Kunj’s Mansion:
“Twinkle!” He came calling into the house.
“What is it?” She asked rushing from the stairs.
“Be ready tonight. We’ve to go for dinner at a business partner’s house.”
“Ok.” She replied.
“And Twinkle! I’ve called the designer and she’ll come and give you your dress.”
“I’ll wear what I like! You’ve a problem!” She snapped.
“Twinkle! The problem is that I don’t trust your judgements.”
“Why?” She frowned.
“Who marries a man she met a day before?” He mocked in a matter-of-fact tone.
Now she was hell angry! “Go to hell with your designer! And I married you because…” She stopped in the middle and realized what she was doing!
“Married me because…?”
“Forget that! And…”
Her voice was interrupted by that voice of designer. “Sir I’ve brought the dress. Where should I keep it?”
And Twinkle lost it! She shouted at her, “YOU CAN KEEP IT IN YOUR OWN WARDROBE! BECAUSE I…” Before she could continue Kunj’s palm was on her mouth and he was glaring angrily at her.
“Aanchal you leave! I’ll talk to you later.”
She nodded and left not before keeping the dress on sofa.
He removed his hand and yelled, “what’s your problem huh? Why do you need to behave like a child all the time!”
“I’M BEHAVING LIKE A CHILD!” She yelled back pointing a finger at herself.
“Listen this clearly Twinkle! Either you’re wearing this or nothing at all!” He said bluntly and walked out while Twinkle stood there in shock.
‘What the hell does he think of himself!’ She thought angrily and picked up the opaque dress cover and opened the zip to see the dress within. And she realized that it was indeed her type. It was a decent red gown with golden embroidery.
‘Ok! I’ll wear this. But just because I like it. But not because his stupid threat!’ She gave clarification to herself.
Evening:
Twinkle came out of the washroom wearing that dress and with wet hairs. Kunj kept staring at her. He was mesmerized seeing her in HIS chosen gown and wet hairs scattered on her shoulder. Her dupatta was in her hands. She looked into his eyes and they’ve an eye lock. Twinkle was completely lost in his eyes and while walking her feet get stuck in the carpet making herself fall on Kunj, taking him with her on floor. Now Kunj was on the floor and she was above him! She was so irresistible and so close. Her warm breath fanning his face which was inches apart. Their eyes were still locked with each other. Her wet hairs were falling on his shoulders and his hands were on her waist, what more worse was- she was making no attempt to move! He could hardly control himself.
“Not again!” He groaned and quickly after making both of them stable on their feets, grabbed a towel.
“Where are you going?” She asked.
“I… I need a cold shower.” He answered breathing heavily and hurried to the washroom.
“But you took shower just now!” She said confusedly to which he didn’t reply.
She was so confused and annoyed. She took her phone and called Disha.
“Hello Disha.”
“Yes Twinkle!”
“I’ve to ask you something. You know just now I fell on Kunj and he quickly got up and said he wanted a cold shower.”
“Twinkle! Why do you deduce from that?” Disha asked in a matter-of-fact tone.
“What do you mean huh? Do I smell that bad that he had to take a shower after bumping into me!”
Now Disha felt like banging her head in a nearby wall at the naivety of this girl who couldn’t understand her husband’s physical attraction towards her!
“Twinkle! Listen carefully.” Disha didn’t know how to frame the next words. “Emm… He was afraid that things would end up… In a wrong way. He likes you… THAT way!”
“What way?”
Now Disha could stand it no more. “Twinkle I’ve some work. I’ve to go. Ok bye.” She disconnected the call making Twinkle annoyed.
Meanwhile Kunj was having a really hard time. Never in his life, did it happen that he wanted a girl and he couldn’t get her. Every time the girls would throw themselves on him and he was proud of it.
He reminisced the previous moment with Twinkle and ran a hand through his wet hairs. ‘If one more moment we would’ve been in that position, I would’ve just pinned her beneath me and done something for which she would hate me all my life!’ He sighed. No one could understand how much he was holding himself back. His subconscious mind fought, ‘what’s wrong Kunj! You don’t like her remember! She’s is the most irritating woman you’ve ever met!’ He shrugged pulling himself out of HER thoughts.
He after making himself presentable came out to see her blow drying her hairs. All her hairs were on the front and the dori of her dress wasn’t tied giving a small view of her back.
“Click a picture. It’ll last longer!” She taunted embarrassing him again but this time he knew how to tease Twinkle.
He moved towards her clearing his throat and said deeply plastering seriousness, “Twinkle I’m your husband. I’ve all the rights to stare at you. Not only stare I can also…”
“I… I think we’re getting late.” Saying this she ran from there before things got out of control.
As she walked out, he began laughing. ‘I very well know how to make you silent.’
