a neil/aaliya drabble

Mithali: Yes! BB and Purab are getting engaged today!
Neil: I'll kill him.He's going to marry my Bulbul? If I don't cut him in pieces and throw him in the river, my name is not Neil Thakur.
Aaliya: *flies at him in a rage* *grabs his collar* (at the back of her mind is the thought: damn, what cologne is he using? I feel dizzy...in a good way) You're going to cut my Purab into pieces? If you dare to even raise your eyes to him, I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life!
N: (accidentally gets a good view down the top of her dress and is suddenly impressed by what he sees. but then her passionate voice jerks his attention up and he gets caught in her sparking eyes. still, he can't let her ruin his collar...so he grabs her arm to shake her off, and wonders why it feels so nice and soft in his grip, and thus is too dazed to let it go immediately and instead holds her hands apart as he answers her) What do you think, that I'd do the dirty work? This trifling job can be handled by my men. I will arrange such a death for Purab that even he will forget how he died! (a rush of hormones is messing up his thought process and he doesn't realize he's talking nonsense - spewing deep-seated venom on automatic, but his imagery needs work)
A: (gets a bit distracted by the movement of his sensuous mouth as he spews his nonsensical venom; feels strangely cold when his hands let go of her wrists; recollects her scattered thoughts and starts in with her return threat, but she feels like she's just reciting empty lines...) Death will come for your Bulbul. Until now you've only seen -
N: Wait, what? You'd kill a girl just to get your ex back?
A: Yes.
N: You have that much psycho passion? What's so great about your Purab anyway?
A: Look she doesn't need to be dead, she just needs to be gone from his life. I've tried so much else to separate them but nothing works. Damn if I know why every man in the world is crazy about her!
N: Because she's the sun and the moon and the stars -
A: And she won't give you the time of day, and you're still mad for her.
N: I have to say...I've never met a woman so ruthless as you. Bulbul wouldn't kill for love.
A: But you would. You just said you'd kill Purab -
N: You know what, maybe I can just have him sent to Antarctica or something. I hear murder is really bad for the health, even by proxy. And I can think of something much better to do this afternoon, actually. Are you busy? *winks at her*
A: *suppresses a bizarre sudden urge to blush* Well, I was going to try to stop an engagement...but what did you have in mind?
N: Come with me in my car and I'll tell you all about it. Send these two witches back wherever they came from. You really need better minions if you want to succeed with your vile plans. Trust me, I speak from experience.
Mithali: Uh Aaliya I don't think this is a good idea -
Tanu: Did he just call me a minion?
A: Do you promise not to kill Purab?
N: I promise to make you forget his existence, how about that?
A: Oh! You think you're that good? *laughing...but a little excited*
N: I know I am. *grinning*
A: Then why wouldn't Bulbul have you?
N: Bulbul who?
A: That's what I wanna hear! K Tanu, Bhabhi, ciao bellas.
M: Aaliya! You can't just go off with a strange man -
*A & N simultaneously put on their sunglasses*
A: He's not just any man bhabhi...I think I just met my soul mate.
*N smiles and offers A his hand to lead her to his car*
*A raises an eyebrow, smirks and walks past him*
*N freezes for a minute, turning to watch the sway of her hips
*T & M look at each other helplessly*
*N snaps out of it and hurries to his car*
*N & A spend the afternoon thoroughly discovering each other...and decide that hang Bulbul and Purab, if they join forces there's nothing else they can't have...and that's good enough to be going on with!*
