This one has a lot of emotions. I apologise in advance if I couldn't make it impactful. Also, do comment and let me know how it is.

In the car, on the way to the party

Mini: Just in case, woh aadmi jo party mein aa raha hai, use humpe doubt ho gaya toh? Because you know... Agar unke group ka koi insaan humare ghar tak pahunch gaya, it means they are doubtful...

Neil: Hmm, woh Manoj, jo uss din arrest hua hai, I think usne jo video shoot ki thi, he captured us too .. and before his arrest, woh video uske group ke paas pahunch gayi hogi... I guess that's why they are doubtful...

Mini: I think you're right. But still you see, in case he recognised us or something...

Neil: Umm... Well, I've changed my styling enough... in a way that I'm myself not able to believe I'm Neil Oberoi... All because of this stupid bollywood theme party 😑 Isse better hum ghar baith kar aaram se retro music enjoy karte, isn't it?

Mini: Tumhe parties se itni allergy kyun hai?

His expressions changed all of a sudden. His breaths became a bit uneven which didn't go unnoticed by her. She understood that it might be a sensitive topic for him.. She tried to change the topic when he himself started smiling...

Neil: Don't overthink... It's just that I'm not comfortable with this party thing, and I told you the reason... People get drunk and stick to strangers for no reason.. 😒

She chuckled.

Mini: Hmm, and what if they recognised me?

Neil: In that case, you wear this...

He passed her his hat.. the one he was wearing when they met for the first time...

Neil: Agar tumhe lage.. that someone's watching you or something... Just pull this a little down.. it'll be easier for you to cover your face...

Mini: Yeh hat tum humesha apne saath hi rakhte ho kya?

Neil (smiling wholeheartedly): Yeah, because it was gifted by a very special person.

Mini: 🤨 .... So.. your special one knows about this case?

Neil: I don't know... Maybe yes.

Mini: What? And she doesn't have any problem with... both of us living together.. like this... I mean...

Neil: Wait... Who "she"?

Mini: Idiot, your special one...

Neil: 🤦‍♂️😐 You're a detective but sometimes you badly forget to use basic sense...

Mini: Excuse me!!

Neil: Aur kya? You tell me, special one can only be a girl? I was talking about my dad.

Mini: Oh! I thought... I'm sorry

She looked away, embarassed a little, while he smiled looking at her expressions.

Neil: And, agar meri life mein koi "that" special one hoti, toh mai khud aisa plan nahi banata... Marna thodi hai maine!

Mini: 🤦🏻‍♀️ (whispered) idiot...

Neil: I heard that...

Mini: So what, you are. It's a fact!

Neil: Ok then you're Mrs. Idiot Oberoi😏

Mini: Stop it Neil! 😒....

They started laughing. Amidst the conversation, they reached the venue, which didn't seem to be a decent one..
