My city 2: The terrifying history Zhalovskoy, or the Spider. Dmitry Guéorguiévitch Borrony
To Uvidev Ning, he wanted was what to tell, but kept silent. Seeing as that looks at it, he saw this man. The rival in fight for the right to become for Nina something bigger what just a friend. Who knows? What feelings overcame it? Hatred, contempt for this person near Nina? Can do it and so it and was? Who knows? But in any case it the look did not show it. He just got up, and went away from here, from this woman who as he considered was useless. Who was this person? Her husband? Groom? Well it would be just familiar. But who knows? From acquaintance till a marriage sometimes one step.
Nina immediately turned back, and asked.
– What do you do here?
The man quietly answered.
– Arrived to you. – then he added. – But I see I at the wrong time.
Nina steamed.
– No! From what did you take it? – she looked at Will. – And! – she guessed. – I understood. – she hurried to acquaint both men with each other. – get acquainted. – she told. – Will, this Roman. Roman, Will.
Having looked at the novel on Will with some unpleasant look, having given it a hand, told.
– Very pleasantly.
Having understood a situation, remained to do nothing to Will as having just given Romana a hand to answer.
– To me the same.
Men shook hands each other. Stared each other in eyes, kind of speaking each other, here you do not fit. The pause lasted long enough until Nina told.
– What do you and awake to stand? Give at last. – here she made a pause. Seeing as two men look at each other, and nobody conceded to another. They were capable of everything. On everything on the fact that the man at jealousy is capable. Nina told. – But whether not to pay to you to me a visit, vyty to tea, you will get acquainted closer. – here it having approached it is rather close to both men, told. – I do not want that you because of me quarreled. World boys. – then she set a condition. – Or I will leave now.
Men looked at Nina. It seemed that they never to reconcile, but here Will told.
– I remembered, I still have for today affairs. – he politely smiled and told. – Allow to take the leave.
It turned, and went to the bus-stop as suddenly heard Nina's voice.
– The bus will be in hour – then she shouted. – Do not play the fool Will! Wait at me!
Will looked back.
Roman shouted.
– Well really, Will? Do not behave as the small child. – then he added. – Look at the sky, the rain gathers!
Will looked at the sky. Clouds captivated heaven. The sun just about to sroitsya behind clouds. Wind walked between trees. Driving their to the right, to the left. Branches swung as if wings, and foliage soared under a stream of strong wind, playing one of the playful songs on wind.
Nina hurried to shout.
– Go! – it showed a hand on trees. – You see, the HURRICANE! – then she as if demanded. – Go! Rather!
Will remained nothing how to obey to Nin. All three ran in an entrance of the multi-storey building, and wind closed behind them a door.
– FAUGH! – holding heart Nina with relief sighed. – were in time.
Wind howled more and stronger. It seemed that it gains strength, and just about will strike a thunder and the lightning will strike. So it also occurred. Did not pass also minutes ever since as all three ran in an entrance as suddenly, struck a thunder of such force that its echo was слышан not only in Philly and the next quarter, but also across all Moscow, and beyond its limits the peal of a thunder and its echo was distributed. Then, the lightning as Zeus's arrow struck a forest park of Filersky district. Tops of trees became black. They charred, and began to exhale an intolerable smell of smoke. Just about wildfire will run high, but it did not occur. Continuous heavy rain spilled to Moscow. Having dispersed all animals in different directions. They were hidden where it is only possible. At open entrances of houses, in the apartments, in holes. Yes! The rain such was not since the eightieth years of the twentieth century. I remember the most long rain, it poured the whole week.
But we will return to our heroes. Where they now? Swear or not? Let's look.
Having entered an entrance, they managed to avoid a peal of a thunder and lightning stroke. Nina was touched deeply, and told. – FAUGH! – holding heart Nina with relief sighed. – Were in time. – But you already know about it. What occurred then? And then there was a following. Will stupidly looked at Nina, his face was puzzled. He did not understand what now occurred. It came to be at this entrance as suddenly? – what suddenly? – he thought this minute, and represented if he was on street at this moment as this peal of a thunder was distributed. Thunder terrible deafening fight, and lightning stroke. – What now there, behind this door? On the street? – Will thought. What now there occurs? – and the most important question on whom it had no answer. – Why this thunder was distributed after it appeared here, with these people? At this entrance of a house? – on this question it had no answer. He asked Nina.
– What was it?
Nina shrugged shoulders, then told.
– I do not know. – she made a pause, then added. – Natalia. – she did not know why she told this name? She felt that something happened? Something that cannot be corrected. Her heart clenched in a fist. She felt how it shrank and as if the knife pierced her maiden heart. Everything is over. Nina told again. – Natalia. – she pronounced this word as if said goodbye to her forever. – NATALIA.
Men helped Nina to rise by the following floor, then by following. So far they did not reach the platform on which its apartment was located. Having opened an entrance door, Nina entered the apartment, with two men. Roman locked a door, and asked.
– Nina, with you everything is all right?
– Yes. – Nina answered holding heart, and panting. – With me everything is all right. – she asked men to lead her to the room and to put on a bed. Then she told: – Here is how everything happens. – she made a long long pause, then heaved a deep sigh and told. – Will.
– I listen. – he bent down to it and began to listen that she tells.
– You fly to the wife to Veronika. She waits for you. – then she assured him. – I know it, precisely. – she looked at Roman and tenderly smiled. – The novel, you found me. – she told. – Obviously this Natalia gave you my address. – then she made a pause and asked. – Make to me tea.
Roman hurried to answer.
– Of course.
It passed on kitchen, and Will remained with Nina alone. Nina told it.
– Will. Forget me. You have a wife. Is more useless to the married person to have the mistress.
– I know it.
– Then what the entrance had a representation? – Nina became angry and demanded the answer. – I wait. You speak.
Will answered.
– I am not guilty. – it came true. – This is Roman. – he told. Then added. – He was jealous of me of you. Here I also wanted to leave, but you asked me to remain.
Nina did not begin to justify herself. And Will continued to speak.
– This hurricane? – he questioned. – From where did it undertake? – he looked in a window for which he a solid wall poured a rain in buckets, told. – Long ago I did not see such weather. – he looked at Nina. – Hurricane Katrina. – he grinned. And as if through hysterical tears added. – How long it was.
Nina took an interest.
– You were there?
Will heaved a deep sigh.
– Children. –
