9: Date
Sophie was sitting in the living room. But she had an unexpected excitement. She could not stand still; she was constantly jumping in place, waving her hands and arms pointlessly. There was only the robot with Sophie. The robot was sitting on the couch next to Sophie and, unlike Sophie, hardly moved.
Sophie climbed onto her seat, put her hands on the robot's shoulder, and looked into the robot's face. But, she didn't say anything. The robot too looked at Sophie's face. She stared for a while, then the robot turned and remained motionless, she.
Lina had gone downstairs. She realized that Sophie was playing with the robot. Then, Lina looked around, there was no one around but Sophie. Lina walked slowly towards the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator door and grabbed a water bottle. He took two glasses from the shelves and filled them. Then, she put the water bottle back in its place. She drank one of the glasses right there. Then, she took the other glass into the living room.
When Lina came into the living room, Sophie said, "Mom! When are we leaving?" she asked her mother.
"Ah!" said Lina. She handed the glass to Sophie. "We need to talk to you about this," Sophie said as she drank the water.
Sophie started to cry, then "Are we not going?" she asked in a sad tone.
"No," Lina replied. Just as Sophie was moving to her room, Lina grabbed Sophie's wrist and, "I can't come. Uncle Kurt will take you, "she said.
Sophie's was beaming once more. "So I'm going," he said with a laugh.
"Correct," Lina replied. She tilted her head to the right.
Sophie started running upstairs, to Kurt, screaming with joy.
Sophie went upstairs. Then, she came to the door of his uncle's room. She knocked on the door, but no one answered. Sophie, eagerly, knocked on the door again. Again, no one answered. Little Sophie checked the clock. It was nine. The whole family used to have breakfast at 10 o'clock on the weekend. But Kurt would wake up earlier. After looking at the clock, Sophie ran downstairs again, despite her mother's warnings not to run. When he got to the living room, he opened the door under the stairs and stuck his head inside. She had never been here before. The door opened into a narrow, wooden-walled corridor. The staircase led down to the ground floor, to the basement. Sophie came through the door.
Sophie began to descend the stairs. The stairs creaked because the stairs, like the walls, were made out of wood. Sophie kept walking, ignoring the squeaks. After a few steps, Sophie began to hear some loud fan noises. These sounds were not heard at all in the upper floors. The sounds weren't annoying; although Sophie was startled for a few seconds, she soon got used to the sounds. As he approached the end of the stairs, she began to hear beeps coming from the room as well. When Sophie had finished her steps, she came to the basement, the walls of which were painted dark green.
On the left side of the basement were large computers. A number of cables were coming out of these computers. These cables came together on the left side and went to the right side, adhering to the wall. Seeing to her right, Sophie found Kurt. She was busy with something at her desk, as usual. Sophie first went with Kurt, then pulled him out of his clothes:
"You're going to take me to the park, right?"she asked.
Kurt took Sophie in his arms. Then, "Yes." he said. "Or don't you want us to go together? "he asked after.
"Whoo!" replied the sweet little girl. "It doesn't matter to me as long as you swing it on the swing."
"Sure," said Kurt. "Wait a minute, then we'll go out together okay?" he asked, then went back to his computer. Sophie, on the other hand, was staring blankly at Kurt. Kurt said to Sophie as he stared at the computer screen, "Now you go upstairs. We'll leave after breakfast."
Sophie nodded in agreement and then started up the stairs, making some gleeful noises. As far as Kurt could tell, Sophie was singing a song on her way out.
"Did you say swing for a minute?" said Eric. He thought Sophie was going to see David, too.
"Yes," said Paul. "Says the record so."
"Then why is Lina meeting with David?" asked Eric.
"I got the answer from Lina."
Lina was standing in front of the place where she was going to meet David. She was dressed quite elegantly; as David demanded. The address David gave was a building; Why did David want to meet Lina here?
Lina waited in front of the building for a while. She was tired of waiting, especially if the man she was waiting for was David Sanders. Just as she had decided to turn back, David appeared from inside the building. He asked Lina to walk for a while in a gentlemanly manner. Lina, on the other hand, chose to remain calm and started walking alongside David. They were quiet all the way, saying nothing. Apparently, David was hiding what he had to say in the meeting place. Lina, on the other hand, preferred to remain silent as she had nothing to talk about with David.
David and Lina walked to the end of the street. There was a restaurant on the right corner of the street. Lina glanced through the restaurant window. He liked the inside quite a bit, just found it a bit dark, but other than that it was a pretty good restaurant. They went in together.
The inside of the restaurant was not crowded; except for Lina and David, five tables were occupied, three in pairs and two singles. There were no couples with children in the restaurant. Therefore, there was silence. The waitress approached Lina and David, greeted them and showed them the table where they would sit. David wanted to hold Lina's hand as he walked, but Lina wouldn't let him. The table they were sitting at had two chairs. One of them sitting just right behind the restaurant's glasses, whereas the other sitting was sitting against the same glass. In short, the layout of the table was very bad; she was seated at the worst table in the restaurant.
"I like the table selection, it's great!" said Lina in a low voice.
David got to the point, ignoring the irony, "Today," said David, "I want to talk to you about an important matter. Sorry about the table. I'll be more careful again."
Lina did not respond to what David said. He just turned his head a little to the side and looked up. After a while of silence the waiter came to take the orders. They both wanted pickle soup. After placing the orders, David continued:
"Please, but can't we try again? I don't want it for myself, just for the kids."
Lina started laughing. The people in the restaurant turned towards him because of the noise he made. Lina later had to apologize to everyone. Then, "The guy who just wants to start over with his ex-wife he never wanted, just for his kids. You really are a great dad (!) "she said. Lina chuckled as she said those words.
"Stop mocking me, please," David said. He was slowly starting to sweat.
"Our relationship," Lina said emphatically, "is over. Finished. Alright? Done, fin, finito, kaput, you got it?"
"Why?"
Lina was very angry at this question. "You ask why? Could it be because you cheated on me?" she asked.
"It was just a mistake."
"Three mistakes. Even two in one... Nevermind," said Lina. She didn't want to continue this conversation, to not get angry. She covered his eyes with her hands, then said, "Can't we just not talk about this?" she asked. But David wasn't listening to Lina. David was looking at the blonde-haired woman sitting alone at one of the tables. Seeing this, Lina couldn't contain her anger and threw the bowl of soup that came at that moment at David. Then he started walking quickly and without looking back to get out of the restaurant.
'I was a fool to come here,' Lina thought to herself as she left the restaurant. She slammed the door open with her hand. Lina was walking alone, she liked the street she walked with David. 'You're stupid,' thought Lina again, 'you're such a big idiot'.
