Since Viona's departure from London, the muffin shop atmosphere had become quiet because Jenni and Amina were basically quiet people. They were drowning in the same longing for Viona's presence. They saw her as the savior of their lives. Jenny was a drug addict who almost died if Viona didn't help her. In her early days as a doctor, Viona painstakingly helped Jenni get her act together and quit drugs.
Amina's fate was worse. She was almost made a prostitute by her uncle since her parents died. She met Viona when she was booked by a client at the hotel where Viona was staying while attending a seminar. Because of that incident, Viona had scar on her left arm because she was slashed by a knife from a bouncer under the man's order.
"Look at them, Jenni" Amina said quietly, pointing to the front door of the shop where she saw several doctors. Amina knew they were doctors from the same hospital as Viona.
"I know," Jenni replied nervously.
