Purple color of lilac

The end of May. The weather outside is too warm and sunny. It would seem that this fact already lifts the mood, but not for Annushka. She hasn’t left the house for about two months, but why? It’s simple. Sasha left. Sasha took it and abandoned her, and why? All because of that damn Mark. She left Annushka for Markusha, as Sasha called them both. That same sweet, gentle, sometimes impulsive, red-haired girl left her and went to some guy after 4 years of their relationship. Hurt? Of course it hurts, because this was the love of her life. Anya saw no point in life after her departure. The world is in black colors, nothing makes you happy anymore, and you don’t really want to. Life has turned into Groundhog Day. You wake up, have breakfast, lie down all day, sometimes have dinner, sleep. There is absolutely no desire to do anything. I don’t want to go for a walk. I don’t want to communicate with anyone. I only want to be close to one, but now she doesn’t want that anymore. Sasha left. No scandals. No screaming. Silently. She presented it with a fact and left. It was only later that Anya found out about Mark. Annushka knew that this would happen soon, so she tried to spend more time with Sasha, but she did not share her interests. I walked with Mark, visited him, posted photos with him. What did Anya do? She waited. She waited until late at night, waiting for Sasha to return home, lie down next to her, hug her, kiss her before bed, tell her how much she loves her. But this has not happened for the last 3 months in their relationship. Where is that sparkle in your eyes, Sasha, when you confessed your love to me? Where is that light that was there at 14? Where is the zeal, desire, interest that was 4 years ago? *** Annushka had already walked away a little, so she decided to take a walk anyway, because if she didn’t hang herself on the street or somewhere else, she would simply hang herself at home. She wanted to add some variety to her day. She took a shower for the first time in the last week, cleaned herself up, cleaned the house a little, had lunch, which she hadn’t done for the last two months, got ready and went outside. Still, it’s more pleasant to breathe on the street itself than at home near the window. The air was much fresher and smelled beautifully of different flowers. May was quite warm. Annushka knew that now is the peak when lilacs bloom. Every year, around these dates, she and Sasha went to VDNKh to the lilac alley. Sasha really liked these bushes, and Annushka did not share the red-haired’s delight at all, but now she wanted to be there and inhale that terrible smell of lilac, which she simply couldn’t stand, but what wouldn’t you do for the sake of your beloved, right? She got into the taxi she had ordered earlier and headed in that direction. Deafening music played in her ears, which she had never heard in her life, especially at such a volume, but now this is exactly what Annushka wanted. It seemed like quiet, calm Anna, with music pounding in her ears, and she was heading exactly to the place she hated most. This is what love does to people. After some time, Annushka was there. Before I could get out of the car, the sharp smell of lilac hit my nose. Why is she here? Probably come to poison your soul. Anna walked further and sat down on the bench, right under the lilac tree that Sasha adored. It was much more beautiful than the others, it smelled richer and was purple-violet, at least that’s what Sasha said, for Anya herself this bush was a very ordinary bush, with smelly flowers. Anna was in her thoughts and headphones, so she didn’t even notice how the girl sat down next to her. Seeing that the girl was moving her lips, and they were alone here, Anya took off her earphone and asked again. — I say, what is such a sweet and attractive girl doing here alone? The girl looked sweet, and her voice was simply delightful, so Anya decided not to send her away or answer her rudely. — I decided to take a little walk, and you? — why did she even decide that the girl was also alone? — I had a fight with my friend, so I left home. — Well, we are just sisters in misfortune. — Anya laughed. — So you’re not just sitting there? Anya nodded silently, and the girl looked into Anya’s eyes, meeting each other’s gaze. — Beautiful eyes, Annushka noted to herself. — By the way, my name is Kamila, otherwise I didn’t even introduce myself. — The smiling girl extended her hand. — Anya. — and she accepted it. As soon as Anna touched someone else’s hand, it seemed to become easier to breathe, the smell no longer hit her nose so much, but smelled pleasant, and the lilac actually became more purple. The girl sharply shook her head in different directions, refusing to believe in what was happening, but when she opened her eyes, she saw the same picture: Kamila, who did not understand anything, and purple, purple lilac. — Can’t be. — Anya expressed herself out loud. — What’s happened? — Camila looked confused. — Lilacs are really purple. Kamila laughed and leaned towards her new friend’s ear and said: — That’s what love at first sight does to people.
