Deniska's voice pulled me out of my memories.
"Little fox, let's fly up. We're doing everything as agreed. Are you okay?"
"The best of all!" I get up on the seat and kiss my brother on the cheek. "Don't do anything stupid yourself!"
"No way!"
We sit down behind the store, Vaska and I take seats against its wall and wait. About ten minutes later, we hear footsteps and some kind of rattling. I look around the corner and see a young Turian woman dressed in a short jumpsuit skirt and a white T-shirt with a picture of the face of some creepy critter. She walks thoughtfully down the path, wearing sandals, but that doesn't stop her from kicking an empty plastic beer can in front of her. Her gaze is fixed into the distance, detached and thoughtful. Vaska and I hide around the corner and start giggling with our hands over our mouths.
"Shhh!" Deniska hisses at us. "Be quiet, you'll scare me off!" He comes over and also looks around the corner. A second later, he hides, looks at us, a malicious smile on his lips. "You're as accurate as ever, Foxi! Another lover. She's coming out now, and your party begins. Vasenka, make a serious face! Foxi, I'm counting on you! That's it, let's go."
The first part of the plan went like clockwork. Under Vasya's and my double pressure, Noverry gave up after two minutes. Our blue one put her on her bike, we all flew together to the Rinaris for a swimsuit for the turianka, and we warned her parents that she would be with us in the Mirror.
We arrived at the lake. There was already a table, blankets, and a steaming cauldron on the heater. All our noisy crowd of small fry were shouting and chasing a ball through the shallow water. There was no sign of Ham.
Tamil stood on the shore and looked after the younger ones. Tamil stood on the shore and looked after the younger ones. He turned around, saw us, green eyes flashed, raised his hand. He turned around, saw us, green eyes flashed, raised his hand.
"Hello everyone again! Hey, Noverry!"
"Hello, Tam," the Turian replied. There was confusion mixed with curiosity in her feelings. She looked around, looking for someone.
"Noverry, Noverry! Look at the mud crabs we caught!" The younger ones ran up in a noisy group.
"Come on, we'll show you," Gina says and takes Noverry's hand.
"Yes, yes! We'll show you!" Naina takes her other hand.
"Let's go quickly!" Vanka shouts, jumping up.
"They're so big, and they have claws - vo!" the younger one shows a fishing gesture.
Noverry laughs, changes her clothes and goes to watch the catch. He's in shallow water, in a netted dish.
The bike is humming, Ham is back, a hefty bouquet strapped to the seat behind him. He gets off the bike, unfastens the bouquet and goes to the water. The feelings are confusion, determination, and a little bit of fear.
Noverry turns around, sees Ham and smiles, he smiles back at her, but inside there is real panic. The girl approaches, without taking her eyes off her brother. He hesitates, standing at the water's edge.
"Hello, Haymon."
"Hello, Neverry. I flew to the foothills here.... Well, anyway... you are... here."
"What's that? Ham?"
"This is for you!" says the brother and hands her a bouquet.
"Thank you," the girl replies softly.
It's getting late. I'm sitting cross-legged on the bedspread, and Vasya is sitting next to me. We look at Ham and Noveri walking along the shore, they are holding hands and talking quietly about something. The Turian has a fluffy wreath on her head, which we wove for her from her own bouquet. Their feelings are like the sea - I'm rocking on them, I'm sitting and enjoying myself with my eyes closed. Deniska sits down between us, hugs Vaska and me, and says softly:
"We did well! Yes, girls?"
"Yeah! Well done!" I answer.
Vasya is silent, she rests her head on her brother's shoulder and is quietly sad.
"Let's get ready! It's going to get dark soon, and we haven't even cleaned up the trash yet." This is Deniska speaking. In about fifteen minutes, having collected everything and fixed it on the bikes, we are going home. Noverry gets on the bike to Ham, he will take her himself. Saying goodbye, we fly away.
It's completely dark, and I'm sitting on the fence outside my house, looking up at the sky. It's bright and starry here. There are two moons, but they are both much smaller than the earth's. One is bluish, the other is bright yellow. A shadow flickers and a growing buzz is heard. Ham has arrived, ahead of him flies a feeling of happiness, joy and some kind of ... inspiration. A real storm! He puts the bike next to me, and I jump off the fence and sit next to him. He turns around.
"Saw her off?"
"Yes!"
"How did everything go?"
"You know, I told her everything...."
"Have you confessed?"
"Yes! And she said that too!.."
My brother scoops me up in his arms and hugs me to him. I hug him back.
"Thank you, Little Fox! You're the best I've got!"
"You're welcome, Hame."
"I feel like it's going to be an unforgettable summer!" he says and starts laughing.
