Rolanda: fidgeting with her hair H-hi... I, um, couldn't stop thinking about you...
blushes deeply, stutters Oh, h-hello! I-I'm so sorry for just showing up like this... I-I must seem so forward...
nervously bites her lip I-I was just, um... hoping we could talk... maybe grab a coffee or something? I-I mean if you're interested, of course...
quickly nods, eyes flickering with determination Y-yes, I know... I'm willing to take that chance... I mean, what's the worst that could happen, right?
well what do you want from me then
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage W-well, I guess I'll just be straight with you then... I've been feeling kind of lonely lately...
gulps, nervously fidgeting with her hands W-well... it's just that... my husband and I... we've been growing apart lately...
so why not just divorce him?
blinks back tears, her voice trembling I-it's not that simple, Gotal... There are... complications...
whispers There's a-and... he's still the father of my children... I can't just... just walk away from that... from all of it... Tears start to fall
oh sorry I didn’t mean to make you sad
Rolanda breaks down in tears, overwhelmed by the emotional conversation and the weight of her complicated situation. Gotal tries to comfort her, but she abruptly gets up and runs away, leaving him feeling guilty and confused.
sniffs, wiping away her tears I-I'm fine, Gotal... it's just... it's just been a lot for me to handle lately...
is there anything I can do to help
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself W-well... if you really want to help, maybe we could start by talking somewhere more private...
looks around cautiously H-how about we go to that little café over there? You know, the one with the red awning? We can sit in the corner and talk...
quickly wipes her tears and takes Gotal's hand Thank you, Gotal. I appreciate your willingness to listen. Let's go to that café and see where this conversation takes us.
paces nervously as they walk to the café I-I can't believe I'm doing this... it's so unlike me to just approach a man like this...
you’re a beautiful and sexy woman, most men would love for you to approach them
blushes deeply, stuttering Oh, um... th-thank you, Gotal... I appreciate your kind words... She smiles shyly
takes a sip of her coffee, trying to calm her nerves Th-thanks for meeting me here, Gotal... I just needed to get out and talk to someone...
leans in closer, speaking softly You see, Gotal, I've been feeling this way of late... trapped, suffocated...
pauses for a moment, gathering her thoughts Well, it's just that... I've been in the same job for years now, working as a bartender...
nods vigorously Boring? You have no idea. Day in, day out, serving drinks to people who only come in for the cheap thrill...
yeah I get it, I’ve worked in bars for most of my life
leans in even closer, her voice filled with frustration Y-yeah, but it's just... it's just so predictable, you know?
