Sudha's words didn't set well with Avantika.She kept thinking that how Sudha was trying to rub it in Twinkle's face that Kunj was in so much love with Tara.She knew that Tara was Kunj's first love but their love story was nothing great as claimed by Infact,it was just too plain to even explain.
Kunj met Tara in a dinner party and they instantly began to date each Avantika considered it to be just another one of flings that Kunj had at that time but months later ,he gave his parents their life's biggest news ever,that Tara was pregnant with his child.
At first they thought Tara was trying to trap Kunj with someone else's child as his own to extort his money but later they came to know that she came from a well to do family and that can't be the reason.They soon realised that they were really in love with each other and that was really Kunj's child.
Avantika was reluctant about their wedding but her late husband convinced her for the sake of their son's happiness and they got married within a month.Nine months later Ansh was born and five months from that ,Tara was dead from the accident.
Avantika couldn't deny that she had seen their happy days together but it was anything extraordinary or out of the world . Being a dedicated father and a loving husband,Kunj tried to provide Tara and Ansh with everything they needed but there were times when Tara behaved childidhly and argued with Kunj for no reason.He many times shared with his mom about Tara being not being understanding with him.She wasn't a bad woman or something but Avantika felt that she was insensible and immature at times.
Twinkle and Kunj's relationship was totally different when compared to Kunj and Tara's.His previous relationship was nothing but a young reckless love, whereas Twinkle and Kunj's relation was rooted deeply with trust and understanding for one Avantika could see her son, falling slowly but deeply in love with Twinkle.She wanted him to realise it on his own and express his feelings to Twinkle soon but Natasha and Sudha sticking around the whole time,she doubted it would ever happen.
She decided to talk to Kunj about what was happening in the house in his absence and him to meet her once after the dinner.Half an hour later she heard a knock.
A-Come in ,Kunj
K-Mom,you wanted to see me
A-Yes, come here
She tapped the spot on the bed
A-So , how's Ansh now.
K-He is better after coming home but he wants his mumma all the time to be next to him.
He said smiling without his own knowledge and Avantika didn't miss to observe it.
Her own lips curved into a smile and she nodded .
A- Sometimes I myself can't believe the bond between those two.No one would believe that she isn't his birth mother.
K-Yesh, that's because Twinkle is an amazing woman.
A(firmly)- I am glad that you have finally realised it.
She then brought some politeness in her tone to remind him of the moments he argued with her about Twinkle.
K(guilty)- I am sorry, mom.I have regretted it so many times for taking like that about Twinkle before knowing her.
A(proudly)- That's okay, atleast now you have understood how kind hearted my Twinkle is.
So,what have you ever done for this amazing woman?
K-What do you mean,mom?
A-I mean, she does almost everything for you guys, which any other woman would have hesitated to do.She is ready to sacrifice everything for the sake of the child who is not even hers,but have you ever tried to return her favours in any way?
Kunj stayed silent trying to process his mother's words.He didn't need his mother to remind him about it since it was something that he always felt guilty that. Twinkle was doing so much for them and he could do nothing for her.
A- Let's leave aside the favours part.Do you atleast have an idea of what is going on with her in the house?
K-What are you talking about,mom?What is going on with her?
He had no clue of what his mom was saying.
A-Your ex mother in law,I heard her filling nonsense in Twinkle's ear this afternoon.You should have seen the pain on Twinkle's face at that moment.Belive me ,no woman would want to hear such things about her husband and his previous love.
Kunj didn't have to ponder much about what Sudha could have possibly told Twinkle.He was much aware about how her brain worked and felt remorse for bringing her into his house.
A-You should have never agreed to staying them here,Kunj.You know how badly Twinkle was treated by her parents her whole life. Now I don't want the same thing happening with her in this house also ,Kunj. I am warning you letting them stay here would bring unnecessary trouble for you and Twinkle.
K-Mom,I didn't expect these things to happen when they asked me to let them stay here for some days.I thought they wanted to be a part of Ansh's life and how could I have just refused them?They are Tara's family.
A-Kunj,you should understand that Tara is your past while Twinkle is your present and future.They may be staying here just for a week but have thought of what all could go wrong in this one week's time.I don't see any point of Sudha staying here when Ansh has got his mom and dad to look after him.And why is Natasha staying here,by the way?
K(hoarsely)-I don't know.
A(commanding)-Either you tell them to leave or i will be compelled to tell them in my own crude ways.The choice is yours.
K-Mom, don't do anything like that.I promise to talk to them tomorrow.
A-You better be because I don't want to see my daughter getting hurt in any way by them.
At night Kunj and Twinkle were lying down on the couch and she was sleeping on his chest after their moment of passion.He was wide awake and kept caressing her hairs.
He thought a lot about what his mom said earlier.He decided to talk to Sudha but he was very reluctant about it.She was Ansh's nani and it was totally understandable if she wanted to be a part of Ansh's life but he also knew it wasn't fair to make Twinkle suffer for it.
