She sat on the piano bench and Neil picked up the guitar.

She played a tune and Neil smiled, recognising the song. She closed her eyes and started singing with the tune. Neil also joined her with his tunes of guitar.

Mini: (smiling thinking about something)

Pal pal pal pal har pal har pal
Kaise katega pal har pal
Pal pal pal palll har pal har pal
Kaise katega pal har pal har pal

Neil: (sensing her through her expressions)

Dil dil dil dill mein machi hai machi
Machi hai hulchul hulchul hulchul
Kaise katega pal har pal har pal
Kaise katega pal har pal har pal

Mini: (sang looking at him. Neil remembered the time when he felt the same. The time when he wrote his confession letter to Mini which he felt that it never reached Mini)

Pal pal pal palll har pal har pal
Kaise katega pal har pal har pal
Han han han han ha ha ha
La la la la la la laaa laaa

Neil: (He could clearly remember his feeling the whole day long)

O hum saafar lagta hai dar
Raat katena kabhi ho seher

Mini: (enjoying the song)

Is pal mein simete umar

Both together:

Raat katena kabhi ho sehar

Mini: (feeling the same)

Tu jo hai saaath mere
To dagar lage ke jaise
Khoobsurat ghar (x2)

Neil: (smiling brightly while singing)

Tu jo hai saaath
To yeh ambar lage ke
Jaise saya ho sar per
Tere kandhe per rakh kar sar
Yuhi kat jaye sari umar

Mini: (closing her eyes, enjoying the tunes and the song)

Pal pal pal pal har pal har pal
Kaise katega pal har pal har pal
Han han han han ha ha ha
La la la la la la laaalalaaa
Ummm ummmm ummmm

Neil: (Remembering that particular day)

Kal kya ho kisko khabar
Lagta hai daar (x2)

Mini:

Is pal mein simete umar

Both together:

Raat katena kabhi ho sehar

Mini: (She sang remembering the day she got Neil's confession letter while looking at him)

Accha bataoo...
Dil ki itne saari baatein
Kaise likhoge iss chote khat per (x2)

Neil: (He remembered how difficult the day was for him thinking about what if he loses Mini)

Dil per tuta hai kaise kahar
Tumko paakar khone ka hai daar

Mini: (Enjoying the song, saw Neil getting up and coming towards her)

Pyar ka yeh dhai aakhar
Kaise likhoge iss chote khat per

Neil took the support of the piano from the side and smiled at her while playing the tunes.

Neil: (Smiled seeing her smile)

Pal pal pal palll har pal har pal
Kaise katega pal har pal
Pal pal pal palll har pal har pal
Kaise katega pal har pal har pal

Both were lost in each other's eyes.

Both together:

Dil dil dil dill mein machi hai machi
Machi hai hulchul hulchul hulchul
Kaise katega pal har pal har pal
Kaise katega pal har pal har pal

Both had smiles on their faces after finishing the song.

Neil kept the guitar on the piano board and Mini got up. 

Mini: Theek thaak tha?

He held her hands happily.

Neil: Itna mast to bajaati ho tum... aur bol rahi thi ki accha nahi lagega.... It was so amazing yaar.... main to jaise kho hi gaya tha beech me...

Mini smiled with a little blush.

Neil: (dramatically) Oohhhooo..... Mini madam sharma rahi hai?

Mini: Shut Up! Sharmaye meri jutti... tum na zyada bano mat...

Neil chuckled.

They did not notice Arya and Keya were listening to their song at the door. They came inside.

Arya: Wow... kitna mast bajaate ho tum dono...

Keya: Ha... kitna accha lag raha tha... Phir se bajao na...

Arya: Ha... Veerbalika... ek baar Pls... Pls Neil?

Mineil looked at each other nervously.

Mineil: Phirse?

Arya, Keya: Pls... sirf ek baar..

Both nodded nervously. This time Mini picked up the guitar as she was at better confidence in it, so Neil sat on the piano bench.

Neil played a tune and Mini smiled recognising the retro song.
