XY - I

" Can I help you, sir?" A young chap wearing typical black uniform gently asked the newly arrived customer.

"Eidur, right?" He glanced at the glittered name tag that handsomely pinned on Eidur's uniform.

"Yes, sir. Can i take your order, please?" Eidur bent lower and asked the same question again.

"Nice name. Not like mine. Adam.How typical and boring, ha!"

Eidur struggled to respond. Ya ya, whatever, just give me your got damn order. Obviously he did not blurt out that statement. Instead, he smiled and patiently waited for Mr. Adam to make his order.

"Why would any parent name their kid Adam? come on be real, which Adam actually manage to make it big in his life?"

er, like Adam Sandler?He remained silent, thinking stabbing him to death or drowning him in the sink will make him feel better.

"If only my name is less common, like Eidur. Perhaps she would have remembered me,perhaps..." Adam grinned awkwardly with some unexplainable sadness in his eye.

"Maybe i'll get you a glass of water first," Eidur walked away, thinking how he might be handling another drunk customer yet again.

"Get me something special," Adam finally made his order as Eidur walking into the kitchen.

Is this city cursed or what? how can there be some many guys being dump and then drunk? He asked himself while pouring water into a typical tall glass with little design worth mentioning about. Luckily i'm not from this town. Eidur grinned as he thought of his fiancee Shin back in Kuantan. He is getting married next year.

Half glass of hot black coffee,20ml of Kahlua, a spoon of sugar, topped with cream and sprinkle of cinnamons. This should be special enough.

"Your glass of water, and today's special, Mexican coffee." Eidur

" I've never heard of Mexican coffee."

" That's why it's special. Technically this is a Irish coffee."

"Then why do you call it Mexican?"

"Irish uses Irish Whiskey, but I uses Kahlua."

"Then you should have uses toddy, and call it Malaysian Coffee."

"Kopi-O has long taken the title i'm afraid."

Silence. Adam looked up with his swollen red eyes. "We are always one step slower, aren't we?"
