Hello everyone! Ananya here. Thank you all for your love and appreciation of my stories. It really means a lot to me. Also, I need to make it clear that I have no intention of offending anyone. When I expressed my angst in the previous episode, I realised that some of you didn’t take it well, so in case there’s anyone out there who thinks I was wrong, sincere apologies. Happy reading!
Twinj: When I Fell For You: Season 2 Episode 13
A quick recap: Kunj cooks breakfast for the girls after which they go to see Amaya the baby at the hospital. Simmi seems to like the baby only as long as she doesn’t cry. Twinkle teases Kunj by pretending to be angry and then gives in.
Twinkle and Kunj arrived at the Sarna mansion a little later than they could have wished for, for now, both families had been waiting in the hall for Amaya and the baby, whom Yuvi would be bringing home in just a bit. They now had everyone’s attention, and they wouldn’t be let off without an explanation for where they had disappeared off to right after breakfast without informing anybody. Twinkle still made her attempt though, but was stopped by Usha, who looked at her and Kunj alternatively. Twinkle turned back to look at Kunj, hoping he would have come up with an excuse, but he seemed as helpless as her. “That is making it more suspicious, guys!” Rahul said, and all the eyes turned to him. “Making what suspicious?” Leela asked him, narrowing her eyes. “Whatever they have been hiding from everyone.” He responded, weighing each word carefully, avoiding Twinkle’s glare. “And what would that be?” It was Usha’s turn to interrogate them. Right then, they heard a car’s horn, and quickly gathered at the door to welcome the new born, deciding to catch hold of Twinkle and Kunj later. “Why haven’t you guys told them yet?” Rahul whispered in Twinkle’s ears, to which Kunj responded with “We wanted everyone to be present when we disclosed the news, and also wanted to see a doctor before we told them, I hope you understand.” Twinkle smiled at the boys and went ahead to join Leela and Usha.
Amaya was sitting on the sofa with Yuvi and Pari on either side as Twinkle played with the little baby, when she noticed Kunj eyeing Twinkle lovingly. “What’s up with him? Falling in love all over again?” she whispered in Yuvi’s ears with a hint of mischief in her voice. Yuvi winked at her and called out to Kunj and asked him, “What’s cooking, brother-in-law?” Kunj recognised that tone immediately, and knew it meant he was being trapped in some prank. “Nothing. Nothing at all.” He responded, looking around to realise that everyone was looking at them now. “Of course there is something!” Leela said, and narrated how Twinkle and Kunj had walked in that morning, making Yuvi and Amaya giggle. “Is everything alright, Twinkle?” RT asked her, sounding extremely worried. She nodded with a smile and looked over at Kunj with a glance that he understood meant that they had to speak out now. She didn’t want to worry them anymore. “We have something to tell you all” Kunj began, walking to Twinkle’s side. They smiled at each other and declared, “We are expecting a baby!”, and that was received with cheer and bright smiles, as they all rushed to congratulate them.
“What just happened here?” Simmi asked Pari as she came and sat beside her. She had missed the recent developments as she had been directing the maids on how they should decorate Amaya’s room, for which she had pleaded with Twinkle for hours until she had finally agreed. All the congratulating and hugging happening in front of her had her confused. “Simmi! Did you hear that?” Usha asked her, looking at her confused expressions. “Hear what, Dadi?” She asked, staring at her parents who seemed to her to be the centre of all the celebration. “I don’t want a baby brother or a sister!!!” She screamed on top of her voice when Usha told her she would soon become an elder sister. She glared at everyone as they looked at her, her eyes stopping momentarily at her parents before she stomped off upstairs. Twinkle gave Kunj an understanding look, and he nodded at her before he went chasing after Simmi. “Don’t you worry, Twinkle! She’ll come around.” Yuvi told her as she handed his baby to him. She smiled at him, although she knew that Simmi wouldn’t be easy to convince at all.
