Nightcap 119 'Theo and Mathilde'

“Do you need some tea?... Do you still have tea?!” asks Mathilde sullen. She's not getting an answer from her hearing impaired husband, Theo. Yes, husband... at least. The divorce has been set in motion a long time ago. A whole fuss when you're 80+.

Theo looks at his ex-to-be equally contemptuous, to finally hardly shake no visibly. “Then stretch”. With these words, Mathilde takes the teapot to the kitchen. She grabs her shopping note, bags, wallet and car keys and leaves without saying anything. She rips the front door shut with a lot of a lot. Theo heard that. “Fortunately, the Bitch is gone”. He picks up the phone and calls his lawyer. “Law firm Jansen, Jansen and de Vries, good afternoon, how can I help you?” “A whole story!” , Theo hums. How long are you gonna leave me with that little girl? For a moment it is quiet... “Ehh, oh Mr. Schuins-Marchlier, hello! Today I send the papers. If you want to return them signed as soon as possible?” “Oh, don't worry about that!” The 84-year-old man croaked the phone on the hook. “A rib out of my body, these jerks,” he grumbles on.

Meanwhile, Mathilde is already at the checkout. “That will be four hundred and twenty-eight euros and fifty-six cents, madam.” “Yes, especially the 56 cents, huh? That is important!” After she snuffed the checkout lady, “Tillie “runs out of the Aldi towards her Mercedes. At a distance she opens the trunk and throws the bags in. Two bottles of wine fall and the blue upholstery turns purple. She has to be quick because it's getting dark and she's already seeing so bad. Mathilde rips to 'home' and ignores only two red traffic lights. Once arrived, it's dark.It's so dark she can't see a hand in front of her. On the touch she searches for a light button...

When she cuts the light, she sees a note lying on the table. “I went to club Fantasia, you don't have to stay up for me”. “It's nice of the old grumpy,” she snatches. “Then I'm going to make the bed for when Anton comes right away”.
