• Conflict
Mini thinks that Cabuliwallah kidnaps children and put inside his
bag.
• Climax
Cabuliwallah was collecting the payment from his customer but his
customer denied his debt to Cabuliwallah and so Rahman stabbed
the man and as a result, Rahman was put into jail.
• Resolution
Rahman traveled back to his own country to reunite with his
daughter again.
• The story starts when Mini, a talkative 5-year old girl, meets a
Cabuliwallah. At first, the innocent child thought that the Cabuliwallah
kidnaps kids. Mini's father and mother also have doubts about this
Cabuliwallah. But as time goes on, there seems to be a strong bond
that formed between the two. Mini felt closer to this unknown fellow
who gave her lots of almonds and raisins. But everything changed
when Rahman was sent to jail for murderous assault. Time passed by
and Mini is now getting married. During the wedding night, Rahman
paid a visit to see Mini only to find out that she has forgotten him a
long time ago. The Cabuliwallah explains to Mini's father that he also
has a daughter like Mini. Rahman misses his daughter so much and
that's why he felt close to Mini. Touched by the Cabuliwallah's story,
Mini's father realized that all fathers are the same-- whether you are
a writer or a Cabuliwallah.
