Love doesn’t always win (the script)

Author: The love story I want to tell you had its beginning on the Saint Valentine's Day - let us suppose that it took place on the 14th of February, 2010 - and its head took place a year later, on the 14th of February, 2011.

    Robert King, an american, met a Belgian woman called Sabine on a bus trip to Havana while he was on holiday in Cuba. It happened on the 14th of February, 2010. They liked each other and spent the following week together. When she decided to return home, she said him:

Sabine:  You know, I think, I have fallen in love with you. I can’t live without you. The last week was the best in my life. Hence I can’t imagine my life without you. You are the only one I want to be with.

Robert: Sabine, excuse me… It is so unexpectedly… I don’t even know how to say… I have a girlfriend and we love each other. We are going to marry the next month… I thought we are friends and I can’t imagine you as someone more for me than just a good friend. Sorry…

Sabine: But… You were so attentive to me… So careful… So tender… How foolish I was???!!!

She turned round and ran away from him. He called her, asked to stop running from him… But he was late…

  

Author: Back in Canada, he realised Sabine could be the woman of his life and began his efforts to track her down. Robert left his bride, having understood that she is not a woman of his life. So having no information about Sabine, he simply didn't see at first any wayout, but then he invented the method to find her. Some people will say with certainty, that he simply became mad, but it is not true. All people, who have ever loved, will never consider Robert to be mad, they will understand his acts.

   Thus, he looked up in the phonebook the addresses of all women named Sabine. There were 3,700 of them. He was schoked that it's such a popular name, but Robert didn't give up. Mr King wrote at first to all the women named Sabine in Brussels. Then he sent letters to the Sabines in Namur, then the rest of the country.

    It continued during all the year, 2010. Sometimes Robert thought that all his actions were senseless. However, he found her at last. But he didn't find her by letter, it was her brother who had heard about his search on the Belgian radio and told Sabine about Robert, knowing about her last year trip.

   So Sabine called Robert.

Sabine: Are you the Robert, with whom I got acquainted year ago?

Robert: Yes, I am… I was looking for you during all the year. After you had gone home, I understood, that I love you… Love you more than life! I really need you!!!

Sabine: And what about your bride? You are to be married, aren’t you???

Robert: No, I am not married… I left her when I understood that I love you.

Sabine: Well…

Robert: I want you to be my wife… Will you marry me?

Sabine: Robert… I feel so sorry for you…But all your pains to find me have been vain. I am already married and I am happy with my husband.

Author: It was the beginning of 2011, exactly the day of their first meeting – the 14^th of February… And became the day of Robert’s death – after the talk with Sabine he took poison…
