Patience Pains

The collapse of his business left him depressed. He sat at the eatery table with a blank gaze. The waiter tapped him on the sholder. 'Sir,the bill need to be paid please '!. He looked up slowly with teary eyes as he counted the coins on the table,slowly dropping them onto his palm before handing them over to the you g lady. She gave him that scornful look,before walking away to the counter. She reached the counter whispered something into her beautiful colleague's ear when they burst out in laughter. He stood up dejected with drooped shoulders as he crossed the street. He had asked for a disposable plate to collect the left overs to carry home to his young daughter. That's what the waiters were mocking him for coupled with the payment in coins without a tip!
