88. Mineil hearty convo

Suddenly it started drizzling lightly and Mineil got up from the balcony and came inside. 

They sat on the couch while sipping their coffees.

Neil: Aaj ka din kitna accha tha na... Kitna kuch badla hua sa lag raha hai life me ab...

Mini: Ya ho sakta hai nazariya badal gaya ho.... Dil se ab khush hai na.

Neil: Point hai... But bahot accha lag raha hai... ekdum sukoon sa...

Mini: Ek baat batau?

Neil: Hmm?

Mini: Sukoon to ab lag raha hai... Subah to Dadu ne heart attack hi de dena tha mujhe.... rishta bhejne wali baat karke....

Neil: Tumhe?..... Tumse pehle mujhe aa jata.... Tumhe chup dekhkar.... Main to dar hi gaya tha... Meri to jaise dil ki dhadkane hi ruk gayi thi ek min ko to...

Mini: (smiling with sarcasm) Tumhe laga ki main ha bol dungi?

Neil: Nahi.... Vo to nahi hi bologi but.... Pata nahi kyu lekin ek ajeeb sa dar lag raha tha tab....

Mini: I can understand..... But tumhe insecure hone ki kya zarurat hai?

Neil: Actually yeh dar pehle nahi tha mere man me..... lekin jis din tumne bola tha na... ki tum date pe jaa rahi ho... Vo online dating app se... Us din se shayad....

Mini laughed.

Neil: Kya hua... Has kyu rahi ho?

Mini: (gave a naughty smile) Nahi... Kuch nahi...

Neil: (confused) Batao na...

Mini: (with a chuckle) Us din to main maze le rahi thi... taiyaar to main tumhare saath jaane ke liye hi hui thi...

Neil: What?

Mini: Ha... Preet ne bola tha aisa bolne ke liye... Bahot maza aaya tha mujhe.... Tumhara childish behaviour bhi to dekhne mila tha...

Neil: Mera childish behaviour?

Mini: Scooty puncture?

Neil: Tumhe pata chal gaya tha?

Mini: Obviously Neil Oberoi....

Neil was feeling embarrassed.

Mini: Bas ab zyada embarrass hone ki zarurat nahi hai... Hota hai kabhi kabhi... Dimag kaam karna band kar deta hai tumhara.... (and laughed)

Neil adored her laughing.

Mini: Ek baat batau tumhe.... Tumhari jealous shakal dekhne layak hoti hai pata hai... Mere aur Mickey ki baatein sunne ke baad to you were damn insecure... Kya level ki jealousy thi tumhari... Insecurities tumhare chehre pe dikh rahi thi...

Neil: Tumhe tab bhi samajh aa gaya the ki maine tumhari baatein sun li hai?

Mini: Ha.. Bade maze aate hai tumhe tang karne me...

Neil: (frowning) Yaar aisa thodi na hota hai... It's so unfair.

Mini laughed and slid her hand on his cheek.

Mini: Everything is fair in love and war... Mr Neil Oberoi.

Neil's frown vanished and he got a smile.

They kept their empty coffee mugs aside.

Mini: Aao idhar.

She made him lie on the couch, kept his head on her lap and caressed his head.

Mini: Insecure feel karne ki zarurat nahi hai tumhe kisi se bhi... You know na... I am yours....

Neil: Hmmm...
