Next morning,

Mini woke up and felt his hand on her head. She opened her eyes and saw Neil dozed off like that.

She sat up slowly without disturbing him as she knew he's not in deep sleep.

But, On the dressing table, her phone's alarm rang and Neil woke up.

Seeing her awake, Neil worriedly asked.

Neil: Kya hua?... Itni jaldi uth gayi?... Koi problem hai?

Mini: Nahi... Koi problem nahi hai.. Jaldi so gayi thi na kal... bas isiliye.

Neil: Ok.

He got up and turned off the alarm.

Neil turned to see her getting off the bed.

Neil: Kyu uth rahi ho?

Mini: Bathroom ja rahi hu.

Neil: Utho mat tum.... Main le chalta hu...

He lifted her up, took her to the bathroom and made her sit on the stool kept in the bathroom.

Neil: Main bahar hi hu... kuch problem ho to awaaz laga dena.

Mini: Hmm... Mere almirah me na right side me one piece dresses rakhi hongi... Vo le aao na.

Neil: Ok.

Neil brought her dress for her and then stood out of the bathroom.

Mini did her morning chores and opened the door of the bathroom.

Neil lifted her and took her to the bed.

He applied the prescribed ointment to her injuries and bandaged it again.

She was adoring his care for her and smiling.

Mini: Abhi Arya ko bhi bhejna hai na... Main bahar baithu?... Room me to bore ho jaungi main.

Neil: Ok.

He made her sit on the couch outside the kitchen and kept her feet on the pillow on the table and a pillow under her sprained wrist. 

Doorbell rang.

Neil went downstairs and opened the door.

It was Bobby.

Bobby: Ab Mini kaisi hai Neil Bhai?

Neil: Better hai... Blackout nahi ho raha hai ab.... Tum baitho uske paas.... Main Arya ko utha du... school bhejna hai na usko.

Bobby: Hmm...

He went upstairs.

Neil woke up Arya and went to freshen up himself.

He was making breakfast and tea when Arya came upstairs after getting ready.

Arya: Main ready ho gayi Neil.

Neil: Very Good.... ab jaldi se breakfast karlo.

He kept the tray of tea and breakfast in front of Mini, Bobby and Arya and sitting beside Mini, packed Arya's bag.

Neil: (keeping the medicine on Mini's hand and forwarded a glass of water) Breakfast se pehle dawai le lo... 

Mini: Hmm.. 

Neil made Arya's pony while she had her breakfast. 

Neil: (to Arya) Time dekho... late ho jayenge bus ke liye... Chalo choti madam... 

Arya: Hmm...

Arya got up and walked downstairs. Bobby was looking at her. Neil picked up her bag and her water bottle and was about to walk ahead but still glanced at Mini.
