You and Pavel were in a relationship even before he was put behind bars.

Although he was quite rude to others and even to you, you felt safe with him.

But after he was taken to prison, you stopped feeling like that.

Your life is divided into "before" and "after".

Despite the fact that Kashchey is a full-fledged bandit, you loved him and waited for all seven years. He promised that he would definitely come home and not stop loving you, and you believed him, even though it was stupid.

It was hard enough for you to live without him.

You don't know how to describe it, but you can say for sure - without his presence next to you, you literally lost yourself. Yes, you've already graduated from college, got a job, but you couldn't let Pavel go.

Every year after he disappeared, you looked out the window, expecting your boyfriend to show up at any time. But he wasn't there.

You waited and, it seems, without realizing it, you waited.

It was getting closer to night, and you had just returned from work exhausted and wanting to go to a warm bed. You didn't have time to change your clothes, because a knock on your door suddenly distracted you from continuing your business.

You come closer, pressing your ear to the surface, and then you start in fright when the knock comes again.

Who can come to you so late?

"Stop making noise. Who is this?"

You ask.

There was no peephole on your door, so had to use the questions. But you didn't get an answer.

After being silent for a few seconds, you finally open the door.

"Well, hello, beautiful, it's been a long time since I've seen you."

Kashchey is smiling and holding a cake in one hand.

"Come here, at least give me a hug for the sake of decency."

You're speechless.

He's back. Your beloved has returned from prison.
