She showed her the room.
Arya came to Mini.
Arya: Veerbalika! (seeing Vaishnavi there) Yeh kaun hai?
Vaishnavi looked at her.
Vaishnavi: Aww... Kitni cute hai yeh... Hi! I am Vaishnavi, Neil's friend. (She forwarded her hand to have a handshake)
Arya: (handshaking) Hello.... main Arya Babita Hanuman Singh.
Mini: (to Vaishnavi, holding Arya by her shoulders) Meri choti behen.
Vaishnavi: to tum Veerbalika?
Mini: Mujhe Hanuman uncle Veerbalika bulaate the.... To apne papa ki tarah meri chutanki bhi mujhe Veerbalika hi bolti hai...
Vaishnavi: To tum Arya ki half sis ho?
Mini nodded.
Arya: Best half sis.
Vaishnavi smiled.
Arya: Veerbalika... Aao na do min mere saath.
Mini: (to Vaishnavi) Main aati hu... hmm?
Vaishnavi nodded.
Arya took Mini downstairs and said her to bend down.
She bent down to her height. Neil was coming from behind and heard them talking.
Arya: Tum Neil ki friend ko ghar le aayi?
Mini: Ha kyun?... Aise kyu puch rahi ho.... Tumhe accha nahi laga?
Neil stopped.
Both the sisters didn't knew Neil was hearing them.
Arya: Meine tv me dekha hai jab hero ki friend aati hai to heroine ko jalan hoti hai... Vo usko hate karti hai... Par tum to ghar hi le aayi usko... Neil ko accha lage isiliye?
Neil was also in dilemma now. What if Mini was doing it for him and was feeling insecure.
Mini sat on her knees to match her height and took Arya's hand in hers.
Mini: Un heroines ko apne hero pe trust nahi hota na isiliye..... I trust Neil.
Arya: To tumhe jealousy nahi ho rahi..
Mini: Are.. Jealous ho mere dushman.... Mujhe Vaishnavi se kya problem hogi... Why should I be jealous?....
Arya: You trust Neil?
Mini: I trust him completely.
Arya: To tumhe koi problem nahi hai?... Pakka....?
Mini: Koi bhi problem nahi hai mujhe.. Tum yeh sab dekhna band karo... Jealous nahi ho rahi and all... Bakwaas hai yeh sab... Jab relation me trust nahi hota na... to pyaar ka bhi koi matlab nahi hota... Understood?
Arya: Hmm...
Arya was contented but Neil was in thoughts now.
He saw them walking back to Mini's room.
He also went there.
Vaishnavi was trying to organise her stuff facing the other side.
Arya went to her and patted on her back.
She turned.
Arya: Friends?... (She forwarded her hand for a handshake now)
Vaishnavi smiled at her and handshaked.
Vaishnavi: Friends!
Mini adored Arya being so comfortable then but Vaishnavi yawned a little being tired.
Mini: You make yourself comfortable here... And do join us for dinner.... Then you can have a sound sleep as you must be tired.... Kal subah baat karenge saath me... kal humko vaise bhi late hi jaana hai...
Vaishnavi: Thanks.
Mini: Isme thanks wali kya baat hai?... Neil ki itni close friend ho.... itna to main kar hi sakti hu na....
Arya came to Neil.
Arya: Neil! Aaj na main tumhari help karungi dinner banane main.. Chalo..
Neil and Arya went upstairs to prepare dinner.
Mini: Kuch help kar du main?... Bahot thaki hui lag rahi ho tum...
Vaishnavi: Nahi Chalega... Vaise ek baat bolu?
Mini: Ha bolo na...
Vaishnavi: Tumse milke aisa lag hi nahi raha jaise pehli baar mili hu...
Mini: Maybe our wavelength matches....
Vaishnavi: Maybe...
Mini: Neil se itne saalon baad mili toh kaisa laga?
Vaishnavi: Aaj phir Neil ko itna khush dekha tumhare saath to bahot accha laga...
Mini: Matlab?
Vaishnavi: Neil aur maine.... dono ne 8th class me hi boarding join kiya tha.... tab se hi usko boarding school me bahot akela sa lagta tha.. Parents ko bahot miss karta tha... But to make him independent in his life... It was the decision of his parents ki vo boarding school jaye... Mujhse baat karte karte jab bhi parents ke baare me ya past childhood memories ke baare me baat hoti thi to.... maine notice kiya tha usko... Apne aansu.. Apna dard... Apne mazaak masti me chupaate hue... Us akelepan se jujhte hue.... Vo bahot khush tha 12th ke end weeks mein... because vo ab apne parents ke saath rehne jaane wala tha.... Uss time hum log jab bhi saath baith kar baatein kar rahe hote the na to excitement me kayi baar bolta tha ki ab vo apne parents se door nahi hone waala 2-3 saal tak... College ke baad bhale hi job ke liye jaana pade par college to vo delhi me hi karega... apne parents ke saath rehkar..... Exams ke baad humare kuch din hi bache the results me jab uske parents ke death ki news aayi... Phir kabhi usse contact to nahi hua par kayi baar jab yaad aati thi Neil ki tab aisa lagta tha ki kaash usko koi to mil gaya ho jo usko samjhe... Kyunki us din aisa lag raha tha jaise vo puri tarah toot gaya ho... Bilkul blank face... ek lifeless body ki tarah.... Kyunki ab uske paas uska apna kehne waala koi nahi tha na...
Mini remembered him telling this to her too.
Vaishnavi: Par aaj usko itna khush dekhkar bahot accha laga...
Mini: Ek baat puchu?
Vaishnavi: Ha pucho na...
Mini: Tum bol rahi thi ki Neil ladkiyon ke saamne bahot shy tha to tum dono ki dosti kaise hui thi?
Vaishnavi's face expression changed. Mini sensed a weird awkwardness on her face.
