MiNeil story Ruhani Ishq

Part 7

Part 7

Neil woke up in the morning. He rubbed his eyes. He saw he was covered in blanket. He also noticed his sherwani was kept neatly folded on the chair, his shoes and watch was kept on its place. He remembered how last night Mini took care of him even after his callous treatment. Though he had said sorry and she forgave him also but still he felt ashamed of himself. He decided he will ask for her forgiveness once more. He stood up from the bed when he noticed a mattress lying on the floor. He felt more guilty thinking that Mini slept on floor because of him. 

"Poor girl must be afraid of me after what I did to her" he thought. He was lost in his thoughts when Mini's voice again captivated him in its dulcet tone.

Oh Kanha ab toh murli ki, madhur suna do taan

Main hoon teri prem deewani mujhko tu pehchaan

madhur suna do taan

sagar se bhi gehri mere prem ki gehraai

lok laaj kul ki maryada taj kar main to aai

meri preeti se oh nirmohi, ab na bano anjaan

madhur suna do taan

Oh Kanha ab toh murli ki, madhur suna do taan

He followed the sweet sound and reached the living area of the house where a temple was located in the corner. He saw Mini was praying. She had her eyes closed. He remembered their meeting in the Radha Krishna temple. She was wearing light pink color saree with golden border. Her hair were wet. She was not wearing any jewelry or accessory. It looked like she directly came to temple first to complete her pooja. Mini turned around. She found Neil in front of her just staring at her blankly. She came near him and wished him good morning which brought him out of his trance. 

She gestured with her eyes to take aarti. Neil didn't understand. 

"Aarti le lijiye" Mini said holding plate close to him. Neil took the blessings.

Mini noticed her mummyji and papaji came into the room. She went towards them and touched their feet. "Our mornings are now going to be blessed like this listening to your melodious voice. Seems like our dream is fulfilled." Said Sharda as she blessed Mini. Neil looked at his parents. They really adored Mini a lot. How come everyone knew about her feelings but only he was unaware of it. He thought then went into the room to get ready for the day. Neil came out of the bathroom and was about to search for clothes to wear when he noticed a pair of his favorite jeans and casual shirt was kept on the bed and bed was also clean and blanket folded, the extra mattress on the floor was also not there anymore. He wore his clothes. He decided to go in kitchen to ask his mother for coffee when Mini entered in the room with a tray. She handed him the coffee mug and herself sat in front of dressing table to get ready. Neil took a sip of coffee and closed his eyes in content. It was exactly made according to his taste, strong, less sweet, less froth. 

"She is doing all the wifely duties from the very next day of their marriage and here I am still struggling to accept that I am married to her." thought Neil.
