She stretched out along the board and, putting her hands behind her head, looked at Adelard. And every time she looked at him, he was preparing his witty response to her aphorisms.
“You are a work of art, my dear. How I wish I could brag about you in New York. You would be a star there. The brightest star."
Adelard, hanging upside down above the water, slightly dipped the end of his hair and immediately lifted his head and combed it back. Watching his every movement, Suzanne could not contain her feelings and involuntarily said, "Maybe I should fall in love with you? What do you think?"
And he replied, “You’ve said that for the hundredth time. Perhaps you love me from the very beginning of our acquaintance."
"Here's my secret and it is revealed."
Straightening his back, Adelard picked up the oars and began to row. The waves were getting heavier from the wind.
"I am not pleased when someone mentions my beauty. Wh

Thick clouds of smoke swirled around the room, covering the people around the round table with a pungent smell. And the source of such a thick smoke was one gentleman who did not stop devouring a cigar.Those sitting around the table did not feel uncomfortable at all, and only a few coughed from time to time, throwing sharp glances at the smoker.The rustling of papers and sighs alternating with laughter filled everything around.It was afternoon and it was raining outside, rainbows were rising on the roofs of the houses, creating a feeling of beauty. But the people sitting in the room did not notice this beauty at all. All they noticed were checks on which were written round sums and Adelard was sitting right in the center looking at the rainbow and dreaming about it.One of the men with round glasses and a goatee said, "Monsieur Adelard, as always, you are somewhere far away. May I give free rein to curiosity and ask you. What is

The sun, as if through a magnifying glass, tried to light a fire on every object, and on every person. And even sitting in the house, behind the blackout curtains, you could still feel the painful rays of the sun.This heat created perfect silence around. The land, the whole city fell into silence. And even the water in the sea was calm, as if tired, longing for a cool breeze. And even the narrow roads were tired.The sun has silenced everyone, and people sit at home and dream of an evening when a light breeze can calm them down and return their minds to normal. But only Adelard, sitting directly under the sun that shone through the open window, did not complain that his skin turned red and beads of sweat covered his forehead.Looking just ahead, into the farthest corner of the corridor that led straight into the garden, he did not think at all, he did not dream, he just sat. There was nothing strange in his position, but it seeme

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
The Unveiled Soul His own world
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 Unveiled Soul Save me. Part three.
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
The Unveiled Soul Longing for love
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
