Same day, evening...

Mini (on call): That's true Preet Kaure. I'm just happy that she's safe.

Preet: Haan. Hum toh darr gaye the... She's a very nice lady yaar... Always there to help us all... Unhe kuch ho jaata toh, hum sab bhi affect hote... Thanks to you and Neil.

Mini: It's our work yaar. Yeh humari responsibility thi.

Preet: Acha sunn, ab yeh matter solve hua hai... Toh mai soch rahi thi ki hum milte hain... Tu jab se Mumbai aayi hai hum theek se mile hi nahi... Swara bhi yehi keh rahi hai...

Mini: Swara tere saath hi hai abhi?

Preet: Haan, aaj woh yahin rahegi... Isliye toh mai keh rahi hoon, hum sab milte hain... Tu mere ghar aa ja... Dinner saath karenge.

Mini: Arrey nahi yaar Preet Kaure... Some other time... Neil already dinner prepare kar raha hai...

Preet: Toh tu... Ek second... Neil dinner prepare kar raha matlab? Tu hotel mein nahi hai?

Mini: 😬🤦🏻‍♀️ Ahhh... Woh... Actually, Neil aur mai....

Preet: Neil aur tu???

Mini: Hum saath hi rahenge jab tak case khatam nahi ho jaata...

Preet: WHAT!!! Aur tune mujhe bataya bhi nahi???

Mini: Isme ... Batane wali kya baat hai... It's just because hum iss case pe saath mein kaam kar rahe hain... We have a lot of things to discuss daily... Alag alag rehte toh problems hoti, un logo ko doubt bhi ho sakta tha... You know... So....

Preet: Achha accha theek hai... Ab zyada explanations naa de... (teasingly) Toh ab tu Neil ke ghar rehti hai? 😏

Mini (realising her context): Tu naa, zyada dimaag mat chala... We are just good friends, nothing else...

Preet: Ohhoooo, "professional colleagues" se seedha 'good friends"... Woh bhi itni jaldi... Kya baat hai Mini..

Mini: Shut up oye.... 😶

Preet: Achha yeh sab chhod... Tu Neil ko bhi saath le aa... Isi bahane hum bhi mil lenge usse...

Mini: Arrey nahi yaar... Woh nahi aayega.. woh tujhe jaanta bhi nahi hai... And I know... He avoids meeting people for no important reason..

Preet: Oye hoye... Tujhe bada pata hai? 😁

Mini: Preet!!! 🙄

Preet: Okay fine... Usko rehne de... Tu aaja... Please yaar, you don't know how much I missed you in all these years.. ab tu Mumbai mein hai phir bhi we can't see each other... It's not right Mini...

Mini: I missed you too Preet Kaure.. (sighs) okay .. I'll come in some time...

Preet: Tu aa rahi hai!!! Finallyyy!! Jaldi aa... We're waiting

Mini: Yeah...

She hung up the call and went to the kitchen. Neil was almost done with the dinner. She was facing his back and was about to call him when...

Neil: Hmm? Baat ho gayi Preet se? She's fine?

Mini: Hey... Tumhe kaise pata chala ki mai yahan hoon? Now don't tell me that you've got an extra pair of eyes at the back of your head...

Neil: 😒 and what makes you think such a weird thing about me?

Mini: Actually, tum pure hi weird ho.

Neil: Excuse me!!

Mini: I've already excused you! And yes, you're weird.. mind reader...

Neil (cutting her short): I'm as much normal as you are... A "human being"... Not an alien with 2 pair of eyes 😒
