Hello everyone!! A big thank you to each one of my readers, who’ve been the very reason I’ve been able to continue writing, just like the old times. To be honest, when the idea of writing a Season 2 for this story was first hatched, this was the episode that I had dreamt of writing, it was the very goal, but the possibility of it coming true had seemed very bleak back then. I’m extremely grateful to each one of you that I’ve been able to realise that dream. Happy reading!
Twinj: When I Fell For You: Season 2 Episode 11
A quick recap: Amaya goes into premature labour and delivers a baby girl after long, tense hours. Twinkle discovers that she herself is pregnant, but doesn’t reveal it due to the tense atmosphere. She returns home to take care of the kids, leaving Yuvi and Usha at the hospital, while Kunj returns to work.
Twinkle had a hard time managing the kids, getting them to even eat, since they were extremely excited about the next day when they would finally get to see the baby. They had already asked Twinkle to describe how the baby looks a hundred times, but they didn’t seem to get enough of it. She herself couldn’t hold in her excitement, wanting to be able to play with the little baby, even as she thought of her own baby. She had been disappointed when Kunj had called her up to inform her that he wouldn’t be home for dinner, for she wanted to tell him about the baby as soon as she could. She had finally put Simmi and Pari to sleep, turned out the bright light and put on a small lamp and walked out when she saw Kunj enter the house. She blushed as she recalled Kunj’s excitement when she had announced her pregnancy when she was expecting Simmi. She wondered if she should do something special, but didn’t get any time to work on her ideas as she saw Kunj head up the stairs. “Hi!” He greeted her with a quick peck on her forehead. “Kids asleep?” He asked, peeping into the room. She nodded, smiling brightly, which he thought was a little unusual, but didn’t point it out, assuming it was because of Amaya’s baby’s arrival.
Twinkle had dragged Kunj along to their room, and asked him to freshen up quickly. She waited impatiently, walking around the room, making Kunj giggle when he came out of the washroom. He simply stood there, watching her in amusement as she continued, unaware of his presence for some time. He tiptoed over to her when she was facing away from him, and hugged her from behind. She jumped up at the sudden intrusion into her thoughts, but then relaxed into his arms. “Were you this excited when Pari was born too?” He asked, nuzzling his nose on her neck. She shivered as his hands sneaked to her tummy, thinking of the little soul in there. She turned around, facing him and smacked him playfully, saying “Your hands are cold!” She giggled as he murmured “You’re warm though” pulling her closer. She put her right hand around his neck, and placed a deep kiss on his cheek, meanwhile her guiding his hand with her other hand to place it over her tummy. As he widened his eyes in surprise, she bit her lower lip and then hugged him tight. “I’m pregnant!” She whispered and placed a peck on his shoulder, standing on her toes to reach there.
Kunj couldn’t even find the right words to express his happiness. He hugged her tight, then pulled away, picked her up in his arms and whirled around, grinning wide, while she just looked at him with a content smile. He put her down slowly, kneeled down in front of her and placed his hands on her tummy. “Hi baby!! This is your Papa! He loves you so much!!” He spoke in a childish lisp, and Twinkle added, “Mumma loves you more, baby!” He looked up at her, not happy at being disturbed when he was having a serious conversation with his baby, making Twinkle laugh. He smiled at her and stood up, pulling her closer, and said, “I love you too! Don’t get jealous of my baby!” Twinkle turned away angrily, but he held her by her wrist and pulled her back. He locked his lips with hers, pouring all his love for her in it, while she responded back with every bit of her love. It was a slow, passionate kiss, an assuring one, that they would be there for each other forever, an indication that their love was eternal. “I love you!” Kunj said, as they separated for air. “I love you too!” Twinkle replied, placing her head on his chest as she regained her breath. “I couldn’t thank you enough, for coming into my life, being my best friend, accepting my love, giving me your love, Simmi and this little one!” He spoke slowly as he swayed her gently, closing his eyes, feeling blessed.
“Let’s tell everyone!” Kunj said excitedly, looking for his phone. Twinkle stopped him by holding his hand. “Everyone is probably sleeping Mr. Sarna. It was a long day, you see?” She reminded him, even as she herself couldn’t stop thinking how they all would react. Kunj nodded in agreement, bent and picked her up in his arms, making her squeal as always. As he slowly lowered her on the bed, he asked, “Am I the only one who knows then?” Twinkle laughed as she saw his eyes bright with excitement. “Rahul knows.” She stated, and watched Kunj’s face begin to show clear signs of being annoyed. She held out her hands towards him, and scooted, making space for him to sit beside her. “Such a baby you are, Kunj!” She said, as he took her hands, still making puppy faces. He then sat beside her and put him arms around her, and sighed. “I’m sorry I’m so stupid about this!” He said slowly. “It’s our baby! I wanted to be the first one to know!” He explained, and stopped when he saw Twinkle watching him with a stifled laugh. “What?” He asked, narrowing his eyes at her. “Now I know where Simmi gets most of her drama, and her possessiveness from!” She said, pulling his cheek. He giggled with her, and replied, “So? We have the best of the world for ourselves! It’s obvious that we would be overtly possessive! It’s also because we love you, so much!” Twinkle couldn’t take it anymore. She hugged him tight, and he gently patted her back, knowing that she needed a little more assurance than usual in such circumstances.
Kunj made Twinkle lie down properly and covered her with the duvet once she had been able to control her emotions. He then lay beside her, his head propped up on his elbow, as he gently ran his caressed her head. She was watching him intently, smiling to herself occasionally. When he leaned and kissed her cheek, she held him close, and whispered, “I love you Kunj! There’s nothing else in the world that I can ask for now. You made all of my dreams come true. Just knowing that I can always come running into your arms gives me the courage to be all that I am, and will ever be. So, Mr. Sarna, it’s you who completes me, and complements me.” She then placed feathery kisses on his cheek. He turned out the light, lied down close to her and offered her his arm, which was the only pillow that she ever used, and she accepted it immediately. She snuggled closer to him, kissing his neck, when he suddenly said, “Mrs. Sarna, look at what you’re teaching my baby!” Even in the darkness, he could see how annoyed she was as she turned around, facing away from him, her head still on his arm. He knew exactly how to convince her though. He had been doing it with expertise all these years after all. He began tickling her, to which she initially resented, but soon the room was filled with her laughter. When she finally turned back to him, he whispered a ‘Sorry’ and winked at her. She rushed back into his waiting arms, and was welcomed with a loving kiss.
“Kunj?” Twinkle called out a long time later, as he was placing gentle kisses on her hand that he held in his free one. “Yes?” He asked, letting go of her hand and cupping her face. “Do you want a baby girl or a baby boy?” She asked seriously. He let go of her face and placed his hand on her tummy. “I love this one. I don’t care which one it is. It’s ours!” He replied, and then added as an afterthought, “Maybe it’ll be a boy, so that Simmi can have someone to protect her all the time.” Twinkle watched him quietly, knowing he wasn’t done yet. “Or maybe it’ll be a girl, someone Simmi can share her secrets with when Pari isn’t around.” Twinkle looked at him adoringly, she loved how considerate he always was. “So you’ll tell Simmi that she’s going to have a younger sibling, right?” She asked innocently. “Oh really?” Kunj responded with a smirk, while she nodded with a giggle. “We’ll see” He said as he pulled her closer to him.
That’s it for now, guys. Please tell me what you thought about it. It matters a lot, especially for this episode. Until next time,
