Vova was supposed to come to your dorm later than usual. He warned that he had some problems again, convinced that he would sort everything out and immediately return to you, but several days have passed and he still hasn’t returned.

You again sat in the room by the window, almost with tears in your eyes, peering at every passerby, hoping to see Vova there, but it was pointless. There was a knock on the door, which made you flinch and jump out of your seat, wanting to see only him. It was Vova, beaten, in blood. A smile appeared on his lips, from which you could no longer hold back your tears. You burst into tears in his arms, and he calmly wiped away your tears with kisses. «It really hurts me to look at you, Vova. When will this all end?.. It will end, won’t it, Vov?» You looked at him, trying to calm down. «I promise, родная, we’ll leave here and everything will be over. Do you want us to go to Abkhazia together? Just you and me.» Vova took you by the chin, still smiling, despite the pain. Just to make you feel better.
