not finding anyone in the entrance area I headed for the hall and to dinning area, since i heard some voices coming from dat direction.
As i walked
in I cud see a back of a girl!
Who is it?
Not bothering abt her I greeted my pupi, my one n lovely pupi…Armaan’s mom.
“Hey pupi!!!” I screamed as she side hugged me.
“Ohk bachoo, I have someone here today whom I thought u should meet” she announced. My eyes fixed on the girls back.
Some daughter of pupis frnd , I thought.
“Well Armaan u know u remember ur childhood friend? Taneja’s daughter?” Pupi asked to Armaan and he nodedd in agreement.
“The one with two short ponies, whom I haven’t seen from past few long years”,Armaan added.
“Exactly! So here she is …Meet ur friend Twinkle Taneja” pupi said
And b4 my mind cud register the name, the girl turned and i swear my heart did a back flip!
“Twinkle????” My mind screamed.
She was equally shocked and I think I saw sanchays jaw dropped.
Twinkles POV :
Were they real?
Am i dreaming?
Armaan, sanchay and kunj ryt in front my eyes.
End of POV
Aunt: so Twinkle , this is ur friend n my son, Armaan.
” I bet they r as shocked as me!”thought twinkle.
Sanchay leaned towards Armaan n whispered,
“Is twinkle the one who was with u in that old days photo saved in ur gallery? And i thought she resembled someone that day ryt?
AM: Ya, I can’t believe my eyes either.
She is Twinkle Taneja! My childhood friend , kunjs mystery girl and ur bhabi!!!!
All in one!
