The Sun Was Shining Part 2



Everything was arranged. Magda and Ania were leaving Warsaw on July 15th. They were flying to the Dominican Republic, and from there their ship was leaving the next day. They were about to experience an unforgettable adventure.
A few days before their departure, both of them had become obsessed with buying all sorts of unnecessary things.
They wanted to be prepared for anything. Slowly, their suitcases filled with summer dresses, skirts, shorts, tank tops, flip-flops, and other fashionable items. All the best, of course. Their parents considered spending money on such trivial things truly foolish, so the girls had to buy everything with their own pocket money, which melted like ice on a hot day. Finally, when there was nothing left in their wallets, they zipped up their suitcases and showed up at Okęcie Airport in Warsaw. They said goodbye to their parents, assuring them they wouldn't smoke, drink, do drugs, and under no circumstances would they approach strange men. When the long monologue of prohibitions and prohibitions, interrupted by their mothers' sobs, finally ended, the girls, breathing a sigh of relief, boarded the Boeing 767 that was taking them on an unearthly journey.
"Finally free!" Ania screamed as the plane took off. "We're leaving the gray world behind. Aren't you happy?" she asked, seeing her friend's face.
"Of course I'm happy. You have no idea how happy I am... only... only...
" "Only what?
" "I can't believe it all. I think I'm about to wake up and...
" "You're starting again..." Ania sighed. "Look at these people, don't they look real?" She gestured to the plane's passengers. Magda glanced at them and saw an old man picking his nose.
"Ugh..." they both burst out laughing. "You're right. Only he looks too real.
The flight took about 10 hours. Despite that, the time flew by rather quickly. They gorged on salted peanuts and drank apple juice or Coke. For almost the entire journey, Magda spent time explaining to Ania how she planned to woo Mr. Bloom. However, when she noticed she was nodding off, she changed the subject. After about six hours of chatter, they both fell asleep. They only woke up when the stewardess asked everyone to fasten their seatbelts and prepare for landing.
Radio Zet correspondent Grzesiu, an older, very pleasant Pole living permanently in the Dominican Republic, arrived at the airport in Santa de Cuba to pick up the girls. He was an older, very nice Pole living in the Dominican Republic. Magda commented that despite his baldness, he was quite handsome. The "guardian" told them he would take them to the hotel now, and tomorrow morning he would pick them up, and they would go straight to the port where the ship Marine was waiting.
When the exhausted and barely alive girls finally reached the small hotel, they lay down on the bed and fell asleep without a second thought. The ringing of the alarm clock woke them up from their blissful slumber.
"I haven't brushed my teeth yet, Mom," Ania mumbled in her sleep. Magda reached for the clock on the bedside table. It was 7:15.
"Get up, you crazy girl!" she said, yawning. "We have to get going. That guy from the radio is coming at eight.
" "Just a few more minutes and I'll be up. Just…" she suddenly snored loudly.
"You wanted this yourself." Magda got up and went to the bathroom. She returned with a glass of water in her hand. "I'm counting to three," she stood over Ania. "If you don't get up soon, I'll pour this over your head.
" "God, you nasty creature." Ania sat down on the bed, yawning.
At eight, washed, combed, and in new clothes, they stood in front of Grzesiek's car.
"So how are the girls?" he greeted them, taking their suitcases and putting them in the trunk.
"A little nervous, but overall, everything's fine.
" "That's very good. So you know everything?" The ship leaves at 9:00, and I'll be back to pick you up in exactly seven days. Got it?" The girls nodded. "Well, no more nonsense," he smiled at them with a wink. "All three of them got in the car.
After about 30 minutes, Magda and Ania were already in their rooms on the ship. Grzesiu put down their luggage and immediately said goodbye. The girls looked around the room. It was better than their wildest dreams. The room was divided into two bedrooms and one elegant bathroom.
Everything was furnished with taste and elegance.
"Magda, we're... we're in paradise!" Ania whispered. But Magda wasn't listening. She was lost in thought again. She was wondering where Orlando's room was and when she'd get to see him. Of course, she was happy to have the opportunity to see other famous people, but he was the most important person to her. "Magda!" Ania tugged on her hand. "Are you even listening to me?" Magda looked at her, confused.
"Yes, of course," she tried to evade.
"Sure... You're probably thinking about Bloom. I'll even bet.
" "Of course, about him. I've never been this close to him. Do you understand that? Orlando Bloom is within my reach!
" "But he's...
" "Divine!" Magda interrupted. She knew exactly how Anne felt about him and didn't want to hear it now. Besides, she didn't want anyone to insult him at all.
"I wouldn't put it that way. I'd say he's...
" "Stop it," she snapped. "He's divine, period!
" "As you wish..." Besides, I'm going to do some sightseeing and then swim." Anne reached for her bag with her swimsuit and towel. She loved swimming. "Are you coming with me?
" "Sure. Why not?"
The girls explored almost the entire ship. Of course, it turned out that a certain section of the ship was reserved just for the stars, where ordinary passengers weren't allowed. Probably the more luxurious one.
"This is the height of rudeness. Why do they have more rights than us?" Ania complained to Magda.
"Maybe because they have about 20 million złoty in their bank accounts?" As she spoke, she stared at the sign hanging on the massive wooden door.
FOR VIP ONLY.
"Come on, we won't be standing here like calves. We'll swim in the outdoor pool. It was the coolest there. And you can sunbathe.
" "Ania, does that mean I won't see Bloom?" Magda looked as if she'd aged ten years.
"Hey, come on! You'll definitely see him," Ania grabbed her friend's arm. "He won't be sitting there all the time. Besides, why worry about it? Look at the beautiful weather and how many handsome men are hanging around." Magda looked around. A dark-skinned boy with dark hair, who looked like he was Spanish or something, smiled faintly at her. "This is where our real life begins," Ania continued. "Our paradise on earth."
"Come on. My paradise will begin when I see Bloom.
" "God," Ania rolled her eyes to the heavens, "why did you punish me with such a crazy friend? Magda, you'd better look for someone real, not this...
" "Don't finish, okay?"
"Okay, I'm not saying anything anymore, or you'll beat me up."
The girls spread out their towels by the pool. Most of the loungers were occupied by tourists. Magda tried to take it all in. The people, the pool, the sea. She wanted to memorize every detail (she'd forgotten her camera, which she considered an unforgivable mistake).
After a moment, about 10 meters in front of her, the same boy who had smiled at her earlier appeared. He was quite handsome. Only now he wasn't looking at her; instead, he was talking to some suspicious guy with a beard who looked like an Arab. Magda must have stared at the two men for a long time, because Ania finally tugged at her towel.
"Who did you spot?" she asked, looking in the same direction as Magda. After a moment, she added, "Oh, I see. He's quite good. Talk to him.
" "Are you even talking?" Magda blushed.
"I'm not stupid. I've seen you staring at that guy for about ten minutes."
"No, he's just a bit suspicious, that's all.
" "He's rather sexy," Ania persisted.
"Listen, if you like him, approach him yourself. There's only one guy for me," Ania snorted contemptuously.
"Stop your daydreaming and come down to earth," she said, putting on her sunglasses and lying down on a towel. After a moment, the stranger ended the conversation and began walking towards where Magda was lying. When he saw her looking at him, he smiled, revealing a row of snow-white teeth. For a moment, the girl thought he was going to approach her, but he passed her and moved on. The suspicious man with the beard remained standing in the same spot, looking around nervously and muttering something under his breath. Magda watched him for a long moment, then lay down next to Ania.

She came to see me from her hometown by passenger train. We'd already been together for quite a while, over a year, I think, but it does...
