Then I went back to the kitchen. The food for table twenty was still being prepared.
I waited for the food to get ready . In the meantime Cami came in smiling. She was holding a tray at her right hand amd there was her phone at her left hand.
“What are you smiling at? ” i asked her.
“Ahh… “She screamed with surprise.
“Oh Ley, you scared me. ” she said patting her chest.
“I didn’t scare you. I was standing here from ages. It was you who didn’t saw me. ” I rolled my eyes at her.
” Yeah it was my bad. By the way what were you asking? ” she said tilting her head slightly.
“What were you smiling at? ” I asked her “When did you developed a habit of smiling alone like that? ”
She got pale after hearing my words. It took a few seconds before she came back to normal.
” Who told you I was smiling.” she said looking away “I was just thinking of something ” she said.
I rolled my eyes at her “Liers are eaten by crow. ” i said in a small voice.
“Who are you calling a lier? ” She pouted.
“Who called you lier, I was just saying that Liers are eaten by crow . I didn’t said that was for you. ” I said with big smile plastered in my face.
“You… ” she pointed her finger at me but she didn’t get a word to speak. She pouted at me and went to another direction.
“Ley, your order is ready ” someone shouted for me behind.
I went and put the food on trolley and went back to table no twenty.
When I reach there they were talking . They both turned to me with a smile as soon as they noticed me.
“Here you go mam. ” I put her dishes on the table.
When i put the plate of sweet and sour pork on the table they both looked at me with confused eyes.
“This… We didn’t order this.. I think you have mistaken ” The girl said looking at me.
“No.. No.. I’m not mistaken. This one dish from me to granny. Please don’t refuse. ” I said smiling at them.
“But… We don’t even know you ” the girl said. She was not being rude. She was just being protective . After all they don’t know me and so do l.
” Yes, I don’t know you. But… Actually I never had a grandmother, when your grandma said I was like you to her I feel so warm inside. So it’s just a return gift for that warmness. And it’s her birthday today how can I let her go like this. This a way to say happy birthday to you grandma. ” I said smiling at them.
I wasn’t lying there, I really felt warm inside by her words and I wanted to make her happy…
“Even if you want to do something for her. You don’t have to do this….. We can pay for our food. ” the girl said. And of course I didn’t felt good.
“Sorry of you felt bad. I didn’t mean to make you feel that way. I just wanted to make your grandma happy ” I apologized to her sincerely.
“She.. ”
“Alright sweetie, she didn’t harm me in any way. ” the old lady cut off her granddaughter.
Then she looked at me and said. ” Thank you for your gift young lady. May God bless you ” she put her hands on my head.
“Happy birthday grandma. Please enjoy your food” I said to the old lady.
“Okay” she nodded at me and I got away from that table towards another table.
“Bill” one of the person at table nine shouted. I ran towards that table.
“Here you go sir. ” I said putting the bill on the table.
The boy put his credit card on the bill. I then took that card and went to the reception. While I was doing the transaction, I saw the boy that was on table number five before went out in front of me. He looked like he was very angry. He was so red and his eyes were also red.
I looked back the table, she was looking at the boy . Her face was so pale. I wonder what had happened between them. It seems like that they have a big fight.
I went back to table nine and gave them their card. They left the resturant after that.
I collected all the dishes and take them back to sink. I washed my hands and came out. I saw there was four girls sitting on table nine again. I went inside and get some glasses of water. I went towards them and served the water.
“Hello mam. Here is the menu, please give your order. ” I said politely to them.
“Wait for a while, let us check ” one of the girl spoke.
“Sure mam. ” I nodded at them.
I lift my head up. I looked around without thinking anything. But then I saw the girl before just pull out one of her hair out of her head. I got curious about what she was doing. Who in their sense pull out their hair while eating.
“Well we will take these two for each of us. Write four plate for this one and four plate for this one” She showed me pictures of food from the menu.
“anything else mam? ” I asked her again.
“This is it for now ” she said politely. “We will call you if we need anything ” she added
I nodded at them and went back to the kitchen. I passes the order to the chefs.
“Waiter” the girl at the table number five screamed as soon as I got out of the kitchen.
“Waiter” she screamed again.
I ran to her quickly. I was confused what had happened.
“Is there any problem mam ?” I asked her politely.
“Don’t you people have any shame? How dare you to do all these and even take yourself as high end restaurant ” she shouted.
I was not understanding why was she angry. “What happened mam ? Is there anything wrong? Do I did some fault? ” I asked her with politeness.
“How dare you to ask what happened after doing such a huge mistake? Is this how a big and reputed resturant serve it’s customer? ”
“Mam please tell us first what is the problem. Then we’ll may be able to solve that ” I said to her.
She didn’t say anything. She just keep shouting about the bad services of our resturant. I felt a bit of anger arising inside me but I can’t do anything to her. It was the policy of our resturant. We were not allowed to hit customers.
“Don’t you know what happened? What an act, how could this resturant can be so reputed with such a bad service. You are all so careless ” She shouted whatever cames in her mouth.
“Mam, please tell me what happened? Don’t badmouth our resturant unnecessarily. If you keep doing this we have to call the security ” I tried to warn her.
“How dare you talk to me like this? You are just a cheap waiter here. What a shameless person. ” she said.
“Sorry for being rude mam. But you are talking bad about our resturant without any reasons. So I have to be rude to you ” I said.
“You?….. Who told you I was screaming without reason? ” she said ” I have the reason. And that reason is that your resturant’s service is very low in quality. You guys are very careless person. ” she added.
“And may I know what made you think that? ” I asked her calmly. At this time everyone around was looking at us. All the staffs and customers were looking at us. So I can only act calmly instead of being impulsive.
“Look there is a strand of hair in my food. Look how careless you guys are. And you still think you can make me pay after giving such a low service? Dream on. I’m not paying you anything. ” She said crossing her hand in front of her chest .
I looked closely on her plate. She hadn’t even taken a bite of her foods. And there was really a long hair on the top of her food.
I felt confused. I had served her myself and the food was clean and good when I served her. At least I should have notices it before.
“Something must be wrong mam. I served your food personally. If it was here before I would have seen this before ” I said.
“What? Are you accusing me for lying? Can’t you see there is a long hair in my food ” she schemed.
“Look what am I going to do now. I’ll go and post about your bad services online. You just wait and watch. ”
“Mam”
“What a shmelsss bunch of people. You don’t provide good service and you take so high charge for your services. You call yourself a high end restaurant when you are so careless with you service. Just wait how much downfall you will face after I post about it online? “
