Reaching the room, the main double bed was already a mess as they were in a hurry this evening.

Neil made Arya lie on his single bed and Mini directly went to the bathroom.

Mini entering the bathroom, taking off her clothes, started a hot shower while her mind was busy in thoughts. As the warm water touched her skin, she felt a little relaxed getting away from the endless loop of thoughts roaming in her mind.

Neil heard the shower sound from the bathroom and knew that the convo is taking a toll over her.

Taking off Arya's jacket, he tucked her under the blanket and let her sleep soundly.

Taking off his overcoat and pullover, he was keeping things back in the suitcases which Arya had spread during searching her clothes when he glanced again at the clock to realise Mini was in the shower since more than 15 mins which was not good for her health in this freezing cold temperature outside.

Neil: (knocking the door) Mini... Mini baahar aao yaar... It's not good for you... Bukhaar aa jayega tumhe.

He heard the sound of shower stopped and he sighed. In almost a min, Mini came out of the bathroom in the bathrobe. 

Her hair was dripping water. He increased the temperature of the heater in the room and quickly made some coffee while making her sit on the bed, he gave it to her.

Mini sipped the coffee slowly still lost in thoughts.

Wrapping her in the blanket, he took out a towel and rubbed her hair to dry and then put on the switch of the hair dryer. Drying even the moisture in her hair, he kept the hair dryer aside and took the empty mug from her hands.

Seeing her still zoned off, Neil patted on her cheek lightly.

Mini: (coming out of thoughts) H?

She saw Neil was looking at her worriedly. 

Mini: Main theek hu.

Neil: Theek ho isiliye itni thandi me bhi dusri baar nahayi ho?... aur to aur geele baal lekar baahar aa gayi... sukhaaye bhi nahi... tabiyat bigaadne ka shauk hai na?... Kyu soch soch ke dimaag kharab kar rahi ho?.... Baat karke bhi to sab sahi ho sakta hai na?

Mini: Main change karke aati hu..... Phir baat karenge.

Neil: Ok.

She took her clothes and went to the bathroom.

Neil shifted the suitcases on the couch with the same mess and made the bed as it could be organised the other day and Mini was his priority over anything. 

Mini came out of the bathroom softly clutching on her abdomen.

Neil: (worriedly) Pain ho raha hai?

Mini: Hmm.... (restlessly sitting on the bed) Abhi ointment lagaaya abhi to ekdum se pain shuru ho gaya... Ekdum se tees maar raha hai phir se...

Neil knew it would last just a min or two.

He took Mini in his embrace and Mini clutched on his shoulders to endure the pain. She screeched as the pain shooted above what she could have beared. 

Mini: Aaahhhhmmm... mmhhh... Ah... 

She rested her head on him and restlessly snuggled when his hand pressed her abdomen lightly.

A min later, Mini sighed out and loosened her grip in relief from the pain.

Mini: (easing up) Huh.... 

Neil: Arya ko uthaaya kyu tumne aaj?... Mana kiya hai na Dr ne?

Mini: Uski chot dekhkar dhyaan nahi raha... Lekin theek hai ab... Don't worry.