The ride was silent till they reached the house.
“Listen Twinkle, see…”
“I know. I know. Twinkle this dinner is important to me. Pretend that we’re happy couple etcetera etcetera.” He mimicked his actions from the reception day. He couldn’t help smiling at her. How perfectly she knew him!
The host welcomed Twinj and they had a happy time. All had dinner and when they asked Twinj about their love story, they said the same lies they had learned by now!
Twinkle was really enjoying the time. The people were so nice and frank. After when it was late night, they bid good-byes and left.
On the way home, Kunj’s car broke down. “Damn it!” He said angrily hitting his hand on the steering wheel.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know. I’ll just check.”
“Your car is just like you! Unpredictable!”
“Was it meant to laugh!”
She rolled her eyes in reply. He, then checked the car and sighed. “It needs a mechanic.”
“Where do we find a mechanic now?” She asked worriedly.
“Twinkle relax. I’ll call the driver and ask him to bring another car and mechanic as well.”
He took out his phone and tried to call the driver. After about 5 minutes, he looked at her. “He’s not picking up the call.”
“Look at the time. He must be sleeping! Now what? Can it get any more worse?” She yelled angrily.
Just then the clouds thundered and it started raining. Kunj glared at her, “Was it necessary to ask? Now come.”
“Where?”
“Wherever your husband takes you!” He answered irritated by so many questions and pulled her hand.
After walking some distance, they saw a big, grand, glass hotel standing in front of them. “Wow!” Twinkle mouthed. It looked so elegant, it’s design was unique and it glowed in the darkness of the night because of the lights which was adding more to it’s beauty.
Both of them were completely drenched by now. They went inside and Kunj walked passed the lobby much to Twinkle’s surprise. The receptionist yelled, “Stop Mister! You can’t go inside like that!”
He turned to her. “Do you know who I’m? I’m Kunj Sarna- Owner of this place!”
The receptionist was scared by his anger and Twinkle was more surprised.
“Come Twinkle.” He said and pulled her with him.
“Kunj.” She called, making him to stop. “Look I know this is your hotel but that doesn’t mean we can enter any room like that!” She spoke in a low voice.
Kunj looked at her unbelievably. ‘Does she really think I was planning on entering any room like that!’ He said in mind. “Do me a favor Twinkle! Don’t ever use that tiny, little brain of yours. I’ve one suite always booked for me in this hotel. We’re going there.”
With those words, he turned to leave. Twinkle didn’t move from there. An unknown sadness and a sharp pain filled her heart. She wasn’t dumb to not understand why one room was always booked for him! Why did he come here and what did he need!
Kunj by now was climbing the stairs when he realized Twinkle can’t stay quiet for so long! He turned around to see her still standing there in lobby. “Twinkle.” He said and gestured her to come while she just nodded and followed him.
After they reached the room, Kunj grabbed a towel and gave it to her. “Wipe your hair and change your clothes. You’ll catch cold.” She silently took the towel and began to walk to the washroom.
Kunj held her wrist. “What happened?” He asked.
“If I ask you something, will you answer me honestly?”
“Of course.” He answered but her expressions got him worried.
She took a deep breath and questioned, “how many times have you visited this place after OUR marriage?” He clearly understood the meaning of her words.
He cupped her face saying, “Twinkle, I maybe rude, arrogant, bad and selfish but I. Am. Not. A. Betrayer. I’ll never cheat on YOU.” He smiled sadly. “I understand the pain of betrayal. I would never inflict the same pain on somebody else.” He added and walked away.
Twinkle felt guilty for doubting him like that but she couldn’t help it. She desperately needed to know this. Even though their relationship wasn’t based on moral values or love based things but it really mattered if he was loyal to her or not
After freshening up themselves, they straightly went to their sides of bed without talking to eachother.
Next Morning-
“Twinkle! Driver has come. You leave with him.”
She frowned. “And you?”
“I’ve to attend an important meeting today so I’ll go directly to the office.”
“Ok.” She said and was about to leave but turned around. “Kunj!”
“Hmmm.”
“I… I’m sorry!”
“For what?”
“I promise I’ll never doubt you again.” She said regretfully looking down.
He smiled. “It’s nothing to be sorry about Twinkle. I was like that once. You’ve all the right to ask me anything. Ok!”
She beamed and smiled brightly. “Bye. Take care. And come home before afternoon. I’ll be waiting for lunch.”
He nodded with an assuring smile while she walked off the room. Her heart was calm and at peace because she was sure that Kunj would never hurt her and after apologizing to him, she felt better as he wasn’t angry at her.
She was completely drowned in her thoughts and she didn’t realize that she bumped into someone. She looked up to see Chayya standing there.
