(They held each other's hand and went into the Kitchen. The staff greeted them good morning. Ofcourse they couldn't hear but they could see Neil had talked with them)

Geeta- Sir, yeh log aapke rishtedar hain kya? Bahut pyaari bacchi hai.

Neil- Haan...

(He was a bit nervous and ashamed considering his past. He glared at Mini, as if asking what to do. Her eye's cheered him accept the fact without hesitation.)

Neil- Actually woh meri beti hai, Kiya.

(Khursheed Miyan continuously stared at Mini. She gave a forceful smile.)

Simpy- Kya? Sir woh aapki beti hai? Matlab aap shaadi shuda hai! Wow Sir. Hum toh pehli baar mil rhe hain aapki family se. Humko toh lga aap bachelor honge.

(Neil diverted the topic)- So,
main itna accha dikhta hoon?

Khursheed- A re Janab. Ismein dikhne ki kya baat hai? Aap toh hain hi jawan.

Neil- Whatever, lekin meri tareef kr k aap log iss kitchen se apni jaan nhi chuda sakte. Get on work. Abhi mujhe pastries bhi banani hain so...

(Normally, at the age of 25, people get settled. But Simpy was not married even at 27, and that was her matter of sorrow all the time. She thought Neil was lucky to have a family.)

Simpy- A re Sir, koi order hai toh main bana doongi

Simpy- A re Sir, koi order hai toh main bana doongi. Aap thodi der toh apni family ke saath time spent kijiye.

Neil- Really? Yeh tum bol rhi ho? Simpy?... Waise, pastry toh mujhe Kiya ke liye hi banani hai.

Geeta- Waise, agar Mini Madam permission de, toh ek kaam kr sakte hain. Jaise Arya aa jati hai humari kitchen mein kabhi kabhi, Waise aap apni beti ko bula lijiye.

(Mini and Neil exchanged looks)

Mini- Haan-aan... That's a good idea ...main bhejti hoon usse.
(Neil gives her a thankful smile)

Restaurant hall
Mini- Keya?

Isha- What?

Mini- Actually, Kiya ke 'papa' uske liye pastry bana rhe hain. Kiya, tum chal kar dekhogi nhi? Look there. Tumhare papa bula rhe hain (Neil waved from the glass window) Tumhe hi 'Hii' kr rhe hain.

(Amongst all her fear and nervousness, there was a curiosity in Kiya's heart about her father. Rather the little girl couldn't say what, but Mini could see it in those eyes. Kiya shooked.)

Isha- Nahi jayegi woh.

(Mini gave not a damn to her word.)
Mini- (sat up) Keya,... I know ki tum apne papa se naraz ho. Hona bhi chahiye. Itne din ho gaye, woh kabhi mila bhi nhi tumse... But Jaane do na yaar. Ab aa gya hai na woh, tum bhi chali jao naa?(Kiya looks at her mother) Ab,.. wahan dekho? Kabse pastry bna raha hai tumhare liye... shayad usse ban nhi rahi hai. ... mujhe nhi lagta ki tumhari help ke bina woh pastries bana payega. Help kr do na uski?