When Twinkle entered her and Kunj’s room, she saw Simmi in the middle of their bed, with lots of chocolates around her that probably Kunj had tried to convince her with. She still looked angry though, which meant that Kunj had gone to get something else for her. “Hey!” Twinkle said, her voice almost a whisper, as she sat down beside Simmi, who turned away from her immediately. “Isn’t Mumma your best friend?” She asked, walking around to come in front of Simmi. “Yes. She was, but now she is becoming someone else’s best friend!” Simmi said, sobbing slowly. Twinkle sat down beside her, and pulled her close. “Mumma will always be your best friend, baby! No matter what. I promise!” She said, patting her gently. “And what about that baby that Dadi told me about?” Simmi asked, looking up at her with bright, hopeful eyes. “That baby will be your best friend! It eill play with you, share your secrets, join you in your pranks and also help you convince Mumma and Papa when you need something!” Twinkle said, and smiled to herself as she saw a tiny smile appear on Simmi’s face. “My best friend?” Simmi asked again, now smiling her best. Twinkle nodded quickly and then sad with a sad tone, “Now what will Mumma do? She’ll not have any best friend, no?” She watched with a smile as Simmi thought about it carefully. “I’ll tell Papa to be your best friend, ok? Anyway, even he thinks I am his best friend, so even he will need a new best friend!” Simmi said finally, placing a quick peck on her cheek before turning back to pick a chocolate from the pile. Twinkle really had to appreciate her daughter for her diplomacy, even as she knew that this wouldn’t really be the end of Simmi’s anger in the issue.
Twinkle got up with a relieved sigh to find Kunj, Yuvi and Amaya standing at the door watching them. They made clapping actions with no noise in appreciation for being able to convince Simmi when Twinkle smiled at them, shrugging her shoulders. She took a quick bow, making them laugh. Simmi looked up at them and then at Twinkle before picking up two chocolates and running out of the door. “Who knew that you two would take my advice this seriously, huh?” Amaya told Twinkle as she led Amaya to the couch. Although Twinkle knew exactly what she was hinting at, she pretended to be oblivious, but the teasing continued nevertheless. Kunj had held her in a side hug, while she looked at anywhere but her Bhaiyu and Bhabhi, who appeared to be aiming at making up for all the dues of Twinkle and Kunj teasing them. “I’m really happy for you two!!” Amaya said finally as she and Yuvi hugged them. “We are happy for them too!” came Chinki’s voice as she, Aman and Rahul joined them in a big group hug.
Twinkle and Kunj were given all sorts of advice by all of them before they left. Accordingly, Kunj was making sure she had eaten the fruits that Usha had sent to their room for her, and Leela had called up to remind him about. “That should be enough for today.” Twinkle said after she had eaten just one slice of an apple. Kunj reached for the bowl as soon as she had put it on the bedside table and glared at her. “I don’t like apples!” She exclaimed, making a pout, while Kunj giggled at her. “Very funny!” She retorted, and he quietly picked up another slice and held it in front of her mouth. She shook her head vigorously, but he just looked at her with that patient, caring expression that made her feel butterflies in her tummy. “Fine!” She said, putting her hand up to take the bowl from him, but he held onto it. He nodded at her and fed her himself. She now ate quietly, earning one peck per slice of the remaining apple. When she saw him put away the empty bowl, she excitedly leaned forward to kiss him on the cheek, but he turned right then, leading to a steamy kiss that made the butterflies flutter around restlessly. “That should be enough for today.” Kunj said with a wink, imitating Twinkle, as they parted. “Good night!” She said with a blush, slipping the duvet on top of her head, making him laugh. She lay there quietly until she felt him lie down beside her after turning out the lights and closing the door. She then sneaked close to him and waited for him to hold her in his embrace so that she could fall asleep. He placed a gentle peck on her forehead and whispered “Sweet dreams” only to realise that she had already fallen asleep.
That’s it for now, guys. Lots of love!
