Mini: Neil, I don't know why, I feel ki kuch aisa hai jo ... I don't know ... I think.. he's hiding something.. something very big...

Neil: About himself?

Mini: Yeah maybe... about his life... Waise woh ekdum normally behave karta hai, lekin unhi normal baaton mein woh kabhi kabhi kuch aisa bol deta hai jisse mujhe kyi baar aisa lagta hai ki woh.. kuch hai uske mann mein.. And I feel ki woh batana chahta hai kisi ko but ..

Neil: So, what do you want to do?

Mini: I don't know.. kabhi kabhi mai sochti hoon I should ask him, but agar woh bhi uss RV jaisa ho gaya phir?

Neil (controlling his laugh): Phir kya? Hinsavadi toh tum ho hi...

Mini: Very funny 😒 I'm asking for an advice aur tum mazaak kar rahe ho.

Neil: Okay sorry. I would suggest... Tum notice karo ki kya woh koi aisi baat hai jo woh tumse share kar payega, or is it something else.

Mini: Hmm.

Neil: Look Mini, don't overthink. Take care of your health as well.

Mini: Mai theek hoon Neil. Jab doctors ne discharge kar diya, it means I'm perfectly fine.

Simpi was still crying.

Simpi: Geeta ji!! Saari mehnat kharab ho gayi. Sir ne kitna daanta humein, koi faida nahi hua...

Neil: Simpi, ek kaam karo, ghar jao.

Simpi (sudden excitement): Sir aap humein chhutti de rahe ho.

Neil: Haan bilkul... Ghar jao, chaaho toh tum humesha le liye bhi chhutti le sakti ho.

Simpi: Ok sir.... 😯 Sir, aap mujhe iss restaurant se nikal rahe hain.

Neil: Haan, tumhe kaam nahi karna, chhutti chahiye toh it's okay... You may leave.

Simpi: Nahi sir. Mujhe koi problem nahi hai. Sundar!! Jaldi se order bata. Mai abhi banati hoon.

Mini: Oh my goodness, matarani. Ek number ka khadus aur akdu insaan..

Neil: Excuse me, khadus aur akdu? Me?

Mini: Yes you, Chef Neil Oberoi. Aise deal karte hain kya apne staff se?

Neil: Do you even know ki kitna kaam hai yahan? Party toh cancel ho gayi but the work is still on.

Mini: Ok fine.

Neil: I'll talk to you later. Ghar jaa kar packing bhi karni hai, apni, Arya ki...

Mini: Packing kiske liye?

Neil: To be at your service, Madam...

Mini: Oh really? Dramebaaz kahin ka.

They both smiled and got engrossed in their respective works. After sometime, Aryan came to Mini's hotel room.

Mini: Tum yahan? Kuch kaam tha?

Aryan: Haan actually, tumhari tabiyat puchne aaya tha. Kaisi ho ab?

Mini: I'm better. Come, sit.

He sat on the couch. After some random chats..

Aryan: Waise mai tumhe thanks kehna chahta tha Mini.

Mini: Why?

Aryan: Woh isliye kyunki... Mere jaise useless insaan ko bhi tumne apna dost banaya, I am grateful to you.

Mini: Friendship le liye bhi koi thanks bolta hai kya? Aur kisne bola ki tum useless ho?

He didn't respond and lowered his eyes.

Mini: Is there something you want to share?

Aryan: My father, he always used to say ki mai stupid hoon, useless hoon, bekaar hoon, etc etc..

Mini: And why?

Aryan: Kyunki shayad woh jaisa chahte the, mai waisa nahi tha. Unki expectations pe khara nahi utar paya mai. He wanted an intelligent, all rounder kid but mai toh ek nalayak tha, loser.

She had definitely not expected such a thing from him.

Aryan: Unka bas ek sapna tha, ki mai unke dost ke bete jaisa banu. Intelligent, helping....

Mini: You are not meant to live upto someone's expectations. Har insaan alag hota hai, uski abilities alag hoti hain. Agar hum sab ek jaise hote toh success aur failure, inn sab ka koi matlab nahi hota. We are humans, all different. And I'm sure, tumhare dad aaj jahan kahin bhi honge naa, he'll be proud of you.

Aryan: Really?

She nodded.

Aryan: Thanks once....

Mini: Yeh thanks wanks mat bolo.

Aryan: Aaj toh chhutti thi. Tumne ache se rest kar liya hoga. Kal se join kar rahi ho naa wapas?

Mini: Definitely.

Aryan: Fantastic. Acha mujhe ek aur baat karni thi tumse.

Mini: Yeah..

Aryan: I'm sorry. Woh mujhe nahi pata tha ki tum... I mean... Ki tum already engaged ho. Woh meri age toh shaadi wali hai naa. I was looking for someone, and tumhe dekhte hi I thought you are the one.. but jab tumne bataya ki tumhari engagement ho chuki hai toh maine bahot socha.. I realised I was just attracted to you. But uske baad bhi you didn't leave me alone. Thank you and sorry..

Mini: Arrey tumne kya "thank you" aur "sorry" ki factory kholi huyi hai. It's okay yaar. Infact, mujhe acha laga ki tumne honestly sab kuch bataya mujhe. I like honest people.

Aryan: Oh, phir toh tumhara fiancée bhi kaafi honest hoga. Right?

(Obviously, "busy nahi tha, mai so raha tha" and "chhodi nahi nikala gaya, I was fired", isse zyada honest kya hoga bechara shareef insaan)

Mini: Right.

Aryan: So, are you happy with your engagement?

Mini: Yes ofcourse. I would say I'm... I'm blessed.

Aryan: Wow. Kabhi milwao apne fiancée se. Oh, mai toh bhool gaya. Woh India mein rehta hai, mai yahan Jordan mein, kaise milenge?

Mini: Arrey actually woh, meri sister aur mere friends, sab log aa rahe hain yahan, within 2 days. You can meet everyone.

Aryan: Seriously? I'm excited, to meet everyone, specially your fiancée plus your Chef, Neil Oberoi.

Mini: Ek minute.. tumhe kaise pata that he's my chef.

Aryan: Woh.... Mujhe... Haan.. tum uss din phone pe baat kar rahi thi naa usse, toh you were saying Chef and restaurant... Toh isliye.

Mini: Oh acha.

And that's how, he became a part of her good books....

Happy Reading. ❤️
