My childhood was wonderful, I think, or rather, it certainly was. For a moment, he succumbs to a strong nostalgia..through the eyes of his imagination, he sees himself as a small and joyful boy playing with other children. Those were very different times, they definitely had something magical about them, something that cannot really be clearly defined. Everything was different then, the sun shone differently, the blue sky was clearer, the seasons had their limits, time passed more slowly. The most beautiful Christmas spent with family near and far, full of snow and frost so strong that today everyone would probably receive alerts for extreme weather. What a travesty! Spring also had its charm, the snow melted slowly revealing gradually greening grass. And summer? Ah! The smell of ripening grain, fruit on the trees, literally an explosion of life..and autumn..beautiful, dignified and colorful-only it remained almost unchanged....
- Boys be careful! - shouted the woman louder while bringing Adam to the present.
- Be careful! If you are not polite we will sell you to this master! - she threatened them. It was evident that effectively because the children immediately became docile.
- Nothing is wrong, let them play," replied Adam. The woman smiled slightly, her husband seemed to be absent from the whole situation.
Just as the noise of children playing suddenly appeared, it suddenly disappeared. There was a kind of deep silence, even the birds became silent and only the light rustling of green leaves could be heard. The park is a very well-kept place, you can see that the city cares about the cleanliness and comfort of its residents. Man with nature has a very strong connection, it is impossible to explain this relationship, but certainly there is no better zone for tranquility, relaxation than such a place, he thought.
Walking further, he notices the stooped figure of a woman sitting on a bench and surreptitiously wiping her tears. At first glance, she seems to be internally shattered, experiencing some kind of trauma, something very painful. Not only does this life give us as much reason to be happy as a cat could eat, it definitely does not spare us from these difficult and traumatic experiences. Suddenly, some homeless alcoholic firmly inserted approaches her....
- Manager dear, help me ! I am short of 6 zlotys for bread," he shouted in his hoarse voice.
- Please leave me ! - She replied, wiping her face with a handkerchief.
- Well don't be such a scrooge lady, show your heart - he replied irritated.
- Leave me !!! - she said it almost shouting.
Adam is definitely speeding up, he knows that such alcoholic types can go completely berserk and yet one will do her harm. He notices that there is no one else nearby, I wonder what would have happened if he had not appeared here, one dreads to think.
- Fuck off !!! - roared in a low and strong voice standing up for the woman.
Yegomaniac of questionable sobriety was not a man of large stature, the sight of another and more powerful guy worked and inexpressibly apologizing quickly moved away.
- Thank you, sir, this is the first time something like this has happened to me," she said.
- No problem," he replied. - You have to be careful, because such types hang around," he added.
He still glanced in the direction of the dark alley, as if he wanted to make sure that no one was following them. He took the opportunity to ask :
- Why were you crying, did something happen? - he asked unwillingly.
- As a rule, I don't talk to strangers, but you have helped me, so I think I can tell you," she said. - My husband and I recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. We love each other and have a wonderful family. A few days ago, my husband felt worse and we went to the doctor," she continued. - He did tests there, x-rays, showed nothing so he went home. Today I had a call from the clinic that, however, the husband's results after consulting another doctor are inconclusive. They are asking for contact and his return to the clinic. Probably it is a fatal disease in the early stages, it is necessary to repeat the tests. In case of confirmation, at most six months of life is left," at this point she interrupted suppressing the already flowing tears.
- Please be of good cheer," says Adam. - Such situations happen, doctors often misinterpret the results or are simply wrong. They are also people like us - saying this he wanted to comfort her.
- He does not know anything yet, how will I tell him ? - she asked.
- Tell your husband that the doctors ask you to contact them to complete additional tests. Please do not tell him about the suspicions, it could kill him psychologically. Let the doctors be restrained in this too," he suggested.
- Thank you! I have to go now," she replied. Her gaze stopped on him as if she wanted to ask something else.
- Who exactly are you ? - full of surprise she asked feeling blissful after this conversation.
“She herself does not yet know that this man will save her husband”-continued soon.
