A week passed like this. Preet and Bobby were not able to come due to some urgent work. Sukh was much better than before. Neil's continuous efforts had brought improvement in Mini's physical state but emotionally, she was the same. His hope was shattering. At night, Mini was sitting on the bed, lost in thoughts. Neil came, sat besides her, put his head on her lap and wrapped his arms around her waist. She looked at him.

Neil: I am sorry Mini

Neil: I am sorry Mini. Maine tumse promise kiya tha, I will always be with you, I will always be your side, to protect you, to support you. But I failed to keep my promise. I failed miserably as a companion. I am sorry.

Mini made him sit.

Mini: It wasn't your fault Neil. Kisi ka koi fault nahi tha.

Neil: Agar kisi ki koi galti nahi thi, toh phir saza bhi nahi milni chahiye. Tumhara iss kadar react naa karna, kitna dard deta hai mujhe. Tumhari yeh changed form mere liye sabse badi punishment hai Mini. Mai tumse zindagi bhar maafi mangne ke liye taiyaar hoon. Par please, mujhe meri pehli wali Mini wapas de do, that innocent, goofy, angry, adorable girl.

She looked at him with teary eyes. Neil knew she had this urge to cry her heart out. He hugged him and she broke down in tears.

Her pain was unbearable for him, tears were flowing from his eyes as well

Her pain was unbearable for him, tears were flowing from his eyes as well. But he didn't let her know.

Kaisa tera pyar si
Kaisi oh jagah si
Dass kivein kitti tu
Mere layi dua si
Jo tere nehde aaun lag gayi
Tu kithe jaake mangeya si mainu
Jo enna tainu chaun lag gayi
Tu kithe jaake mangeya si mainu
Jo enna tainu chaun lag gayi

Mini (in between her sobs): Why are you like this Neil? Itna sab kuch hone ke baad bhi tumne mujhse ek sawaal nahi kiya, itna support kiya, itna trust kiya mujhpe, itna dhyan rakha and you even prayed for me. Why are you like this Neil Oberoi? I hate you.

Neil: Shh.. relax, sab theek hai. Remember I told you once, I will always hate you. I still do.

They parted. He kept his palm on her cheek.

Mini: Unn dono kaa kya hua?

Neil: They are under arrest. But, it is not sufficient for the heinous act they have done. I will make sure they get severely punished. Lekin ab tum, koi stress nahi logi. Okay?

Mini: 😊

Neil: Good night.

He was about to go.. but turned back.

Neil: Mai woh .. mai soch raha tha, if you are feeling better, kal kahin chalein?

Mini: Kahan?

Neil: Aise hi, kahin bhi, for a change.

Mini: Okay. 😊

Tu mainu khushi ditti
Sohne saare jag di
Enni taan main sohni nai
Jinni tainu lagdi
Koshishan main kittiyan ke
Kara na pyar ve
Teriyan duawan agge
Zid gayi haar ve
Hunn tainu main manaun lag gayi
Tu kithe jaake mangeya si mainu
Jo enna tainu chaun lag gayi

Next evening, he got ready and was waiting for her. She came, wearing a beautiful dress. He looked at her lovingly.

Mini: What happened?

Neil: Haan.. nahi kuch nahi.. chalo let's go.

He was about to go. She held his hand.

Mini: Ab chalo.

They went near a beautiful spot to spend some alone time together.

Mini: Agar humein aise hi baithna tha, toh hum ghar par bhi baith sakte the. Sukh bhi nahi hai ab toh wahan.

Neil: Tumhe bahar aane ka mann nahi tha kya? Well I don't care, mujhe bahar aana tha so..

Mini: Ofcourse mujhe bahar aana tha yaar.

Neil: Toh itne sawal kyun karti ho?

Mini: Tumne hi toh kaha tha kal ki .. mujhe meri pehli wali Mini dedo and all those sentimental talks... (Neil glared her) Aur nahi toh kya? Ab bol rahi hoon toh tumhe problem hai. Better hai mai chup hi rehti hoon, pehle ki tarah...

Neil: Never.. never say like this. You don't know how I spent the last week. Those seven days were the most difficult days of my life. Kitna aasan hai tumhare liye kehna ki .. leave it. (His eyes became teary)

Mini: Arrey, kya baar baar rone lag jaate ho. I am really sorry, I know and I understand how difficult it was.

She hugged him.

On the way back

On the way back..

Mini: Tumne Patiala mein kisi ko bataya toh nahi naa?

Neil: Abhi tak toh nahi. But I called Preet and Bobby, they weren't able to make it last week but..

The phone rang.. it was Preet.

Mini: Haan Preet Kaure!

Preet: Tum dono kahan ho?

Mini: Tere piche.

Preet turned.

Preet: MINI! after so long. Kitna miss kiya humne tujhe pata hai. Wait a second, teri dress toh badi sundar hai. Tum dono kahan gaye the?

Mini (whispered in her ear): Hum dono akele, kahan jayenge Preet Kaure?

Preet: Oh! On a date?

Mini: Haan😁

They all went inside.

Happy reading. ❤️
