"Kunj hum ghar ki taraf kyu jaa rahe hai..."
"Tumhe drop karne... fir mein office jaunga"
"What... Kunj mein bhi office aa rhi hu"
"Kyu Twinkle..."
"Kyu ka kya matlab ... kunj... mein vaha job karti hu.. aur vaha bohot kuch pending pada hai.."
"Vo sab mein cover up kar lunga...na"
"Nahi.. Mr Sarna..
Kunj tum muje office se dur kyu rakh rahe ho..."
"Aisi koi baat nahi hai Twinkle"
"Toa.. kya baat hai.. Kunj.. dekho.. mein khud aaj gayi thi office.. bohot kuch cover ho gaya hai mera kaam par.. bohot baaki bhi hai.. aur tum kab tak.. dusro ko overtime kane ko kahoge for my behalf.. I m your wife iska matlab ye nhi ki.. muje itni liberty mil jaye..."
"Twinkle... aisa..."
"Nhi Kunj.. meri baat suno tum.. tumhari saari baate manti hu.. mein janti hu.. ki.. office mein problems chal rahi hai.. isliye tum muje vaha nahi le jaa rahe .. tum family se chupa rahe ho.. jo losses ho rahe hai.. but mujse bhi "
He looked guilty
"Mene dekhi files aaj... Kunj muje apne sath rakho is problem ko face karne mein.. I m your wife... muje nahi bataoge toa kise bataoge.. aur mein vaha aake tmhari help hi karungi na... tumhare kaam badha thodi dungi..."
"I know Twinkle..." Kunj said it looking on the road...
She looked away... out of the window.. as he took a u turn...
"Acha baba ... sorrie... meine gaadi turn bhi kar di... dekho.."
"Kunj.. kal toa tum.. bohot bol rhe the.. ki ye shaadi karne ka faisla.. sahi tha.. kitna kuch kaha tha ..." as she stopped coz she dint know whther he remembered anything or not...
"Kya..
Kya kaha tha mene..?" Kunj curious now..
"Kuch nhi...mein bas yahi keh rhi hu ki tum ab bhi puri tarah se muje apni biwi nahi mante...isliye toa apni problems share nhi krte"
"Aisi baat nahi hai...Twinkle"
He dint remember the night clearly he.. knew he had talked a lot .. but not.. exactly what.. and then he.. was alerted as he remembered his warning to her.. about the red saree and him in bhaang effect...
"Twinkle vo..."
She looked towards him raising her eyebrows...
"Kal raat... ko kya.. hua tha.. I mean.. mene kuch.. Mera matlab ki.. tum vo red saree mein.. thi toa.."
She.. knew what he was trying to say.. and it came back to haunt her heart.. as it raced.. on the memories of his kisses and his touch on her waist.. his command over her body.. and his line lingered on her mind..
'Mene kaha ki koi limits cross nahi karunga.. iska matlab ye nahi ki kuch bhi nahi karunga...'
She just got a bit red but managed to raise her eyebrows..
"Mein puch rha tha ki.. mene tmhare sath koi.. kuch.. aisa.. vaisa toa..
Hum so gaye the na.. jaldi.."
She hided her smile to look out of the window... she was still upset about how he tried to keep her away from office...
There were a number of meetings lined up...for projects.. but all were new startups as they were loosing old clients.. they dint have an option...
Twinkle took over few of the briefings to be prepared and some presentations..
They dint notice as the day went by...
Kunj however busy he was saw Twinkle talking with a square face to him.. and not looking him in the eye...
'Ab kya karu. Is ladki ka... office toa le aya fir kyu gussa hai...'
As it was evening he saw her holding her head and reading something... it would take time for her to get back to this routine again and she surely was having a head-ache but not as much as him... god.. this bhang was taking a toll over him...
She heard her intercom ring
"Mrs Sarna... could you plz come in my office..."she looked over the glass cabin.. as he placed the receiver and was engrossed in something...
She walked in to only find the chair empty she looked towards his right and heard the coffee machine...bing
"Kunj tumne muje bulaya..."
"Kunj nhi.. Mr Sarna.. aur. Mr Sarna.. Mrs Sarna k saath coffee peena chahte hai.."
She had butterflies... seeing the way he spoke Mr and Mrs... it felt so tuggy in her heart... but she managed to have an expressionless face...and while walking out... "kunj muje bohot kaam hai.. badme.."
"Its an Order..."
She stopped and looked at him..'order..
She dint pay any heed... and continued walking.. he
Grabbed her arm and pulled her...locking it behind her waist.. and pulled her.. frame near his chest...and the marathon of her heart began...
