"...goodbye Georg, ...goodbye forever..." said Maria in a melancholic voice.
"No please! Don't leave me! I'm sorry, please just don't leave me!" As he said those words Maria started to fade away and away and then she was gone...
"NOOOO!" Georg woke up abruptly with sweat dropping off his forehead. He needed to forget the incident that happened last night or these nightmares would become worse and worse. He should be the happiest man in the whole world right now because he'd just won the most well-known competition in Austria, but he is not. He wondered why. Could it be that he is now so busy that he can't spend much time with his family? Or is it just guilt that overflowed him? What ever the reason was, he wanted some nice soothing breakfast that was completely different from the meal he had last night at the party.
After Maria had come back from her early-morning read, in the dining room, Maria was having breakfast all by herself because the children and uncle Max were out to watch the new circus-act that came to town a few weeks ago. Maria had left the Captain to sleep in bed because she knew how tired he was, since his hair was all ruffled up and he stunk of sweat and wine before he enter bed. Even-though she was proud and grateful of him for winning so much money for the family, she felt the Captain needed to spend more time to his family and pay more attention to Maria as his wife. Interrupted from her thoughts, the captain walked into the dining room dressed in highly expensive clothes, which made Maria look as if doesn't belong in this house.
"Good morning, darling." Said Maria cheerful. Without any warning, Georg grabbed Maria's face and planted a deep, forceful kiss on her lips, " You know I love you, right?" Asked Georg breathlessly, " eh...Yeah of course, and I love you too." said Maria still searching for oxygen. "So..how did you sleep last night, I noticed you were very tired when you came home last night." Asked Maria breaking the long awkward silence, "eh...yeah I slept pretty good."Lied Georg. He looked around, and realised that the house is awfully quiet. "Where are the children and Max, may I ask?"
"oh, they are out to watch the new circus-act that just came to town"
"oh really that sounds interesting," said Georg trying to keep a steady voice , "oh and Maria I need to talk to you about the new caretakers that I've employed."
"OK, go on."
"There are two mid-aged ladies who will be doing the cooking and mostly cleaning the house and a man aged thirty, who will be our gardener."
"Well that's a relieve, that means we'll have a lot less things to do."
"Yep. And one more thing you'd have to introduce the house to them your-self, because tomorrow I will have to meet up with some famous orchestras that will accompany me in the winter concert, ok?." Immediately, Maria expression became annoyed and sad, "Fine." With that Maria tried to walk out of the dining room normally and trying to hold back her tears, leaving the confused captain to wonder what he had said wrong.
How could he do this to us, going out nearly ever single day and coming home in the middle of the night, it's lime as if he is trying to avoid us or something. How could he just do that? Thought Maria angrily. Suddenly something popped up in Maria's mind. She remembered how Georg acted towards her this morning. It was very strange indeed. Because she knew he wouldn't just walk inside the door and starting kissing his wife madly, unless he was very upset or did something wrong but has not told her. She knew something wasn't right. And she planed to find out exactly what the problem was.
