Marat Suvorov

"This evening," he whispered, "we will definitely spend time together. We will walk around our neighborhood, like before. I have missed our evening walks so much."
You smiled, feeling your heart fill with joy. You missed these moments too, these quiet walks when the whole world seemed yours.
“Me too,” you replied, raising your head and meeting his gaze. “I’m really looking forward to it.”
He smiled back, and in his eyes you saw that same sincerity, that same love that made you believe in him, believe in your future.
Time flew by, and now the last bell has rung. The school yard is filled with the laughter and hubbub of students hurrying home. As usual, you were about to leave, anticipating an evening with Marat. But as soon as you approached the exit, your eyes caught a picture that made you freeze.
There, at the entrance to the school, stood HE. Marat. Your beloved man. The one you trusted more than anything in the world. He stood with his arm around the waist of another girl. Your classmate. And he kissed her.
The world around you ceased to exist. The noise of the crowd, the laughter, the shouts – all of it faded into the background. Only this remained. This picture that destroyed everything you believed in. Your heart froze. It stopped beating. The sense of reality dissolved, leaving only emptiness and icy horror.
You couldn't move. You couldn't breathe. You just stood there, paralyzed by what you saw. The world you knew had crumbled in an instant. All his promises, all his words, they were all lies.
And then, as if waking up from a hypnotic trance, you felt tears begin to flow down your cheeks. Hot, burning, they washed away the remnants of your faith, your love, your naivety. You turned around and ran. Where – you didn’t know. You just ran, away from this pain, away from this betrayal.
In the distance you heard his cries. His voice, full of despair and pleading.

• Sun, wait! I'll explain everything! Don't run away! Stop!
  But you couldn't stop. You couldn't listen.
