The Date
It was approaching 7 pm and the lady had sat on table number 7 for the past thirty minutes. She had not touched the glass of juice that was set beside her by the waiter. She was moving restlessly in her chair and she was checking her watch every other minute. Her eyes are fixed at the entrance of the restaurant and she took a keen look at everyone who entered. Now and then she stole glances at the streets through the windows. Suddenly a young man entered the restaurant and immediately the expression of the girl changed from frantic to excited. She waved her hand and he walked towards her table and she rose to hug him. The same waiter came to their table and stood by them and took out his notebook, scribbled something on it, nodded his head and disappeared to be the kitchen. The two remained engrossed in their conversation and they laughed loudly. They held each other’s hands below the table. A few moments later the waiter returned with cupcakes and cups of coffee. They both devoured into their snacks immediately they were served and the waiter disappeared to serve other people. The two left together soon.
