breakfast in bed

We landed in Medina just a few hours after my birthday. My birthday, 24 hours..stretched for a few at least 3 hours because we were flying westward. I had not given myself any birthday treat so I decided to order from the hotel room service. Unfortunately, they couldn’t make all the lunch dishes in the menu because of Ramadan, the room service guy told me. This was at about 3 or 4am, fasting has not started yet so I don’t know how this is in relation to Ramadan. I felt a bit disappointed about this and told the guy that it was my birthday and spent the whole day working and now I’m tired and hungry but I couldn’t have what I wanted. It was a very unlucky day. The guy called to the cook and asked what is available and he told me then on the phone that they can make pasta dishes now.
So I went over the pasta dishes and ordered for myself a fettuccine carbonara with some sort of lemon chicken on top. But I didn’t get just that. The room service guy on the phone was so kind to give me some dessert and orange juice and some bread in a basket as a birthday gift. I was so touched by his action that I called up room service again and thanked him. Some minutes later, a room boy knocked on my door and handed me the guy’s name, phone number and email. Thanks Joy Patwary. Although I didn’t email or text you, I am very grateful and think you are a kind person.
