This might be something that you aren't getting because of a translation difference, maybe. I see how rude people are being to you in this thread and it makes me sad; your posts are easier to understand than a lot of them. :)
It makes me sad, too, especially because
at that point in the film a first-time viewer doesn't realize Malcolm is dead. It is in a later flashback, when Malcolm realizes that he is dead, that we see the scene flash again, and realize that she was alone at the restaurant, and grieving his loss.
She is at the restaurant reminiscing, thinking about the time shared with her husband, and missing him. Maybe talking out loud to him isn't something that a lot of people would actually do, but it made for a nice dramatic moment. It's also a good scene to go back and watch after you've seen the end... so many different layers that make it more interesting each time.
Having been widowed myself, I did a lot of similar stuff after my husband's death, going to places we had memories of, and sometimes (softly) talking to him out loud.
