Neil: H?

Mini: Colour shades ke naam bata rahi hu... 

Neil: Oh.. Ok... So?

Mini kept them one by one on his torso and then said.

Mini: Out of these four, blue looks best on you.... 

Neil: Done then. Perfect.

He kept the other kurta disorganised in the cupboard.

Mini: Are yaar... kapde aise kaun rakhta hai.... Aalsi hi ho tum... Jao fresh ho jau... main rakh deti hu.... 

Neil: Thanks.

He went to the bathroom and Mini organised his clothes.

Neerja: (slowly) Aww yaar.... So sweet.... Old school romance aaj bhi effective hai na?

She turned to Abhay and then realised their positions. 

She immediately backed off and Abhay was whole red by then.

Neerja: I... I.... I am really sorry.... I mean really really sorry.... Maine realise nahi kiya tha... (holding her ears) Sorry..... I hope you won't mind.

Abhay blinked his eyes two three times to come back to the present circumstances and then reacted.

Abhay: Nahi nahi... (held her hands and removed them from her ears) I won't ever mind... I mean It's fine... You don't need to feel sorry.

Neerja: It wasn't intentional....

Abhay: I get it... It's totally understandable.... Don't worry.... (bending to her) And the answer for your question.... (smiled) Yes... The old school romance is as effective as it was from eternity. 

Neerja was confused.

Mini came out of the room and saw them.

Mini: Tum log kab aaye?

Abhay: Bas abhi hi aaye... Main ready hoke aata hu.... (went inside the room smiling at Neerja) 

Neerja was looking at him in confusion. 

Mini: (patting at Neerja's shoulder) Kya hua?

Neerja: Isne aise kyu bola abhi?

Mini: Kya bola?

Neerja: (shrugging off her thoughts) Are kuch nahi chodo aap... Chalo mere saath... Kum kum kaha hai?

Mini: Ha deti hu....

Neil came out of his room, folding the sleeves of his blue kurta, and Mini was coming while looking in her phone with a plate of marigold petals in her hands. Both collided with each other and Mini was about to fall but Neil held her by her waist while she held him by his shoulders and plate of flowers fell down with a bang, not before getting lifted in the air and the petals falling over MiNeil. The sound got them out of trance and they parted.

Neerja and Vaishnavi came out of Mini's room hearing the sound and saw them both covered in marigold petals. They giggled and again went inside.

MiNeil: Sorry... Main dekh nahi raha tha/rahi thi... Hmm...

Both jerked off the petals from themselves. but the petals were still on their heads.

Neil took off the petals from Mini's hair and Mini smiled. Taking off the petal near to her ear, Neil brushed the tip of his fingers behind her ear teasingly.
