So finally Minnie classified everything HS has done for her as ehsaan. Bas yehi kasar baaqi reh gayi thi.
when you make someone your hero there is always a favor aspect to whatever he /she does for you. Remember mini thanking him when they came back from hospital for whatever he did for them. Minis feelings for HS have always been a bit of ehsaan and love and admiration for him. remember when mini needed someone the most HS came as a ray of light in her life who helped them in the beginning without any connection to them. Ashok had come to pull mini away from babita and even tried to slap her then it was HS who saved mini. not out of love for her but because it was the right thing to do. And when you help someone without any rishta just to help it is taken as a favor. Mini has not forgotten all that. she still thinks of HS as a good person only that he not been able to accept her as his daughter. I had mentioned earlier too that mini might not be comfortable taking too much of financial favor from HS. specially after what he said to her that be thankful that we are keeping you in this house. They are not father daughter yet in true sense.
