106. The Husband Will Pay


A man and a woman from the Family Management course is talking to each other at a desk at the back of the classroom during an activity in the Case Study session. Both of them are married, but not to each other.

Man: They have study leave from first December. The course here ends on thirtieth November.

Woman: Hmm.

Man: Today is sixth October already. We don’t even have two more months. Do we stop meeting each other after that?

Woman: (silence)

Man: How about enrolling for another course in January?

Woman (looking up): Which course?

Man: Any. Does not matter.

Woman: That is rather weird.

Man: Is there any other way of spending time together?

Woman: I have a family. I can’t simply go out and meet you.

Man: Which is why another course is the best option. We enroll and then it is up to us to come to class or not.

Woman: It does not come for free, you know. There are course fees.

Man (winks): Your husband will pay for it.

Woman: (silence)

Man: There is no hurry. Think some more at home. In the meantime I will get information on what courses are available from January.