She didn’t recognize her because she had met her only once. “I’m sorry!” Twinkle apologized and picked up her clutch and handed over to Chayya. “It’s Ok.” Chayya replied with a smirk and walked inside.
Twinkle was about to go inside when her eyes fall on Chayya’s bracelet lying on the floor. She picked it up and thought, ‘it might’ve fallen when I bumped into her. I should return it to her.’
She walked inside to find Chayya. She spotted her and was about to call her when she saw Chayya entering the room in which Kunj was still there! Her voice got stuck in her throat and the worst thoughts started coming to her mind but her heart still trust Kunj. She walked closer with slow strides. She tried to compose herself thinking it might be a business partner or something but she didn’t find any explanation relieving the feeling of dread inside her.
She walked closer and with every step she felt she would die of breathlessness. Finally she placed her hand on the knob of the door and was relieved to find it open but that relief lasts only for a couple of seconds as she witnessed what was going inside.
Kunj was holding Chayya in his arms and he was placing her on the bed!
Twinkle’s heart broke to see it! Just an hour ago, he promised her he would never cheat on her! Everything seemed a lie! His words, his actions, his care, everything! She didn’t want to see it. A huge lump had already formed in her throat. Even the tears weren’t ready to come out. Her legs kept moving backwards up til her back hit something and a vase fall on the floor catching their attention.
Kunj’s head snapped to her direction. Their eyes met, and HIS eyes held pain, regret, guilt, shock at seeing her there while her eyes were holding only one emotion- HURT. Chayya was pretending like it was nothing new just casual.
Twinkle didn’t want to break down in front of the people who didn’t value her tears. She turned around to leave.
“Close the door before leaving!” She heard Chayya’s voice. Kunj, who was still standing there in shock, yelled in dangerously high pitch, “Shut up Chayya and get lost!”
“Fine. Call me when you need me.” She said looking at Twinkle. Twinkle felt like someone had stabbed her heart with a sharp knife. Chayya was insulting her so much.
With each passing minute, she was making Twinkle realize how unwanted she was! Chayya walked to Twinkle and said, “Oh come on! If you would’ve given him what he needs, he wouldn’t have needed anyone else.”
“Chayya I said leave.” He roared again.
Chayya smirked leaving from there. Kunj was still standing at the edge of the bed.
“Twinkle I…”
Before he could complete, Twinkle ran outside. All she wanted to push that horrifying image out of her head, to run away so far that no one could hear her screams and see her tears. The worst feeling in the world was giving all the love you’ve and knowing it’ll never be returned.
She had barely reached the corridor when she heard Kunj calling for her. She ignored him and kept walking.
She reached the parking Lott. He pulled her by her wrist and tried to say, “Twinkle listen to me. Chayya was just…”
Before he could complete, Twinkle slapped him hard making Kunj stunned. “I couldn’t even think you would do such a SICK thing! Our marriage might be nothing to you but it meant everything to me. I… I had no one in the world and you were my only family.” She said crying vigorously. “I know we aren’t like other married couples but I thought at least you would respect our marriage. Kunj today, by making the joke of our relationship you tarnished all the respect I had in my heart for you!”
“Twinkle please…”
“Enough Kunj!” She spoke wiping her tears. “Now I don’t care if you sleep around with that girl or any other women! I DON’T TRUST YOU ANYMORE! AND WITHOUT TRUST THERE IS NO REASON TO CONTINUE THIS RELATIONSHIP!”
No matter how strong a person is, there’s always someone who can make you weak. And this was the moment for Kunj. She just said she wouldn’t be with him anymore! He was used to people leaving him but never in his life he had felt so much emptiness. He stood there stunned and broken not knowing what to do. He never understood how much he needed her by his side until he saw himself losing her.
“Pyaar Humko Bhi Hai, Pyaar Tumko Bhi Hai…
To Yeh Kya Silsile Ho Gaye…
Bewafa Hum Nahin, Bewafa Tum Nahin…
To Kyoon Itne Gile Ho Gaye…
Chalte Chalte… Kaise Yeh Faasle Ho Gaye…
Kya Pata Kahan Hum Chale played.”
Kunj was standing there expressionlessly. He didn’t know how to react, he wanted to stop Twinkle but wasn’t having energy to even move an inch. He was broken, frustrated, hurt and felt himself a LOSER. “Twinkle don’t leave me please. You promised me, no matter what you would stick to me forever” He whispered in a chocked voice holding his tears back. “You can’t go, I too don’t have anyone as my family!” He was keep murmuring. “Twinkle!” This time he yelled but Twinkle was already gone. He sat down with a thud letting his tears to flow.
