Captain Nathan called and asked as to see him at a certain restaurant where we all were supposed to have something for our break. Natasha, Sophia and I didn't know the direction. Natasha just remembers the name and she says it somewhere down the street but she didn't know the exact address. We went down the street and found a couple sitting on the bench alongside the road. We kindly asked them to direct us to Hunger Strike Restaurant. They gave us a certain look that we couldn't make out. After a deep thinking, they both shrugged and told us they didn't know the restaurant. We walked further ahead and found a group of school students and asked them, they laughed out loud and told us, "you guys don't seem to be from around here. Lemme help you out. If you are hungry and need to grab something to eat, then there is a new hotel at the city square. It's got the best fries and pizzas and chicken and everything there is superb. Just drop the idea of going to Hunger Strike you won't like it." They laughed and started walking away. But this made me wonder what's really happening at the restaurant that Nathan wanted us to meet.
I quickly rushed to the students since they were some distance from us now, "hey guys. Am sorry for disturbing you again. I think we really need to get to Hunger Strike coz we aught to meet with our superior there and if we are late then..."
"Madame you seem to be in a hurry and really want to go there. I guess it's business since you are dressed in a business attire, and you really look good in that. Ok Hunger Strike is the black door on your left corner. Second door on the line."
" Thanks guys. Hope we'll meet again one day. "
I quickly went back to Natasha and Sophia and I told them to follow me to the place. We all were surprised to find out that such a place would even be a restaurant. There was nothing to signal the presence of an eatery. But since that's where we were directed, hoping that the students didn't play a trick on us, we went ahead and opened the door. Lucky it was the place that Nathan and Mohan were waiting for us.
We took our seats at the medium-sized round table that had five chair which were now all accommodated. Nathan asked me how was my visit to the first institution and before I could reply, Natasha and Sophie began with the explanation. They told them everything including nothing leaving behind no details that I could finish with. Then Mohan also told us of his visit to a fishing industry where he had to be interviewed by a manager who was in charge of sailing boats and ships and all the matters that seemed greek to me. All this time we've been sitting here, there was a waitress who come and took our orders and whatever we wanted initially, she told us that they didn't have that. We all changed our orders to what they offered such a sandwiches, samosas, sodas, chocolate bread and some coffee.
I have been observing that in the large room, there were almost ten such table as ours and three were occupied. On one of the table, the customers waited for their orders to be brought till they grew tired and left. Then the waiter arrived with the order for the second table, the child poured his strawberry syrup on the table and the woman who seemed to be his mom, asked the waiter to clean up because they wanted to eat. The waiter took ages before coming back and as he was cleaning, he accidentally pushed a cup of hot tea of the father's laptop. The couple got angry and left with their kid. I looked at my watch and it was almost half an hour and we haven't been served either. The rest were just fine with it I think coz there was no any sign of inconvenience on their faces as they were chatting.
I excused myself with an excuse of visiting the washroom. On my way, I bumped into a waiter and asked him if I could speak to the one in charge here. He nodded and lead me to an office where I found a man in his mid fifties at the desk. I greeted him and waited for permission to take a seat.
He asked me to take a seat and asked me what he could helo me with.
"Sir am Pinky from Greenland university. We have been sent on projects to an island near this shore. We've been on the land since morning and we decided to take a break and grab something to eat at this restaurant. But the conditions here are very unpleasant. Am ready to offer you my help in improving the standard of this eatery." I elaborated myself clearly hoping he won't understand me in the wrong way.
