Conversation between friends about a warm welcome
Nadia: Sajid! Sadaf!
Sajid: Hello! How are you?
Nadia: At last! We thought you were
never coming.
Khalid: Did you have a good journey?
Sadaf: Well anyway, it's lovely to see
you both. Oh, the house looks beautiful.
Sajid: I never realized you had such a
big garden, Dad.
Khalid: Ah, let me take your coats.
Sajid Sadaf: Thanks. Thank you.
Khalid: You both look so well.
Nadia: You've no idea how we've been
looking forward to this.
Khalid: Now, do sit down. What can I
get you to drink?
Sajid: Ah!
Khalid: Sadaf?
Sadaf: Oh, let's think.
Khalid: Sadaf?
Sadaf: Oh, yes yes please. I'll have a
medium Sadaf.
Khalid: What about you, Sajid?
Sajid: Whisky, please Dad. With water.
Sadaf: Well. Here we all are.
Nadia: I can't believe that we're
really all together again.
Khalid: Nadia's cooked a really
splendid dinner to celebrate. Your favorite, Sajid.
Nadia: Now then, it's a secret!
Khalid: Here you are.
Sajid: A drink!
Nadia: Oh, and we managed to get hold
of some of that wine you liked so much.
Sajid: Not that lovely rose you
brought back from Province?
Nadia: Yes. You both said you 'd never
tasted anything so delicious. Do you remember?
Sadaf: Oh yes, it was lovely. Oh, it
is good to be here. Peace and quiet at last.
Sajid: It's certainly nice to get out
of that poky old Lahore flat for a change.
Nadia: By the way, the space from
right at the top of the house. It's got a lovely view over the country side and
gets lots of sun in the morning.
Khalid: Well, here's to you.
Sadaf Sajid: Yes, and to you. Cheers.
Khalid: Now then, how are you both?
How are you settling down in Lahore?
Nadia: Will you want a hot water
bottle?
Sadaf: Not for me, thanks Mum.
Sajid: We never have one since the
last one burst. No, it did really?
Khalid: Well, you can tell that
Nadia's glad to see you. She's determined to spoil you. Hot water bottles and
all!
Nadia: Well, of course I am you don't
know how happy I am to see you both.
Khalid: What's that?
Sadaf: Each, something's burning.
Nadia: Oh no! The dinner!
Sadaf: Oh dear!
