Part 1


A 5 year old girl was tugging dupatta of her mom who was busy in her shopping. "Yes, what happen Mini?" asked Babita. 

"Mom, look ice cream. I want one." Said excited 5 year old little Mini pointing towards a ice cream vendor on bi cycle. 

"Mini cant you see I am busy. I'll get you one in the evening." Babita chided her and asked the shopkeeper to show sarees in red color. 

"Look mom, he is going. I want ice cream now." Mini started crying. 

"Offo, ye ladki bhi na....Behenji aap saree dekhiye main abhi aati hoon." Babita said to Sharda with whom she had come for shopping. 

"Arre Babita, tum baitho na." Sharda held Babita's hand and called her son.

 "Neil, come here Beta." 

"Yes mom, now what is it? replied her 11 year old tall and charming boy Neil. 

 "Please don't ask me again about your sarees. To me all looks same." Neil rolled his eyes at her mom. 

"I am not asking you about sarees. See Mini wants ice cream. She is disturbing Babita again and again. So you take her and get her an ice cream and look after her." Sharda said while giving money to Neil. 

"What? As if it was not enough that you dragged me with you for carrying your shopping bags now you want me to babysit that girl." Neil retorted back as he felt the task of babysitting little girl was repulsive.

 "Come on Neil, just help us out me and your aunt Babita has lot of shopping to do for todays function." Requested Sharda.

 Neil sighed, "Ok first and the last time." Neil said as he held Mini's hand and started dragging her with him. 

"Mom!" Shouted Mini on being dragged like this." 

"Don't worry Mini, Neil will get you an ice cream and bring you back safely."Babita assured her.


Mini looked up at Neil. He was not only taller than her but also taller than most of the boys of his age. "What are you looking at kid?" asked Neil as he noticed Mini. 


Mini just shook her head in no and pointed towards the ice cream vendor who had already started riding his bicycle and was going away from their reach. "Oh be quick we have to run" Neil said and started running holding Mini's hands but little Mini's legs gave away as she could not run fast. 

She stopped, "I cannot run any more. Now I cant have my ice cream the ice wala bhaiyya is gone" Mini started crying. 

"Hey stop crying ok. People are looking at you. Don't create scene." Neil chided her getting embarrassed. 

Mini started crying loudly now on being scolded. "Ok...ok...stop crying. I have an idea." Neil said and picked up Mini in his arms and placed her on a nearby stairs of a shop. Then he turned around asked her to climb on his back for a piggy back ride. Mini instantly liked the idea and she excitedly climbed on his back holding him around his neck. Neil made sure she has held him tight and he started running after ice cream vendor.
