Mini: (Tears fell from her eyes, taking his hand in her) Dikhao mujhe pehle.... bakwaas mat karo...
Neil: (taking back his hand) Mat karo dressing.... Let it be...
Mini: (looking at him, tears continued to flow out her eyes) H?
Neil didn't say anything but lowered his head, clenching his fist tighter and tighter, gulping down the lump in his throat feeling the pain soothing his rage.
Mini held his face by his chin and made him face her but his gaze was still lowered.
Mini knew he must be overthinking and she obviously understands it but seeing him hurting himself was something she wasn't able to tolerate.
Mini: (furiously, wiping her face) Kya overthink kar rahe ho iss baar?.... Kis baat pe itna hurt kar rahe ho khudko?.... Main yeh sab samajhti hu ki tum..... tum bahot overthink karte ho.... aur stress le lete ho.... Par main yeh tolerate nahi karungi ki tum khud ko hurt karo... Samjhe tum?....
Neil: Gussa aa gaya tha mujhe... sochte sochte.... to...
Mini: (tears rolled down from her eyes) To khud ko kyu hurt kar rahe ho?.... Meri wajah se aisi condition hai na tumhari... mujhse bolu... mujhe daant lo... tum chaho to chilla lo... bas?.... par... khud ko to hurt mat karo.
Neil: (confusedly looked at her) Kya bol rahi ho?.... Tumhari kya galt....
Mini: (continued sobbingly) Tum... tum na.. Soye nahi ho na theek se itne dino se... Aise balcony me har roz sisakte rehte ho na..... Isiliye dimaag band ho gaya hai tumhara.... kuch bhi bevkoofi kar rahe ho....
Neil was shocked to know that she knows about him sitting in the balcony and sobbing every night.
Neil: Balcony me main baithta tha... yeh tumhe kaise pata?......
Mini: (wiping her face, lowered her gaze) Maine dekha tha tumhe.... Bahot bura laga but tumhe face karne ki himmat nahi ho rahi thi....
Neil: (confused) Mujhe face karne ki himmat?.... Matlab?.... Ek min... (keeping his hand on her cheek) Tumhe mujhe face karne ke liye himmat chahiye..?.... Mujhe?
Mini: Tum iss haalat me mere hi wajah se to ho.... Main protect nahi kar paayi na khudko.
Neil: (tears brimmed in his eyes) No Mini...
He hugged her tightly, keeping her head on his torso, close to his heart. She felt his pain in his heavy voice.
Neil: Tumhari isme kya galti hai?.... It's my fault.... Main kuch bhi nahi kar paaya.... I was not able to protect you..... I knew that.... that rascal Ritwick had lust for you..... But still I was not able to save you from him... Tum itne dinon se itne pain me thi.... depression me thi... stitches... bruises... burns.... scratches..... torture.... what not.... Main kuch bhi nahi kar paaya tumhare liye.... Tumhe itna kuch meri wajah se jhelna pada Mini.... Na main tumhe lekar aata.... Ritwick ke ghar.... Na vo tumhe vaise dekhta.... Na tumhare liye aisa sochta... aur na yeh sab hota...
Mini: (was confused at how can he blame himself for everything that happened)... Neil! Are you even listening what you are speaking. Isme tumhari galti kaise hai?
Neil: Meri hi galti hai Mini....
She parted and held Neil's face.
Mini: To phir suno.... Tumhe Ritwick ke ghar jane ko bola kisne tha... Maine.... Tum mujhe lekar nahi ja rahe the.... Baat kisne nahi maani... Maine... How can you blame yourself ?
Neil: Vo sab tumne jaan kar thodi kiya Mini.
Mini: To tum kya trikaldarshi ho?... Tumhe pehle se pata tha kya?... Tumne bhi to jaan kar kuch nahi kiya na Neil..... Yeh bhi to ho sakta tha na ki Ritwick ne mujhe randomly spot kar liya hota... kuch bhi ho sakta tha na...
