Capture Your Heart

That day, she sits alone until late at night, so that later she has a severe cold.

It has been some years since she comes to Zurich. Karin has never been sick for a dozen days. She thinks that she can resist the cold, and she will be cured in three or five days without medicine.

But this time, she seems that even taking the medicine for a week, she doesn’t recover, but she vomits.

Her life has returned to normality. There are several times when she is working in the cafe, staring at the place where he often sits, thinking, maybe this is what she wants.

Just when Karin thinks that maybe she would never see Charlie again, he appears at noon.

The café is naturally exciting again and with joy, she bows her head and tries to suppress the shock in her heart.

Charlie doesn't come alone. He is accompanied by two Germans, who are talking softly in English.

"Karin, I have a bad stomach at noon. Could you help me get coffees to table eight."

Karin is shocked. Of course she knows that the guests at table 8 is Charlie and his friends. She blurts out, "I don't have time."

"What? You're not busy right now, please. My stomach hurts. Do you know who is at table eight? That's my dream lover..."

"Then you ask someone to help you." She just doesn't want to do it anyway.

"No, in our coffee shop, only you can resist the charm of Charlie. You have to help me..."

The waitress covers her belly, and sweat rushes out, "Come on."

Karin is indifferent and has to agree, "All right."

Holding a tray in her hand, she takes difficult steps and slowly moves to Charlie.

"Mr. Charlie, please enjoy yourself."

They haven’t met for many days, but he is already like a stranger. She calls him Mr. Charlie, but he doesn't even look at her.
