Mini woke up in some time and saw Neil was sitting beside her caressing her head.

Mini: Good Morning Neil.

Neil: Good Morning Mini Madam. Bahot late tak so li ho aaj... 11 baj rahe hai pata hai... Aaram se baitho main Nurse ko bulaata hu... redressing karni thi par tum so rahi thi to vo chali gayi thi.

He helped Mini sit comfortably and got her injuries redressed by the nurse.

Mini saw him going out and then he returned after a few mins with a bowl in a tray.

Neil: Ab kaisa lag raha hai Mini?.... Kahin pain hai?.... Koi aur problem?

Mini: Nahi... Koi problem nahi hai... I am fine.

Neil: (sitting on the stool beside her bed) Hmm..... To breakfast karlo... Main le aaya hu...

Bobby also came and sat beside her bed after making Arya sit on the bed infront of her.

Mini saw soup in the bowl.

Mini: Yaar yeh itna bakwaas kyu hai yaha ka khaana.... Mujhe nahi khaana...

Neil: (forwarding a spoonful) Tumko ko aadat ho gayi hai har waqt tasty khaane ki.... isiliye yeh bakwaas lag raha hai...

Mini: Nahi.... (frowned) Abhi nahi khaa...

Neil fed her the spoonful before she could complete.

Neil: Shhh... Bilkul chup.... Abhi kha lo shaanti se... Kal hi bola na.... Ghar jaane ke baad karna nakhre...

Mini gave him a sharp look. Arya and Bobby chuckled.

Mini: (after gulping down) Don't try to act smart with me... Neil Oberoi.

Neil: (teasingly while feeding her) Main koshish thodi na kar raha hu... Main to....

Mini: (mimicking him while making faces) Main to paida hi smart hua tha...

Neil: (teasing her) Exactly.

Mini: Yeh oversmartness bhaari padegi tumhe. Yaad rakhna. Ainvaayi chodungi nahi tumhe. Theek ho jaane do mujhe tum. Phir bataungi tumhe....

While she was saying, the soup stuck in her throat and she coughed.

Neil quickly took a glass of water and made her drink it slowly while caressing her back.

Neil: (scolding her) Shaanti se khaana bhi nahi breakfast bhi nahi kiya jaata hai tumse.... Thodi der chup ho jao na... Bola maine ki breakfast kar lo pehle phir bol lena.. Par nahi Madam ko to sunna hi nahi hai kisi ki....

Mini: Ha na... Ho gaya... Bas.. kitna daantoge?

Bobby adored their banter and felt really happy for Mini, to have Neil with her, seeing his care and support for her.

Neil then silently fed her and Mini had it with a sulking face.

Lala Uncle and Geeta Aunty came and smiled seeing them.

After the breakfast finished, Mini took a tissue from the side table and wiped her mouth.

Lala: Kaisi hai Mini tu?...

Geeta: Ab kaisa lag raha hai?

Mini: Main theek hu Lala Uncle... Geeta Aunty....

Lala: Vo jo Manmeet tha na.... usko jail me dalwa ke aaya hu threatening ke case me.... ab tu bilkul chinta mat kar.

Mini: Aapko kaise pata.... Manmeet ne?

Neil: Maine bataya tha... kal raat jab haveli gaya tha tab.

Mini: Hmm... Ok...
