A week later, at the airport..

Sukh: This trip was amazing.

Mini: Seriously. Srinagar is so beautiful.

Sukh: Teri photography ke kya kehne. Badi talented hai tu toh. Arrey mera phone uss pagal Asmi ke paas hai, mai abhi le ke aayi.

She went to Asmi. Mini was standing alone. Someone kept his hand on her shoulder. She turned.

Mini: Tum?

Ritwik: Hi! Neil's nayi zindagi. Tumhara naam kya hai yaar?

Mini: Stay in your limits. Mujhse kya kaam hai tumhe?

Ritwik: Friendship karni hai.

Mini: Friendship?

Ritwik: Friends with benefits.

Mini: Shut up. Ritwik, isse pehle ki mujhe gussa aaye aur mai kuch galat kar doon, just leave from here.

Sukh: Chal Mini. Yeh kaun hai?

Ritwik: Mini.. chalo naam toh pata chala. Tum akeli rehti ho naa yahan par. Kuch bhi kaho, Neil banda bada acha hai. Kitna trust karta hai tumpe, waise hi jaise Isha pe karta tha kabhi. Usne toh uss bechare ka trust tod diya, ab tumhara kya hoga. Agar tumhare saath kuch galat ho gaya, toh phir se uss bechare kaa bharosa, tut jayega.

Mini held his collar and slapped him hard.

Ritwik: How dare you? Abhi tak toh yeh sirf ek plan tha, lekin aaj tumne confirmation de di hai. Ab tum dekhna kya karta hoon mai tumhare saath.

.. : Kya karoge Ritwik?

Ritwik: Oh Neil Oberoi! Tumhara hi intezaar tha. Tum bhi kab tak bacha loge isko. Bina tumhari protection ke kabhi toh hogi naa yeh.

Neil: Mini ko meri protection chahiye hi nahi. She is brave enough to protect herself and the people around her.

Ritwik: Hehe, let's see.

He left. Mini turned towards Neil.

Mini: Tum yahan kaise. Yahin rehne kaa plan hai kya tumhara?

Neil: Mai woh actually Keya se milne aaya tha. Phir tum aane wali thi toh socha tumhe lene aa jau.

Mini: Baat toh kuch aur hai shayad.

Neil: 😊 Tumne kaha tha naa ki wapas aane ke baad kaafi kaam hai. So, I thought I may help you in any way possible.

Mini: Hmmm, I knew it. Chalo let's go.

Next morning.

Mini: Neil, mujhe abhi office jana padega. Kuch kaam hai pure karne wale, so I will be late. But don't worry, Sukh aur mai saath mein hi honge.

Neil: Hmm...

Mini: What happened?

Neil: Kuch nahi.

Mini sat beside him and held his hand.

Mini: Why are you shivering? Are you okay? Tumhari tabiyat toh theek hai naa?

Neil: I am okay.

Mini: Neil.. look at me.

He turned his face towards her. As their eyes met, tears started flowing out of his eyes.

Mini: Kya hua hai tumhe? Why are you behaving like this?

Neil: I don't know. I am trying to be normal but I can't. Ek uneasiness, a kind of discomfort feel ho raha hai. Though there is no particular reason for this.

Mini: I know, kal jo bhi Ritwik ke saath hua, because of that? Don't worry Neil, mujhe kuch nahi hoga. Tum ho naa mere saath.

Neil: Hmm. You go, you must be getting late.

She was about to go when he held her little finger. She turned. He hugged her.

Neil: Come soon. 😊

She was totally confused with his behaviour but she went to the office.

Asmi: Oye Mini. Tera banda yahin hai yaa Patiala gaya?

Mini: 😒

Asmi: Arrey mai isliye puch rahi hoon ki agar yahin hai toh milwa de.

Sukh: Woh kyun milwaye? Uske bande pe kyun hai teri nazar?

Asmi: Koi nazar wazar nahi hai. Aur ho bhi toh mujhe pata hai ki kuch hone wala nahi hai. Usne jis tarah se bola 'I am her's now and forever' ussi se pata chal gaya that he is genuinely in love with her.

Mini: Exactly. Phir milna kyun hai?

Asmi: Dekh toh sakti hoon naa. Dekhne mein kya chala jayega?

Sukh: Hey waheguru! Agar tujhe handsome ladke dekhne hain toh dating apps pe jaa. Dusro ke bando ko dekhne ki koi zarurat nahi hai, specially Mini ke Neil ko. Mini chhodegi nahi tujhe.

Mini smiled. Later in the evening.

Mini: Sukh, ek baat bata. Agar kisi ko koi intuition hoti hai, what does it mean, according to you?

Sukh: Intuitions toh sirf apno ko hoti hain. Agar koi aapse bahot zyada connected ho, toh unhe feel hoti hain. Like, if something feels off, it is. Kyun kuch hua?

Mini: Mujhe nahi, Neil ko. Last week se, yaa shayad usse bhi pehle se. I thought maybe hum door rehte hain isliye ho raha ho. But today, he had tears in his eyes, he was shivering, I felt as if he wanted to say something but he couldn't. I don't know yaar.

Sukh: Meri mummy ka bhi phone aaya tha, she also said something like this.

Mini: Matlab intuitions have some meaning right?

Sukh: Maybe, chal yaar kaafi late ho gaya hai. Jaldi chalte hain ghar.

Mini: Chal.

"When something feels off, it is.."

What is the meaning of Neil's intuition? Comment down.
