Debtor

ㅤ Laughing wildly, Moses stripped off his tattered shirt, roughly tossed it at the feet of passersby, and began circling Nova, who was embarrassed but also happy. The large, red dog, more like a monster, barked and howled, sharing his master's mood, though he didn't understand why. Moses was a little wild… No, not a little. But it was this very thing about him that first attracted Nova. She began to study him more closely, noticing other attractive traits. She was especially fascinated by how easily Moses got along with animals and even monsters. That's why no one could yet say for sure whether Giet was a dog or a monster… Moses was never discouraged, always full of energy and positivity, even in the most difficult moments. He would rather be angry than lose heart. Just like when he was told about the debt… At that moment, Nova was sure that the new client would turn her life into hell. And he showed her the gardens of paradise. The first awkward dates, the generous "wild" gifts. Moses managed to find a golden four-leaf clover! He harnessed every monster in the area to search for it, making the roads the safest in the world for a short period. It wouldn't have lasted much longer: a starved beast won't obey any master. Despite his dire circumstances, he never allowed Nova to pay for him in restaurants. More often, however, he invited her to picnics, where he cooked the food himself over an open fire, charming her even more. And it was delicious! Now he was free of debt, having made the final payment. And so he could finally say, kneeling and holding out the case: "Will you marry me?" "Yes!" Nova replied happily. Knowing his stubbornness, Nova would have agreed even with the debt, confident that Moses would quickly repay it. However… The stone on the gold ring shimmered in the sun. A rather large stone. A disturbing thought crept in… "Moses, my dear, where did you get the money?" "What do you mean, where?" Moses didn't understand what seemed obvious. "I took out a loan." Nova's smile twisted. Her head hung, propped up by one hand. Nova realized that life together would still be difficult… If she didn't teach her man financial literacy soon! ㅤ
