At evening,
Neil, sipping coffee, was playing board games with Arya as she couldn't go out to play as Neil couldn't send Arya alone to the play area nor could leave Mini alone in the haveli because Manmeet was out of the jail now.
Mini woke up after a sound sleep.
Mini: Neil!
Neil got up and came upstairs to her.
Neil: Ha bolo.
Mini: Bahot bhook lagi hai... Dinner me kya hai?
Neil: Abhi laata hu...
He came with her dinner and Arya also sat beside her with her drawing book.
She sat with Mini so that she doesn't feel bored, Mini was also adoring her but then noticed Neil was pressing his head and closing his eyes while clenching his fists for a few secs in regular intervals.
Mini: Neil?.... Are you fine?
Neil: H?... Ha... Main theek hu...
Mini: Tumhe kha liya?
Neil's face expressions clearly stated that he didn't.
Mini: (to Arya) Dinner tumhare saath nahi khaaya Neil ne?
Arya: Are mere saath to kal se kuch nahi khaaya..... Neil yahi bol raha hai ki mood nahi hai abhi.... Parso raat ko bhi mujhe khila kar hospital aa gaya tha....
Mini: (worried) Tumne parso raat se nahi khaaya?
Neil: (lowered his gaze while accepting) Mood nahi tha mera.... Headache tha to coffee pi li thi maine.... Aaj dinner serve bhi kiya tha par phir cover karke rakh diya tha... man nahi hua to..
Mini: Paagal waagal ho gaye ho kya?... 2 din se khaane ka mood nahi hai.... Aise kaise chalega... Main nahi dekhungi to tum khaana bhi nahi khaoge kya... (to Arya) Lekar aao to zara iska plate... Yeh to idiot hai ek number ka.
Arya came with his plate.
Mini: mere sprain nahi hota na... to batati tumko acche se... (to Arya) Abhi to tum hi khila do...
Neil: Par m..
Mini: (scolding him) Shut Up!... Kuch nahi sunna hai mujhe... muh kholo abhi... bakwaas nahi chahiye bilkul.
He opened his mouth and Arya fed him, chuckling at him, as he was getting scolded by Mini.
Arya fed him the whole plate of dinner and he ate silently getting sharp looks from Mini.
After the dinner,
Neil: Sorry.
Mini: I don't want your sorry.... Lekin aaj ke baad aise (mimicking him) man nahi tha mera... wala natak kiya to bahot maar khaoge...
Arya: (yawning) Ab mujhe neend aa rahi hai to main sone ja rahi hu... Good Night.
Mineil: Good night.
Arya went to sleep.
Mini: Take me to the room.
Neil lifted her up and took her to her room and made her sit comfortably on the bed with pillows underneath her sprained foot and hand.
Mini: Headache hai na?
Neil: Tum tension mat lo... it's manageable...
Mini: Ek bowl me thoda coconut oil garam karke lekar aao... jao.
Neil: Par...
Mini: Mujhe abhi kuch nahi sunna hai... Bola na maine...
Neil: Ok.
