Meetha sa Ruhani ISHQ

7. Isha played dirty

Mini came drying her hair and saw him still sleeping on the couch.

Mini: Neil! Get up... Court jaana hai aaj... Utho jaldi....

Neil heard her voice and slowly opened his eyes.

He saw Mini drying her hair.

He got lost in her, smiling brightly. 

Mini bent down to him.

He was looking in her eyes.

Mini: Kya dekh rahe ho?

Neil: Meri Mini Madam ko... 

Mini:(lovingly) Uthana nahi hai?

Neil: Ha? (in trance)

Mini: Uthana nahi hai?... (sarcastically) Court tumhari jagah tumhara bhoot jayega?

Neil: Court? (still in trance)

Mini being confused shook him.

Mini: Abhi tak neend me hi ho kya?

Neil: (getting out of his trance) Ha? Kya hua?

Mini: Court jaana hai ready ho jao! 

Neil: Hmm.. 

He got up and went to get ready.

Mini and Neil arrived to the court in the cab and was ready to face anything that comes in their way.

Isha also arrived.

She saw Mini and Neil together and fumed up. 

She went to Mini.

Isha: Yaha bhi iske saath chali aayi....?

Mini: Tumhe maza jo chakhaana tha...

Isha: Dekhte hai kaun kise mazaa chakhaata hai....

Proceeding started.

Judge asked Isha to present her side first and she framed Neil to be ultraviolent and dangerous for her daughter. 

Isha's Lawyer: 5 saal se yeh divorce case chal raha hai your honour but abhi tak Mr Neil inko apna ghar nahi dena chah rahe the. Phir achanak 5 saal baad he agreed to give her everything...par apni beti nahi...aisa kaise....aisa isiliye kyunki yeh maan gaye...haar gaye....thak gaye....ya (smirkingly)....bhatak gaye....

Mini and Neil knew what's coming....they held each other's hand and tightened their grip on each other's hand to face everything.

Isha's Lawyer: 5 saal pehle Neil apni wife aur choti si bacchi ko chodd kar chale gaye..... phir kabhi unki chinta nahi kari.... unka dhyan nahi aaya unko.... kitne hi restaurants se apne temperament ki wajah se nikal diye gaye..... phir inhone Patiala Babes restaurant join kiya.... tab yeh patiala me hi ek tenant ban kar Ms Mini ke hi mohalle me rehte the... jahan ka rent bhi yeh time pe nahi de pa rahe the.... inta financial crisis me the but..... Kuch hi dinon baad.... Unhone apni landlady ko purana saara kiraya de diya aur unke ghar se shift ho gaye Ms Mini ke ghar.... Jinhone khud inko kuch hi dinon ki job pe inko advance de diya tha..... Ya keh lo ki apne paas bulane ke liye yeh paise diye the... Bahot kam time me bahot paas aa gaye the dono... phir ek din Neil, Ms Mini ko delhi laaye aur apna ghar dene ko bhi ready ho gaye.... Aap hi bataiye is anokhi dosti ko kya kahe.... Friendship.... Affair.. ya.... kuch aur hi?
