Neil: Okay, let's just sit here for some while.

Mini: But hum yahan se niklenge kaise?

Neil: Abhi toh Mini Madam ko adventure karna tha, ab kya hua?

Mini: 😒

Neil: Mujhe kuch awaaz aa rahi hai. Did you hear that?

Mini: No I didn't but last time Kashmir mein tumhe bahot door se awaaz aayi thi aur humein woh weirdo RV mila tha jiski wajah se hum yahan hain. Ab agar tumhe phir se awaazein aa rahi hain toh let's move from here.

Neil: I think goons are nearby, you're right, let's move from here. Should I lift you up?

Mini: No, not this time. Phir tumhare weight gain wale taunts shuru ho jaayenge.

Neil: 🤭

As she took one step forward,

Mini: Ahhh!

She looked at him but he started walking without looking at her.

Mini (shouting from back): Oh hello! Neil Oberoi!

Neil: Yes?

Mini: What yes?

Neil: Tumne hi toh kaha that you'll manage it.

Mini: How mean of you!

She began walking in anger and lost her balance. He held her and immediately lifted her up in his arms. She just looked at him because whenever they were so close, she remembered nothing but the moment. He looked into her eyes and they both smiled at each other. Without saying a word he started walking deep into the woods. After some time, they sat for a while on some rocks, where he was closely examining her foot.

Mini: Itne dhyan se mat dekho. It's just a sprain, dikhega nahi kuch.

Neil: 😒

Mini: What? Tell me one thing, hum kya karne wale hain aaj raat ko?

Neil: Excuse me! Look Madam, mai ek bahot hi shareef insaan hoon....

Mini: Oh hello! What do you mean?

Neil: I mean exactly what I am saying.

Mini: 🤦🏻‍♀️ Tumse baat karna hi bekaar hai.

Neil: Okay fine, sorry. Rat ke liye koi jagah dekhni padegi. Ab koi hindi film toh chal nahi rahi jisme humein apne aap ek khali ghar mil jaayega. Khud hi kuch prepare karna padega, so chalein?

Mini: Alright.

Neil: Haan, before that....

Mini: What?

He gave a sudden jerk to her foot.

Mini: AHHHHHH! ARE YOU CRAZY NEIL OBEROI? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Neil: 🙉😬

Mini: I won't leave you!!

She stood up and ran after him but he stopped all of a sudden.

Mini: What?

Neil: Gussa vussa baad mein kar lena. Pehle yeh batao, how's your foot now?

And then she realised that he did it for good.

Mini: Tumhare paas dusra option nahi tha?

Neil: Ab mai koi doctor nahi hoon. I'm a chef. Mujhe jo pata tha I tried...

Mini: 🙄

Neil: Ab chalein? Yaa yahin, inn pathharon par sone ka iraada hai?

Mini: Okay fine, let's go.

Lehrati huyi raahein
Khole huye hain baahein
Yeh hum aa gaye hain kahan
Palkon pe gehre halke
Hain reshmi dhundhalke ke
Yeh hum aa gaye hain kahan

After their long, long walk, across the maze kind of paths of the forest, they reached almost at the other end of the forest.

Mini: Mujhe aisa kyun lag raha hai, ki hum Patiala se hi bahar aa gaye?

Woh Dekho Zara Parbaton Pe Ghatayein
Humaari Daastaan Hole Se Sunayein
Suno To Zara Yeh Phoolon Ki Vaadi
Humaari Hi Koi Kahaani Hai Sunaati
Sapnon Ke Is Nagar Mein
Yaadon Ki Rahguzar Mein
Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hain Kahaan

Neil: Possible, because I can see those hills over there, quite far away but visible.

Mini: Oh my God!! Mujhe woh ek ajeeb sa kuch dikh raha hai. I think it's a ruined cottage. Humare kaam ka hoga?

Neil: Ho sakta hai, let's check it out.

They went inside the cottage. The terrace was broken and the whole place was very dirty.

Mini: I guess raat ka kaam toh chal jaayega, agar baarish nahi huyi toh.

Neil: Still, bahot saara kaam karna padega. Tumhe bhookh bhi toh lagi hogi naa, I'll check if something is available.

Jo Raahon Mein Hai Rut Ne Sona Bikhera
Sunehraa Hua Tera Mera Savera
Zamin So Gayi Baraf Ki Chaadron Mein
Bas Ek Aag Si Jalti Hai Do Dilon Mein
Hawayein Sansanayein
Badan Kaanp Jaayein
Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hain Kahaan

She nodded. After sometime, they both prepared everything, be it their beds (neend important hai yaar) or the bonfire. As there were hills nearby, the environment was cool. Neil knew cold weather affected her more. He drew close to her and put his arm across her shoulder. She leaned towards him and he could feel she was shivering. He made her look into his eyes and brought his face a bit closer. He ran his fingers through her hair and due to the warmth of his body and the closeness they both had in that moment, made her feel more comfortable. He smiled at her.

Neil: I realised it now, maine toh tumhe bataya hi nahi that my fiancée is looking more than beautiful today.

As he said this, her lips automatically formed a smile that appeared more like a blush.

Yeh Barsaat Bhi Kab Thame Kaun Jaane
Tumhein Mil Gaye Pyaar Ke Sau Bahaane
Sitaaron Ki Hai Jaise Barat Aayi
Humaare Liyeh Raat Yun Jagmagayi
Sapne Bhi Jhilmilaayein
Dil Mein Diyeh Jalaayein...

And it started raining, due to which, the bonfire extinguished. They stood up.

Mini: Offo!! Itni mushqil se toh jalayi thi.

Neil: So what? Khane ke liye jalayi thi naa, kaam ho gaya.

Mini: 😒

Neil: Baarish se kaun chidta hai?

Mini: Mai chidti hoon. Any problem?

He pulled her closer and put his hand on her waist. He brought his face closer to her ear and whispered

Neil: You know what, rains are a symbol of love.

She smiled a bit. He gave her forehead kiss.

Neil: Congratulations for our engagement, Mini Madam.

Mini: 😏 Same to you Chef Neil Oberoi.
