Mini was staring up at the ceiling as she was lying straight on her bed, still wide awake. It was past midnight now, and in her mind, there was chaos. On one hand, she was extremely worried for her best friend. She didn't want anything bad happen to her, because of her. Specially after witnessing the incident happened with Swara, she just wanted to protect Preet somehow... On the other hand, there was just guilt in her heart to hurt the person who, she knew, loves her to the core. In the whole world, there was nobody in this moment but him, who thought about her safety, while she was just making practical statements. She stood up from the bed, unable to hold the discomfort anymore and thought to check upon him. She reached outside his room and held the knob of the door but...

Mini: Lekin ek second, sirf meri galti thodi na hai? He was also being akdu... And the way he was scolding me!!! Ughhh I hate him!! Mai kyun jau?

She turned back... And stopped...

Mini: But... Galti meri bhi thi.. maine uski baat nhi suni...

She again looked at the door... And noticed that it's already open. She silently peeped inside. Neil was not sleeping, rather he was sitting on his writing table which, Mini used to think, is completely useless as he never sits over there. And what surprised her more was the fact that for the first time in all these months, she saw him writing!! Yes, he was saying all of that in Diwali party just a few hours back, but she thought he said that to simply cover up their real professional identities. Just by seeing him writing so passionately, she got so excited that forgetting about their fight, she ran to him and was about to tap on his shoulder when ...

Neil: So you finally thought to apologise?

Mini: What?

Neil: Yeah, isliye toh tum khadi thi bahar... Thinking whether you should or you shouldn't, isn't it?

Mini: Oh hello?!! Mai koi sorry vorry bolne nahi aayi tumhe... Mai toh bas... And ek second, tumhe kaise pata?

Neil: I have many talents, Ms. Mini..

Mini: D.. don't call me that...

Neil: Why? Isn't that your name?

Mini: Yes it is but...

Neil: Yeah so, 'practically' I should call you by your original name unless we have to pretend to be husband and wife... I will take care of that from now.

Mini just couldn't say anything in return because definitely, his words pierced through her heart... She knew fully well that he was more hurt than how she was feeling right now.

Mini: Ok enough!! Listen to me, Neil Oberoi!! Bahot ho gayi tumhari yeh arrogance. Theek hai ho gayi mujhse galti.. maine bol diya gusse mein bahot kuch but...

Neil: Gusse mein? Excuse me!! You know all this that happened between us is not because of something you said in anger... And you really think I'm gonna be upset about you being angry? Seriously? Do I seem that immature to you?

Mini: Do you want to fight again? 😒

Neil: If you are here to start a fight again then ofcourse I don't have any option....

Mini: ENOUGH!! Tumse na baat hi karna bekaar hai, because tum sunte hi nahi!!

Neil: Excuse me!! Mai nahi sunta?

Mini: Shhh!! No more arguments!!

Neil: 😐

Mini: Mujhe dikhao tum kya likh rahe ho..

Neil: What?!! No!

Mini: Kyun?

Neil: Ky.. kyunki ... Meri marzi..