“Duniya Jo Poochhe To Kya Hum Kahe…
Koi Yeh Humko Samjha De…
Thes Lagi To Pal Mein Toot Gaye…
Sheeshe Ke The Kya Sab Vaade…
Jaata Hai Koi…. Kyoon Sapnon Ko Thukraake…
Paayega Yeh Dil Kya Kisi Ko Bataake…
Chalte Chalte…. Raakh Hum Bin Jale Ho Gaye played.”
Twinkle after walking away cried all the while. She couldn’t believe what just happened! She didn’t want to go home because there she would’ve to face him. And his face would again remind her of his betrayal. “Why did you do this Kunj? Everything was going so perfectly! Why did you ruined it?” Were the only thoughts running in her mind.
“Doob Gaya Hai Jaise Dard Mein Dil…
Aansu Bhari Hain Ab Aankhein…
Tanhaaiyon Ki Jo Rut Aa Gayi…
Ujdi Hui Hain Sab Raahein…
Socha Tha Paayenge Dono Ek Manzil Ko…
Raahein Jo Badli To Tum Hi Bata Do…
Chalte Chalte Gum Kahan Kaafle Ho Gaye…
Pyaar Humko Bhi Hai, Pyaar Tumko Bhi Hai…
To Yeh Kya Silsile Ho Gaye played.”
She didn’t know what to do now. She was walking aimlessly on the streets. Suddenly a car was about to hit her. She shut her eyes tightly thinking it as the end of her life but the car stopped in a nick of time.
To her surprise, Disha came out of the car and was worried to see Twinkle in such a dishevelled state, her eyes swollen and face covered in sweat and hair completely messed up.
“Twinkle are you Ok?” Disha asked worriedly.
Twinkle didn’t want to involve her in this so she quickly wiped her tears and managed to say, “Yeah! I’m fine.”
As she was about to walk past Disha, Disha held her hand. “Come! I’ll drop you home.”
“HOME!” Twinkle repeated bitterly and felt like laughing on the joke destiny had played on her.
“No Disha. I want to be alone!” She said removing her hand from Disha’s
Disha sensed something really bad and stated sternly, “Twinkle! If you don’t want to go to your home, come with me then.”
She pulled Twinkle with her. Twinkle was too tired to argue now. She just followed her like a lifeless body. She didn’t say a word throughout the entire journey. She was just thinking how happy she was and how in a few minutes her world came crashing down.
She blamed herself for expecting so much from a person like Kunj. They reached Disha’s house. She took Twinkle inside. “Twinkle! You consider me as your sister na! Then won’t you tell your sister?” She said caressing her face. At this moment, Twinkle desperately needed someone and she knew she could trust Disha. She broke down and tells her everything.
Disha was hell angry at Kunj. “How could he do this! Wait! I’ll break his face so bad that no girl will…”
“That won’t change anything Disha.” Twinkle said in the same flat, emotionless tone.
Disha was sad seeing her like this but she knew no polite words from anyone could relieve her pain now. She had to fight it herself and take a decision. But she knew Kunj from 4 years. After her marriage with Yuvraj, he was like family. She knew something was fishy and that Kunj could never do such a thing but she didn’t want to scrap Twinkle’s wounds more by talking about it!
“Twinkle! I think you should go home. Kunj must be worried about you but if you don’t want to go, you can stay here as long as you want. This is your house as well!”
“I don’t want to go there now.” Twinkle concluded.
“Ok. Come. I’ll show you, your room.” Disha said and guided her to her room.
“Sleep well. I’ll just get water.” Disha said smiling and left.
She came out and messaged Kunj,
‘meet me outside my house this very instant you jacka*s!’
Within 15 minutes, Kunj was there. He was hell worried, “where’s Twinkle? She’s fine na? I need to…”
“Just shut up Kunj! How dare you cheat her! I thought you were a gentleman but…”
“Disha you really think I would do something so wicked! That too with Twinkle?”
Disha was his best friend. She could see his expressions and guess what was wrong! “What do you mean Kunj? Say it clearly.”
He closed his eyes in frustration and anger. “It was Chayya! She created this mess!” He said fisting his hand.
She trusted Kunj. She knew he would never lie. Not at least in such circumstances. “What really happened?” She asked.
Kunj told her everything.
“Oh God! That bi*ch. I should’ve known. Come Kunj. Tell the truth to Twinkle!” She said pulling Kunj with her.
He didn’t move. “What’s wrong? Come?”
He gently freed his hand from Disha’s grip saying, “she would never believe me!”
“But…”
“You just take care of her.” With those words he went from there while Disha sighed helplessly.
Morning-
“Twinkle! What decision have you taken?” Disha questioned intently.
Twinkle closed her eyes in pain. “I WANT DIVORCE.” She answered in a low voice.
