Next morning, Mini woke up. It took her a few seconds to realise where she was. She sat straight on the bed and wondered how her life has changed in these two days. How she came across her darkest fear once again... How she met Neil Oberoi, who, professionally, has been her inspiration... She's got a case where she'll get to work with him, and now she is in his house, living with him... To the world, she is his wife, though only for a couple of days, but she is! And eventually, she started talking to herself.... While at the same time, Neil came outside her room and was about to knock, but stopped hearing her voice...

Mini: My Goodness, Matarani!! It's so complicated. Infact, he, this Neil Oberoi, is complexity personified!! (Neil:😐) Kabhi itna weirdly behave karta hai, baat-baat pe sarcastic ho jaata hai, suddenly mind reading karne lag jaata hai(Neil:😏) & only I know how much I want to wipe that proudy smirk off his face!(Neil:😶) ...... And how sometimes he seems to be so sweet.. a kind hearted person.. I could see that vulnerability in his eyes.. which maybe reflects in... my eyes too...

Neil felt a knot forming in his throat after hearing this. His eyes became teary but he took a deep breath to calm himself and entered her room directly.

Mini (startled): WHAT IS THIS NEIL OBEROI?! You are supposed to knock before entering someone's room, where are your manners?

Neil (suddenly realising): Oh!! I'm sorry, I was about to knock but...

Mini: But what?

Neil (now playing with her): But then I heard you talking to yourself... About quite interesting things.. so I thought I should listen to the whole story CLEARLY with this smirk on my face which you wanna wipe off 😏

Mini: Tum meri baatein sunn rahe the? 🤨

Neil: Well, I had no intentions but my ears are always open like a normal human being so.....

"I really hope ki case khatam hone tak mera dimaag theek rahe... Otherwise yeh toh koi kasar nahi chhodega, to make me insane...", thought Mini.

Neil: Don't you worry... If there's any problem in your brain, I'll tell you beforehand as I....

Mini: I know that, very well, Mr. Neil Oberoi... That you can read my thoughts as clearly as one reads a book .... But... Stop doing this again and again please..

Neil: I can't help it, you keep overthinking and don't talk about what is bothering you.. so I have to do that... Do you know how difficult it is to do mind reading of a person who creates a mess in her head everytime?!

Mini: But....

Neil: I know... It freaks you out, isn't it?

Mini: Ughhhh!! Forget it!!

She grabbed a towel and ran towards the bathroom, while he started laughing...

Neil: DO HAVE YOUR BREAKFAST ONCE YOU COME OUT!!

And he left her room... At the breakfast table..

Mini: So, what's the plan?

Neil: No plans. As of now, it's just that we have to reach there in the evening, and observe the people surrounding Stuti. As soon as we find something weird, we'll plan things accordingly.

Mini: Alright.

In the evening, they reached the beach. Stuti was not there so they just started strolling around. Suddenly, Neil held Mini's hand and pulled her a bit closer, continuing his walk....

Mini: What are you doing?

Neil: Shh.. I feel someone's snooping around so..

Mini: So what?
