As Neil drove to the airport, the drive was eerily silent with a lot of chaos in their mind as they would be at a physical distance of thousands of cities and a big whole ocean between them for more than a whole big week.
They reached the airport. It was raining by then.
Neil got out of the car, holding an umbrella and kept it above Mini when she came out.
Both were holding on their pendants in their fists under their shirts and tightened their grip on it.
Mujhse juda hokar
Tumhe door jaana hai
Mini, closing the door of the car behind, raised her head with tears in her eyes to look at Neil. He also had tears in his eyes but was smiling.
Mini: Ro rahe ho ya has rahe ho?
Neil: Jo tum samjho...
Mini's eyes brimmed with tears on the verge of falling.
Mini: (eye talk) Rok lo na mujhe...
Neil smiled emotionally.
Neil: (eye talk) Rok lunga to tum ruk jaogi na?
Mini nodded.
Neil: (eye talk while nodding in a no) Isiliye to nahi rokunga...
Mujhse juda hokar
Tumhe door jaana hai
Pal bhar ki judaai
Phir laut aana hai
Both hugged each other, under the umbrella while tears rolled down both of their eyes.
Their hands were moving on each other's back while clenching their shirts in their fists, as if trying to hold on that feel of each other in themselves.
After almost half a min, both parted and rubbed off each other's tears with a smile on their faces.
Mini: I hate you.
Neil: I hate you too... I will always hate you Mini. Yaad rakhna.... Me khada hu tumhare saath... humesha....
Mini nodded with moist eyes.
Saathiya sang rahega tera pyar
Saathiya rang layega intezar
The umbrella got lowered on their heads.
Neil: You remember na.... you are my soul's shelter?....
Mini nodded. He kept her hand on her cheek and raised her head a little bit.
Neil: Mere ghar ka dhyaan rakhna... (pecked on her forehead) Jaise bhej raha hu na... Vaisi hi chahiye mujhe meri Mini wapas.... (rubbing off tears) Australia me khone mat dena meri Mini ko tum... (pinching her nose) Meri Butterfly ho tum jo apna aasmaan apni udaan se sametne jaa rahi hai... Hmm?
Tumse juda hokar
Mujhe door jaana hai
Mini: Hmm... (cupping his face) Mera Neil bhi mujhe aisa hi milna chahiye... theek se khaana... theek se sona... aur stress mat lena... overthinking to bilkul bhi nahi karna.... (She moved forward, closer to him and bending down his face, raising herself, pecked on his forehead) I will miss you....
Both hugged each other tightly.
Tumse juda hokar
Mujhe door jaana hai
Pal bhar ki judaai
Phir laut aana hai
Mini: Mujhe pata tum baki sab sambhaal sakte ho but khud ko nahi....apna bhi dhyaan rakhna...
Neil: You too.. You remember that promise... Hmm?
Mini: Hmm..
Neil: (patted her head) Message me when you land there.
Mini: Take care.
