"We will wait for Ishaq before we start" says Shah. "Is he here yet?"
No, he is on his way," replies Ahmed.
Yes, he said he left the office 30 minutes ago." says Shah. "He is going to arive."
Traffic may be bad, because it usually doesn't take this long," Ahmed says.
Shah looks at his watch. "He will be feeling badly about being late, he says." I know he hates to be kept waiting, so he doesn't like to do it to other people." Oh that's all right! We we're getting impatient for no reason;don't you think?"Ahmad smiles." Remember his rule:the one who is late must buy the lunch! ")

Shah says to Ahmed that they will wait for Ishaq before they start and asks him if he has come. Ahmed replies Ishaq is on the way as he had told him that he had left office 30 minutes ago. Shah says Ishaq will definitely arrive. Ahmed says traffic may be bad as Ishaq is always punctual. Shah looks at his watch and says Ishaq will feel bad for being late. He further says that Ishaq hates to be kept waiting, so he does not like others to keep waiting for him. Ahmed smiles and and reminds Shah of Ishaq’s rule according to which the one who is late must buy the lunch.
