Next 2 days, Neil was managing at the restaurant while Mini was at the haveli because she had to do some preps before rejoining the company so that her work remains up to the mark as it has always been. 

Mini saw Neil getting exhausted and was careless about his health. 

In the morning,

Like usually in the past fortnight, Neil woke her up before her alarm does and they sent Arya to school. They were returning back to the haveli after dropping Arya.

Mini: Neil...

Neil: Hmm...

Mini: You are not going to the restaurant today!

Neil: H?... What?

Mini: (getting in the haveli) Yes!..... You are going to your room and get proper sleep. It's been 15 days yaar.... I didn't saw you sleeping peacefully at night like before. 

Neil: I am fine.

Mini: (sternly) Abhi agar you want to get beaten up by me then you can continue making your lame excuses.

Neil: Ok!.... Fine!.... I am going!

Mini: Good.