"Twinkle.. I m sorry.. mein bas.. tumko tension se dur rakhna chahta tha.. tumhare dad k bare mein sab pata chala tha.. toa tmko aur stress kaise deta.." she understood his plea... he had a valid reason..
"Aur aaj k baad aisa kabhi mat sochna ki.. mein.. tmko apni biwi nahi manta.."
It was a firm yet an assuring voice.. she knew she too held importance for him.. but it was necessary for her.. to make him understand that he can share anything and everything with her.. and there should not be any bhang effect becoming a reason for him opening up... and her heart reasoned... he was still begining to trust you Twinkle.. he has ben through so much.. Its hard.. try to stand in his place and.. think.. and she again admired.. him for being such an amazing person... '""she would go crazy if she was an orphan or.. would have to grow without parents... and here not only he did manage to shape his life.. but he dint lost track.. inspite being no one to guide him'''''
"I m sorry.. Kunj.. mene kuch zyda over react kar diya... muje samajna chahiye tha..."and she realised.. in what position they were... most of the office had left.. but still some 1 could see them...
"Kunj. Chodo.. muje.. kya kar rhe ho koi dekh lega.. muje kaaam hai bohot"
"Toa dekhne do... tum Biwi ho meri.. hak banta hai.. jinko sharam aye vo khud apni ankhe band kar sakte hai... aur mein tab tak nahi chodunga jab tak tum... mere sath coffee nahi piti"
"Okay.. baba.. plz ab toa chod do"
He left her.. she held her breath... and he placed two mugs on the table.. and when she was about to sit... he lifted her through waist and made her sit on the table.. and he himself sat on the chair.. right next to it...Twinkle looked confused.. and surprised.. why did he make her sit on the table.. and she shunned away the sumersaults her stomach made as he touched her waist... as now she needed to get used to him touching her intimaty...
"Kunj aise kyu bithaya mujko.. mein koi choti bachi thodi hu" she spoke while sipping coffee...
"Aise hi man kiya" he shrugged his shoulders...even he dint know why he did that...confused with himself..
After dinner... they were in their room...
Twinkle was watching some daily soap.. he closed his laptop with a bit of frustration coz of the piercing pain in his head...but he knew it.. bhang has this effect on every one.. even though people gain senses but side efects remain for a while...
She noticed him... as he held his head...and knew.. what was to be done...
She walked up and.. opened the dresser.. removing something...
She stood near the couch...gesturing him to sit down...
"Kyaa bol rhi ho?"
"Mene kaha niche baitho..."
"Twinkle... ab tu aise torture karegi muje.. apne pati ko... shaadi k pehle din.. muje bed se nikal diya.. ab mein couch pe baitha hu.. toa yaha se bhi muje zamin pe bhej rahi ho... Mahadev Bachao muje...''
"First of all... Kunj Sarna.. mere kehne pe nhi tum khud nikal gaye the bed se.. pehli raat ko... aur.. tum bed pe hi toa sote ho roz... aur kal toa meri side...pe.."
She stopped... as she realised she was again mentioning last night.. and his patience ws breaking what the hell happened.. last night...
He raised his eyebrows...
"Kuch .. nhi me keh rhi thi ki.. Mahadev nahi aane vale tumkobachane... tumhari biwi bachayegi tumhe is sar dard se..." she spoke showing him the oil... in her hand...
He sat down...
And she began her magic... god was she some kind of professional or did she do some parlour course...she knew exactly the points and nerves to calm...he just smiled closing his eyes.. feeeling her fingers doing the magic..
She had never touched his hair... and she cursd herself for not taking this opportunity before...it had been so many days post their marriage and she was devoid of this..soft hairs oglf her husband...
She thought his lips were the softest... but she was wrong... his hair.. were..too silky.. though they looked black naturally she had noticed brownish shade in sunlight...'kitne ache
Baal hai Kunj k... pehle kabhi kyu nahi notice kiya.. mene...'
as he felt a bit relieved.. from pain.. he asked..
"Twinkle vaise kal raat ko hua kya. ..tha.. muje thik se yad nahi.. Mene tumse car mein bhi pucha but tumne bataya nahi"
Twinkle stopped for a moment and again began... thinking what to tell him...
"Kya hua.. tha batao.. Twinkle.."
She opened her mouth... to speak but.. was interrupted by a knock
As they opened the door...
"Kya hua palash chacha..."
"Vo.. Twinkle Babyji vo.. Leelaji aye hai.."
"Maa.." she walked out of the room...with Kunj downstairs...
"Kya huA maa?"ap raat ko yaha...
"Vo muje Kunj se baat karni thi..."leela spoke
"Ji Maa" Kunj spoke...
"Akele mein" Leela spoke looking over her daughter...
