Meetha sa Ruhani ISHQ

52. Reaching Delhi

Next morning, they reached Delhi and Neil's home was a few lanes away when Neil woke up and saw his head was on Mini's head.

Sun Zaalima Mere
Saanu Koi Darr Na
Ki Samjhega Zamana

Her head on his shoulder, with one his arm wrapped around her neck, holding Mini's arm by his one hand and her hand by his other hand. 

Arya was wrapped in their arms, between them, sleeping soundly.

Oh Tu Vi Si Kamli
Main Vi Sa Kamla
Ishqe Da Rog Sayana (x2)

Neil slowly removed the hair strands falling on Mini's face and kept his hand on her cheek.

Sunn Mere Humsafar
Kya Tujhe Itni Si Bhi Khabar (x2)

He remembered their last night's fun they had at the garden. How happy and cute Mini was looking while enjoying the moment, singing the duet with him. He smiled looking at her, adoring her peaceful smile on her beautiful face.

Ki Teri Saanse Chalti Jidhar
Rahunga Bas Wahi Umr Bhar (x2)

Neil: (in mind) Mini... Kaise kahu main tumse ki.... meri har subah bas aisehi... tumhe apne paas dekhna chahta hu main.... apne saath dekhna chahta hu... mera din tumhe dekhne se shuru ho... isse acchi koi aur din ki shuruwaat nahi ho sakti mere liye...

Jitni Haseen Ye Mulakate Hai
Unse Bhi Payaari Teri Baate Hai

Neil: Vo har ek pal jisme tum mere saath khush hoti ho na to aisa lagta hai jaise mujhe bhagwan ne mujhe meri saari khushiyan de di hai.. Mujhe har baar itna khoobsurat ehsaas hota hai jab bhi main yeh dekhta hu ki.... mere paas.. mere saath... Meri Mini hai... jisme meri zindagi basti hai... aur tab mujhe aisa lagta hai jaise ab mujhe aur kuch nahi chahiye... bas itna hi iss life ke liye kaafi hai ki tum meri ho.

Baaton Mein Teri Jo Kho Jate Hai
Aaun Na Hosh Mein Main Kabhi
Baaho Mein Hai Teri Zindagi Haye

His thoughts got a pause as the car stopped with a jerk. 

Neil held Mini and Arya protectively.

Neil: Are aaram se bhaiya.

Mini woke up due to his voice but Arya was still sleeping.

Driver: Sorry... vo break zara zor se lag gaya.

Neil: Hmm... 

Mini looked at his home and remembered her past experience there.

Neil picked up sleeping Arya in his arms.

She took a deep breath and got down off the car.

They went to the bungalow.

Neil gave the keys to Mini as he was holding Arya in his arms.

Mini opened the lock and then pushed the door open.

Mini: Main... thodi der baad aati hu.... pls.

Neil could sense her hesitance and nervousness.

Neil: Hmm...

He walked inside and Mini sat at the entrance trying to shrug off her thoughts of her past experience there.

Mini was feeling nervous and anxious.

Mini: (in mind) Yeh to socha hi nahi ki Neil ke ghar me rahenge to vohi din yaad aayega.... Neil ko bhi to uska past hi yaad aayega na... jab mujhse handle nahi ho raha hai ek din aane ka experience to Neil kaise handle karega... Vo agar handle kar bhi paaya to main kaise karungi.... 7 din kaise rahungi yaha?... andar jaane se pehle hi itni anxiety ho rahi hai... aage kya karungi?...
