История Одного Развода

My most treasured Yelena,

I am sorry that I forgot twice to call you. Of course it was very stupid of me. I regret very much that you worried about me and that you felt bad that your mom could see that.

You are mistaken when you imagine that I live wild night life, and you do not speak honestly when you say that you believe I will always do the same. You have known me for two and a half years. I do not appreciate it when you choose to forget everything about me except the last thing which offended you. It is no way to show love.

Again… I wish that you will understand that I am very sorry for not calling you when I stayed out late two nights ago. I hope that eventually you will be able to remember who I am and what I am like as a person.

Nothing in all the world will cause me to abandon you! Of course we want your health to be good. To live a long and happy life. But never fear that I will refuse you if some part of your health is not good. Here, when we take the vows of marriage we say, "I promise to love and cherish you in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, in good times and bad, until death parts us." I don't know what we swore to in the Russian wedding ceremony because I did not understand any of what was said. However, when I placed the ring on your finger and whispered, "with this ring, I thee wed"… my intention was (and still is) to love you through all things. "In sickness and in health." You are mine and I am yours… we are joined in love and nothing will keep us apart so long as the spark of life and love still lives in us.

I believe we will have a long and happy life together. But no matter what happens, I will be here for you and we will face all together. Da? Of course da!

Write me about your business with selling the apartment and buying tickets. I will be very happy when you have tickets!!!!!!!

Let me know what you find out about this passport stuff and I will tell you about flight information.

I will try to call the realtor today and see if she has any more info on houses. I am waiting to here from the appraiser… but if I don't here from him in the next couple days I will schedule an appraisal with someone else.

Love ya!!!!!!!

Hello Theodore Earl St.Mane!..LOL

It is funny…will you always call me now Yelena when you be angry with me? My day went good. After pleasant conversation with you I went to wash dishes and very soon Irina came to visit me. She brought presents for me and Alena and congrulated us with past women's holiday. I presented gift her also. We drink tea with cake and told, told, told a lot. It was good time because I didn't see her from time when I came from Moscow…we only told by phone. She went to home 7.30p.m and I with Alena acompany her to the bus. Then I with Alena went to the post office to pay phone bills and bought in the store food for supper. Just now we finished supper which I cooked very fast. All is o'k here. I hope you will have good day also.

Yelena.

Эпилог

1982. Зима.

Было 5 часов утра, когда они наконец-то подошли к дому номер 31 по улице Объединения. Поднялись на 5-й этаж. Он потихоньку чтобы не будить родителей открыл дверь своим ключом. В квартире было тихо. Он прикрыл дверь в коридоре и включил свет. Она тоже осторожно вошла. Потихоньку, стараясь не шуметь, разделись.

— Ну как ты себя чувствуешь? — шепотом спросил он, слегка обнимая ее за плечи.

— Ноги замерзли, — также шепотом ответила она, чуть прижавшись к нему.

— Что будем делать? — спросил он. — Горячий чай или в ванну ноги греть?

— Лучше в ванну, — сказала она.

Он набрал немного горячей воды.

— Отвернись, — попросила она. Он отвернулся. Она сняла джинсы, оставшись в одной длинной кофте. Осторожно вступила в ванну, придерживаясь за его плечо, присела на ее край, подстелив полотенце.

— Горячо, — тихо воскликнула она.

— Так и должно быть, — сказал он поворачиваясь. — Ноги скоро привыкнут. Ну а я на кухню. Что-нибудь там пока приготовлю. Может у отца коньяк еще найдется.

— Мне одной скучно будет, — улыбнулась она, слегка придержав его за руку. — Побудь со мной.

— Ну тогда подвинься, — улыбнулся он. — Мои ноги тоже замерзли.

Они долго и страстно целовались в ночной тишине спящего дома, лаская друг друга и не замечая что вода в ванне остывает..

А потом… она вдруг широко открыла свои большие глаза и посмотрела на него так что Олегу вдруг стало жарко.

— Подожди, — произнесла она несвойственным ей голосом и, привстав, повернулась к нему, положив руки ему на плечи.

Он непроизвольно прижал ее покрепче.

— Я люблю тебя Олежа, — говорила она.

— И я тебя, — отвечал он в сильном волнении.

— Я буду любить тебя вечно-вечно… — все также судорожно говорила она, чуть поднимая свою кофту. — Мне хорошо с тобой. Мы будем вместе всю жизнь… и никогда не надоедим друг другу… ведь правда?

— Конечно, — отвечал он, лаская ее обнаженное тело, и глаза его сами собой закрывались…

Самолет неторопливо приготовился, разбежался, и, сначала низко-низко над землей, а потом забирая все выше и выше, быстро превратился в маленькую точку и исчез в спокойном и чистом солнечном небе…

Они улетели…

Hello My Love,

Thank you for your call! It was wonderful to hear you and talk with you! It is great to hear happiness in your voice!

I also wish that you were here with me to sleep on my shoulder. I love you very much!

I didn't tell you very well about my show on the phone. I guess there is not much to tell. The show is good. It has some parts which I think are not so good and mostly because of poor direction by Greg. The set is beautiful! There is music and dancing in the show which is very cool. Most of the costumes are good with only one or two being goofy. lol I am happy with my costume as the bad guy. I will get a picture of myself in costume so I can show you.

I am still thinking about our phone conversation this morning. I love you very much and I feel so very good with you! It has been a long time for us to be apart, my new wife. lol I want to share my love with you. I want to feel you close to me and to talk and laugh with you everyday!

I am glad that Sereja liked his graduation present. I am looking forward to seeing Sereja and Aluna again! I hope your mom is well. I want very much to learn pa-ruskie so I can talk with her!

I think August could be okay for a wedding, but only if you are okay with simple wedding. Weddings are expensive and take much planning. Also, during summer months many, many people marry, so churches and other facilities are often very busy. We can try to do all in August if you want. I like the idea to do this sooner and not later… but I also want that we can enjoy this wedding and not be stressed out about it. What do you think? It will be fun to plan this wedding together! da?*S*
