anymore. Her work was a success, especially new articles. And despite this, she still wanted to change the very sphere of activity, lifestyle. Work at a more interesting and quiet job. She did not yet know what field of activity she needed to retrain for, and continued to engage in journalism. In the evening, friends had fun relaxing in a disco bar. They were sitting at the bar, listening to music and discussing the upcoming vacation. – There is not much time left before our trip! Just a couple of weeks. Have you prepared everything?
– You bombarded me with questions.
– Just one.
– Yes, almost. I have prepared everything.
– What do you mean almost?! Check everything.
– OK. Do not bother me. Both her face and neck turned red. These were the first signs of anger.
– Come on, let us dance.
– Come on, a little later. I am not ready to dance yet.
– Hi girls! A guy came up to the girls and kissed them both on the cheek.
– And here is Max! Sveta said happily. – We will leave you for a while. And the couple disappeared into the noisy crowd. Marina was left alone at the bar, finishing the cocktail she had ordered. The next day, Marina received a message from Sveta. – Hi, I sent you a video, the opening of the show in the «Miracle Beauty». Come in and look. Marina continued to do work. In her spare time, she looked through her friend’s mail. What a colorful video, the world of ancient Russia. This is interesting stuff. Maybe we should dig deeper.
– Hi, thanks for the video, this is what you need.
– It is all right, dear, I liked it too. I stumbled upon it by accident. And I immediately sent it to you. Now I want to get there too. I fell in love with this place. And what beautiful artists. Imagine, and we will see them in close-up when we arrive at the show.
– Svetik, you are infected with this place more than I am! Well, wow! I am even scared! Okay, bye, see you friend! Marina hung up the phone and stood silently with the phone in her hands. She was happy from a phone conversation with a friend. From the fact that someone shares her interest with her, and she has someone to share her thoughts with.
Sveta and Marina were best friends. They had been friends since their youth, and each of them valued friendship. In some ways, their tastes coincided, but they were completely different in character. Marina is a girl with a gentle nature, shy, kind, sensitive, could withdraw into herself. She liked to retire and reflect on various topics. She could also snap and scream, after which she was tormented by remorse. Marina did not like when the question of her personal life came up, it annoyed her very much.
Sveta, on the contrary, is a kind, open, ready to communicate person. They were two opposites. She could be the first to approach the guy and get to know him. Support any conversation. Resolve a conflict situation; find a free table in a cafe. Sveta is not as beautiful as Marina. She was simple, and not as graceful as Marina, but there was something about her, and she attracted something.
– Everything is ready to leave. We are leaving tomorrow night. Finally.
– I cannot understand how you can drive your car in such a heat.
– Mom, this is the decision of Sveta and Max. What is the big deal? It is easier for us. We will take away more gifts from the sea. Good night. Marina kissed her mother before going to bed, and lay down in her warm, cozy bed. She was thinking about the upcoming meeting with Artyom, being sure that this meeting would definitely happen.
– The beach is crowded.
– My God, what a heat!
– I will not leave my room until the evening. I am not going out in this heat at all.
– Marina, the sea name does not suit you, not how it does not fit. On the contrary, you should not leave the sea. Who called you that? Dad or Mom?
– I will clarify. When I clarify, I will definitely tell you. You go and swim, and I will look at you from the balcony!
– Good! Bye!
– Marina, stood and looked at the sea. A group of friends stayed at the same hotel where she once stayed with her aunt. The girl really did not like to swim in the sea, she liked to admire them more, or walk on the beach, walk on the water.
– You should not have gone. The water is great!
– I am going swimming tonight. I called my mom, my name is marine, and my mom called me that name.
– I was just joking. And that’s how you took it.
– Marina is not to be trifled with. Yes Marina. This is a very serious person! Let us better decide when we are going to the «Miracle Beauty». I am in favor of tomorrow. Marina looked sideways at her friend.
– I cannot understand why you are so drawn there!
– «I don’t know. I want to watch this fire show! Drink mead! It’s cool!
– Let’s do it tomorrow. If you have decided everything. Max silently agreed with everything that Svetlana would suggest. She was the leader in the relationship. He did not claim to be the leader. He liked everything Sveta did, and he loved her very much. A group of friends arrived at the venue long before the show started.
– What a wonderful place! Why haven’t I been here before?!
– Because you went to another place.
– Yes, that is right, you noticed. The weather was hot. And crowds of people went to the waterfall.
– Let’s join the tour?
– I agree!
– Maybe we will order a table and go.
– At least one sane person!
– Let’s get closer to the stage.
While Max and Sveta were choosing a table, Marina kept looking for the guy she had seen before. But he wasn’t there, disappointment was visible on her face. – Girlfriend, do not despair, you will definitely meet, and you told me about it yourself. Here we go to the waterfall. Let us go for a swim.
– And there was no motorcycle at the entrance. Marina spoke faintly. I cannot come here every day.
– Not all at the click of two fingers. If he is your destiny, then you will meet. Marina understood that her friend wanted to calm her down. And pretended to agree with her. Considering that, it was impossible to argue with Sveta.
– Here comes the tour group, let us join them. A group of friends followed the tour, Sveta and Max lagged behind a little, and Marina listened attentively to every word of the guide. She wanted to gather as much information as possible for her work.
– When I was here in May with Aunt Natasha, the river went beyond its limits, everything was blurred here.
– Yes, but that was in May. You were not warned that the waterfall
