-It is the beginning of a new day, the first rays of sunlight begin to peek through the horizon through the houses and buildings, people walking the streets wander to their jobs, schools or any specific area.
Many of those people go to a special coffee shop called "Would you like something to go?" It's small, nothing special just a place where people go to have some coffee or eat something' they didn't have that many customers as the place was hardly and known.
- Inside the place there is a woman at the cash register of a somewhat mature age.
Her long wavy and soft hair of a dark brown and shiny color, her clothing was an apron under her usual work clothes, she serves coffee to the customers with a nice smile and quite reserved' near her another girl was younger between 18 and 20 years old, her short hair, her expressive eyes that let her talkative and playful nature to be seen.
-Mrs Rin.... tell me, haven't you met a beau lately? I've seen how men throw compliments at her when they see her.
- The employee said with a suggestive smile, seemingly curious about her boss's personal life.
-H-he? N-no nothing like that Maggie, you know I don't have time for those things I prefer to focus on the cafeteria. - With a smile, she took a cup and served coffee to a customer in a delicate and professional way as she always did.
Her employee Maggie snorted, she knew that her boss was very conservative with things related to her personal life, especially the romantic stuff, but she always asked herself "Am I her friend? Why doesn't she tell me anything? she remembered a specific topic and decided to comment on it.
-You told me once that you were married, didn't you? So .... is that why you don't pay attention to men? You already have someone waiting for you at home.
- Maggie smirked thinking that the answer was what she expected.
Rin who was smiling suddenly her smile faded but she tried to put it back on quickly.
-I don't want to talk about it, I don't have anyone waiting for me at home, you should be working and not interrogating your boss's life.
- Rin commented with a small pout on her lips and looking at her as if she was giving her an order, but her expression made her look more like a little girl because of the gesture made unconsciously.
Maggie sees the customers, they are wearing impatient faces waiting to be served so she quickly goes to serve the customers before her boss scolds her again.
-My marriage ...
- she says to herself Rin while she stares at the window for a few brief moments, talking about her marriage had never been easy' since the person who was her husband hurt her a lot and made her life what it is now, she kept remembering details of the past and suddenly she came out of her thoughts when she saw the door of the store open.
Good morning! Welcome! Would you like something to take away?
- Rin said with a radiant smile to welcome the people entering her establishment.
- But the smile that she always shows in a friendly way in front of the customers is erased again and her expression denotes irritation when she sees the 2 people who enter her cafeteria.
Maggie notices that they are Gonther and Philips, two lenders to whom her boss owes a large amount of money that was used to buy the place, but it still did not generate enough to pay it all.
-Good morning gentlemen.... - Rin spits without really wanting to look the guys in the face.
The men see her with arrogant smiles and worse, they show grimaces of disgust as one of them comes closer and decides to open his mouth.
Philips: No need to have formalities Mrs. Rin, you know why we are here' and it would be very gratifying if you already have the loan money we would not want to take action against your ..... small local.
-The man speaking is Philips who represents him and his partner,
He frowns quickly when he sees that she doesn't look him in the face.
-As a lower class woman you should look your social superiors in the eye when they talk, you know Ms. Rin? - he spoke again looking at her with disgust.
Rin looks up and sees him with embarrassment, it was already common for her the way she was seen with every visit of those individuals to the place.
-I'm sorry, I don't have the money yet, but if you give me more time....
- She is interrupted by Ghonter, the fat man of the duo, who while he sees her and eats some candies that he takes from the shelf without permission decides to interrupt her.
- It's been 4 months and still nothing, it has been disappointing to offer our services to you, the poor will always be poor even if they have a business, what garbage?
Maggie sees the shame and humiliation in the look of her boss, she wanted to interpose herself and take her out of this conversation so ....Unpleasant?
But the last time she did that she was reprimanded for butting in.
-Rin lowers her gaze and hides her irritation in a forced smile, trying not to be affected.
trying not to look affected.
-Gentlemen, I know I have not been able to pay as it is due is that I have several expenses and I have more than this business, but please' if you give me more time I can make a payment plan to pay what I owe I know it is quite a lot, but if you give me the opportunity I know we can move forward.
Philips looks at his shiny watch and notices the time before sighing heavily, his companion continues to devour the sweets on the shelf without paying much attention to the subject they have come for.
-All right, you'll have until the end of the month to give us an advance, or we'll take action against your establishment.
-Thank you very much! You don't know how much I appreciate it, I swear I'll have something for you by the end of the month!
- Rin shouted, unable to hide her relief at having a little more time to pay for the loan.
Philips looks at her with little interest and willing to leave, Ghonter approached her while he eats from the candies he stole from the shelf and looks her up and down with little taste.
-He spits what he was chewing on the floor and goes after his companion, Rin sighs with relief to see them leave and takes a mop' passes it through the dirt left by that short man and a few extra pounds.
Maggie sees her and approaches her quickly knows that she is discouraged and that her excitement is in chaos, but she always tries to cheer her up and knows that it will be difficult to get a good amount of money for these guys by the end of the month.
-Boss Rin ....
-Don't worry Maggie~, I'm fine I know that you're worried but it's my cafeteria I'll find some solution.....
-Rin said with an air of exhaustion.
Maggie does not say more, she knows that her opinion can do little or nothing so she can only see her and support her spiritually, the rest of the day was as always working hard and serving coffee to customers sometimes resting in the hours that there were not many people until it was 6 pm and Rin with the help of her employee closes the doors of the store thus concluding with a new day of work.
-Boss, I know that .... wants to focus on her work and that she may not have time to meet someone, but I recommend it could make a difference in her day to day life.
-Maggie hands a piece of paper to her boss and with a smile leaves.
Rin with curiosity and a furrowed brow looks at the paper she receives from her employee, it's a dating website and quickly sees her in the distance with a barely noticeable smile.
-That girl doesn't learn.....But maybe she's right....
