When several clouds appeared in the sky, everything around was plunged into darkness.
Now, it was the most ordinary night.
"Do I need a brother, a friend or someone else?" Adelard asked him the same question and feeling the coolness, got up and began to look down at the water, which was quietly sleeping.
Now, the whole city fell asleep.
"I have a house nearby. Would you like to go there?!" Arthur suddenly asked.
Adelard, with the naivete of a child, still did not know much about people and could not read between the lines. But what could be strange about the fact that his new friend invited him to his house?
So he said, "It's getting late. I think Nicholas is waiting for me."
"And Nicholas, who is he?!"
"He works for me. For everyone he is a servant, but for me he is a dear person who spent all his youth on me. His best years."
"Well, let's go then?! I'll
Amid the noisy devices and various scents that were the sweetest in the world, thousands of workers from morning to night stirred the mixture, which slowly took on a vivid aroma and color.Round pots, which could accommodate a whole pool, served as a place for the creation of future soap. And among all this, among the incomprehensible things, oils that were in strange jars, Adelard wandered, feeling only emptiness.His factory, which was making the most fragrant soap around the world has always been a topic of conversation. After all, it was here that chemists worked wonders, being able to make it so that after using Adelard's soap, the skin will shine and smell for a whole week.After all, even the sign in front of the factory door was keep saying: The shine of millions of stars.Yes, "The Shine of Stars" was the name that was written in golden letters on every soap box.The Shine of Stars was the only thing Adela
Through fatigue and headache, Adelard slowly began to fall asleep right on the table, surrounded by papers with numbers. And the right hand lightly touched the square soap in the perfect golden color package. It seemed like it was real gold.The dream lasted only a few minutes and when he opened his eyes in horror, he saw the gazes in front of him.All his family members, who left him, looked at him with a smile. And only the photograph of his father did not smile. And only his father looked at him slightly viciously.Closing his eyes, he laid his head on the table and whispered, "I need to see a doctor."Turning on the desk lamp, he glanced at the clock and then at the stack of papers.For the first time, he thought about what he wants in this life. And for the first time, he envisioned a completely different life. But these performances disappeared the moment his secretary entered the office.&nb
Seeing all the tenderness that was in those green eyes, Gaspard still remembered how to cry. But the tears did not want to come out, they were just somewhere inside the heart, making him experience severe pain."Everything will be fine. Here, you need to gain strength. The doctor will come soon and you will feel better," Adelard said and heard Arthur's clear voice. "I'll leave you. Rest and sleep. Don't be afraid, you are safe here."Gaspard didn't know what to say. He didn't know what to think about at all. After all, he had met such a person for the first time in his short life.The moment Adelard left the room, Gaspard was able to cry. But these were just a few drops of tears that left an emptiness in his soul."Something happened to Monsieur Adelard?!""No. But I think he needs help."As soon as Adelard went down the stairs, Arthur literally attacked him with surprised eyes.&nbs
The night was quiet, calm, and Adelard's voice was too soft to be true. And Adelard's voice was the only hope for which Gaspard lived all this time."Adelard, I expected that we would spend this evening differently. But you surprised me a lot. You have a good heart. Which means that it will be hard for you," Arthur said, eating the apple.Noticing that Gaspard had already begun to fall asleep, Adelard carefully removed the tray and said, "Stop saying the same words over and over again. Arthur, you better tell me when you leave and why did you burst into my life?"Going to the window, Arthur breathed in the cool air, which already carried the shades of the morning. And Adelard, on the other side of the bed, standing next to the sleeping man, repeated the name to himself. And repeating the name of that girl, he knew it was so hard to be in love.And now, walking on different sides of the room, they were like two ang
Another day was like every other day. The sea waves painted patterns understandable only to water; the sounds of birds flew over people's heads in hats and over the manes of horses that walked forward.With the onset of morning, Adelard quickly left the house without a word. Today, he was unable to speak. And instead of thoughts, words, he was attracted by some other force forward.In a light white sleeveless shirt, white pants and a hat, he rode forward on his old bicycle. Curly hair was swinging right in wind's embrace, while a faint smile on his face met the warm breeze.Passing by shops with flowers and vegetables, he smiled at everyone he saw along the way, and they, too, smiled in return.Long and slender legs moved quickly and erect posture gave his image a kind of swan. And he didn't care that the hat could fly away. He didn't care."Monsieur! How are you doing?!" an elderly man who was sellin
Time was running forward. The wings flew high into the sky, leaving green land, blue and green sea far below, under white shoes that continued to feel the grass on which they stood together.Adelard was in a dream. Her voice was still ringing in his ears, and he could feel her tears on his cheeks. But the fact that he learned to fly was undoubtedly his imagination, and in fact, he was just driving very fast forward. So fast that the whole world became the same color. Passing by the carriages, which were in a hurry along with the people who nervously sat and looked out the window, Adelard managed to scare the horses several times and create noise throughout the small town.Two wheels, like two wings, flew forward, quickly, along with the rhythm of his heart. But when he did not notice the young man in the black cloak and bumped into him and almost fell, he came to his senses and said awkwardly, "Forgive me."But the you
Among abandoned houses that have already turned into a real labyrinth, stopping in front of a broken wall, Adelard wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a small notebook from his bag. On the first page was the address written in capital letters: GREEN LIGHT FARM. And next to these words was written finely and neatly: Madame Lucy.Putting the notebook back in his bag, Adelard relaxed his shoulders and fixed his anxious gaze into the distance, where sea and sky became one.And this landscape was visible through the broken wall, the bricks of which were scattered everywhere.Hearing the disturbing sounds of the sea, Adelard lifted his head up. The hot sun rays were ready to reach his very soul. There was no one around. Even birds, even insects. He was completely alone. On an empty part of the town, where the echoes of the past dwelt.When the sun became too unbearable, Adelard threw another glance
Sebastian, a boy of fifteen, was old enough to distinguish simple silence from gloomy silence. Tired, understanding life and people, this boy has already managed to earn dark circles under his eyes. His almost blonde hair was soaked in the scent of a farmhouse, and tanned skin accentuated his thin face.Perhaps he heard their conversation, perhaps he guessed everything, but nevertheless, he did not say anything.They were separated only by a leather sofa, which stood right in the middle of the corridor."Your mom needs to think. Shall we take a walk?" Adelard asked, pointing to the beautiful landscape that was open before their eyes.Sebastian said nothing, he just followed the tall figure, which quickly found himself outside the house.It was quiet around. Even the wind did not rustle the foliage of the trees. The air was filled with the scent of fruits and flowers. Green hills, with bright green grass, smoothly des
