-Mam could you remind me the time again?

-It's eight ten for seventeenth time!! Just take my phone. I don't need the clock right now like you do.

-I screwed up her whole evening.

-I said I am sorry!! I messed up the sortings okay? This, this job of supervising isn't really a stroll through park.

-Yeah? And my job was to serve drinks on the table...(sighs)

-Hmph...just don't bring your side of work here. You shouldn't have taken the job if you can't put up with a bit of an accident. G.o.d!! Why did I even bother??

-Oh I thought I was putting up with accidents quite good. There're more than one person who should back me up on this.

-Listen! (Sighs)..I'll talk to her. You should calm down.

-Calm? You are the one who's being obnoxious.

-Just drive.

-...

-Look Layla, sorry. I know that I was being annoying and rude.

-...

-I know you're much too young for this job anyway. But even at your age the way you work is quite unique and effective.

-...

-I don't want to put you or anyone in inferiority. You know...since Akane died...

-Jane is still showing signs of Schizophrenia, isn't she?

-...yeah. Even I have had hard times with my way around her.

-I guess I did really screwed up her evening. Will she even talk to me?

-She was so different when Akane was around...

-I know. Let's try to cheer her up, together. Okay?

-...I am just waiting for the big break, to disappear from here with my little girl.

-Getting away won't fill her mother's absence.

-...guess there's no 'happy ever after'. I wonder if pain ever really goes away...

-Maybe if we try hard, that pain might just lose it's power over us eventually.

-(A little smile)...I would love to think that there was a reason why we met. Maybe...it's to let us know...to let go of someone how much we wanted to hold on.

-Then I guess after getting through the new story we will be a better version of ourselves. Maybe build a better life for our little girl.

-Wish I could say I love...this...this idea of yours. You are a fine young woman Layla.

-...

-...I hope you can make a better life out here. Maybe get out with your parents..

-..(Slowly puts her hand over his)I want to be a part of this 'big break' you were talking but let's make it a better one. Can I?
