After having dinner, they all went to sleep. Next morning, quite early than usual, even before sunrise, Mini went to the balcony and was surprised to see Neil already awake.

Mini: Oh my goodness, matarani, tum itni jaldi kaise uth gaye? Jo insaan restaurant jaane se 5 minute pehle uthta hai, woh aaj 5 baje se bhi pehle uth gaya!!

Neil: Well, yeh toh mai bhi puch sakta hoon. Jaldi uthne walon mein se toh tum bhi nahi ho.

Mini (sighed): Haan......

Neil: Ab kis jagah travel kar raha hai tumhara overthinking brain?

Mini: 🙄

Neil: Tell me.

Mini: Yaar I don't know. Ghar mein sab shaadi shaadi kar rahe hain...

Neil: Oh, so that's bothering you. Actually....

Mini: 😒

Neil: What?

Mini: Isse pehle ke tum phir se apna lame humour shuru kar do, let me tell you that it is not bothering me in THAT way..... Tum samajh rahe ho naa...

He just looked at her.

Mini: Dekha hai maine... "Love Stories..."... They change. Aisa nahi hota jaisa hum sochte hain, jaisa hum expect karte hain. And if I talk about Love... Which is the main emotion.. woh toh log bhool hi jaate hain. Bas reh jaata hai toh ek rishta, woh bhi bas nibhane ki hadd tak. (Pause) And it definitely doesn't mean that I don't trust you with all that or I don't trust our......  Yeh mera decision tha, that now, it's the time for us to step into a new journey and I'm confident about it. Lekin.... Neil, jo maine khud apni aankhon ke saamne dekha hai woh.... I don't know it makes me feel so uneasy.

He held her hand, and looked directly into her eyes.

Neil: I know Mini, things generally don't go the way we plan them. But if we trust the journey and the one who's going to be with us throughout, I think it becomes easier to go through it. Saari problems, saari confusions, sab solve ho jaate hain. Aur rahi baat changes ki, woh toh time ke saath insaano mein bhi aate hain. Toh relations mein bhi zaroor aayenge. Now the rest depends on us ki hum har change mein se kuch positive dhundte hain, yaa phir negativity dhund ke sab kharab kar dete hain. And I have complete trust on my Mini because, she is the one who never accepts defeat, phir chaahe woh koi insaan ho yaa koi relation. Isn't it?

She smiled whole heartedly at him.

Mini: Ab tum bataoge ki tum kis confusion mein yahan baithe the?

Neil: Mai? Mai kisi confusion mein nahi tha.

Mini: Acha? Don't try to be so innocent. I know koi toh reason hai.

Neil: Woh actually... Mere room mein... Mereroommeinekspiderhaiandicantsleepthere.

He is Neil.... Not SRJ.....

Mini: ....... What? Nahi ek second... Tumhare room mein ek spider hai?

Neil: Yeah... 😬

Mini: Oh my... 😂😂😂 Isliye tum yahan baithe ho.

Neil: 😒

Mini: Chef Neil Oberoi, spider se itna darr gaye ki neend bhi bhool gaye.

Neil: Hass lo hass lo... Sab sar-aankhon par, Mini Madam.

Mini: 😏

And it started raining.... (As I was asked to write by my Sakhi)

As they were inside the house, they were not getting drenched. But those tiny droplets were falling on them, giving more ecstatic vibes.

She closed her eyes, feeling that essence of nature, and then suddenly she remembered his words.... "You know what, rains are the symbol of love" and automatically a smile formed on her lips. He looked at her.

Neil: Let's go inside.

He stood up to leave but she held his little finger. He turned towards her.

Mini: Let's stay here for sometime.

Tum mere ho iss pal mere ho
Kal shayad yeh aalam na rahe
Kuch aisa ho tum tum na raho
Kuch aisa ho hum, hum na rahein…
Yeh raaste alag ho jaaye
Chalte chalte hum kho jaayein…
Meri jaan mein har khamoshi mein
Tere pyaar ke naghme gaaunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga
Iss chahat mein marr jaaunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga

She stood up and came a bit closer to him. She kept her hand on his cheek. He could see deep emotions of ultimate trust for him in her eyes.

Mini: Thanks Neil. Thanks for making me believe in love. This may seem normal to you, but for me, it's different. I've always hated this emotion to the core. And today, I can see the epitome of the same emotion standing right in front of me. Thank you..

Neil: Shh...

He hugged her tightly.

Baahon mein teri aake lagaa
Mera safar toh yahin tak hai
Tumse shuru tumpe hi khatam
Meri kahaani tumhi tak hai
Dil ko jo de raahat si
Tujhme hai woh khamoshi
Sau baar talaash liya khudko
Kuch tere siva na mila mujhko
Saanson se rishta tod bhi loon
Tumse tod na paungi.. hmm..
Main phir bhi tumko chaahungi
Main phir bhi tumko chaahungi
Iss chaahat mein marr jaaungi
Main phir bhi tumko chaahungi

Neil: And do you know what you have done? Mini, you have shown me what trust is. For a person jise life ne hi cheat kar diya ho, uske liye yeh bahot badi baat hai ki koi uspe itna trust kare, itna ki woh.. I... I don't know what to say....

His eyes became moist....

Mini: I know....

She too, felt so overwhelmed by his words. In that rain, their eyes shed tears of happiness, love and ecstasy together.

A few moments later, they both heard some noises from inside the house...

Mini: Rani Di aa gayi shayad. Aur tum bhi chalo. Aaj bahot kaam hai...

Neil: Kaam vaam sab baad mein. Pehle Rani se kaho mere room ki safai kare. Mai bechara shareef insaan so hi nahi pata iss ghar mein. Kabhi spider... Toh kabhi spider woman...

Mini: What?

Neil: Nahi kuch nahi. Chalein?

Mini: Yeah.

Happy Reading. ❤️
