Eyes Behold

41. The Monet

That's how I imagined Francisco 👆👆^^

Rose had this habit since she was 9 year old. It was the first time she did it and she remembered her father being proud of his little angel. The sparkle in his eyes that day made little Rose believe she had won the world. Her parents always taught her not to waste food. They took her to orphanages quite often to make her appreciate the things she had. One of them was healthy food.

That day when the whole family had gone out for dinner after visiting the orphans Rose mused loudly when she saw a group of teenagers leaving the restraunt without even finishing half of the food they had ordered.

She had asked the waiter that served them that what did they do with the left over food? He simply told her that they threw it away. Little Rose was so shocked that day. Her father was quietly observing her actions wondering what she would do next. As usual little Rose didn't disappoint him.

" Can you pack the left over food and give it to me ."

The waiter was shocked and looked at her perplexed. He could see they were well off . They wouldn't need someone's left over food.

" I'm sorry miss but we can't do that ."

" But I wanted to give it to Kale." the little her pouted .

Now the waiter just wanted to get out of the situation quickly . It was so awkward and the parents weren't even stopping their child . He looked at them disgusted when he saw adoration in their eyes. Shouldn't they be embarrassed and angry? he had thought.

Sensing his thoughts her mother told him that Kale was a child from the nearby poor section of the town , where people with low income status lived. Teh waiter was struck by the pure heart this girl at such a young age had.

Her parents had talked to the owner that day and he agreed to let them take the left over untouched food for those people. Since then whenever Rose could seize the opportunity, she would do it again and again. Not every restraunt would agree to her plan but she never stopped. Partly she wished to see that sparkle again and now , now she just knew that he was looking down at her and just to make him proud again , she would do it again.

She would often feel bad when she thought that she did it more to make him proud than for the people in need but she couldn't bring herself to lie. It always made her feel that he is near whenever another organization agreed to go ahead with her plan. It made her feel closer to him and she relished each moment. She did it for him , for them more than for anyone else.

So just like always she had tried her luck at Paris a few days ago too. She was lucky that the waiter had talked to the manager and they had promised to talk to their owner. It was then she had realised that it was a part of the most famous chain of restaurant in Europe . She had lost all hopes and after that call from Dr. Adler and Louis, she had completely forgotten about it in her excitement.

But today this call changed everything. It was the call from one of the most rich bachelor in the world , Mr. Francis Monet, the owner of the Monet chain of restaurants , hotel and many more which were famous throughout the world for their outstanding services and products.

Mr. Francis was originally from France . He was born and brought up there . The branch in France was started from his father's shop which was later converted into one of the most famous restraunt worldwide . This was his father's dream and was one of the only restaurants under his direct control . This was the same branch where Jordan had taken Rose and her friends that day.

Francis' father often used to pile up all the food left after the day and take him along with him to distribute it to the needy just like Rose had proposed. He in the beginning used to still do it daily or tell someone to do it but eventually workload increased , stress increased, money increased and time from his hands slipped off . Soon this was forgotten. But today he was reminded of it again when the manager came to him with the request. It hit him hard and the sweet memories made with his father flooded his mind.