Next morning , Kunj came out of their room and found Twinkle in the kitchen.She was facing her back towards him.Last night's passionate love making flashed in his mind , making him walk like a cat behind her.
'Ahhh', Twinkle shrieked when out of nowhere she found two arms snaking around her waist.'You scared me ',she placed her hand on her chest to control her heartbeat.
K-Why are you here and not in my bed?
He removed her hair from the nape of her neck and smiled proudly on seeing the love bites that he had left there.He nibbled on each one of them gently.
Twinkle felt shudder radiating from those spots but tried to keep herself composed.She knew where it would lead to if she gave in.
T-Kunjjj
She moaned when she couldn't take it anymore."We are in the kitchen".
She reminded him
K-So?
He asked without stopping what he was doing.
T(Stammering)- So..me..one.. might... see us like this...
The previous chilly temperature around them was rising high.
K-I don't care.
He brushed his lips against her hot skin.
Twinkle failed miserably trying to stop him because her body was violently reacting to his touches.
He turned her slowly to face him and cupped her cheeks to take her lips but interrupted when they heard someone's door being pulled open.
They pulled away and Twinkle laughed when she heard him swear in frustration.
He moved away to create a safe distance between them.
'Good morning,Kunj'!! It Was Natasha.
Her hair were sticking out in all direction and she looked miserable without her makeup.
She totally ignored Twinkle who turned back to make her coffee .
Morning!!
Twinkle handed him his cup of coffee and he went out of kitchen, towards the living room grabbing a newspaper from the table.
N-Kunj, are you free today?
He followed him and sat next to him.
K-Why do you ask?
He asked without taking his eyes from the newspaper.
N-Can you drop me ar the mall?I agreed to went out with my friends ..but my car wouldn't be back from the service station for another two days.
That make him wonder why Twinkle
never went out with her friends.He remembered Tara also going on frequent outings and shopping with her friends.
N-So ,can you drop me?
She asked once again
K-I am a little busy today.I can ask my driver to take you wherever you want to.
He folded the paper and got up to leave the place.He heard her sigh in annoyance.
â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â
Later in the evening, Alisha came to hand over the class notes to Twinkle
and she led her friend into her room quickly.
'Lisa' ,Ansh called her excitedly as soon as he saw her entering the room.
A-Thats right, cutiepie.How are you doing now?
She noticed that he had began to run around with the sling on his arm.
T-He is getting used to doing things with it .
Twinkle answered for him when he went back to playing with his ball.
A- That's good indication that his pain is decreasing.
T-Hmm yeah...So how's everything going on between you and Yuvraj ?
A-I am going out with him this weekend.
T- That's great! Does that mean you both are dating each other officially?
A- Something like that.Sbe tried to hide her blush.
'Lisa catch,' Ansh passed the ball at her and she passed it back to him.
Twinkle was happy that Ansh was becoming comfortable with her friend .She wondered why he was not like this with Natasha and Sudha.
A-Where is that bitch? She mouthed the last word so that Ansh doesn't hear her. Didn't see her around the house?
T-She has gone out for shopping?
A-Why is she here again?
T-To take care of Ansh.
A-Yeah she is doing a great job at taking care of Ansh.She shook her head
T-Lets not spoil our mood by talking about her.
Twinkle changed the topic as they chatted for a while about college, studies and UV.
'Babe,I am bac..', Kunj announced too happily opening the door of their room but stopped when his eyes fell upon Alisha sitting beside Twinkle.
K-Hey Alisha.
He greeted her with a smile
A-Hi jiju.I think i should go now.
She said with a smirk and stood up.
K-Alisha , don't. Alisha stopped and sat back. Twinkle hardly spends time with her friends .So please stay here while me and my little man will watch a movie.
He bent down to carry Ansh out of room.
A-Wow,he must love you a lot.She remarked dreamily.
T-I wish. She sighed involuntarily still ogling his well sculpted back.
A-What did you say?
T-Hmm nothing.Now show me the notes.
She began to turn through the pages.
â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â
Kunj and Ansh were watching an animated movie when Natasha from shopping holding a dozen bags in her hands.
N-Hey guys
Ansh looked at her but soon turned back to screen. Kunj didn't like the way she threw the bags on the couch and then slumped next to his son.
She looked around and felt relieved when she didn't found Twinkle anywhere around the house.
K-Dada will get his phone and be back buddy.You keep watching.
Kunj left Ansh with Natasha. She decided to take this opportunity to bond with Ansh.
N-What are you watching,baby boy?
A-Carz..
He squealed stretching his hand towards the screen.
N-Wow,can I watch with you?She cooed near his near.
A-Yeah.
He nodded expressionlessly
N-Do you want to sit on my lap?
A-No.
He shook his head to refuse
N-Would you like to see something?
She turned around and grabbed her handbag. She pulled out her brand new phone and waved in front of Ansh.The colorful video playing on it's screen instantly grabbed his attention and he stood up on couch anxiously to watch it.
N-Come on sit on my lap, let's watch it together.She was hell bent on showing Kunj that she could be as caring as Twinkle.
A-No.
