The next day......

Mini: (to Neil) Tum aa gaye?

Neil: Yeah, Ofcourse.....

Mini: Mai soch rahi thi ki aaj ke liye drop kar sakte hai kya?

Neil: Haan kar toh sakte hai...... you are fine naa? I mean....

Mini: Haan bas zyada kuch nahi, mai woh painting laga rahi toh.....

Neil: Oh, So tumhe nail laga hai?

Mini: Haan zyada nahi laga.....

Neil: Lekin yeh toh bahut deep hai..... You need to go for tetanus.

Mini: WHAT? PAR KYUN?

Neil: Jab iron ki cheezien lagti hai toh you have to go for tetanus.....

Mini: Nahi nahi.... Injection ki kya zaroorat hai? Zaroorat hi nahi hai.... Aise chhoti chhoti cheezien toh lagti rehti hai, haina? Hum abhi kitchen mein chalte hai.....

Neil: Arre but...... One second, tumhe.....

Mini: No no.... mujhe injection se darr nahi lagta..... bilkul bhi nahi.....

Neil: I didn't mention that.....

Mini: 😶

Neil: Means tumhe lagta hai..... Tum chalo, kuch nahi hota, trust me......

Mini: Yaar nahi please...... mai nahi jaa sakti..... Injection! NO, NO, Please nahi!

Neil: Ok fine... ek baar baitho toh sahi......

She sat down.

Mini: Bolo?

Neil: Reason kya hai injections se darne ka?

Mini: Yaar reason kya hota hai? Tumhe bhi toh spiders se darr lagta hai..... uska koi reason hai?

Neil: Haan reason yeh ki.... They are creepy, they can bite you jiski wajah se skin pe rashes ho jate hai jo ki I can't bear..... Injections ka toh pata bhi nahi chalta.....

Mini: Injections pehle hamari body mein ghusate hai.... phir uska woh liquid aise nerves mein behta hai and......

Neil: Arre itna detail mein mat jao.....

Mini: Arre you don't know...... Ek baar bacchpan mein mujhe 5 injections lage the, woh bhi alag alag jagah.....

Neil: Yahaan ke doctors bahut ache hai.... kuch feel hi nahi hota.

Mini: Mai injections nahi lagwa sakti.....

Neil: Ok Fine...... ek kaam karte hai.... let's go on a walk....

Mini:  Walk?

Neil: Haan..... Walk is good for health. Chalte hai, thodi baat vaat kareinge.... Humne kaam ke ilawa kabhi aise baat nahi kari.... So chalo.....

Mini: Ok......

They went on a walk.... (Basically to the clinic🤭)

Mini: Tumhe spider ke ilawa aur kisi cheez se daar nahi lagta naa?

Neil: Human is more dangerous than these little creatures.... Yeh creatures toh itne chhote se hote hai aur voh baas apne khane ke liye karte hai jo bhi karna hota hai inhe but insaan..... woh toh itne selfish tareeke se use kar leta hai dusre ko...... Not everyone, but kuch log hote hai aise.....

Mini: Aur aise logon ko kuch kicks aur punches ki zaroorat hoti hai.... Aise logon se khud ko protect karna bahut important hai.

Neil: Haan... woh person to person depend karta hai..... Kuch log protect kar lete hai khud ko toh kuch ignore kar dete hai I mean, I generally ignore them until and unless kuch bahut serious ho jaye toh....

Mini: Aise logon ko ignore nahi karna chahiye.....Itne shareef mat bano. I think that you need karate classes from me.... Actually this is a good idea, tum mujhe cooking sikhao aur mai tumhe karate sikhati hun.

Neil: Nahi nahi uski koi zaroorat nahi hai.... I can protect myself.

Mini: Acha? Toh mai tumhe abhi ek punch marti hun and you protect yourself.....

Neil: Punch? Idhar?

Mini: Haan..... 

Neil: Ok...

But instead, she kicked him and he fell down. (Road par nahi the....)

Neil: Kya hai yeh? Punch ki baat hui thi, tumne kick....

Mini: Yahi toh baat hai naa..... koi tumhe bata ke thodi naa marega....

Neil: (standing up) Alright....ARRE JALDI CHALO, WOH BAND HO JAYEGA!

Mini: Kya?

Neil: Nahi.... I mean to say ki jaldi chalo, warna late ho jayeinge....😬

Mini: 🤨

After some time they reached the clinic and Neil stopped.

Mini: Kya ho gaya? Ruk kyun gaye?

Neil: Pahunch gaye naa hum....

Mini: Kahaan? OH MY GOODNESS! NEIL OBEROI! Yaar this is not done.... Mai nahi jaungi andar....

Neil: Arre! Kuch nahi hota...... Yeh doctor bahut ache hai...

Mini: Tumhare saath saath doctor ki bhi pitai hogi.... I swear!

Neil: Isme bechare doctor ki kya galti hai? Woh toh baas apna kaam...... ARRE MAI KYUN MAAR KHAUNGA! MERI KYA GALTI HAI? Acha fine,  I promise you..... agar tumhe zara saa bhi dard hua toh mai tumse sau baar mafi manguga. Yeh doctor sach mein bahut ache hai...... Jab bhi hamari family mai koi bimaar padhta hai toh hum idhar hi aate hai.... Mai bhi idhar hi aata hun, Mom bhi idhar hi aati hai aur Dad bhi idhar hi aate the..... Infact Vani ko bhi idhar hi....

And his facial expressions changed....

Mini: What happened?

Neil: (in a serious tone) Dekho, I can't force you.... but this is related to your health and it is important.....Ek baar mujhpe trust kar ke dekho, aur chalo....

Mini: Ok Fine.....

After some time they came out.

Mini: You were right, zara sa bhi pain nahi hua..... Thank you so much!

Neil: You are most welcome, Mini Madam! Acha mai tumhe ghar thak drop kar deta hun, then I will go back...

On their way back, he did not say anything and only replied with "hmm" or "okay". Mini was very confused because of his behaviour.

Any guesses about the next part? Comment down.
