Manya is in her office and as usual very busy. She gets a call that someone is at the company to see the Director.
Manya: (To the receptionist) send him into my office
(Picks up the telephone to inform Salim about his visitor)

It's been a while now and Salim doesn't pick up the call, Manya was forced to go to his office. On getting there, her knock on the door was not answered and she had to make her way in.
There Salim was standing in prayer at a corner of his office unknown to her what he was doing.
She kept on calling out to him and he wouldn't answer, then she walked up to him and shook him repeatedly but there was no response.

She finally calmed down and noticed some movements he made, "Huh, I think he's worshipping" she thought to herself on remembering a documentary she had watched on the mannerism of worship of the Muslims.

Salim finish praying and the issue at hand was resolved.

After sometime, Salim left his office for Manya's which was just a few steps away from his, the set up kind of attached to eachother.

Salim: (walks in) Hey Manya, I'm sorry about the other time, I should have informed you I was going to start praying
Manya: it's okay, I wasn't patient enough as well. It took me a long time to realize that you were worshipping
Salim: it's okay. You didn't know
Manya: would you teach me how to do it? I think I'm interested, I find it cute as I watched you pray.
Salim: (without hesitating) Of course sure. You have to come into the washroom with me
Manya: (Alerted) Ugh and why is that?
Salim: (Explains the whole purification process to her)

And soon they were both in the toilet, trying to figure out the practical aspect of the purification. Meanwhile, Mamta, a personnel in the company had decided to come check up on Manya to inform that she had a visitor as she wasn't picking up her calls.
