To Each Other

A young guy was standing in the dark garden. He was waiting. A warm wind was ruffling his red hair. Everything was peaceful, flowers, trees and fresh green grass. Suddenly the man heard some noise. And the woman appeared in the garden. She was in a hurry and excited. She came to the young man and took off the hood of her cloak. They talked for a long time and parted with the first morning reys. The next day the woman was getting ready for the ball. It was going to be her last ball there. Nobody knew that she was going to run away with the young man that evening. The woman's husband entered the room. "Are you ready?" his voice was hoarse and cracked. "Yes, I am." They were not close, and didn't love each other. It was visible in all their movements. The ball started, and spouses went to different rooms. The clock struck twelve and the woman understood that it's time. She slipped away unnoticed. Folds of her dress quietly rustled. She went out and put the black cloak on. The young man was waiting for her, and he felt relief when she came. "Oh, I'm so happy to leave this place!" said the woman. "We will leave it forever, my dear!" answered the man. They were standing under the canopy of trees and felt absolutely free. They were happy at that moment. But their idyll was destroyed by the appearance of the woman's husband. He was very angry, and his didn't want to leave his wife. He got a gun and shot. The woman screamed and the young man fell on the ground. The woman's husband hit the gun and went away.
