After a long day, I rested my body on the comfy bed. It didn’t take me long to fall asleep like a dead log. What a crazy day it was filled with surprises. But looks like the surprises are yet to come.
My eyes opened with a faint sound of someone calling out my name. Rubbing the droopy eyes with my fingers I looked up to see who it was.
” What it is Aalto?” I mumbled in a sleepy voice.
” Can I sleep here….. in your room?” He asked me in a meek voice, holding the pillow tightly. I looked at the alarm clock near the bedside table. It was 12:45 AM in the night.
No wonder why I’m so pissed!
” Why? What’s the matter?” I asked him while yawning.
” It’s just …. .. I feel scared.” He said timidly while looking at me helplessly. But my mood was already cranky.
” Ugh! Fine, sleep on the floor and don’t disturb me.” Grinding my teeth inward, I yelled at him raucously. It’s so annoying when someone wakes me up. I went back to sleep without listening to any of his nonsense requests.
When I woke up from my deep slumber, my eyes fell on the sleeping body underneath my bed. His body was curled up in a ball. Judging by the facial expression, he’s definitely feeling uncomfortable. Oh god!
The sense of guilt hit me like wall of brick. Last night, Aalto stayed in my room and slept on the hard floor. He didn’t even had any blanket. It may be late summer but the nights are chilly, thanks to the ocean.
I covered him with my blanket, letting him sleep for some time. When he wakes up I’ll apologise for my rudeness.
The sun hasn’t come out yet. I must start getting ready for the day. Around 7 o’clock Aalto came down searching for me. I was putting the buns in the oven.
” Good morning.” I greeted him with a smile.
” Good morning. I’m sorry I slept too much. Uh… I’ll help you.”
” It’s fine. But first I should apologise for being rude to you last night.” My shoulder felt slump as I thought of last night.
” It’s okay. I really didn’t mind it.” His heartwarming smile remained undefiled.
” Still, you had to sleep uncomfortably. Why did you come to my room anyway?” I asked him with furrowed brows.
” I was scared.” He replied tilting his head in shame. Ah! I shouldn’t ask him further about it. I guess being scared is kind of normal for him. After all he’s in an unknown place.
” Then you can sleep in my room. I’ll make a comfy bed for you.” Rather than asking him more about his fears, I decided to let him sleep in my room.
” Sorry for all the trouble.” His bright smile was back, making his cheeks puff up nicely. Aalto is like a open book. His expressions are so easy to read.
” Go get ready. You’re already running late.” Grinning at his callous face, I reminded him about the time. He went upstairs hurriedly, without giving me a reply.
Aalto came back after freshening up. He wore a white shirt tucked inside his black pant. The shirt was complementing his sturdy body so nicely. His long hair was tied back, so that it won’t bother him while working. I gave him a apron to wear.
” For now your job is to welcome the customers and take their orders. Be nice to them, always act politely.”
” Okay.”
” Just memorised the stuffs I told you.”
“Okay.”
I opened the cafe on the usual time. Our first customer was Mr. Han who lives nearby. He usually comes here for breakfast. I went to his seat along with Aalto.
” Welcome sir. What would you like to order?”
” Soufflé pancakes and black coffee.” He orders this often in my cafe.
” Okay then, I’ll be right back with your order.”
” So, who’s this new fellow?” Mr. Han asked me with a smile, pointing at Aalto.
” He’s my friend, Aalto. From now on he’ll be working in here.” I introduced him with Aalto.
” That’s great. It must be hard for you to run this place alone.” Mr. Han knows me very well since he comes here often. He’s a nice guy. We went to the kitchen to prepare the soufflé.
