My Husband’S Wife
The Meeting
It is early morning. The sun is not yet up.
Mom
Why are you not up yet?
Mom
You have to go out and get us breakfast
Mom
Do you want your younger siblings to starve?!
Katjas family is very poor. The never have any food in the house and Katja have to spend all her time begging on the street or scouring the trash for food.
Little sis
Waaaaaah! Why is everyone yelling!
Mom
See what you have done! Go now!
Katja
Okay mom. I will go. Don’t worry little sis. Just go back to sleep and I’ll have food for you when you wake back up..
Katja puts on her sneakers. The soles have fallen off long ago, but she put it back on with tape.
Katja walks around the streets looking in the trash, and asking the people passing by for change. What she doesn’t notice is a dark car following behind her.
Timothy
Stop right here. I need to talk to this beautiful lady.
The car stops swiftly. Timothy opens the car door and quickly pulls Katja in before she can resist.
Katja
Aarghhh! What are you doing!
Timothy
We wish you no harm
Katja
What are you talking about! You just kidnapped me!
Butler
Should I start the car again Master?
Timothy
Yes. Start the car.
Timothy
Relax. Tell me your name
The car slowly starts back up. Katja settles into her seat, coming to terms with her fate
Timothy
What a beautiful name. Fitting for such a beautiful woman
Katja
I’m not beautiful. Just normal
Timothy
Please. Give me a chance to prove your beauty
Timothy
I’ll grant you one wish. Hopefully that will prove to you that I truly think you are the most magnificent creature I have ever seen
Katja
Why would you do that for me?
Timothy
Because from the moment I saw you walking down the street, I knew that I must have you.
Katja
I am not an object to be owned!
Katja
But I will take you up on your promise and ask for a wish
The Deal
Last episode Katja and Timothy had their first meeting
Timothy promised to fulfill one wish for Katja
Katja
I will take you up on your promise and ask for a wish
Katja
Please feed my family for today!
Timothy
Such a boring wish
Timothy
But a promise is a promise
Timothy
I will make sure your family is well fed for the day
Timothy reaches into his pocket and pulls out a huge stack of cash
Timothy
This should be enough to buy food for your family
It is at this moment that Katja notices something about Timothy
Katja
Your hand is bleeding!
Timothy
This is nothing. I just had to put someone in their place earlier
Katja quickly rips a piece of her shirt off and bandages his hand
She then blows on his hand and gives it a kiss
Katja
I didn’t mean to do that!
Katja
I have younger siblings who get hurt often and they like it when I do that.
Timothy
Don’t worry. I liked it too. In fact I wouldn’t mind if you did it again. Right here
Timothy points to his lips
Katja
Argh! I’m not gonna kiss a stranger!
Katja
Please let me leave I need to get this to my family.
Timothy
Under one condition
Timothy
Let me drive you to your home.
Katja contemplates for a second. If she agrees this stranger will know where she lives!
But ultimately she decides that if he wanted her harm he would have done so already.
Katja
Okay. You can drive me home
Timothy
Butler change course to Katjas home. She will give you directions.
The Money
Katja is now back home. She is not sure how to explain everything that happened to her family.
Dad
Hi sweetie. Did you find anything good while you were out?
Katja
I need to tell you something
Dad
Oh! Is everything okay Katja? You seem out of it
Katja
Yes I am alright. Let’s go sit down
Katja and her father go to sit down in their couch. It is filled with stains and broken, but they are used to it
Katja
So, I was out as usual when I met this strange man…
Katja begins to tell everything that happened.
During this her father stays silent. This is what she loves about him. He knows how to listen
When Katja is done with her story they both sit in silence for a while. Taking in what happened
Dad
That must have been scary! Are you alright?
Katja
Yes I am fine, thank you.
Katja
It was scary at first, but he was so kind that I felt almost at home with him.
Katja
But I don’t think he knows a lot about life.
Katja
The money he gave me can last us all month if we spend it well.
Katja
He only intended to give me money for a day!
Dad
Well, you will have to thank him then, if you see him again.
Dad
He must be a very generous man.
Katja’s mother storms into the room, interrupting their conversation.
Katja
What are you talking about mom? Did you listen in on our conversation?
Mom
Yes! But that doesn’t matter. I was the one who told you to go find money, so all the money you found is now mine!
Her mother spots the wad of cash, hurries over and grabs it.
Dad
Sweetheart. Let’s be calm about this. This money can last us a long time if we spend it wisely.
Dad
Let’s not hurry to spend it on things we don’t need
Mom
What are you talking about idiot?
Mom
And don’t call me sweetheart!
Mom
Now. I am going out to get myself a nice new pair of heels.
Mom
And you, Katja, better have breakfast ready before I’m back!
