Eternally Yours | A MiNeil Fanfiction | Patiala Babes | SouNoor

Part 21 - It all begins with care 💕

Mini went after him into the kitchen and stood next to him.

Neil: Why did you bother to come? Main bas aa hi raha tha..

Mini: Nahi... I just.. I was sitting all alone... so..

He smiled at her and got busy with the preparation.

Mini: (in mind) Hey matarani! Kya karu? Yahan aa toh gayi par ab kya? I can't even help him. What should I do now? At least I should set the table for both of us.. but I don't know where the dishes are kept... Toh kya karu ab?? Shall I talk to him about something else? About Arya...? But he has already told me everything... God! Please help me!!

Neil was observing everything and smiling to himself. She noticed him.

Mini: Wh.. what happened? Why are you smiling?

Neil: Hmm? Me? No.. not at all..

Mini: By the way.. what... are you doing?

He creased his brows and looked at her.

Neil: I... guess.. I am preparing for the breakfast..

Mini: Yeah... right... O..of course... I mean... What are you making?

Neil: Oh I'm sorry.. I didn't ask you... Omelette.. is it fine with you?

She smiled slightly and nodded her head.

Neil: Aur haan... Arya ke liye maine yeh daliya banaya tha.. abhi toh so rahi hai jab uthegi toh khila dena.

Mini: Why are you doing all this?

Neil: Doing what?

Mini: Itna kuch kyun kar rahe ho hum dono ke liye?

Neil: Main kya kar raha hoon? Nothing! Bas ek dost ki madad hi ki hai.

Mini: 🤨 Dost? Hum dost kab se ban gaye?

Neil: Umm... Nahi hain?

She shook her head slightly and smirked.

Neil: Oh.. okay.. no problem. Ab ban jate hain..

He immediately extended his hand towards her. She smiled and shook hands with him.

Mini: Itna serious kyun ho jate ho? I was just teasing you.

Neil pressed his lips in a thin line and shook his head. Mini smirked.

He started beating the eggs in a bowl. She curiously observed him how he was making breakfast. He noticed her behaviour and smiled.

Neil: Do you want to ask something?

Mini: Hmm? Umm... No.. I... I was just wondering... You know cooking!?

Neil: Yeah... Actually now I kind of love cooking.

Mini: Really? That's strange.. main toh kitchen se bhaagti hoon. You know, Babes hamesha mere peeche rehti thi ki kuch seekh le Mini, kaam aayega.. but I never listened to her.

Neil: Kitchen se bhaagti ho toh yahan kyun khadi ho?

Mini: Woh... A.. aise hi.. kitchen se matlab... cooking se bhaagti hoon. Mujhe koi interest nahi hai. Waise.. what made you love cooking? Just asking..

Neil: My loneliness..

Mini was confused.

Mini: Loneli..

Neil: (chuckled sadly) Itne time se akela reh raha hoon toh aadat ho gayi hai.

Mini smiled slightly.

Mini: You never told me before... Akele kyun rehte ho? I mean.. your family.. your parents.. kahan hain woh?... Oh I forgot! Tumne bataya tha.. that you did your graduation from Chandigarh.. wahin honge naa baki sab bhi?
