Dadu came towards Neil. He was very very angry. Mini could sense the tension in environment.

Dadu: Kya hai yeh sab? Bolo?

He held Neil's arm tightly and shook him.

Mini: Dadu...

Dadu: Nahi Mini, iss ladke ne yeh thik nahi kiya. Tumne ek baar bhi Mini ke baare mein nahi socha. Aaj jo kuch bhi hua, tumne rokne ki koshish kyun nahi ki? Bolo.

Neil: Dadu, mai k..

Mini: Maine kaha tha dadu, ki kuch bhi ho jaye, isko chup rehna hai. Kuch react nahi karna, isliye isne kuch nahi kiya.

Dadu: Bas bahot ho gaya ab tumhara. Chalo tum, iss ghar se niklo aur meri bachi ki zindagi se bhi. Chalo.

He was just standing like a statue. He couldn't even think of going away from the love of his life.

Dadu: Maine kaha jao yahan se, abhi.

Mini was also shocked on this, and wasn't able to say anything. Misunderstanding her silence, he thought she wants him to leave. So, for her, he started walking but mini held his hand.

He turned towards her.

Mini: You are not going anywhere.

Dadu: Mini, chhod uska haath. Jaane de usko.

Mini: Nahi Dadu, Neil kahin nahi jayega.

Dadu: Har baat par zid achi nahi hoti Mini.

Mini: Neil mera tenant hai,.mera kirayedaar hai, mere restaurant ka chef hai, mera dost hai. Woh kahin nahi jayega.

Neil: Mini, please don't.

She understands and calms down a bit.

Mini: Dadu, please idhar aao aap. (Takes him to the sofa) Baitho.

She sits on the floor in front of him.

Mini: Babes aur Hanuman uncle ke baad, Arya ki responsibility ke saath, agar mai aaj khushi se jee paa rahi hoon naa Dadu, toh it's because of him. Aapne mujhe khud uski help karne ki permission di thi naa? Aur aap toh jante hain ki court mein kuch bhi ho sakta hai. Usme Neil ki kya galti? Aaj Sandhu Aunty ne aur uss Khatri ne jo bhi bola, usme bhi Neil ki koi galti nahi. Aur jis bhi baat ke liye isko react karna chahiye tha aur isne nahi kiya, woh isliye kyunki maine kaha tha aisa karne ko. Agar react karna hota toh mai khud karti. Aapki poti ko protection nahi chahiye dadu, bas aapka saath chahiye. Please, Neil ko maaf kar dijiye naa. Please..

He thinks a bit and becomes emotional.

Dadu: Meri bachi kab itni badi ho gayi. Beta, mai tujhe hamesha khush dekhna chahta hoon. Kabhi tujhe rota hua, dukhi nahi dekh sakta. Mai janta hoon ki kitna kuch dekha hai tune, tu sher bacha hai mera par tera dadu utna mazboot nahi raha ab. Tujhe aur pareshaniyan khelte huye kaise dekhunga mai.

Mini: Koi pareshani nahi hai dadu. Ab toh uska pareshan hone ka time hai, jisne har ek hadd ko paar kar diya hai. Hum yeh case jitenge dadu, zaroor jitenge. But usse pehle aap Neil ko maaf kar dijiye, hmm?

Dadu came towards Neil and puts his hand on his shoulder.

Dadu: Beta, meri baat ka bura mat manna. Maine sab kuch apni bachi ke liye fikr mein aa kar kaha. Ho sake toh mujhe maaf kar dena.

Neil: Nahi Dadu, please aise mat boliye. Aap bade hain, daant sakte hain aur Mini ki fikr hai aapko isliye toh aapne aisa kiya naa. Aap bas apna aashirwad dijiye ki jo bhi problems hain, usse nikal ke hum khush reh sakein.

Dadu nodded and placed his hand on Neil's head. He smiled to him. Mini came to Dadu and hugged him while smiling. Later, they all had dinner together.

🌃 Night

Mini was sitting in the balcony thinking about ways to win the case and expose Isha. Neil came and sat beside her. She was so engrossed in thoughts that she didn't realise his presence. He had his gaze on her eyes.

Jise zindagi dhundh rahi hai,
Kya yeh woh makam mera hai,
Yahan chain se bas ruk jaun,
Kyun dil yeh mujhe kehta hai,
Jazbaat naye se mile hain,
Jaane kya asar yeh hua hai,
Ek aas mili phir mujhko,
Jo qubool kisi ne kiya hai...

He was reminiscing all those moments when she stood by him. Her support meant the world to him. All he wanted was to stay like this, for his whole life, staring at her serene face and peaceful eyes.

Kisi shayar ki ghazal,
Jo de rooh ko sukoon ke pal,
Koi mujhko yun mila hai,
Jaise banjaare ko ghar,

She realised he was there, beside her. She looked at his deep eyes which were staring her so intensely that her soul melted with his gaze. As their eyes met, he felt as if her eyes were the only home he had.

Jaise koi kinara, deta ho sahara,
Mujhe woh mila kisi mod par,
Koi raat ka taara, karta ho ujala,
Waise hi roshan kare woh sheher,
Dard mere woh bhula hi gaya
Kuch aisa asar hua,
Jeena mujhe phir se woh sikha raha,
Jaise baarish kar de tar,
Yaa marham dard par,
Koi mujhko yun mila hai...

She was reminiscing the time when they first met, their cute fights, when Neil stood by her, his support when her own family was against her, the way he consoled her, the way he comforted her. Because of him, she started to smile once again. She smiled at him breaking the eye contact.

Mini: Tum yahan?

Neil: Haan mai, woh.. tumse kuch puchna tha. (She nodded) Mini, why are you doing all this? I..

Mini: shh.. Neil, tum bas itna jaan lo, that I can't see you in this miserable state. I want ki tum khul ke saans le pao, khul ke muskura pao, khul ke jee pao, jaise mai kar paa rahi hoon, and it is because of you. You are my Anam Cara, Chef Neil Oberoi. Isliye ab zyada socho mat and smile.😊

Muskaata Yeh Chehra,
Deta Hai Jo Pehra,
Jaane Chhupata Kya Dil Ka Samandar
Auron Ko Toh Hardam,
Saaya Deta Hai,
Woh dhoop mein hai khada khud magar,

He knew how hurt and broken she was. She still thought that her love is one sided, and that's why she gave a new name to their relation. Even after being so much hurt, she was supporting him, uplifting him.

Chot Lagi Hai Usey Phir Kyun
Mehsoos Mujhe Ho Raha,
Dil Tu Bata De Kya Hai Iraada Tera,
Main Parinda Besabar,
Tha Uda Jo Darbadar,
Koi Mujhko Yun Mila Hai...

His eyes fell on her hands and feet which were wounded because she fought for him. He placed her feet on the table. She was looking at him in awe. He was examining each and every small cut and they were healing with his gaze. All she thought was,

Will the wounds of her heart ever get healed with his love?

Kya mere dil ke zakhm bhi iss tarah kabhi bhar payenge?

So, how will Mini and Neil win the case? Comment down your views. Also those who don't know, Anam Cara means "a person with whom you can share your inner thoughts and deepest fears (soul friend)".

Happy reading. 💕
