Beautiful

Part 2

Cecily handed over the cake to Torin along with the gift.

Cecily: "Here is the cake for your daughter's birthday sir. Convey our wishes to her" Hearing that, Torin's face turned red with anger.

Torin: "Excuse me? Please don't come to any conclusions on your own without knowing anything. It will be better if you could mind your own business" He said in a rude tone which hurt Cecily's feelings. Till today since THAT INCIDENT, none has spoken to her so harshly. She felt bad and her eyes started tearing up which she concealed cleverly and quickly.

Cecily: "I'm extremely sorry sir. Since you asked for birthday cake, I thought you were the kid's father. I'm sorry I won't repeat this mistake. Ever" She replied in a hurt but firm tone and went inside. Seeing some commotion, Mr.Rafferty came there. He saw Torin standing there with an annoyed face.

Raff: "What happened sir? Any problem?"

Torin: "I think you should keep a check over your employees and teach them some manners"

Raff: "Why are you saying so sir? Did our workers offend you in any way? But there is no chance for that" But he was cut off.

Torin: "Not all sir. The one who was speaking to me some time ago"

Raff: "Cecily? But she is a matured and good girl sir"

Torin: "Oh really? Do I look like a father to a 3 year old kid? How can she assume things just like that?" He asked still annoyed.

Raff: "Sorry sir but she can't see. Maybe that's why she would've assumed so" Torin was shocked to hear that and he also noticed that Mr. Rafferty didn't ask sorry for Cecily. Torin left the shop without saying anything further. He got in his car and started driving towards Henry's house all the way cursing him for putting him in this situation.

Flashback...

   Torin was getting ready to go to Henry's house when Henry called him. He told that he forgot the cake and asked Torin to collect it on the way. And that's why he ended up on DESERTS AND DELIGHTS and also hurt an innocent girl. Yes, he really felt bad for speaking like that but neither his heart nor his mind allowed him to ask sorry.

Flashback ends.

   Torin finally reached Henry's home and handed the cake. Soon party started and everyone were engrossed in it.

In the bakery...

   Mr. Rafferty was consoling Cecily and all the staffs were standing surrounding her trying to pacify her. Cecily was feeling much better now and was asking everyone to go back to their works. Everyone patted her back and resumed their works. It was now just Mr. Rafferty and Cecily. She was about to go out when he stopped her and handed her, her favourite black current cupcake. Smelling it, a huge grin appeared on Cecily's face.

Cecily: "Won't you ever forget this habit of gifting me cupcakes?" Mr. Rafferty chuckled hearing it and patted her head.

Raff: "No. Never. Whenever you will become upset, I'll be there beside you, giving these cupcakes and mollifying you. Always" Hearing that Cecily laughed. After giving him a hug she went out to carry on with her work.

Till next time...
