The café (1 part) by Elena Zenchenko

This small cafe stands on not very crowded street in the downtown near the park.
The café is almost invisible in the basement of the museum, you don’t see it accidentally. Above it’s a museum with old paintings and sculptures, even furniture and Renaissance tapestries. Here vice versa is no trace of a classic - a cozy due to the warm loft design. There are brick walls without plaster, wood floors, dark oak beams on the walls and ceiling. Black tables with candles and designer fixtures add modernity. In the center situated a wide bar. Staff as well "toward the loft" dressed in white shirt and gray skirt the bartender and waiters. They look very nice. Waitress is quite short with dark curly hair and brown eyes. She’s greeting visitors at the bar. The bartender just good looks too. Everything gives the
impression of a gorgeous place, although prices probably still a little bite in spite of purity
and favorable location. Now an average weekday, so there are not many people - booked only four tables. In the first sight we see a strange couple - the elderly woman and young boy. Obviously, they are grandson and grandmother. She is elegantly dressed in a long black skirt and jacket with a brooch, her long gray hair tightened in a tight knot. Grandson in contrast dressed quite casual, it is usual T-shirt and jeans. Grandmother strictly writes something in a notebook, grandson playing on the phone from boredom. One can imagine that they went to cafe before going to certify documents for an inheritance or something like that. But there is another scenario - maybe they went for counseling at the hospital, which is around the corner, and now grandmother is calculates the price for expensive treatment or suit young offspring to work of an old friend in the company. This table, probably, is the most boring. The waitress brought cappuccino and durable green tea without sugar. The choice of
drinks for everyone is obvious.
At a table in the corner of the couch to see a couple in love, which ordered a «coffee for lovers» - a large bowl with two handles in which a huge number of top chocolate cream and coconut. They look quite happy. She is very attractive, age 25, with long brown hair and nice face. Her look has something entirely Asian. The guy opposite has bright blonde curly hair and blue eyes. Everything indicates that they are together not for a long time and their relationship is still dominated by a certain euphoria of the first months of relations. He holds her shoulders and they keep the quite conversation going. But no words of this conversation are heard. The waitress comes to them again. In this time they taste cheese dessert. Boy kisses the girl - like idyll. Perhaps he will soon make proposal to her and they played magnificent wedding for money borrowed from wealthy parents or may break up, quarreled because of some trifle. Another table is filled with a group of two women and a man. Perhaps they went for coffee during the lunch break as coworkers, who have office nearby. They are like old friends, and hardly imagine that any of them have had other relations. This is only table from which came the loud laughter. They have about 35 - 40 years old. First woman – is plump brunette with curly hair. She looks like a business lady - dressed in a black business suit, high heels and glossy sunglasses. At the screensaver her iPhone, which is not drops from her hands - two sons-teenagers. Another woman almost complete opposite to first - with straight short blonde hair, cut in a square, dressed in an elegant but rather a simple black jersey dress. She has quite bright makeup - dark plum lips, youth-style jacket with pockets, from one of which is seen a pack of cigarettes. Man is loudly laughing, joking all the time. He has great stature with a considerable weight and bushy mustache, similar to typical good-natured guy.
The last table filled with crying children, young parents here with two twins aged about three years. Young parents rarely cares to look very happy, rather tired, but in spite of this - they are good in treating children, for the first sight. What they found themselves in a cafe? Probably, they are here to rest or to hide from the rain. Outside little drops is dribbled and it would not hurt if have an umbrella, but not with young children. Mother still tries to have time to drink coffee, running between little beggars with his father. Nothing special really, just a little happy family life - it is barely visible - their happiness in the details.
