Next morning

"The person you're speaking to, has put your call on hold.''

(Phone was on hold from the other side. Neil at the same time, was choosing a shirt to put on.)

-Itna kya soch rahe ho? Sab kuch black and white hi toh hai. Tumhare paas toh bilkul colourful kapde nahi hain.

- Colourful kapde nahi hain? Yeh dekho. Grey, blue, sab toh hai?

- Pink kahan hai?

- Pink toh ladkiyon ka colour hota haina, Choti madam?

- Toh kya hua? Itna sundar colour toh hai? Tumhe pink colour accha nahi lagta?

(He looked at her and smiled, then made a duck face and shook)

- Kaise ho tum, Neil? Tumhe Pink accha nahi lagta!

- (chuckled) Matlab, accha nahi lagta, but bura bhi nahi lagta.

-Oh (Arya smiled)

📞- Hello.

(He signed her with a finger on his lips)

Neil- (politely) Now, are you letting Kiya talk?

📞- Strange person, you are, Neil! Main-

Neil- I don't have any more time to waste.

Isha- Ok then, talk to you later? Waise bhi woh nahi hai abhi.

Kiya- Mujhe nahi khanaaaa! (screamed from background)

Neil- Kab taq,... (he saw Arya looking at him. He walked to a corner and whispered) Kab taq usse mujhse door rakhogi? Hn?

Isha- Do you think I don't understand, Neil? That why are you still after Kiya? I will NOT let my daughter have the sins of whatever happened between us. Woh ek choti si bacchi hai, Neil!-

Kiya- Mumma, kisse baat kar rahe ho?

Neil- Are you - are you kidding me!? (he hissed angrily) Yeh toh pata tha, that you hate me, but yeh nahi socha tha ki, tum apni nafrat mein itni gir jaogi, k apni beti ko baap ka pyaar milte hue bhi nahi dekh sakti?

Isha- Baap ka pyaar? (chuckled)

Neil- Choti madam, aap chalo, main thodi der mein aata hoon.

(Arya nodded, and walked out of room without any questions)

Neil- I'm coming to take her.

Isha- Take her?

Neil- Yes. I want her to stay with me for some days, Patiala mein.

Isha- (casually) You know you cannot.

Neil- And why can't I? Let me remind you, I have 4 months with Kiya.

Isha- Well, Excuse me. The agreement was that you can come to meet her, not that you take and keep her over days.

Neil- Delhi meri mohalle ki koi gali nahi hai, jahan I come to see her each day-

Isha- In that case you have a bad luck, Neil.

Neil- Definitely it begun with you, Anyways, If that's the case, I know how to rectify. I would like to make a few changes in custody arrangements.

For a few seconds there was no sound from the other side. Then Kiya's voice came from the phone

Kiya- Hello?

📞- Kiya? Hii Baby!

Kiya- Papa?

📞-Kaisi ho tum?
