Chapter 207 Decent Meal (2/2)

”Grandpa, I would like you to formally meet my girlfriend, her name is Jessy and my name is Adam, nice meeting you Grandpa!” Adam introduces themselves to the old man.

”My name is Waldo, just a random homeless guy,” replied the old man.

”Nice meeting you Grandpa Waldo!” the couple said in unison.

Grandpa Waldo coughed a little. ”I want to thank you, kids, for treating me to a decent meal, it's actually my 68th birthday today and I did not expect such a pleasant surprise from you kids, I'm forever grateful for your kindness and generosity,” Waldo said.

”Don't thank us yet, Grandpa, the food has not arrived yet,” Adam joked.

Jessy stood up. ”Let's go now inside and wait for our orders there,” she walked towards the door and entered the restaurant, the two men followed her inside.

They chose a five-seater table and informed the waiter for their foods to be delivered there.

Jessy stood up and approached the food display cabinet, she pointed at the cute round chocolate cake on display, she also brought a candle and a lighter, she paid the cashier her purchases and went back to the table—bringing with her the cake.

”Happy Birthday Grandpa! Make a wish!” Jessy said and lighted the candle.

Waldo can't contain his happiness, he did not expect that he will have a little cake on his birthday, this is all too much for him, it's overwhelming. ”Thank you so much, kids!” he was about to blow the candle but Adam stopped him on time...

”Not yet, Grandpa!” he said.

Adam stood up and looked around him, only a dozen customers are dining inside, they will do.

He addresses them all...”Hello guys, I need your attention please for a moment...Grandpa here is celebrating his 68th birthday today, will you be so kind as to sing a birthday song for him? Please?” he looked around him and the customers were nodding their heads willing to humor him including the cashier and the waiters.

Adam started singing the birthday song and everyone in the restaurant sang along with him....”Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday...happy Birthday...happy birthday to you! Grandpa, you may blow the candle now and make a wish!” he said.

Grandpa Waldo blew the candle teary-eyed. He looked at the people around him who are kind enough to sing to him a birthday song. ”Thank you so much, everyone, for the birthday song! This is my happiest birthday ever for a long time, may your lives be filled with a bountiful blessing from God above,” he said.

Everyone clapped their hands and smiled at the old man... then they returned their attention to their foods.

Waldo sat down on the chair and looked at the cake. ”It's beautiful!” he murmured.

Jessy and Adam looked at each other feeling pity towards the old man.

Soon the food feast arrived and Waldo was blown away drooling at the mouthwatering dishes being served in their table.

”Let's eat, guys!” Adam said licking his lips.

They began putting foods on their plates and started eating.

One hour later.

Their stomach was full and there are still leftover foods in the platter.

”Wow! Thank you so much, kids, it's the first time I feel so full like this!” Waldo put his hand on his tummy feeling grateful for the two kindhearted souls in front of him, they just give him a chance to experience how does it feel to be a decent human being once again.

”You deserve this blessing, Grandpa! It's just a little gift from us!” Jessy said.

Waldo stared at the foods in front of him.
