Transience

I'll tell you the story of a young, beautiful, and intelligent girl named Laura. She was a cheerful and cheerful person who loved to laugh and have her head in the clouds. Everyone felt at ease and special around her.

She was 16 when she first experienced love, bitterness, and despair.

This is her story.

It was early spring, everything coming to life. Lilacs were blooming in the trees, and birds were singing love songs.

A girl with ruby ​​hair and emerald eyes was walking through the park,

humming one of her favorite songs.

Suddenly, a large dog ran up to her. At first, Laura was frightened by it, but after a moment, she smiled and petted the dog.

Moments later, she noticed an older boy not far from her, calling the dog's name. "Piorun," for that was her new friend's name, pricked up his ears and ran to his master.

The girl smiled and continued walking.

A moment later, the same dog appeared, this time with his handler, who timidly apologized for his friend's behavior.

Laura realized the boy was blind. At first, she wasn't sure how to react, as she had never met a disabled person before, but she finally regained her composure and introduced herself.

It turned out the young man's name was Adrian and he was two years older than her. They chatted for a while and then politely said goodbye.

That night, Laura couldn't stop thinking about the boy from the park.

She kept seeing his ebony hair flowing gently down his neck, his azure eyes reminiscent of the ocean's depths, and the radiant smile on his face.

She decided that tomorrow at the same time, she would go to this magical place for a walk, and perhaps, with a bit of luck, she would meet him again. And

so she did.

The day, like the previous one, was very bright and sunny. The squirrels jumping in the trees resembled children playing tag, and the birds chirped a familiar song.

The girl was walking down the same alley as yesterday, and suddenly, to her delight, Piorun approached her with Adrian. The boy immediately realized it was her, as he remembered the oriental scent of her perfume.

They began talking again.

Adrian told her about the accident that had left him blind. Laura, in turn, began telling him that she wanted to become a painter.

After a moment's thought, she asked if she could paint him.

The boy was initially embarrassed, but finally agreed.

They arranged to meet in the park the next day.

For the next few afternoons, they met so that Laura could paint him freely. One day, Adrian asked her if she wanted to go to a concert of their favorite band with him. Of course, he emphasized that if she didn't want to, he would understand.

Laura was delighted with the proposal and accepted it with a smile.

After the concert, they decided to go to "their park."

The boy asked her to tell him what the sky looked like that night.

The girl gladly complied. She said she had just seen a shooting star. She began to tell him that it had a certain symbolism—it meant that a soul had been cleansed of its sins and could peacefully pass on to paradise.

Suddenly, she felt Adrian begin to kiss her. With a pleasant smile, she surrendered to his kiss.

From then on, they met not so much as friends, but as partners.

Laura's family took a great liking to the boy, just as Adrian's parents did to her.

One day, Adrian's mother called the girl to tell her that her son had been hit by a car and was now seriously injured in the hospital.

Laura quickly ran to her beloved.

At first, the doctors refused to let her in, but finally relented when they noticed the boy was desperately demanding it.

When the girl saw the body lying on the bed, she burst into tears.

Adrian then quietly begged her not to cry after his death.

Laura began to frantically explain that he certainly wouldn't die, that everything would work out, and they would continue to be happy together.

The boy replied that he knew she was dying because such things were felt.

He begged her not to despair; he would always be with her with his love.

He told her that if she loved him, she should swear to him that she would do everything to be happy, that she would become a famous painter, marry, and have beautiful children.

The girl began to scream that she didn't want any of this if he wasn't there.

The boy replied, "Swear," so Laura complied.

She kissed his full lips, and Adrian died with a smile on his face.

It was early spring, everything coming to life. Lilacs were blooming on the trees.

Birds sing love songs.

A woman with ruby ​​hair and emerald eyes walks through the park, pushing a stroller with her husband and six-month-old son, Adrian.

She smiles and thinks about how ten years ago, in this same park, she met a boy with the same name as her son.