He denied with his attention fixed on screen. He clapped his hands and laughed at funny cartoon video that was playing on her phone.
N-Come on,baby.
She pulled on his arm but he shoved her hands away roughly making her Natasha waa losing her patience.All she was asking from Ansh was to settle down on her lap for a few minutes.He was so attached to Twinkle,whowasn't even blood related to him but he was being so stubborn with his own Massi, his mother's only sister. Didn't she remind him of his mother?She meant his real mother.
He extended his hands to grab the phone but she only took it away from him.
N-Ah huh.. I won't give it to you if you will not listen to me.
Once again she brought it in front of him and shook it.'Do you want my phone?'
A-Phone.He stretched his hand in front of her.
N-How about a kiss for Nats Massi.
She tapped her finger on her cheek. Ansh hesitated but dropped a quick kiss, hoping that she would give him phone now.
N-Good.She brought the phone near him but didn't handover it to him when he asked.
When he got engrossed in the video too much she gently pulled him near her.He was too fascinated by the video that he didn't mind her pulling him on her lap.
Natasha was successful in making him sit on his lap and smiled victoriously when he grabbed the phone from her and watched it silently.She wound her arms around his small body and placed a kiss on his cheek. Ansh suddenly realised where he was seated when he felt her kiss on his cheek,he suddenly push the phone away and it landed on the tiled floor with a crashing sound.She almost threw him and bend down to pick her ruined phone.
She shouted so loud that everyone came in the hall
N-Oh my god! Ansh, you bad boy...
The first thing everyone got to see when they living room was Natasha's palm landing harshly on Ansh's small cheek making it red like hot iron.
Twinkle gasped loudly and soon the room was filled with Ansh's loud wails.By the time Natasha realised what she had done, Twinkle was standing in front of her and slapped her so hard making her wince in pain.
N-What the fuck?
She exclaimed
T(angrily)- How dare you slap my son?
Her chest was heaving up and down in anger.She looked like a lioness trying to save her cub.
N(screaming)- He broke my new phone.
T-And you slapped him for that.
Twinkle's voice echoed throughout the whole room. 'What is wrong with you?How can you hit a child, not to mention when he is already injured?
Everyone was stunned by her sudden
outburst.No one ever thought Twinkle could show so much anger on someone. Even Alisha was shocked on seeing Twinkle shout on someone for the very first time in her life.She had seen her parents and siblings abusing her but she always remained calm and unreactive everytime.
N(screamed)-How dare you to raise your filthy hands on me? What do you think you are? Just because Ansh calls you Mamma, doesn't mean you are his real mother.
She approached Kunj who was standing there gritting his teeth and clutching his fist.
N-Kunj,Ansh was being very naughty. She had totally spoilt him and I was trying to discipline him.
She tried to justify her actions.
K-That is not how we discipline a child in this house, Natasha and who are you to discipline him?Huh?
He was fuming too but he had to compose himself.
N-But Kunj, I am his..
K-Yes you are his Massi but that doesn't give you rights to hit him.You are clearly not fit to take care of a child.He ran his fingers through his hairs and closed his eyes for sometime.'Look we will take care of our son.We don't need anyone to care of him.So,it would be better if you guys go home.'
He turned towards Sudha whose eyes were as wide as saucers.
N-Kunj,I will go home but what did mom do?Let her stay here for some more time ,she begged.
K-No Natasha,as I told you we don't need anyone's help.We better off without you guys.
He wanted to tell them without hurting them but after Natasha slapped his son,there was no reason for it.They just made his job much easier.
K-You are Tara's family and I still respect you both but please don't make me lose my patience.So please leave.
He turned towards to look at his son who was still sobbing and Avantika was trying to stop him from sobbing.His cold has just resided and she didn't want him to catch it once again.
A-Nats Massi ,bad..bad...He kept crying
Av-Bas beta,stop crying now.
She was happy that Twinkle had finally given Natasha what she deserved but she wasn't fully satisfied with that one slap.She expected his son to give her one more but being a gentleman,she knew he was incapable of hurting a woman.She was thankful atleast he was asking them to leave.
The mother daughter duo could say or do anything except moving away from the place silently.
Ansh had stopped crying when they left the living room to pack their stuff
but as soon as he felt Twinkle's hands on him, he started to weep again.
T-Shh.She carried him and rocked him in her arms until she could no more hear his sobs.
T-"I am sorry for that Kunj but I couldn't control myself when I saw her hitting Ansh".
She apologized when they both were on their bed.She acted on impulse but she was worried about what might Kunj say about her slapping Natasha.
K-You don't have to apologise Twinkle.I am happy you reacted that way.You did what,I couldn't.So no, worries, Jaan.He kissed on her head.
T-But she is Tara's sister.She lifted her head from his shoulder to look at him.
He smiled at her pressing his lips together.
K-Tara would have done the same if she loved Ansh more than her sister.
Don't think too much about it and sleep baby.
Twinkle nodded feeling slightly relieved before closing her eyes.
Hope you liked it guys
So sorry for late update,hope you all missed með
