MiNeil story Ruhani Ishq

Part 4

Part 4

In the morning again everyone was sitting in the living room to figure out a way to come out of all the mess. Sharda and Devrath also invited Hanuman and Babita as whatever decision would be taken would also affect Mini's life. 

Again the round of discussions, debates and blames went on for sometime with no result then Hanuman singh spoke, "Look Sharda and Dev, I understand that its difficult for you to give Mini's place to anyone else but me and Babita thought a lot on this matter and we have come to a conclusion that Mini's happiness is of foremost importance to us. Its true that she wants to marry Neil but when Neil doesn't love her when he will not be happy with her then how come he will keep Mini happy. In the long run Mini will not be happy and we don't want this. Let Neil marry whoever he wants to. Mini will be heart broken may be even depressed for sometime but we will handle her somehow." 

"Hanuman, what are you talking?" Devrath tried to argue 

But this time Babita spoke in between. "Dev maan jaiye please. I know you have loved Mini not less than Neil but please understand dono baccho ke liye yahi achha hoga."

Neil felt immensely guilty by looking at the sad faces of Mini's parents. "Uncle aunty, I am so...sorry...Mini..I didn't...I am so sorry..I cant...." Neil tried to say but words didn't come out of his mouth. 

"Its ok beta. Its not your fault, we understand that. In fact some where we elders are responsible for this situation. Whenever young Mini used to express her desire to marry you or whenever she expressed her love then instead of making her understand we use to encourage her. We didn't know when the little innocent joke became the reality of our life. Our families have known each other from the longest time. We were only happy to think that both of our children will get married but we didn't know such situation will arise before us." Replied Hanuman.

"But still, in between all this Mini is the one who is going to be affected most. I have always considered her as my daughter. So I give her the right to take final decision on this matter." Declared Devrath. 

"What do you mean dad?" asked Neil. 

"You have to ask for Mini's permission to get marry to Isha. If she gives you permission then we are ok with it but if she denies then we will never allow this marriage. Even if you marry without our consent we will never accept you in our life." Devrath said with finality. Before anyone could say anything Sharda also supported her husband in this matter. 

"What the hell? Ab wo behenji decide karegi ki hamari shadi ho sakti hai ya nahi?" said Isha in anger. 

"Isha, mind your language."Neil reprimanded. 

"Aur mom dad theek keh rahe hain....after all she is going to suffer the most in this situation so we should at least give her that much respect that we should take her opinion or permission on it." Neil said further. 

"Uncle, when I can meet Mini?" asked Neil.

 "Aaj nahi beta. Uski haalat theek nahi hai abhi. Kal se na kuch khaya hai na piya hai bas ro ro ke apni tabiyat kharab kar li hai. Subah hi doctor check kar ke gaye hain. She is having high fever. Uski tabiyat theek ho jane do....hume thoda samay do use samjhane ka...phir mil lena usse." Replied Hanuman Singh getting emotional for his daughter. Neil couldn't even look them in the eyes as he nodded his head in yes.
