The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow in the room. Twinkle stirred awake, stretching and glancing around. The events of the previous night played back in her mind, and she smiled to herself.

As she turned to the side, she found Kunj still asleep, his tousled hair falling across his forehead. She couldn't help but admire him for a moment. Suddenly, a mischievous thought crossed her mind.

"Hmm, time for a little fun," she whispered to herself.

A Playful Wake-Up Call

With a grin, Twinkle gently poked Kunj's shoulder. "Kunj! Utho, shaam ho gayi hai!" she teased, using a playful tone.

Kunj groaned, burying his face deeper into the pillow. "Five more minutes, please..."

"Arre, aaj koi late breakfast nahi hai! Tumhe abhi uthna hoga!" she insisted, shaking him a bit more.

Finally, Kunj cracked one eye open, looking at her with mock annoyance. "Tumhe toh shuru se samajh aata tha na? Main subah ka aadmi nahi hoon," he grumbled.

Twinkle laughed, "Wahi toh, par aaj tumhare paas koi option nahi hai. Tumhare parathe ka waqt ho gaya hai!"

"Parathe?" Kunj's eyes widened. "Acha, tumne banaye hain? Chalo, ab uthna padega!"

In the Kitchen Again

They hurried to the kitchen, and Twinkle took charge, while Kunj stood back, watching her with a smile.

"Tum toh bahut serious ho gayi ho cooking mein," Kunj commented, leaning against the counter.

"Seriously, Kunj! Tumhare liye khana bana raha hoon," she replied, focusing on the stove.

"Main toh yeh soch raha tha, ki tumhare haath se bana khana kaisa hoga. Par tumhara pichla paratha toh perfect tha!" Kunj encouraged her, a hint of admiration in his voice.

Twinkle turned to him with a smirk. "Acha, toh tumhe pasand aaya? Ab main thoda aur effort karungi!"

Kunj chuckled, "Haan, aur mujhe tumhare cooking skills par full faith hai."

Breakfast Bonding

After a little chaos in the kitchen, they managed to prepare a delicious breakfast. As they sat down to eat, the atmosphere was filled with warmth and laughter.

"Parathe toh accha ban gaye, lekin chai ki kami mehsoos ho rahi hai," Kunj said, looking at her expectantly.

"Chai? Abhi toh main ek chef ban rahi hoon. Agli baar chai bhi banaoongi," Twinkle replied playfully.

"Okay, main wait karunga," he said with a wink, taking another bite of the paratha.

A New Routine

As the days passed, Twinkle and Kunj settled into a comfortable routine. Each morning began with playful banter over breakfast, and they found joy in their small moments together.

One evening, as they returned from a walk in the park, Kunj turned to Twinkle with a serious expression. "Tumhe pata hai, tumhare saath waqt guzarne mein mujhe maza aata hai."

"Really? Mujhe bhi!" Twinkle said, her heart fluttering. "Yeh toh bas shuruat hai. Aur kya kya hone wala hai, mujhe nahi pata."

Kunj smiled, "Mujhe bhi nahi pata, lekin tumhare saath har pal interesting hai."

"Interesting hai? Ya sirf mazak hai?" she asked, teasing him again.

"Maazaak toh hamesha rahega. Lekin tumhare saath serious discussions bhi zaroori hain," Kunj said, trying to sound wise.

"Accha? Toh aaj ki serious discussion kya hai?" Twinkle asked, playing along.

"Yeh hai ki hum dono ko ek dusre ki pasand aur nafrat ke bare mein pata karna chahiye," Kunj suggested.

"Wah! Yeh toh serious hai!" she laughed. "Theek hai, pehle tum batana, tumhe kya pasand hai."

"Main toh parathe aur cricket dono pasand karta hoon," Kunj replied with a cheeky grin.

"Cricket? Toh tumhara toh asli mazak ab shuru hoga!" Twinkle teased, imagining Kunj playing cricket.

The Cricket Challenge

Days later, Kunj invited Twinkle to watch him play cricket with his friends. Twinkle was both excited and nervous.

"Tumhe pata hai, mujhe cricket nahi aata," she confessed.

"Wahi toh mazaa aata hai! Tumhe toh dekhne ka experience milna chahiye," Kunj assured her, beaming with enthusiasm.

At the cricket ground, Kunj was in his element, running and batting with energy. Twinkle watched in awe as he displayed his skills, and she couldn't help but cheer for him.

"Go, Kunj! Hit it out of the park!" she shouted, waving her arms.

After a thrilling match, Kunj came over, panting but grinning. "Kaisa laga, meri performance?"

"Awesome! Lekin mujhe nahi pata tha tum itne talented ho," she said, teasing him again.

"Talent ki baatein baad mein karenge. Pehle tumhe batana padega, tumhara kya talent hai," Kunj replied, his tone serious yet playful.

Twinkle thought for a moment. "Mera talent? Main parathe bana sakti hoon!"

"Bas parathe? Tumhe toh aur bhi talent dikhana padega," Kunj replied, nudging her playfully.

A Growing Connection

As their days together unfolded, Twinkle and Kunj discovered new layers to their relationship. The playful fights turned into moments of genuine affection, and every shared laugh brought them closer.

One evening, as they sat together on the balcony, gazing at the stars, Kunj turned to Twinkle. "Tumhe pata hai, yeh moments mere liye kitne special hain?"

Twinkle's heart skipped a beat. "Mujhe bhi! Yeh toh sirf shuruat hai, na?"

Kunj smiled softly. "Bilkul. Humara safar abhi shuru hua hai, aur mujhe is journey ka intezaar hai."
