Preet: Mini, chal zara, kuch baat karni hai.

Mini: Kya hua?

Preet: Arre chal toh.

She held her hand and dragged her towards one corner where there was no sign of a person.

Mini: Kya kar rahi hai? Kya hua hai?

Preet: Mini, is there something going between you two?

Mini: What!? Pagal hai kya? Tu.. tu na bahot zyada sochti hai Preet Kaure.. ai.. aisa kuch nahi hai.

Preet: Tu jo yeh baar baar sharmati hai naa, main toh kya yahan sab yahi soch rahe hain. Toh please, mere saamne toh drama mat hi kar. Kuch toh baat zaroor hai.

Mini lowered her lashes and her lips pressed together when her cheeks turned pink.

Preet: Yeh.. yeh jo tu iss tarah chehra jhuka kar apne honth sukarti hai naa, teri aankhein woh sari baatein mujhe bata deti hain jo bakio ke liye anjaan hai. Haan par... shayad Neil sab janta hai.

She looked at him with dropping jaws but again shut her mouth and looked away.

Preet: Ab bol bhi de. Itna bhaav kyun khaa rahi hai?

Mini: Tujhe kaise samjhau main Preet Kaure ki...

Preet: Mujhe kuch samjhane ki zaroorat nahi hai. Jo sach hai bas woh bol de.

Mini: Kya sach??... Okay I accept that it's more than a friendship but definitely not something that you're indicating at. Aur rahi baat teri intuition ki toh... I've something to show you.

Preet: What?

She lifted up the pleats a little and showed her the anklets. However, Preet's facial expressions didn't change as she failed to understand.

Preet: Kya? Payal hi toh hai.

Mini: Dumbo! Dhyan se dekh.

After examining it carefully..

Preet: Kya dikhana chahti hai? Yeh payal Babes ne di thi tujhe. Bas??

Mini: Idiot. Isme se ek kho gayi thi. Bhool gayi?

Preet: Oh haan. Kahan se mili?

Mini: Preet, tune naa puri baat ka maza kharab kar diya hai. Main nahi bata rahi tujhe kuch. Bye. Main ja rahi hoon. (She started walking away)

Preet: Arre arre wait! (She held her arm to stop her) Ek minute... Yeh payal tujhe Neil ne di?

Mini smiled at her.

Mini: Tubelight!

Preet: Oh my goodness Mini! Yeh Neil ko kaise..? Usne khud tujhe pehnayi?

Her face turned crimson red and she lowered her head. Preet hugged her out of excitement.

Preet: Mini, I'm so happy for you. Finally, tune accept toh kiya ki yeh jo kuch bhi hai, friendship se zyada hai. Aur usne bhi indirectly bahot kuch keh diya.

Mini: Bas oye. Ch..chal ab. Bahot der ho gayi hai humein yahan.

Preet: Toh? Woh dhund raha hoga?

Meanwhile, Neil was looking for Mini. He looked worried. Preet and Mini saw him coming towards them. He stopped in his way, and took a sigh of relief as he saw Mini with a bright smile on her face. He came forward.

Neil: What are you doing here?

Mini: I.. I just came with Preet..

Neil: Bata toh deti. I was so wor..
