ASSIGNEMENT 02

Nine o’clock in the evening, in the ice cream parlour where I worked. There were only two customers, even though one hour earlier the place was so full I was unable to provide good service to anyone.

A young woman appeared in front of the parlour, opened the glass door and entered. She was wearing a white long- sleeved blouse and a long white skirt. Her gleaming black hair flowed down to mid-back. I hastened to walk up to her.

‘Good evening. In house or to take away,’ I asked her and then smiled.Her well shaped mouth smiled back. ‘I’ll eat here.’ Her complexion was light,

her nose pointed; her big round eyes bared a hint of sadness.I stepped aside to let her by. She chose the table next to the ice cream display

window at the back, away from the table where the two customers were sitting at the front of the shop.

‘A strawberry sundae,’ she ordered.I jotted down her order. ‘What would you like to drink?’‘Just a glass of water.’After bringing her the glass of water, I retreated behind the counter where ice

creams were prepared. I took a tall glass out of the glass container. There was a small chip at the bottom of this glass, which would had been discarded if the chip was on the rim or on the side, where customers could notice it easily. Most customers didn’t eat ice cream down to the very bottom so they didn’t know that this glass was chipped. As they didn’t know they were happy with the glass. So long as ice cream hid the chip they’d be happy with the glass and there was no reason to discard it.

I put a spoonful of strawberries at the bottom of the glass. After that I poured

two scoops of vanilla ice cream I toppled with more strawberries, squeezed a blob of

whipped cream on top, added a sweet-tasting red cherry and completed it with a fan

shaped wafer stuck into the cream.

I looked at the young woman from the corner of my eyes. She was looking

outside through the shop window. She must be sixteen or seventeen. I’d never seen

her before.

I smiled at her before putting down the spoon and the ‘strawberry sundae’ on her

table then I stepped away. It didn’t do to observe a customer while she ate her ice

cream, but I couldn’t help sneaking glances at her. She looked like a teen- age movie

star whose name escaped me at the moment.

The young woman used her left hand to pick up the spoon and scoop out some

ice cream. As she did so, the glass tilted as if about to topple over. She hurriedly

straightened it with her right hand. But hold it! It was only now I noticed her right

hand.

She didn’t have a hand. Her arm was amputated at the wrist. She used the stump

to keep the glass upright.

I was afraid of her looking at me so I hastened to look away. I thought she must

be embarrassed and didn’t want anyone to see her maimed arm. I tried not to look but

then couldn’t help casting glances at her several times.

The pretty, proper-looking, white- clad young woman with flowing hair used her

left hand to scoop ice cream and the stump of her right arm to prevent the glass from

toppling over, a painful attitude and a sight I found depressing.

When she had finished the ice cream and drunk half of the glass of water, she

turned towards me and nodded. I walked up to her.

‘How much,’ she asked.

‘Fifty-five baht,’ I answered. I tried to force my eyes not to drift to her right arm

which was now covered by the long sleeve of her white blouse.

When she had settled the bill, I walked with her to the front of the shop to open

the door for her. She smiled and said, ‘The ice cream was very good, but something

isn’t quite right.’

‘What is it,’ I hastened to ask, thinking she must had caught me stealing glances

at her.

‘It’s the glass … There’s a chip at the bottom of the glass.’

Then she briskly walked out of the shop.
