Mini: Wow Neil Oberoi, yeh raasta definitely bahot pyara hai.

He smiled as they were walking through a narrow lane, which was completely decked up with golden lights.

Neil: I told you. You know, har diwali pe mai aur dad shaam ko yahan walk ke liye aate the... far from all the noise of crackers, traffic, people... We always used to wonder isko decorate kaun karta hai.

Mini: Exactly, just look at those lights. Agar car kharab nahi huyi hoti toh we would have missed this.

Flashback

After the party, as they were leaving, Preet came to see them off. Mini hugged her while Neil was about to unlock the car doors when his instincts told him that something off. He bent down to check which brought to his notice that a fluid was leaking out.

Neil (smirked): I thought they can do better than this.

Mini: What happened?

Neil: Brake fluid is leaking...

Preet: What? Lekin kaise? Kahin yeh Ritwik ne.... I'm very sorry Mini, I shouldn't have called him, uski wajah se tum dono ko itni inconvenience huyi, pehle wahan hall mein, phir room mein and ab yeh..

Mini: Tu kyun sorry bol rahi hai? He got what he deserved. And waise bhi I don't think yeh usne kiya hai, right Neil?

Neil: Absolutely! Anyways, Preet do you mind if we leave this car here for tonight?

Preet: No problem, lekin tum log ghar kaise jaoge? Won't it be risky? It's very late already.

Neil: It won't, don't worry.

Preet: Lekin...

Mini: Tu tension mat le. We always have backup plans, for literally every single thing. You just take care of yourself, alright?

She nodded and they left.

Mini: So, you must be knowing some other route, but how will we go?

Neil: We'll take a walk.

Mini: Are you mad? Yeh koi Puri road se Chahal road tak ka distance nahi hai ki we can just reach by walking.

Neil: What? Yeh kaun si roads hain?

Mini: Sorry, they're in Patiala actually.

Neil: Oh, thank god! I thought ...

Mini: You thought ki yeh tumhare brain map mein kyun nahi hain, right?

Neil: Hey how do you know about this brain map thing?

Mini: Who doesn't know in CBI? (dramatically) There's only one person who knows these two cities Delhi and Mumbai even better than GPS- Mr. Neil Oberoi

He chuckled, and she smiled at him in wonder.

Tu... Tune aakhon se
Padh liye Jazbaat hain
Tu... Teri baaton mein
Kuch ajnabee Alfaaz hai
Tu Kaise sune
Meri, ye baatein ankahi
