Next day, Mini was getting ready for the wedding. Neil came to her room. She looked him from the mirror.

Mini: Hmm?

Neil sat beside her and was looking at her intensely.

Mini: Aise kya dekh rahe ho?

Neil: Meri marzi mai jahan bhi dekhu. 

Mini: 🤨

Neil: Aur kya? My eyes, my Mini, my wish.

Mini: Excuse me? Your Mini?

Neil: Haan toh, koi shaq hai tumhe?

Mini: Mujhe toh nahi hai par tumhe hai shayad. Right?

Neil: Don't remind me of that please and I am really sorry once again. Woh sab reflex action mein ho gaya bas.

Mini: Fine. Apology accepted. Now go, don't disturb me. I am getting ready.

Neil: Mai uske liye hi toh aaya tha.

Mini: What?

He held her foot and placed it on his knee. He took out a beautiful pair of anklets from his pocket and made her wear it one by one. She just looked at him.

Neil: Do you like it?

Mini: Beautiful. But you should take it back.

Neil: Arrey kitni baar sorry bolna padega?

Mini: Uske liye nahi keh rahi idiot.

Neil: Then what's the issue?

Mini: Woh, yaar mujhse ek gift toh sambhala nahi gaya. The toe rings you gave me, they were so close to my heart and I lost them.

Neil: So what? Naye kharid lenge.

Mini: Emotions ki bhi koi value hoti hai.

Neil: Exactly, ab mai 'emotions' ke saath ek aur gift de raha hoon. Tumhe accept karne mein kya issue hai?

Mini: You are such a weirdo!

Neil (playing smart): Waise tumhari toe rings gayi kahan? You know what, ghar par hi hongi. You might have not searched carefully.

Mini: I have. Jab se hospital se aayi uske baad se hi nahi mili.

Neil: Kahin hospital mein toh nahi chura li kisi ne?

Mini (playing smarter): Kahin tumne hi toh nahi churayi? Kya pata tumhare paas hi ho?

Arya came inside her room.

Arya (smartest): Neil ne hi churaya hai.

Mini looked at Neil, astonished at the fact that how Arya got to know about the toe rings and everything else. He too, was confused.

Neil: Aapko kaise pata chhoti madam?

Arya: Mujhe sab pata hai.

Mini: Kya sab pata hai?

Arya: Ki Neil ne tumhara dil churaya hai. Woh tumhara hero hai naa. Aise hi toh kehte hain TV mein.

Mini: 🤦🏻‍♀️

Neil: 🤷🏻

Mini: Tum aur tumhara TV 😑 Chalo let's go.

After the wedding got completed, they all returned back. 2-3 days later, at the restaurant.

Simpy: I am sure, Mini Madam bahot khush ho jayengi.

Khursheed: Mauka hi jashn ka hai.

Geeta: Arrey, jashn ke baare mein hi toh baat karni hai.

Simpy: Itni badi achievement hai. Unhe bahot khushi hogi.

Neil was just listening to their conversation, smiling. Mini came.

Simpy: Mini Madam aap aa gaye. Aapko naa ek good news deni hai.

Mini: Hmm bolo Simpy Di.

Simpy: Aapko pata hai iss baar The Best Businesswoman of the year ka award kisko gaya?

Mini: Nahi kyun?

Simpy: Ms. Mini Babita ko.

Mini: WHAT?

Geeta: Yeh letter aaya hai, tumhare naam ka.

She opened the letter and started reading.

Mini: This is to inform you that, Patiala Babes restaurant has earned the best reviews and ratings for the  year. It has been the top priority of all the visitors, adding to the huge growth of the business. All the staff members must have worked really hard under your supervision. For your wonderful spirit, we want to award you with the title of Best Businesswoman of the Year. Kindly join us in the celebration next week.
Oh my goodness, matarani!
I.. don't know what to say..

Simpy: Aapko kuch bhi kehne ki zaroorat nahi hai Mini Madam.

Geeta: Hum samajhte hain ki tumhari Maa ke restaurant ko yahan tak laane ke liye tumne kya kya kiya. Badhai ho!

Khursheed: Mubarak ho!

Mini: Aap sabki wajah se ho paya hai yeh. This award goes to you all. Aap sab bhi celebration mein chalenge.

After everyone got busy in work, Mini came to Neil.

Neil: Congratulations, Mini Madam. 😊

Mini: Thank you, Chef Neil Oberoi. 😊

Neil: How are you feeling?

Mini: It's.. I don't know what to say. You know what, it's all because of you.

Neil: I know. Maine toh tumse kaha tha, ab mai yahan par aa gaya hoon toh dekhna, what all changes I make and I also said that Neil Oberoi ke haath ka khana ek baar koi kha ke toh zindagi bhar uska mureed ho jata hai. So as you can see..

Mini: Okay fine. Zyada tashan mat dikhao mujhe.

Neil: Tumne hi toh bola. I was just repeating my words.

Mini: No need. Acha, I was thinking ki award toh baad mein milega, ghar par sabko tabhi batayenge. Surprise?

Neil: As you wish.

Mini: And let's go somewhere in the evening.

Neil: Haan haan kyun nahi. Pehle mai yahan pura din kaam karu phir rest ke time bhi rest naa karu. 😑

Mini: 7 PM. No excuses 😏

Neil: Fine. 😁

Happy reading. ❤️
