Duration: 1–1.5 minutes

Emotions: Pyaar, masti, excitement, samjhan

Scene: Father office se ghar aata hai. Peeth par bag, haath mein tiffin. Beti kuch bana rahi hai.

Ghar mein enter karte hue, peeth par bag aur haath mein tiffin. Beti ko dekhkar chehre par muskurahat aa jaati hai.

Arre meri bitiya rani Kya kar rahi hai meri gudiya?

Uske paas jaakar, bachchon ki tarah laad se

Arey waah, Aaj toh bahut khush lag rahi hain. Kya baat hai? Koi lottery lag gayi kya?

Achhaaa, aaj naan khatai banayi hai tune? Aur akele akele kha bhi li?

Wah bhai wah, Apne baap ko toh poochha hi nahi.

Laa, mujhe bhi khila. Pata hai na, tere haath ki bani cheez mujhe kitni pasand hai.

Achaanak kuch yaad aata hai, khush hokar

Achha sun, aaj tere liye ek khushkhabri hai.

Teri bua ka phone aaya tha. Unhone tere liye ek ladka dekha hai. Achhi naukri karta hai, sarkaari naukri hai beta.

Beti ke gusse ko samajhne ki koshish karta hai

Arey, arey, gussa kyun ho rahi hai? Maine abhi teri shaadi thodi karwa di! Bas ek baar mil toh le usse. Pasand aaye toh baat aage badhayenge.

Ab beta, tu badi ho gayi hai. Teri shaadi ki umar bhi ho rahi hai. Main kab tak tujhe apne aanchal mein chhupa ke rakhunga?

Thoda ruk kar, pyaar se

Lekin iska matlab ye thodi hai ki teri padhai band karwa denge. Tu padhna chahti hai na? Toh padh. Main mana kar raha hoon kya? Bas, shaadi bhi toh zindagi ka ek hissa hai, beta.

Beti ko rote dekhkar ghabra jaata hai, awaaz naram pad jaati hai.

Achha baba, theek hai! Mat kar abhi shaadi. Bas ro mat,

Uske aansu ponchhne ka ehsaas, phir mahaul halka karne ke liye bachchon jaisi awaaz mein.

Achha, ab ye bata ye naan khatai bachi hain ya saari khud hi kha jayegi?

Acting tip

Beginning: Office ki thakaan ke bawajood beti ko dekhte hi chehre par bachchon jaisi khushi le aao.
Shaadi ki baat: Excited aur casual raho; father ko abhi andaaza nahi hai ki beti itni hurt hogi.
Beti ke gusse par: Pehle halka confusion, phir pyaar se samjhaane ki koshish.
Rote hue beti ko dekhkar: Awaaz dheemi ho jaaye, aankhon mein fikr aaye. Woh apni baat manwane se zyada beti ke aansu rokna chahta hai.
Naan khatai wala ending: Halki si muskurahat aur bachchon jaisa andaaz—jaise woh har mushkil baat ko apni beti ko pyaar se mana kar theek kar dena chahta ho.
