A Boyfriend for My Wife Page #8

-Tell the truth, no, tell the truth.

-OK.

-He's like this all the time...

-lf we go on like this...

-He's like this all the time...

-lf we go on like this...

l'm not going to talk anymore.

lf you refuse to tell the truth...

it makes things very hard.

This is a joke, Blanca.

Well, of course it's a joke.

What l will say,

and that's why l came...

is that in the last 2 years...

l've felt very lonely.

l'm not talking about a day, a week

or a month, but 2 years.

Because when the person you choose

to spend your life with...

to have a family with...

to keep you company,

starts making things difficult...

it's not very pleasant for anyone,

at least not for me.

And when l tried...

to change things, l fantasised

about us becoming parents.

l would've like to hear that,

but you never said it.

-Did l never tell you?

-You never said so.

No, just a moment...

That's not true, no.

No, just a moment...

That's not true, no.

Tell the truth. Don't lie.

What's the doctor going to say,

-So we never spoke?

-Never.

OK. Fine. Even so you had no right...

to give up and spend all day indoors...

Tana...

lt was too much, wasn't it?

Alright, l acted badly,

but what l did turned out

pretty well for you.

but what l did turned out

pretty well for you.

You got going again.

You see, Blanca?

Well... look at her.

Look at yourself. You're more beautiful,

you feel better.

So what l did... to a certain extent...

didn't go too badly...

You never knew the talent you had

to do things.

And when you began to change,

l fell in love with you

all over again.

l began to feel what l had felt

at the very beginning...

when we started going out together,

and l wanted to stop everything,

Tana, but couldn't.

lt could happen to anyone.

That's why l say...

lf you still love me, l'm here.

l want you to come backto me.

l want you at my side again.

How does that sound to you, Tana?

l don't know. The thing is that...

l don't know. l had no problem

with him, honestly.

l mean...

l was in a bad way, obviously.

And...

l just don't know. l still loved you,

but other things that don't include

you have happened to me.

l always thought that at 30...

l would be settled professionally,

at ease with myself,

but perhaps

it's onlyjust happening.

l'm sorry, l know you would've

liked it to happen earlier...

Well... it's late, l don't know.

But l'm not that old, 30 something.

But maybe it's only now

l can start thinking...

or could have started thinking

about having kids,

although l haven't the slightest idea

about how to work a microwave,

let alone look after a kid,

but... l could've started thinking.

Uh... perhaps l see things

differently to him.

l don't think people can be happy

all the time,

least of all couples.

But it's not very brave...

to run off

after the first little crisis.

What l liked

about being married to you...

is that l thought...

l was the one in everything,

even with my screwed up personality,

with the swearing, the cellulitis...

with all that is bad in me.

Or l thought you did.

Or l thought you did.

But, well, l was wrong.

And now you talk about sex...

l'd never thought that it was

that important.

lt's only now l see

how important it is.

Love for me was being able to...

l feel ashamed to say this, but...

sitting on the sofa reading

the Sunday paper...

l thought that was part

of being in love...

Or taking you a tea

when you were ill in bed.

Me too.

l imagine you must have formed...

some ideas about yourself too, right?

Your fears? l don't know.

Why the surprise? What fears?

Why that shocked expression?

l don't get it.

-l'm not shocked.

-But... l never ever criticised you.

Fear of everything,

of losing your business, of your dad,

of me, because you did all this

for a reason.

Fear of fear, because you're a coward.

Fear paralyses you...

and makes you do

those dumb things you do...

l don't know if you sawwhat he does

with his tongue, Blanca,

that drives me crazy.

l can't say any more because

l'm very angry.

lt helps me to speak, to understand

what our problems are...

lt helps me to speak, to understand

what our problems are...

or were,

although we can't do anything

about it now. lt helps me.

Well...

ln that case...

you'll have to try...

to retain the

good times you did have...

that you surely did have...

and separate on the best terms.

Excuse me.

Yes, l...

lt'd be important for me...

to have another session,

what do you say?

Why not take a few days...

to think it over before you ring me?

-No, l don't know.

-OK.

How much do l owe you?

-240.

-How much?

How much?

-Have you got...?

-Yes, l do, wait.

-Have you got anything?

-What, don't you have it?

Yes, but l don't know if it's enough.

How much have you got?

l've got 200 here.

-l've got 100. Let me have that.

-Hey, hang on, Tenso.

Hello.

Hello?

What do you want?

l wanted to know how you were.

l received the summons.

You knew it was coming.

Yes, l knew.

l thought you were going to warn me.

Yes, l warned you.

l imagined you were going

to act differently.

lt hurts...

-l have to sign...

-Yes... then we all sign.

We'll worry about that

at the end ofthe hearing.

-Do we sign together?

-Yes, all together.

-Polsky and Ferro.

-But if l don't...

Polsky and Ferro.

The secretary's a little late.

Come back in two hours.

-What did he say?

-The secretary's a little late...

-Has it been postponed?

-No... it hasn't.

Where are you going?

What?

-Are you staying?

-Yes.

-You can't smoke here, can you?

-l don't know. Smoke if you want.

l'll be back.

-Here you are.

-Thank you.

-Yes?

-A ham and cheese roll.

There's no cold meat left.

Something sweet?

No, thanks.

A coffee when you can.

Excuse me... can l?

Of course.

Want some?

Want some?

Speakto me, say, yes, l'll have some.

-Yes, l'll have some.

-Ah...

How long to go?

-An hour.

-An hour?

That's a lot.

What shall we do?

That always happens.

-Shall we talk?

-Let's talk.

How are things? Are you well?

-Diego ''Tenso'' Polsky.

-''Tana'' Ferro, pleased to meet you.

-How are you?

-At your service.

Polsky, Ferro.

Polsky, Ferro.

l really want to apologise if...

lt'sjust that...

l really want to apologise if...

lt'sjust that...

And is Miss Natalia good to you?

Stop, stop...!

l didn't know what l was doing.

What a surprise!

People are looking... they're staring.

They pay their taxes, that's all...

Forgive me, forgive me...
