Neil picked up the video call.

Arya: Hello, Neil, Veer Balika kidhar hai?

Mini: Mai yahin hoon chhutanki.

Arya: Tumhara interview kaisa raha?

Dadu: Arrey haan Mini, sab theek toh hai naa?

Mini: Hanji Dadu, sab ekdum theek hai.

Dadu: Teri naukri ka kya hua?

Mini: Job is fixed!!

Naeem Bi: Mujhe toh pehle hi pata tha ki teri naukri pakki hai. Allah rehem kare.

Dadu: Mubarak ho. Ab bas tu apne kaam par dhyan de. Kab se shuru hai?

Mini: 2 din baad.

Biji: Tum dono pareshan lag rahe ho, kya hua? Sab theek hai naa?

Neil: Ji Biji, sab theek hai.😬

Biji: Mujhe kuch gadbad lag rahi hai. Mini, tu bata?

Mini: Kuch nahi Biji, bas Neil ko haath pe kuch lag gaya toh ...

Biji: Haye Haye, zyada toh nahi lag gayi?

Neil: Nahi nahi, aap sab fikr mat kijiye. I am fine.

Naeem Bi: Chalo tum dono aaram karo, time bhi zyada ho gaya hai.

Next morning, Mini woke up and went downstairs. Neil was standing near the main door.

Mini: What happened Neil?

Neil: Hi! Good morning. Woh actually lock change karwa raha tha.

She smiled.

Mini: Show me your hand.

She made him sit and started to open the bandage.

Mini: It seems better now. Feeling good?

Neil: Very good. Acha, mai aaj patiala wapas jaa raha hoon. Restaurant mein bhi kaafi kaam hai. But I will come back in a week, tumhare saare saman ke saath. So just make a list, tumhe jo bhi chizein chahiye..

And then he looked into her eyes which told him that she was already missing him. He held her hands.

Neil: Mini, what happened?

Mini: Nothing.

Neil: See, I don't want ki tumhe kisi bhi tarah ki disturbance ho.

Mini: I know, you are doing everything for me. But, you can't stop me from missing you.

Neil: It means you will miss me?

Mini: Yes I will.

Neil: But I won't 😁

Mini: Tumse naa, baat karna hi bekaar hai.

Neil: Toh mat karo. (He went inside the room)

Mini: 😯

After sometime, he came with his bag.  She stood up, he looked at her.

Do, pal ruka, khwaabon ka kaarvaan
Aur phir chal diye tum kahaan ham kahaan
Do pal ki thi, ye dilon ki daastaan
Aur phir, chal diye, tum kahaan, ham kahaan

Neil: Kitchen kaa toh sab tumhe pata hi hai. Ghar par sirf groceries aur utilities deliver karne koi aayega. He will come in the morning. So, baaki time, gate lock rakhna. It is important for your safety. I will take your leave.

He started walking towards the main gate. She had tears in her eyes.

Tum the ke thi koyi ujli kiran
Tum the ya koyi kali muskaayi thi
Tum the ya tha sapnon ka tha saawan
Tum the ke khushiyon ki ghata chhaayi thi
Tum the ke tha koyi phool khila
Tum the ya mila tha mujhe naya jahaan

She ran and hugged him from back.

He stopped

He stopped. His heart melted with her touch. He turned towards her and looked straight into her teary eyes. He cupped her face with his hands.

Neil: I will miss you. But, remember I said...

Mini: You said, "you belong to me" and "my soul resides with you". Iss tarah, we are together. Come soon.

Neil: I will, I promise.

Tum the yaa khushboo hawaaon mein thi
Tum the ya rang saari dishaaon mein the
Tum the ya roshni raahon mein thi
Tum the ya geet goonje fizaaon mein the
Tum the mile ya mili thi manzilein
Tum the ke tha jaadoo bhara koyi sama

He held her little finger as a sign of promise. She gave a little smile with tears in her eyes.

He started moving towards the door

He started moving towards the door. Their interlocked fingers, started to loosen, and parted afterwards.

He left and she went inside the house. As instructed by him, she locked the door. After doing a bit of organisation of the house and some pre requisites for the job, she went to sleep, and then she got his call.

Mini: Hello! Have you reached?

Neil: Yes, I have. You don't need to worry. Had dinner?

Mini: Yes, tum bana ke toh gaye the sab.

Neil: Haan par kal se tumhe khud karna hai sab.

Mini: I know, bas ek problem hai.

Neil: What?

Mini: Ghar par toh mujhe subah Arya yaa fir Rani Di aake jaga deti thi. But yahan.. kal pehla din hai aur mai late ho gayi toh?

Neil: Wait a second. Don't ask me to wake you up. Mujhe meri subah ki neend chahiye.

Mini: Tum subah der tak sote toh nahi reh jaoge naa?

Neil: Ho bhi sakta hai. Tum jo nahi ho uthane wali.

Mini: Zyada makhan mat lagao mujhe.

Neil: Okay fine, you go to sleep. I will wake you up. Hmm?

Mini: Hmm.

How will be Mini's first day? Comment down.
