Twinkle's eyes slowly fluttered open after a couple of hours. She looked around the room and realized that she was in a hospital room. Her eyes widened when she saw Nisha sitting on the chair beside her.

N- She's up.
Natasha got up to her feet and moved closer to the bed, followed by Avantika and Kunj.
N-My baby is going to have a baby.
She kissed her forehead.

Twinkle tried to remember what had happened that brought her here. She sat up leaning her back against the headboard.

A- Twinkle beta, you made us all so happy with the good news.
Avantika beamed a huge smile at her before hugging her and kissing her forehead gently.
'Kunj, we will be outside.Call us if you need something,okay?'

She patted his arm and left the room with her friend.

Twinkle kept her eyes down on her fidgeting fingers to avoid looking at Kunj because she was sure that she would cry if her eyes meet his.

K-Twinkle....You have no idea how happy I am right now.
He descended down and captured her lips in a soft kiss. His hand crept to surround her waist,pulling her to himself. He gradually deepend the kiss, letting out a throaty moan. She feels so soft under his rough and calloused hands. His lips pulled away only to kiss along her jawline and down to her throat. If they weren't in a hospital and if not for Twinkle's delicate condition, he would have devoured her then and there.

For a second, Twinkle melted into his hold.They were kissing like this after so long and she didn't want him to stop but then her mind travelled back to the conversation between Kunj and Natasha. She stiffened under his touch and felt a hard stab through her heart. She pushed him away creating a small gab between them.

Kunj was taken a back but heard Twinkle murmur, I'm tired,Kunj.

K- Oops sorry jaan. He grinned sheepishly scratching the back of his head , 'It's just that I missed you so much and you are looking irresistible.
He spoke huskily.'

Twinkle tried to remain unaffected by his seductive tone but in reality, her insides were turning into delicious knots.

T-When can I leave?
She asked averting her gaze from Kunj.

K- We can leave now. We were just waiting for you to wake up. He helped her up from the bed and then out of room. Kunj had settled the hospital bills while Twinkle was asleep so he directed her towards the parking lot
to drive them all back home.

Avantika and Nisha kept talking joyfully about the baby. Kunj was very happy and kept laughing occasionally to their conversation while Twinkle kept quiet throughout the drive.

He reached out to hold her hand when he noticed her being extremely silent.

K(concerendly)-What's wrong baby? Are you not feeling well?

She looked down at his hand which was making soothing circles on hers.

T-I am fine.
She turned her stare at the calming darkness outside.

Kunj felt being ignored by her but he didn't find any reason for her to do so.
May be she's just too anxious about this news.
Twinkle is too young,still in college and probably she isn't prepared for a baby so soon. He tried to rationalize his doubts.

Reaching home, Avantika and Nisha began to prepare dinner for everyone.
They seemed highly excited and kept talking about each other, laughing and giggling like young girls. Twinkle went straight to the bedroom and Kunj follwed her quietly. He closed the door behind them and hurriedly hugged her from behind, showering loving kisses on her shoulder, 'I missed this '. He turned her so that she could face him and cupped her face, 'I missed you so much baby'.

He showered feather soft kisses on her forehead,on her eyes,on her cheeks and on the tip of her nose.
Twinkle didn't dare to move and kept her hands to her sides. When he was about to pull the ring box from his pocket ,he felt a soft push from Twinkle.

With concern Kunj looked at her again.He observed a cringe on jer beautiful face.
K- What's wrong,jaan? He tried to ask again.

T-I want to sleep.
She said looking at the floor.

He felt dejected but he knew she was tired and he could wait till the next morning to convey his love for Twinkle. He pushed the tiny soft box back into his pocket before she could see it.

He smiled and nodded
K-Okay, let's get you to the bed.

She was startled when Kunj carried her in his arms in bridal style towards their bed.

K-Sleep jaan, I'll get you something to eat. He dropped a chaste kiss on her forehead and walked out of the room.

As soon as the door closed, Twinkle let out a muffled whimper. She had never felt so wounded in her life before, not even when her parents treated her badly. She clearly heard their conversation and Kunj was ready to let her go for the sake of Ansh. Then why did he have to be so sweet to her now? It hurt her to think that Kunj was pretending to be caring towards her,when actually he was going to ask her to leave anytime soon.

