Arya and Keya went to the kids play area and Mineil were sitting in the nearby cafe, talking and laughing with each other.

Ritwick from the nearby table saw Neil laughing.

Ritwick: (in mind) Yeh to Neil hai na?... Itna khush kaise hai?

He tilted and saw him sitting with Mini.

Ritwick: (in mind) Oh... Neil.. apni 'nayi zindagi' ke saath aaya hai... ek baar jaake dekha to jaaye.... Kya pata naam hi pata chal jaaye...

Meanwhile Mineil,

Neil: Kya mangwaaye bolo?

Mini: (after looking at the menu) Caramel mocha kaisa rahega?

Neil: Done!.... Main laata hu...

Mini: Waiting for you....

Neil went to the counter outside the sitting area. Mini was looking in her phone.

Ritwick now got a chance.

He came to their table and sat beside Mini.

Mini looked at him and got up angrily.

Mini: (banged on the table) What the hell do you think of yourself?.... What are doing here?

Ritwick: (looking at her lustfully) Ab tumhe dekhne ka man kiya to chala aaya.

Hearing the bang, All others looked at them and Neil too heard it. He came to the sitting area and saw them. Walking towards them, Neil heard what Ritwick said.

Before Mini could even react on his comment, Neil came to them.

Neil: (getting him up by holding his collar) Kya kar raha hai tu yaha?.... Himmat kaise hui teri... Mini ke aas paas bhi aane ki?

Mini was confused to see him so enraged just by seeing him. Little did she knew what Ritwick had spoke to Neil at their first encounter.

Mini: Neil.... tum..

Ritwick: (interrupting) Vaise aaj at least naam to pata chala tumhari 'nayi zindagi' ka.. Mini.

Neil: Don't!.... Don't you dare take her name... Get out of here right now.

Ritwick: Bahot possessive ho rahe ho?... itna bhi zyada kya mang...

Neil thrashed him to the ground before he could complete.

Neil: Just shut up.... Get out of here right now..... Warna mujhse bura koi nahi hoga... 

Mini held Neil's arm getting shocked by his sudden reaction and he turned to her.

Neil: Tum theek ho?... Kuch bola to nahi isne tumse?

Mini: Main theek hu... Calm Down... Achanak kya ho...

Ritwick got up from behind and was about to punch Neil when Mini saw him.

Mini: (worriedly) Neil!

She immediately pushed Neil aside and held Ritwick's hand.

Before Neil could react, Mini furiously twisted his hand badly and kicked Ritwick on his knees.

Ritwick fell on the ground and Mini trampled his hand by her sandal's heel.

Mini: Zyada hi gussa hai tujhme?... Abhi yahi ke yahi nikaal dungi saara ka saara... Neil pe haath uthaane ki koshish nahi karna... Nikal ja yaha se.... abhi ke abhi... baar baar mauka nahi deti main.... (kicking him tightly) Nikal.

Ritwick got up wincing slightly, with anger and ached ego in his eyes, looking at her devilishly.

Neil held Mini's hand and moved in front of her, covering her protectively.

Neil: Suna nahi kya kaha usne... Abhi nikal...

Ritwick: (moved to him and whispered lightly in anger) Abhi to jaa hi raha hu main... par kabhi isko yunhi akela mat chodna... kab kahan kya ho jaaye kisko pata?....

Neil knew Mini is capable enough to save herself from rascals like him and was confident but angry on Ritwick too.

Neil: (enragedly, pushed him to the exit) Get the hell out of here Ritwick.

Ritwick went out.

Mini saw Neil was very angry on him and she was confused as what happened to him all of a sudden. Why was he asking whether Ritwick said something to her or not.

Mini: (coming in front of him) Neil.... Are you fine?

Neil looked at her and closed his eyes for a sec taking a deep breath, then opened his eyes and nodded.

Mini knew he wasn't, as his face was still deprived of his peaceful smile.

Mini looked around and saw people looking at them. They dispersed seeing Mini looking at them with a sarcastic look.

Mini made Neil sit on the chair and sat beside him holding his hand.

Mini: Kya baat hai Neil?... Kuch bola hai usne tumse?

Neil couldn't speak what he had heard for her at their first encounter and why he was so angry when Ritwick looked at Mini lustfully. His fists clenched in anger.

Neil: Nahi..... Kuch nahi...

Mini sensed there is something but he will not speak so she decided to just calm him down.

Mini: (rubbing his arm) Calm down.... Everything is fine na... Kyu itne gusse me ho ab?... He's gone... get him off your head too... Relax.... Neil Oberoi.

Neil: Hmm....

Arya and Keya also came to the cafe till then.

They heard Mini's words. Arya kept her hand on Mini's shoulder and Keya kept her hand on Neil's and both asked the same question.

Arya and Keya: Kaun aaya tha?... Neil/Daddy gusse me kyu tha/the?

Neil and Mini shocked turned back and saw both girls tensed. 

Neil: (fake smiled to vanish off their tension) Kuch nahi... aisehi.... ek bevakoof tha.... tum dono kyu tension le rahi ho....

Mini: Abhi batao ki kya karna hai?..... Kuch khaoge?

Both: Ha... bahot bhook lagi hai...

Neil: Kya khaogi bolo?...

Both girls told what they wanna eat and Neil came with their order.

All four enjoyed their lunch and Mini saw Neil getting normalised again, then they went to a park.

All were playing in the park when Keya asked for water and their water bottle was over.

Neil went to get a bottle of water when Isha called him.
