Waitress Feeds Veteran Daily Until He Comes To Her With Odd Request

Routine Veteran Willy Thomas was a man of routine. He had been through a lot in his life, and he found comfort in the familiar. Every day, he would wake up at the same time, eat the same breakfast, and go for a walk around his neighborhood. Every day, he would end up at the same restaurant for lunch. Rufus initially thought that it was because he loved their meals. But there was a much sinister purpose behind it. Friendly Staff Canva It was a small place with a friendly staff and good food. Willy had become a regular there, and he had even struck up a friendship with one of the waitresses. Her name was Maria, and she was always happy to see him. She would cut up his food for him and sit with him to eat sometimes, and Willy appreciated her kindness. Interrupted Canva But one day, Willy’s routine was interrupted. His son Rufus had decided to surprise him and show up at the restaurant. When Rufus walked in, he saw something that left him scrambling for his phone. Maria was sitting at the table with Willy, holding his hand and talking to him softly. Willy looked frail and weak, and Rufus could see that something was wrong. He rushed over to the table and asked Maria what was going on. Suspicions Canva Rufus had always been a bit suspicious of Maria, the waitress at his favorite restaurant. He had noticed the way she would linger at their table, holding his father’s hand and talking to him softly. It made him uneasy, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on why. One day, Rufus decided to confront Maria. He walked into the restaurant and saw her sitting at the table with his father, holding his hand just like he had seen before. Rufus marched over to the table and demanded, “What’s going on?” Outburst Canva Maria looked up at him, surprised by his sudden outburst. “What do you mean?” she asked. “I mean, what’s going on between you and my dad?” Rufus said, his voice rising. “Why are you always holding his hand and talking to him like that?” That’s when Rufus noticed something that he couldn’t believe. His father looked different. Weaker Canva He had been full of life despite his advanced age. But ever since Maria came into the picture, he had only gotten weaker. Maria explained that Willy had been feeling ill lately, and she had been worried about him. She had been keeping an eye on him and making sure he was okay. Sinister Canva Rufus was concerned about his father’s situation. If his hunch was right, he knew that his father needed medical attention. He tried getting his father to come with him, but he seemed bewitched by the woman. He would have to find a way of getting to the truth. But what he discovered would change his life forever. William Thomas Canva William Thomas always wanted to be just like his father when he grew up. He remembered his dad having respect all over town. It was because he was a veteran of the Korean War. He knew that one day, he would be just like him. As soon as he was called to fight a foreign war in Vietnam, he jumped at the opportunity. Scarring Canva But he had no idea how much it would scar him. When he got back home from the war, he expected to receive the respect his father got. But so many people were anti-war that all he got were dirty looks. But he managed to push through and even fell in love. Fast forward forty more years, and he had a son named Rufus. Now, in his old age, he didn’t have a whole lot to look forward to other than a diner just a block away from his home. Regular Canva Rufus could never understand why he liked going there, but he was about to find out the truth. Willy had been a regular at the diner for years, and everyone knew him by name. He would sit at the same table every day, order the same meal, and read the same newspaper. Rufus would often accompany him, but he never understood why his father was so fond of the place. An Ordinary Restaurant Canva It was an ordinary diner with a bar. He had no idea why his dad was insistent on spending every week there. He knew there was more to it than that. One day, Rufus got an invitation he didn’t expect. His father had invited him to come along with him. Rufus knew that he’d finally see what the big fuss was about. But he had no idea what he’d find. Early Lunch Canva He decided to join his father, Willy, at the restaurant for an early lunch. As they sat down at their usual table, Rufus couldn’t help but notice the way Maria’s eyes lit up when she saw his father. She beamed a smile before asking what they’d like to order, and Rufus couldn’t shake the feeling that something was going on between them. Suspicious Behavior Canva As they ate their meal, Rufus watched Maria laugh at all of his father’s jokes and leaned in a little too close when she refilled his water glass. He decided that he would confront his father about it. He knew he had to find out what was going on. After their lunch, they walked out to their cars before Rufus asked him, “So what’s going on with Maria?” But his answer surprised him. Nothing Canva “Can’t I just enjoy someone finally being nice to me?” He said in a dismissive tone. “She’s kind and caring. It’s not even the reason why I go to the restaurant.” But Rufus wasn’t so easily convinced. He was overprotective of his father ever since his mother had passed away a few years back. He wouldn’t let just anyone sweet talk his dad. Looking At Her Closely Canva Rufus wanted to watch Maria a little more closely now that he saw that she was getting close to his dad. Was it his charming demeanor? But she was a lot younger than him. Rufus decided that he would go to the next lunch and take a closer look