The Journey of Acceptance and Love

The first Meeting

She was running as she was already very late. As she came near the Oberoi House, she crashed with a tall man.

Mini: Oh my God!🤯 My Camera! Are you mad or what? Tumne mera camera gira diya!

...: Look I am really very sorry... Maine aapko dekha nahi tha.

Mini: You are such an idiot. Tumhe pata bhi hai tumne kya kiya hai. Mera itna important project tha and you just broke my Camera. Kitni aasani se tumne keh diya sorry but mere liye kitna difficult hai do you even realize that? Consequences toh mujhe hi jhelne honge naa.

...: Arre but...

Mini: No, I don't want to hear anything from you.

She went inside the main gate.

...: (to himself) No, wait a second... What? She has come for Mumma's project... Mai toh gaya😬

On the other side Mini went to Mrs. Oberoi.

Mini: Hi Mam. I am Mini.

Mrs. Oberoi: Hi Mini, well, no need to call me mam, you can call me Aunty.

Mini: Ok, Actually I am really very sorry main late ho gayi bohut zyada.

Mrs. Oberoi: Arre, That's okay... Aaj toh bas ek baar baat hi karni thi project ke barre mein. So, its okay

Mini: Actually Aunty, ek aur problem hai. Main jab aa rahi thi tab mera camera ek idiot ne gira diya...So, I think shayad tut gaya hai.

Mrs. Oberoi: Acha, I know delhi mein naa log bas apni hi dhun mein chalte rehte hain, durse par dhyan hi nhi dete... Koi baat nahi, jab tumhara camera theek ho jayega, tab hum kaam start kar denge.

When they were talking, someone entered the house very quietly and didn't make any sound.

Mrs. Oberoi: Arre Neil, aise choron ki tarah kyun ghus raha tha tu, kya hua?

Neil: Umm... Kuch nahi Mumma 🤐

Mrs. Oberoi: Acha, By the way Mini this is my son Neil and Neil this is Mini, yahan project ke liye aayi hai. Maine bataya tha naa.

As their eyes met, Mini was shocked.

Mini: (in her mind) Oh my God! Yeh toh wohi insaan hai... Yeh inka beta hai. Oh my Godness! 😲

Neil: (in his mind) Mera shaq sach nikla. Yeh wohi hai. Mai toh gaya. 😶

Mrs. Oberoi: Kya hua? Aise kyun dekh rahe ho ek dusre ko? Ek second, Mini kahin issi ne toh nahi tod diya tumhara camera? Haan Neil? Tu aa raha hoga, apni dhun mein.

Neil: Actually Yes...

Mrs. Oberoi: Very Bad Neil, Dekh kar chalna chahiye tha naa?

Neil: Yeah Sorry

Mrs. Oberoi: Ek Sorry se kaam nhi chalega. Mini, abh yeh hi tumhara camera theek karwa kar dega.

Mini: Arre nahi Aunty, Main karwa lungi khud, it's okay.

Mrs. Oberoi: Nahi beta, Ab toh Neil hi karwa kar dega tumhara Camera theek. Neil kal lekar jana isse shop par, okay?

Neil: Okay 🙄

Mini: 😒

At night, Neil was sitting in his room when his mom arrived.

Mrs. Oberoi: Neil

Neil: 😅 Hanji

Mrs. Oberoi: Dekh kar chala kar, road par chalte kisi se bhi takara jata hai... Aisa konsa music chalta rehta hai tere dimaag mein? Kabhi mere saath baith kar toh gaaya nahi. Chal, Raag Bhairavi ga, sikhaya tha na tujhe bacchpan mein.

Neil: 😬 Mumma, apko toh pata hai naa main gata wata nahi hun infact meri toh awaaz bhi itni gandi hai toh main nahi...

Mrs. Oberoi: Yeh teri galat fehmi hai... Bohut acha gata hai tu

Neil: But....

Just then he got a call

Neil: Ek minute mai abhi aaya

Mrs. Oberoi: Haan jaa, karle apni private baat Isha se 😏

Neil: Aisa kuch nahi hai 😶

Mrs. Oberoi: Tu bahar jaa ke kar baat... It's okay

Neil: Ok

He went outside the room

Isha: (from the other side): Hi Neil!

Neil: Hi

Isha: Mujhe kal tumse milna hai.

Neil: Kab?

Isha: 12:00, xyz cafeteria mein aa jana.

Neil: Ok

Isha: And please for god sake mujhe zyada wait mat karwana...jab bhi hum milne ka decide karte hain toh tum late ho jate ho

Neil: Yeah, Main aa jaunga...

Isha: Bye

Neil: Bye

The next day Mini arrived at Neil's house.

Mrs. Oberoi: Mini, you go with Neil... Tumhara camera theek karwana hai naa.

Mini: Haan Aunty 🙄

Mrs. Oberoi: Neil, Go

Neil: Hmm 😒

They went to the shop.

Neil: Well, I am sorry... Meri wajah se aapka camera tut gaya but seriously mera yeh sabh karne ka koi intention nahi tha.

Mini: Yeah, you should be... 

Neil: 😒

Mini: What? Aise mat dekho mujhe, okay? Tumne mera camera giraya tha toh you should be sorry.

Neil: Listen

Mini: No you listen

Shopkeeper: 🤨 Aap dono ko ladhna hai toh meri dukan se dur jaa kar ladiye. Meri dukan ke samne apni miya- biwi ki ladai kar rahe hai... Main nahi chahta ki meri dukan ke samne log jama ho jaye

Neil: 😶

Mini: Excuse me, aapko koi galat fehmi hui hai hum dono...

Shopkeeper: Jo bhi laagte ho ek dusre ke... meri dukan ke samne ladai mat kariye 😑

The shopkeeper fixed her camera.

Mini: (to Neil) Thank you...

Neil: 🙂

Mini: 🤨

They returned back home. Neil went to the cafe to meet Isha.

At the cafe...

Isha: Bahut jaldi aa gaye tum Neil...

Neil: I am sorry... Actually woh Mumma ka kuch kaam tha toh main bas wohi kar raha tha

Isha: Neil, I can't take this anymore... Tum hamesha apni Mom ke kaamo mein busy rehte ho and now tumhe kisi ek ko choose karna hoga, Mujhe yaa phir apni Mom ko. Bolo, mujhe choose kar paoge tum? Nahi naa?

Neil: Look Isha, I am really very sorry about this... 

Isha: Tumhe hamesha apni Mom ke paas hi kyun rehna hota hai? Chhoti si bacchi nahi hai woh jo tum pura time unke aage peeche ghumte rahate ho...Mujhe bhi thoda time diya karo

Neil: Why are you reacting this way? 

Isha: Ek phone call karke keh diya tumne toh ki Mai nahi aa sakta Mumma ka kaam aa gaya hai. Mujhe nahi karni ek aise insaan se shaadi jo ki apni maa ki ungliyon par naachta ho.

Neil: Listen Isha....

But she left the cafe.

After some time in Neil's House, Neil's Mom and Mini were sitting when they heard a crash from upstairs.