She was wide awake when Kunj came back with a bowl of warm soup. He fed her and Twinkle didn't stop him, though she was silent all the while.

When they were on bed later that night, Kunj pulled her tight against his chest.
K-Hey baby,I know you are nervous about the pregnancy but I am going to be there with you and we will make through it,I promise.

Twinkle was quite confused about what he was saying. She thought he was going to talk to her about bringing Ansh and Natasha back home, for which she might have to leave him forever,then why was he giving her such fake promises which he might never be able to keep up?

Kunj was extremely worn out from the previous night's long travel and fell asleep in a matter of minutes. When Twinkle was sure of it, she got out of the bed and quietly left the room.

She strode into Ansh's nursery and laid on his bed. She wanted to be alone and sort her chaotic thoughts.
Even though he was being sweet to her now, she was sure he would drop the bomb the next day or the day after that.

She loved Kunj so much. He made her feel things that no other man had ever managed to but it was a harsh reality that she would never get to tell him what she felt about him.

She cried a lot that night, until sleep finally took over her inner battles.

The next morning, Kunj stretched his hands over the silk sheets but to his dismay ,the sheets were cold, indicating that Twinkle had gotten up
much earlier. He sat up and looked around the room. The sun had just come up and he wondered what make Twinkle wake up so early.

His lips curved up happily when he saw the small velvet box kept on the bedside table. He grabbed it and put it back into his pocket before going out.
The whole house was engulfed in dead silence. He walked around every corner of the house, looking for Twinkle and finally found her curled on Ansh's bed. He didn't knew why but he felt a slight jab at his heart.

Her perched on the bed beside her. Sensing his presence, she began to stir up.

K-Good morning,jaan. He murmured in a gentle voice.

T-Good morning .
She shifted in a sitting position against the headboard. Slowly, his hands went up and caressed her cheeks.

K-Twinkle,I have something to tell you.
He didn't want to waste another minute as he took her petite form in his strong embrace. Those three words that he was dying to tell her were on the tip of his tongue. He was desperate to tell her that he was madly in love with her. He wanted to put that ring on her finger and claim her as his.

Twinkle's heartbeat began to race uncomfortably that she thought her heart was going to burst. She gulped and looked up with her shaking confidence.

He grabbed her hand and brought to his lips to kiss her slender fingers.
K-Twinkle I never thought there would come a day when I would say this to you. He stopped

This was it, the end of their beautiful relationship that Twinkle could never give a name to.He was going to ask her to leave him forever,she anticipated.

K-After Tara's death,I was broken, devastated and a part of me died with her. I never thought I would be able to stand up from the grief and be normal ever. The pain of losing your loved ones is miserable and I didn't want to go through the same pain yet again.

When my mom asked me to marry a year back, I thought I would never be able to love someone again. I tried to guard my heart by building a large wall around it for the fear of getting hurt but Twinkle, you managed to seep through the walls on my heart. You didn't expect anything in return and kept showing your love and care on me and Ansh. You nursed my wounds and healed my broken heart.
With your endless love and kindness it was impossible for me to not fall in love with you. His hands went up to cup her cheeks. He threw a small smile at her with his gaze intensified before he picked out the ring from the box.

I LOVE YOU, TWINKLE. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. He pulled her into a kiss. Then slowly pushing the delicate ring on her finger before placing a soft kiss on it.

Twinkle was stunned hearing his confession. She stared at him while trying to understand why he was doing this to her. A sudden numbness surged through her heart. Her fret and insecurity began to overpower her senses.

Her anger bubbled up deep inside her veins. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, letting her anger take control.
She wished this was his true feelings for her but she knew it was not. He was just saying it because she was carrying his child.

T- That's enough,Kunj. She almost yelled. Her other hand went to pull out the ring harshly from her finger with all the force in her,she threw it on Kunj that it hit on his face and fell on the floor with a clank.

