Mini: To tum kisi ko bhi iss room me aane nahi dete the?.... Isha ko bhi nahi?
Seeing Neil's face a little saddened all of a sudden, Mini realised she should not have taken her name as it is still a scar for him.
Neil: Nahi.... Isha ko to lagta tha ki yeh store room hai... Usko kaha interest tha un yaadon me ya aisi baaton me... Kholta hi nahi tha main yeh room kisi ke saamne... (looking around the room) itni strong memories jo hai iss room me.... maa ki mere saath.... sirf mere saath.
Mini was surprised to know his feelings attached to this room and felt that she should not have entered there too as he must also enjoy his space and memories.
Mini: (smiling, patted him lightly on his shoulder) Then enjoy yourself happily.... feel the peace and serenity.... (kept her hand on his cheek) You will feel much relaxed.... main niche hi hu apne room me... Hmm?
She got up and turned to leave.
Neil was confused, he immediately intervened their little fingers seeing her leaving and stopped her.
Neil: Kyu?.... Tum kyu niche jaa rahi ho?.... Baitho na.
Mini turned with a surprised face.
Neil: Kya hua?... Aise surprised kyu ho?
Mini: Main ruku iss room me?... jisme tum kisi ko aane nahi dete?
Neil realised what she's thinking.
Neil: Are yaar tumhari baat thodi kar raha hu main... tum to aa hi sakti ho na... main isiliye kisi ko nahi aane deta tha kyunki ek dar mujhe tha ki iss room me jo memories hai vo kisi wajah se spoil na ho jaaye... You know like..... Nayi memories banane se dar lagta tha.... aur ek yeh bhi baat thi ki main jaanta tha ki koi samjhega nahi ki kyu aisa feel karta hu main iss room me.... tum to samajhti ho na mujhe?
Mini nodded and sat in front of him smiling.
Neil: I know you do... aur vaise bhi tumne hi to uss din kaha tha na mujhse ki main phir se vahi Neil ban ke dikhau.... jo khul ke jeeta tha... isiliye to ek baar phir se socha maine bajaane ka... varna mom ke jaane ke baad man hi nahi hota tha....
Mini thought to lighten up his mood.
Mini: (held his hands in her excitedly) Ek baar aur play karo na kuch... plz?
Neil: Par.... accha nahi laga to?
Mini: To main kaunsa tumhe live concert me play karne ke liye bol rahi hu... bas mere saamne na.... main thodi na judge karungi tumhe agar accha nahi bhi laga to....
Neil: (smiling nervously) Ok.....
Neil took the guitar and ran his fingers on it while singing with his tunes. He looking straight in her eyes, sang nervously.
Mangaan ae hi duavaan main
Channa tu mainu mill jaa
Tenu na bol pawaan main
Tu aape hi samajh ja (x2)
Mini was surprised.
The song perfectly matched his present condition.
Saamne baith ja takda jaaun
Akhiyon mein teri gum ho jaaun
Mujhe dhoondhe na phir koi..
She smiled, adoring him. Seeing her smile, Neil's nervousness vanished. He winked at her at the last line. She was startled.
Mangaan ae hi duavan main
Channa tu mainu mil ja
Tenu na bol pawaan main
Tu aape hi samajh ja...
He bent forward towards Mini, making her blush, by his lovely gaze.
Tu jo mere saath chale na
Manzil meri sab kho jaaye
Ik pal tu jo nazar na aaye
Dil mera haaye ghabraaye
Mini kept her hand on his cheek and looked at him lovingly. Her gentle touch made him blush, as this time, he knew he wasn't dreaming.
Jeena nahi bin tere sun tu
Mera toh haasil bas tu hi tu
Bin tere na mera koi..
She saw him singing with deeper blush on his face. She slid her fingers on his face and he closed his eyes, smiling charmingly, feeling her touch on his face.
Mangaan ae hi duavaan main
Channa tu mainu mil ja
Tenu na bol pawaan main
Tu aape hi samajh ja...
Feeling her taking back her hand, he opened his eyes and saw that Mini got up. She walked slowly to his back. He was looking at her while singing and smiling.
Tu guzre jin raahon se maahi
Apne do naino ko bichaaun
Dekh na loon main jab tak tujhko
Laut ke apne dar na jaaun
Mini leaned forward and wrapped her arms around his neck, keeping her face next to his.
Shaamil hoja mujhme yun tu
Aks jo dekhun mujhme dikhe tu
Main Ranjha Heer tu meri huyi
Both closed their eyes. He tilted his head to hers and their cheeks touched others.
Mangan ae hi duavan main
Channa tu mainu mil ja
Tenu na bol pawaan main
Tu aape hi samajh ja
They blushed together and swayed their head with the tunes. Both were smiling brightly.
Mangan ae hi duavan main
Channa tu mainu mil ja
Tenu na bol pawaan main
Tu aape hi samajh ja
He after finishing the song, smiled whole heartedly and kept his hand on her cheek.
Mini's smile widened.
Neil: So?... How was it?
Mini: Bahot mast tha..... Romantic songs to bade feel ke saath enjoy karte ho tum..... bahot saari personalities ke combination ho.... I loved it....
Neil: (looking at her lovingly) Thanks.... I am glad you liked....
He kept the guitar back and made her sit beside him.
Neil: (held her hands in his) Ek baat manogi?.... (Mini raised her eyebrows in confusion) Tum kisi ko bataogi nahi ki main guitar ya piano play kar leta hu.... Mujhe kisi aur ke saamne comfortable nahi lagega....
Mini: Ek condition pe....
Neil: (confused) Kya?
Mini: Tum phir se music ko apna stress buster banaoge...
Neil: But...
Mini: No ifs and buts... Condition meri yahi hai...
Neil: Ok! I will try.
Mini: Good! Nahi bataungi.... Tumne dinner kar liya?
