Borrony Dmitry

– Yes. – he agreed. – This my headache. But whatever you may say, it is necessary to sleep the same. – he made a pause, then smiled. – Well, I will think up something. – he told. – I will go home and alone I will take seat for the computer, and I will compose.

Nina took an interest.

– You write?

What the man answered.

– I am a master art a word.

– And, about what you write?

– About everything.

– Namely?

– I write about policy in the country and the world.

Nina did not understand.

– You journalist?

– No. – that answered. – I am not a journalist. – then he explained. – I just write books on optical to it.

– And you are not afraid?

– What?

Nina carefully told.

– Nevertheless policy?

– No, I am not afraid to write on this subject. I do not write what should not be written. – He explained. – I scoop information from mass media. For example, the politician something talked, I wrote down and here to you a subject for the book. And then let will tell what I invented or that broke a military secret and they break I will tell you. – then he added. – Here, telecasts, discuss policy of Russia and together with it and to politician of other countries. Unless it is correct? The politician was put by it I will tell you. Somebody all the same will remain dissatisfied, agents will provide a compromising evidence, and on the air will tell a uterus the truth. There is one famous politician, was not afraid of all to lay over at full scale, to send where far away. The foreign translator could not translate his foul language, and Russians on the air said that they absolutely accurately could translate the Russian abuse. Here so, policy! And still cultural people!? – "I write these lines because it was actually, on the air. With one politician of Russia". – Than not food for history?

– This history is known, probably, by the whole world. – Nina confirmed. – It then for the whole world was broadcast as he on the air imposed all with a mat, and was not honored to apologize for it.

The man confirmed.

– That's it.

The electric train passed the Timiryazevskom station. Following the Savelovsky station, and there and the Belarusian station. Station of memory of heroes of the Second World War. Station of memory of our history, station of our victory.

The man having looked in a window, told.

– Soon final. – in his intonation the regret was felt. It seemed that he did not want to go out of this train. He wanted to go further and to talk to her, to this stranger whom he nevermore to see in the life but even if he will see, hardly he will approach it. He still is meanwhile married, and his wife needs in its supports. Savelovsky station. The electric train turns on the Belarusian direction, five more minutes, at most ten, and everything, the travel from Sheremetyevo Airport will come to an end. Parting. Heavy word, parting. Nobody wants to rustovatsya with someone, but to have. Sometimes this parting happens short, sometimes long. There is a bitter parting, and there is a sweet parting. Nobody knows how we will leave this or that person? Nobody knows it will be sad to us or not. To the stranger it was sad. He did not want to rustovatsya with it, with this woman. He wanted to be these minutes with it, to invite her somewhere, to sit in cafe or restaurant. But he could not make it, and the stranger did not want it the same. Obviously she understood that if it goes with it now, then it will be sore with it to both. Terrible this word, parting. On heart it is always heavy. The man looked at the woman. – You know. – he told. – You something remind me my Veronika.

Nina was surprised, and out of curiosity took an interest.

– Than?

– It same understanding, as well as you.

Nina smiled.

– All women understanding.

– No. – the stranger objected. – I met women nasty. Ready only to send the person where far away, without having allowed it to tell a uniform word.

– Yes. – Nina grinned. – We can.

Belarusians station. Final. The electric train stopped, doors opened. The woman and the man went out of the electric train.

The man took an interest.

– To see off you?

The woman wanted to refuse, but could not. She at this moment understood that she wanted to spend this time with it until it departs to America. It for it appeared interesting by the person, and the fact that he wrote about policy, interested her. Her sister, Natalia, to some extent too worked for political structure, and it, as well as this man departed and America. The truth it will depart tomorrow, and it already there will land. She wanted to know though something about its profession, and in it she considered, this stranger can help. She will ask him on this profession, and that it is possible, but she was not sure of it, will tell it about this profession.

– You see off. – she told, then added. – I live nearby, in Philly.

The man managed a smile.

– Philly?

– Yes. – claimed Nin. – In Philly. – then she with irony asked. – And you thought that, in the center?

The man positively pomotat the head, then having shrugged shoulders, told.

– Well, Philly – means Philly.

The woman grinned, then with irony told.

– Hero!?

The stranger, having looked at Nina felt in complete fools. He should not let have know to Nina that he did not assume that he thought that she lives in the center, and not on the suburb in any way. Well, this its mistake, and it was necessary to correct it urgently. He grinned, then told.

– I am a gentleman, and, as promised I will take you home.

Nina venomously inserted.

– To whom home? To you?

The man having strictly looked at Nina, told.

– You it is serious?

Having looked at Ning on the stranger, on his strict face which as if reproached her with something, she said that this thought not more familiarly that she not such as all. It is better than others. That is why he to it sat down in the electric train. Not because there was no place to sit down but because he counted it not such as everything, and it obviously same, as well as all women in this country and in the world are available too. This error should be corrected urgently. She told.

– No. – it was absolutely serious. Seriously, more than ever. She wanted to vanish into thin air for inappropriate irony. – I. – she admitted. – It is inappropriate joked.

The man slightly smiled. He was glad that the woman did not begin to continue this silly farce. He told.

– I am glad that you were the reasonable woman.

The woman having heard these words it was offended.

– You it about what?

The man answered.

– I think you know what I mean.

The woman immediately answered.

– Yes, of course. – then she added. – You are right.

– Well. – unexpectedly the man asked. – Let's eat by the subway or by electric train?

– By electric train.

Here on a public address system the dispatcher announced.

– "ELLEKTRICHKA to go TO ZVENIGOROD IN FIVE MINUTES". – then she told the same message in English. – "ON THE TRAIN ZVENIGOROD TOO IN FIVE MINUTES".

They passed through the bridge to other platform, and having got into the Zvenigorod electric train went towards area.