I didn't think you were such a heartless and cunning person. Her heart was heaving up and down, her cheeks flaring a dangerous red that Kunj had never seen before, her anger
and sorrow overwhelmed her.

K- What do you mean, Twinkle? What did I say so wrong? He blinked, her cold words were like sharp knife stabbing through his heart. He thought she loved him too just like he did.

T-I have been living with you for almost a year now. You never thought of telling this to me before. Then, why now? She demanded furiously.

K-I know I was stupid for not confessing my feelings for you before but believe me, Twinkle I tried to tell you so many times. I was just wasn't brave enough to express my feelings for you. He replied with a shaky breath. This was not how he expected this situation to turn out.

She scoffed at him
T- Just few hours ago you were willing to let me go away from you forever, Kunj. What changed it all of a sudden? Huh?

Kunj's eyes widened for a fraction of seconds but he quickly regained himself. Now he understood why she was so mad at him. She must have heard him talking to Natasha, not knowing his actual motive behind saying something like that.

'Shit', he cursed inwardly.

K-Twinkle,this is all a misunderstanding. What I said to Natasha was....

She smiled painfully.
T- What you said to Natasha was truth
Isn't it?Not this . She finished the sentence on behalf of him.

You were ready to give up on me for bringing back Ansh. I wasn't disappointed with you then. He isn't happy there. His place is here, in this house, with you.
The dam in her eyes broke and tears began to flow freely.

But I didn't expect you to change your decision so soon. Just because you came to know that I am pregnant,you have a change of heart.
She said in a mere whisper but she knew Kunj heard it.
'You are selfish, very selfish.How could you lie me about something like that ?

K-No Twinkle, that's not true. I really love you. I am not saying this just because you are carrying my child.

Suddenly she felt a stabbing pain in her lower abdomen but she masked her pain with a stern face.

T- Admit it Kunj ,you are saying it only because the child growing inside me.
Afterall Ansh isn't your own blood so you are willing to sacrifice him for this baby.Kunj noticed that she winced again, clutching her belly but continued to sleep,"What if I say this baby isn't yours ? Will you still love me? Will you still want to have me around?"

K(shouted)- TWINKLE. Stop this madness right now.

Her chin wobbled as fresh tears made their way down her cheeks. He had no intention to make her cry but somehow he was and it stabbed him on his chest to see her getting hurt because of him.

He wanted to explain everything to her but she was not ready to calm down and listen. He knew it was her hormones speaking,not her and he didn't want to say anything in return that he would regret later.

He sighed running his hand through his hair several times. He knew she was hurt and also in vulnerable condition. He sat near her on the bed to touch her but only felt her hard slap on his hand as she pushed it aside and got up from the bed, holding a deadly expression on her face.

He lost his cool and stood up behind her angrily.
K-What do you want Twinkle?

"Go away",he heard her whisper but when he saw her wobbled, holding her tummy,he became worried.

He immediately rushed to her
K- Twinkle,are you alright?

Twinkle felt warm liquid gushing down her thighs and she knew instantly that her baby was in danger
"Kunj", she panted seeking his support all of a sudden,"We need to go to the hospital". She gritted due to severe pain.

He didn't wait another minute as he rushed her out of the house, calling for his mother.

Avantika was in kitchen when she heard her son's desperate calls. She ran behind him towards their car. Kunj placed her on the back seat so that her head rested on Avantika's lap.
Cold chills ran down his spine when jis eyes caught the attention of the blood in his hands.

K- Mom,she is bleeding. His voice acne out as shivers.

A-Kunj, hurry up please...
Avantika had to shake him a few times to pull him out of his shocked state.

He reached the hospital in minutes and Twinkle was rushed in the emergency ward. His shivers never came to halt even after an hour. By ten in the morning, Alisha and Nisha had reached the hospital.

A little while later, a lady doctor came out of ER. Kunj was slumped on one of the chairs outside ,he immediately got up.
K(anxiously)- Doctor, how's my wife?

D- Thankfully,she is stable now.

K-Thank god. He breathed a sigh of relief.
And what about my baby, doctor?

D-Baby is also fine but Twinkle is....

That's it for today guys

Hope you liked it.
