„You know what today is, don’t you?“ He chuckled and waited in front of
her. 
„You know exactly that I know what today is, Robert. Don’t act with such a
childish behaviour.” He saw a glance in her eyes that was somehow difficult to
interpret but he said nothing. 
“Childish behaviour? I just stated a well-known fact. Are you unhappy?” He
was a little bit surprised because he thought she would be happy, so he was at
the moment. 
“Don’t be stupid, Robert. The circumstance that today is a special day will
not change the fact that I don’t like this day.” Her words were harsh and
she went away. Robert just sighted and went after her. 
“Wait, Rosa.” He has the feeling when he would let go of her now, she would
just leave. He reached his hand out and grabbed hers. 
“I know, as a gentleman, it is not the best way to do what I will do but…
Aren’t you curious what is in here?” He pointed at a small package. 
“I am not interested in this kind of celebration. I have not, had not and will
never be happy. Each year is just a lost year in science.” She was so unhappy.
Robert doesn’t like this look in her face. 
“They didn’t celebrate it, didn’t they?” He knew what the problem was.
He saw that she clinched her hands to fists. 
“You know exactly they haven’t. And now, leave me alone with all this.”
She was angry and went away. 
He doesn’t know exactly what he should do, so he grabbed the gift, opened it,
went after her and hugs her from behind. 
“Don’t leave me, Rosalind. If you go now, you will just be unhappy as every
year, not getting a gift, not getting celebrations, not getting the warm feeling
of happiness. Even if it will just last for a moment. Please, don’t go.” As
he stated his monologue, he placed the necklace around her neck and closed it. 
“The cage suits you well, my beloved Rosalind. Closed, you won’t let a
person near you and opened you are just an emotional women. You let me into your
world and closed down again. But I am happy right now and so you should also be.
Happy Birthday Rosalind. I hope we will be together for a few others.” Yes, he
hoped it really.
