Waldo tries to become interested in Karola

On New Year's Eve, at a restaurant in Berlin, the singer Karola was entertaining the crowd with her singing and enchanting those present. At that moment, at a table near Karola, were Waldo and his friend Evellyn, enjoying the show. Waldo was still heartbroken because a few days earlier, Margarete had avoided him, preferring to wait for another bus going to Klauzberg rather than take the same car he had taken.

Evellyn said:

- Excuse my frankness, Waldo, but you're a real idiot.

- Is that something you say, Evellyn?

- My friend, do you see that beautiful woman singing over there? She loves you, and you don't appreciate her.

- That's nonsense...

Evellyn said:

- Look, Waldo, before the show, Karola spoke to me, and she was happy when she found out you were going to be here with me. And do you know what she said?

- What?

- I'd give anything for Waldo to look at me the way he looks at that crazy Margarete, who wants nothing to do with him. While she avoids getting on the bus with him, I leave home praying every day to see him, even if it's just for a moment." Do you understand, man?

- Well, I don't know what to say...

- Don't say it, act, simple as that. Look at this talented woman, with her beautiful voice, don't you think there are a lot of men here in Germany crazy about her? And with so many men, she still wants to be with you. Wake up to reality, man!

Waldo was devastated by her words. Evellyn said:

- I'm going.

- Already????

- I want you two to talk alone. Good night.

Evellyn left, and Waldo watched Karola singing, and he thought to himself:

- I want to love this woman so much, she deserves my love. Not that other one." I need to at least try...

After the show ended, Waldo invited Karola to sit at his table, and she said:

- I'm so glad you invited me, my dear. And imagine, I turned down someone else's invitation to be here with you.

- Really? And who was that person?

- A very close friend of an important German politician.

- Wow, I'm flattered.

- I'm a singer, and I feel very comfortable being next to an artist.

- Thank you very much!

Waldo and Karola spent the evening talking. Karola was trying to win the young man's heart, while Waldo wanted to shift the focus of his love for Margarete to Karola.
