Mini's phone rang, it was Preet's call.

Neil silenced the call immediately so that her sleep does not get disturbed and came out of her room to keep the phone outside.

Her phone rang again.

Neil thought whether he should pick it up or not.

Her phone rang again.

He picked it up.

Preet: Hi Mini.

Neil: Main Neil bol raha hu Preet....

Preet: Mini ka phone tumhare paas hai?..

Neil: Ha.. vo Mini ko bukhar hai... vo so rahi thi... aur itni baar tumne call kiya to mujhe laga tumhe inform kar du...

Preet: Kitna temperature hai?

Neil: 102.5 tha thodi der pehle...

Preet: Main aati hu abhi.

Neil: Hmm..

She came to the haveli. Neil was keeping the wet handkerchieves on her forehead when she entered.

She smiled at them and clicked a cute photo of both of them.

Preet sat on the other side of the bed.

Neil: (as slow as whispering) Tum pattiyan rakh do... main lunch dekh leta hu..

Preet nodded.

She kept the wet handkerchieves and Neil went in the kitchen.

Mini opened her eyes lightly.

Preet: Ab kaisa feel kar rahi hai tu?

Mini sat on the bed.

Mini: Much better.

Preet: Lunch karegi?

Mini: Hmm.. (sneezed)

Preet: Ek min...

She went to the kitchen.

Neil was cooking parathas.

Preet: Mini uth gayi hai.... bol rahi hai lunch kar legi...

Neil: Kaisi tabiyat hai ab uski?

Preet: Tum khud hi aake puch lo...

Neil came to her room with the lunch.

He kept the plates on the bed.

Neil: Ab kaisa lag raha hai?

Mini did not say anything and turned her face to the other side.

Neil was confused.

Neil raised his eyebrows to ask Preet about what happened to her now?

Preet: Abhi maine pucha to much better bol rahi thi... ab pata nahi aise kyu behave kar rahi hai..

Neil: Kya hua hai?... Aise kyu react kar rahi ho?

Mini: Preet bol de iss se.... Mujhe baat nahi karni.... Chala jaaye yeh yaha se... Nahi to peet dena hai maine isko.

Neil understood. He rolled his eyes and sighed. Preet was confused now.

Neil: Accha fine... lunch kar lo.... main jaa raha hu...

He went out again. Mini started eating the lunch.

Preet: Main abhi aati hu...

She also came out.

Neil was sitting on the couch looking at his phone.

Preet: Kya hua?... Jhagda hua hai kya?

Neil: Jhagda kaha... Mini Madam jhagde ke baad to normal rehti hai... abhi to naraaz hai... lagta hai 1-2 din tak baat nahi karegi..... (in mind) manaana padega lagta hai ab...
