“It's too early,” she consoled herself periodically, “you need to be patient.” The clock passed, but Roma did not come. And the phone was silent. But still I wanted to believe in the good. At ten, there was no hope left. I realized that miracles do not happen, so today nothing will happen ...
I don’t understand why it suddenly struck me that Roma would appear that day. Maybe because he always congratulated me on March 8th. Always - this is the four and a half years that we met with him ...
Both of us were about thirty, but we still had not decided on our personal lives. Both preferred to live carefree, without promises and responsibilities - it was more convenient. Free relations had both pros and cons. Cons more. Firstly, we were constantly arguing over who should run the household and pay for cultural events (theater, concerts, etc.). Secondly, they did not fully trust each other, periodically rolled up jealousy scenes. We loved each other, but constantly cursed. They even ran away, promising that this was the end. However, after a couple of days, they invariably returned to their rented nest.
It happened before the New Year. We had a fight, deciding where to celebrate it. Roma insisted on a visit to his parents. I called him sissy and selfish, and he left. He returned three days later. With a huge teddy bear and a bag of products passed on to me by a potential mother-in-law.
“Of course you are mean,” he said frowningly, “but I feel bad without you.”
“Me without you, too,” I admitted. - Let's not quarrel anymore!
“Come on,” the beloved agreed.
It didn’t work out. The next quarrel occurred right on New Year. We celebrated it at the cottage of my friend Alla. There were many guests. After midnight, the people scattered throughout the house. Someone danced, someone dozed, someone continued to chew. Among the latter was Roma. He never liked to dance. It was not possible to persuade him this time. But I was not going to get bored and went dancing with my friend’s brother. Max went over too much, so he behaved too freely: either he tried to grab me in his arms, then he said ambiguous compliments. Roma pretended not to pay attention to it - until Max got to kiss me. Then Roma came up to us and, grabbing the guy by the chest, invited him to go out onto the terrace. He immediately agreed. Understanding what threatens the male conversation, I blocked their path:
- No showdowns! Clear?!
- Maybe I'm generally here third extra? Roma frowned.
- Do not talk nonsense! I got angry. - You yourself do not know how to have fun and do not give others!
“Sorry to interrupt,” the beloved grunted. - Have fun, I'm leaving.
- How do you leave? Without me?
“You feel fine without me!” He grinned.
Wearing a sheepskin coat, Roma went out. I am speechless. Good New Year begins!
- Varya, what happened? - running up, asked Alla. - Where is Romka?
“Do I know?” Left me and left!
I bit my lips so as not to cry.
“But there must be a reason!”
“I must ... He was jealous of me for Max.”
- That's stupid! Max is like a brother to you, you know him from the diaper.
- That's just it, and Roma ... he ... - sobbing bitterly, I buried myself in her shoulder.
Alla sympathetically stroked my back:
- Don’t worry, girlfriend. Tomorrow emotions will settle down, and everything will fall into place.
I made a mistake. When I returned home, Roma was no longer there. His shaving accessories were not in the bathroom, and his clothes disappeared from the closets. After some hesitation, I called him on my mobile.
- Roma, what a childish thing! Where are you?!
“What does it matter now?” - I heard in response.
- What does it mean? I have no words! You left home. With things ...
“This is no longer my home.” I’ll hand over the keys through one of my friends or give them to the concierge. Now leave me alone.
- Leave alone? Why?
“Didn't you understand?” Well, I’ll explain: we do not fit each other.
- Do not say this nonsense! I snorted. - Roma, I want to explain everything! Let's meet, talk ...
“There's nothing to talk about,” he interrupted. - I do not want to see you. Never.
“So you have no heart!” I cried out and dropped the phone in a big way.
Despite the anger, I hoped that everything would be settled soon (after all, we had already parted). She was waiting for Roma to return. But a month passed, another - and ... nothing. Forgetting my pride, I called him on his cell phone, but he did not answer. He didn’t answer the phone at home either. “It cannot be that our love ends so stupidly,” I thought in despair. I loved him even more than before. Probably the separation made it clear how dear he is to me. Man always appreciates what he loses.
... So, there was hope that Roma would come today. On International Women's Day. And now it is the eleventh hour, and he is not ... Having risen from the chair, I took a bottle of cognac from the table. “I'll get drunk and sleep,” she thought angrily. “To spite all the peasants in the world!” I just drank the first glass, when I heard the rattle of a key in the lock. Then - the steps, and Romka appeared in the doorway.
- Do not expel? Asked the beloved, hiding something behind his back.
“What are you ...” I whispered. “I was so ... so waiting for you ... Every day.” Every minute!
“Then you deserve a special present.” He smiled guiltily, then took a step forward and pulled a red velvet box from behind. - This is not a simple ring - an engagement ring. Do you understand why?
“I see,” I laughed, and hung on his neck.
