Hello, friends! she said and took a seat next to me.
From our table to your table, I handed her a piece of melon on a plate.
Thank you, Arisha! And I have news for you!
Good or bad? George asked to clarify.
Im looking for a job If we are going to be liquidated, theres nothing else to wait! Its better to prepare a straw in advance! So, I noticed a vacancy, published by some recruitment agency. In fact, as it turned out, they have two vacancies! Olga said enigmatically.
We exchanged glances with George.
Well, its getting more and more interesting! he grinned.
In brief, a foreign company with the same sphere of activity needs a financial manager and chief accountant! Olga summed up in a solemn voice.
Wow! I exclaimed in surprise and exhaled deeply.
Its not just wow! said Olga offended. Its a sign from Heaven! Destiny! Where else will you both find such a fateful combination to work together further?
Perhaps, George agreed without much enthusiasm. However, I would prefer not to work with Arisha, but to live! Happily ever after!
One doesnt exclude the other! I declared. So, Olga?
Yes, yes, Arisha, Im about to sell you both! With giblets! she exclaimed triumphantly. No names yet, of course! I called that agency, without specifying our company. Then I asked if there was anything for me too, threw the fishing rod Well, their HR specialist will contact the customer and tell me the result about you! Ill let you know! Just dont forget to drag me to your place when you get the job.
Agreed! George promised.
Olga finished her melon and went home. I washed the dishes in the kitchen, anticipating the Wind of Changes, when a strange thought suddenly pierced my mind, and I flew back into Georges office.
Doesnt it strange that another foreign company appeared in our narrow sector, when
I didnt finish the sentence, as the lights went out throughout the building.
What difference does it make now? George sighed, hugging me gently, but
the front door to our floor slammed loudly, heavy steps were heard, and my heart began beating with a strange premonition, since at such a late time, no one usually were there, except for Olga and us
A security guard, probably. Because of the electricity, George supposed and decided to make sure he was right
That evening, saying goodbye and obviously forever to my almost second home, regretting only that the first one would never got my babies, which I naturally dreamed of, but constantly put off for tomorrow, because of my own complexes and fears (what if it didnt work out, or the child would be born unhealthy, or I would really turn into a fat cake, and George would start cheating on me), I stopped at the ajar door to Olgas office. She had forgotten her phone on the table, and it beeped about a new message received.
Oh, curiosity!.. I went over and read it.
Your candidates are welcome tomorrow at 2 pm,
floor No. 5, entrance B, building 77,
the 1st April Street.
Oh, my little witch! You were as always right, George grinned. And what Wind is blowing now?
The Wind of Love, I laughed, detaching myself from the situation.
The Wind of Love, I laughed, detaching myself from the situation.
Having drawn, like in childhood, two hearts pierced by an arrow, with dripping blood, on that date page in Olgas business diary, I took George by the hand, and we went out through the window into Heaven, not even wanting to think about who had ordered us the death
ugust 20025. The City of Rains
It was the other way round: in the City of Rains we were greeted by the Sun!
We stepped out of the express train onto a platform filled with sunlight.
No one will notice us, theres no need to rush anywhere, and we can do whatever we want, Denis said thoughtfully. Its so great to be absolutely free! Even if for 24 hours only.
Yes, Denis! I feel the happiest in the world! I said enthusiastically in response.
We walked through the City of Rains in the morning, hand in hand, both of us with small backpacks, wearing blue jeans, blue T-shirts and brown boots, just like the day I had my most important dream. Sometimes we stopped and passionately kissed each other, not ashamed of passers-by.
Think about it, Yana, this wouldnt have happened without that dream, Denis smiled.
It was the Guardian! He took me by the scruff of the neck like a kitten and poked with my nose in you, I smiled back.
We walked along my favorite embankment, checked out the temple, and then came to the place where girls used to arrive in white dresses with little bunches of flowers.
I wish I were here like that, too I thought.
Of course! Denis immediately read my thoughts. Thats how its going to be, next time.
We both were not free and owed something to everyone. It was scary to think how many people fussed around us, constantly demanding one thing or another, but offering nothing in return, not feeling even an elementary gratitude, not to mention respect.
Denis and I felt like completely alone beings in the Universe. Perhaps, apart from children, whom we saw too rarely for various reasons, nothing kept us on Earth.