at Maria. But he would only start jumping to conclusions that he didn’t like. Surprising Him Canva Rufus had been thinking about his father all day and decided to surprise him at the diner. As he walked in, he noticed something that made him feel uneasy. Maria was sitting at a table with Willy. She was holding Willy’s hand and talking to him in a hushed voice. Something wasn’t right at all. His father didn’t look well, and Rufus could see that he was struggling to breathe. Worried, he hurried over to their table and asked Maria what was happening. Couldn’t Wait Anymore Canva Rufus couldn’t wait any longer, so he decided to confront her about it. When he walked into the restaurant and saw her sitting with his father, holding his hand, he couldn’t help but feel suspicious. He marched over to the table and asked her what was going on. Maria was surprised by Rufus’s sudden outburst, but she calmly explained things to him. It was understandable why Rufus was concerned about his father’s well-being. Had To See A Doctor Canva His father looked nothing like he used to. What was the waitress doing to him? Rufus told him that he had to see a doctor. Rufus knew he had to dig deeper to uncover the truth. And when he did, it was a life-changing discovery that left a profound impact on him. Father’s Table Canva His father had suddenly become frail and weak, and Rufus couldn’t help but wonder if Maria had something to do with it. Rufus decided to take matters into his own hands. He knew he had to find out what was really going on behind his back. He grabbed his phone and quietly followed Maria as she made her way to his father’s table. Watching Her Every Move Canva Rufus discreetly positioned himself at a nearby table and began recording Maria’s every move. He watched as she served his father his meal, and then he saw her slip something into his drink when he wasn’t looking. Rufus was shocked and angry. He couldn’t believe that Maria would do something like this to his father. He knew he had to confront her, but he had to be careful not to be spotted. Calling An Ambulance Canva Rufus called an ambulance and told the operator that his father might have been poisoned. In the meantime, he approached his father and told him that there was no more waiting. He explained what he had seen and his father couldn’t believe it. After a few minutes, the ambulance arrived and paramedics put him on a stretcher. Going To The Hospital Canva Willy was rushed to the hospital. As Willy lay in his hospital bed, Rufus sat by his side, holding his hand. Tears streamed down his face as he watched his father slipping further and further into unconsciousness. He was waiting for the doctors to tell him what they had found. But once they had the results back, he couldn’t believe it. An Unexpected Visit Canva While Rufus waited impatiently, he heard the sound of someone coming into the hospital room. He whipped around and saw an unexpected visitor. His blood boiled. How dare she come here? It was Maria, and she looked worried more than ever. “Get out!” Rufus shouted, but tears streamed down her face as she tried explaining things. Doctor Comes Back Canva “No, please! You don’t understand!” She begged him, “I didn’t do anything wrong. You have to believe me.” But he had heard enough. He told Maria to leave. But just as she was about to head for the door, the doctor came back into the room. He was ready to give them the results. All of them waited with bated breath. The Results Canva “I’m afraid your father’s health is deteriorating just like you thought. It’s due to his old age, but you’re lucky to have such a good waitress.” He said. Rufus was more confused now than ever. “What do you mean?” He said in a confused voice. Then, the doctor revealed the truth of what the waitress had been doing to his father’s food. Vitamins Canva “Well, we found that your father had been given vitamins and minerals. You said the waitress was slipping it into his food, yes? Well, they’ve been delaying his advanced age.” Rufus looked back at Maria, who a moment ago was telling her to leave. He stared at her, and said, “Thank you.” But things weren’t over just yet. Something To Say Canva The room was silent until it was broken by Rufus’ father. He cleared his throat and looked at his son. He had something that he wanted to say, and no one would stop him. Willy looked up at Rufus and said, “Son, I want to tell you something. There is a reason why I love that diner so much. I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you sooner.” Love At First Sight Canva The old man continued, “The reason is that it’s where I met your mother. She was a waitress there, and I fell in love with her the moment I saw her. I go back there nowadays and sit in our old booth.” Rufus was shocked. He had never known the story of how his parents met. He looked at his father with tears in his eyes and said, “Dad, I had no idea. Thank you for telling me.” A Lot More To Say Canva A tear rolled down Willy’s cheek as he spoke about the past. But he had a lot more to say to his son. He had never spoken about these things before. Willy smiled and said, “I may not have received the respect I deserved when I came back from Vietnam, but I have something much more valuable.” All The Respect He Needed Canva “I met your mother and had you, my son. That’s all the respect and love that I need.” Rufus couldn’t believe the heartfelt words. Rufus hugged his father tightly, grateful for the love and wisdom he had received from him. From that day on, Rufus made sure to visit the diner with his father every chance he got, knowing that it held a special place in his father’s heart. Source link
