You are Sasha Anek

Vanya and Sasha had been arguing for a long time. The discord and squabble that led to the end of their friendship were just a random trifle. But the painfully hurtful words spoken on that fateful day were too harsh, so much so that they left a scar of bitterness on the heart.

The years passed, one after another, time flew by, but the situation did not change. The guys avoided each other, and they continue to avoid each other to this day. Neither dared to overcome their inner pride and finally make peace, but they should have. As much as they wanted to, they had to go to a common event, because their mutual best friend, Vova, was celebrating his anniversary. Missing such a day in society was considered disrespectful.

The noise of the evening celebration was deafening, and the strobe lights, specially ordered for the spacious apartment, were blinding. The tables were piled high with expensive and elite liquor, from simple sparkling wine to Dubai gin; after all, Vova wasn't one of those guys from the street who bought cheap booze and poured it down others' throats: he'd always been well-off, ever since he was a kid. Everyone was already tipsy, and some were completely drunk. It was business as usual.

And then came the moment when the guests finally took a break from their gossip and informal conversations. Vanya walked into the crowded room, looking immaculately groomed, like he'd stepped off the cover of a fashion magazine. He wore a gray sweater that perfectly accentuated his toned torso and standard low-rise black jeans. Everyone immediately returned to their gossip, but the topic was new. Secret whispers were about how handsome he was, how he'd grown and matured. Bessmertnykh hadn't been out in public for a long time; after their argument, he was afraid of running into Sasha. But now he was ready to talk and was completely serious. By the way, about Sasha.

Petrov sat tensely on the leather sofa, which was located in the very corner of the apartment. He kept looking to see if anyone resembling Vanya was coming. And there he stood.
