Next morning, 

"Neil!" Neil heard Mini's lovely voice in his deep sleep. 

"Hmm" He responded. "Utho na" He again hummed to respond and opened his eyes lightly. Mini was sitting on the other side of the bed and patting on his cheek lightly. Neil felt his eyelids a little heavier than usual but sat up with a small smile and saw Mini vanished.

Neil: (to himself while scratching the back of his head as his daily habit) Neil Oberoi... Yaar aisa kab tak chalega?.... Stop dreaming so much.... (He again felt his eyelids a little heavier) Aaj neend bahot aa rahi hai... Alarm band karke thoda aur so jaata hu..... Huh... (scrunching his eyes, whining at himself) Uthna to padega alarm band karne ke liye bhi... Yeh phone itna dur kyu rakha hai yaar....

Arya intentionally kept his phone away from him, on the chair beside the door so that he had to get off from the bed to switch off the alarm. 

Neil got off the bed without opening his eyes and walking in a sleepy manner, came till the phone and turned off the alarm. Leaving his phone there itself, he went to the bed and lied on it again. 

It didn't take another min for another alarm to ring. Neil frowned this time and sulkingly got up again to turn off the alarm. He came to the bed again and lied on it, this time with his phone in his hand.

Another min later, one more alarm rang. Neil was hell irritated by now.

Neil: Kya problem hai yaar..... Aaj itni zyada neend kyu aa rahi hai... Aur itne alarm kyu lage hue hai?

Then finally he rubbingly opened his eyes and blinked two three times to adjust the focus and saw the time on the phone. It was 5.05. 

Neil: 5 baje?

"Main na tumhare phone pe alarm laga dungi.... aur tum Veerbalika ko utha dena... phir mandir jaana..." "tum to apni choti madam ki baat maanke uth jaoge na... Do phone mujhe..."

He remembered last night's convo with Arya.

Neil: (to himself) Uth ja Neil Oberoi.... Kabhi badi behen to kabhi choti.... Utha hi dengi tujhe.... teri kismat me subah ki neend hai hi nahi...

He got up and went to Mini's room. 

She was sleeping peacefully with a relaxed smile on her face.

Neil seeing her smile, couldn't realise his lips curving too.

He sat beside Mini and patted on her cheek.

Neil: Mini... Mini!

Mini: (holding his hand in hers, lifted her face and kept it below her other cheek on the pillow) H...

Neil: Mini.... Utho na....

Mini: H?

Neil: Are yaar.... Yeh aise nahi uthegi... 

He removed his hand slowly from below her cheek and wrapping her in his arms, made her sit, leaning on the headboard of the bed like he used to do daily and then patted her cheek.

Neil: Mini!

Mini: Hmmm..... (forwarding her hands as she used to do daily)

Neil: Ab dawaiyon ki zarurat nahi hai tumhe.... uth jao ab...

Mini: Are yaar to disturb kyu kar rahe ho... let me sleep.... bahot neend aa rahi hai aaj.... aisa lag raha hai abhi hi to soi thi... (lying on the bed, pulling the sheet on her) Sone do mujhe thodi der aur.... 

Neil: Mandir jaana hai aaj.

Mini: Kisko?

Neil: Humko Mini.... Arya gussa ho jayegi yaar...
