Mini looked at Neil, only to find him shocked, and lost in some other world.

Mini: Kya hua?

He didn't respond.

Mini: Neil...

Neil: Hmm?.... (Coming back to the world) haan, I'm sorry I just...

Mini: Aisa kya hai letter mein jo tum alag hi duniya mein chale gaye?

Neil: Nahi, Kuch nahi. Aise hi..... bekaar.... Advertisement hai...

Mini: Advertisement? 😒

Neil: Haan haan it's just a normal thing. Humare baare mein kuch nahi likha.

Mini: Okay. Acha, neeche dekho, woh postman khada hai toh sign kar ke aao.

Neil: Oh yeah.

He peeped down from the balcony. As he bent, she snatched the letter from his hand. (She's Mini, you see)

Neil: Mini!

Mini: Mai bhi toh dekhu aisa kya hai jiski wajah se tum itne pareshan ho gaye.

Neil: Par...

Mini: Par var kuch nahi...

She opened the letter.....

Kehte hain har maqsad mein qamyaab hone ke liye, planning, tez dimag, qismat, aur patience bahot zaroori hai. Pehli teen cheezein mera saath de rahi hain, aur aakhri cheez ab puri huyi. Firstly your parents, jinka pura accident, humne plan kiya and it was successful. Then Isha, jiske liye hum kuch plan karte usse pehle usne khud woh sab kar diya jo hum karna chahte the. "Neil Oberoi's broken, alone and yearning for emotional support" wala chehra.... Uski baat hi kuch aur hai. And now, you just wait and watch, kaise tumhari beti... Oops, woh toh tumhari beti hai hi nahi, not her, kaise tumhari fiance tumhare parents ke paas... Oh haan, yeh padh kar toh tumhe major shock laga hoga. Wish I could see that face of yours. Lekin tumhe ek baar phir se, kahin ka nahi chhodunga. Try and save your... Mini Madam...

It may seem dramatic but, actually it's quite a serious matter, plus something to learn from this track as well.

Neil: 🤦🏻

Mini: Tum itni badi baat mujhse chhipane wale the?

Neil: Nahi, Mai toh sirf...

Mini: Aur saara load khud lene wale the, right?

Neil: Mai sirf confirm karna chahta tha ki yeh sach hai yaa...

Mini: Wait a second... Yeh postman.... Isko mai batati hoon...

Neil: Arrey wait... Usne toh nahi likha naa yeh letter. Calm down.. Mai sign kar ke aata hoon.

After signing, he came back.

Mini: Neil, ispe toh address bhi nahi likha.

Neil: I think, post office jaa kar pata karna padega. But don't you think that it's weird... I mean.. Tumhe iss sab mein drag karne ki kya zaroorat hai? Usko problem mujhse hai then why he wants to bother you?

Mini: This can be a prank as well. Tumne bola tha naa ki tumhe jo calls aa rahe the woh kind of prank tha.

Neil: Maybe. But..

Mini: Waise toh mujhe bada kehte ho "don't overthink" and look at yourself.

Neil: 😐

Mini: Relax Neil. Don't worry, mujhe kuch nahi hoga. I'm fit and fine yaar. Trust me.

Neil: I know you'll be totally fine.

Mini: Ofcourse. So just calm down. Zyada mat socho and so jao.

Neil: Mini... I was thinking...

Mini: Not thinking, we are going Delhi tomorrow. Also, Keya ko batana mat that we are coming. Surprise!! (Just a reminder- they can sense each other)

Neil: ☺️

Mini: That's why I'm saying, so jao. Good night.

Neil: Good night.

Next morning, they left for Delhi. More than giving a surprise to Keya, it was about to check on her, whether she's safe or not. Isha wasn't at home (don't worry, she's not behind this).

Keya: Papa!!

Neil: How are you my little princess?

Keya: I'm good.

Mini: Hi Keya!

Keya: Hi 😁

Neil: So, kya kar rahe the aap?

Keya: Drawing... Aap meri help karoge? Please...

Mini: Kyun nahi karenge help.. Neil, you stay here. Mai restaurant jaa ke dekhti hoon, wahan ka kaam kaisa chal raha hai.

Neil: Alright. I'll pick you from there and phir wahin se wapas chalenge Patiala.

Mini: Okay.

She left. After a few hours, Neil left for the restaurant.

Mini: Chalein wapas?

Neil: Yeah.

As they were going towards the taxi, a speeding car came towards Mini and passed by, almost touching her.

Neil: MINI! What is... Are you okay? You're fine naa?

Mini: I'm totally fine Neil. Calm down.

Neil: 😐

Mini: What? Yaar tum aise ajeeb se faces mat banaya karo.

Neil: Excuse me.

Mini: I've already excused you. Aise faces sach mein mujhe bahot irritate karte hain.

Neil: Listen!

Mini: No you listen!

The people passing nearby were looking at them like "🧐" and it made them laugh like... 😂

Mini: Okay fine, ab chalein?

Neil: Yeah yeah...

Though they closed the matter in a joke, but deep down, they both knew that they have to take the letter seriously.

Neil: Mini...

Mini: Neil...

Neil: Speak...

Mini: No you speak...

Neil: Okay, I guess humein ek hi baat karni hai. Kahin yeh uss letter se...

Mini: I was thinking ki ho sakta hai yeh letter se related ho but, it can be a coincidence as well.

Neil: I think we should do an F.I.R.

Mini: Hmm.

Who do you think is behind the letter? What is his purpose?
