Mini came out of her room after changing her clothes. She noticed that Neil had already changed and was preparing something for the dinner. She entered the kitchen, but stood silently at one corner, wondering if she should start a conversation or not, and if yes, then how. Neil was observing everything by stealing glances at her, all the while smiling.

Mini (to herself): Oh my goodness matarani!! What should I do? Ek toh pata nhi kyun iske saamne mai nervous ho jaati hoon, upar se mujhe cooking bhi nhi aati, I can't even help him... Should I ask him about the case? Nahi, not yet... Should I ask him about his personal life... Such a stupid idea......

Neil: We're not on a date or something that you're so confused about what to ask or how to behave.. you can simply ask whatever you want to know. I won't mind...

Mini: 🤨... Mai kahan confused hoon? I'm not confused... Not at all...

Neil: Yeah, I can clearly see that.

Mini: See what?

Neil: In case you forgot, let me remind you that minds are like books to me... readable 😏

She freaked out again, and he somehow controlled his laugh.

Neil: Okay, sorry for freaking you out again! Tell me, why are you so confused?

Mini: It's quite obvious, isn't it? I mean, we've just met, some hours back.. and now we are here, living in the same house... We have to pretend to be a married couple or whatever... On top of that, we don't know each other at all... It's kinda weird..

Neil: I understand, and trust me, I'll answer each of your questions and will clear every sort of confusion you have, to make it smooth, alright?

She nodded, and smiled a little.

Neil: Lekin usse pehle, let's have dinner. I'm super hungry!!

"Mujhe toh bahot der se bhook lag rahi hai" thought Mini...

Neil: I know that.

He winked at her and went out of kitchen to settle the dinner on the table, freaking her out again.

Mini: This man will make me insane, I swear!!

Neil (shouted from outside): STOP TALKING TO YOURSELF AND HAVE YOUR DINNER!!

Mini: Such a bully he is!! 😒😐

She went outside and sat on a chair, sulking at him. He smiled at her antics. He too, sat on the chair opposite to her and served the dinner to himself. When Mini was serving herself...

Neil: Shoot!

Mini: Shoot? Kise?

Neil: 😒 Mujhe!!

Mini: Lekin kyun? 🤨

Neil: God!! This girl will make me insane!!

Mini: Excuse me!

Neil: Fine! I was saying, shoot your questions, Ms. Investigator!! (Mini was about to say something) ... BUT... First, have your dinner.

Mini: 😒 (she took the first bite) .... Oh my goodness!!! This is so delicious... Tum toh chef nikle yaar... Tumhi ne banaya hai naa?

Neil: Nahi, kitchen mein mere alawa jo dusra insaan dikh raha tha naa tumhe, usne banaya hai... (Mini: 😐) obviously I made it... Now tell me, what happened? I'm sure you don't behave like this all the time. You're overthinking about something. Tell me what's it..

Mini: Pehle toh tum mujhe yeh batao ki tumne identity change kyun nahi ki? Or is it that your real name is something else? Is Neil Oberoi your real identity?
