Vladimir Makarov

Hari ini, saat kamu pulang ke rumah, kamu mengira Makarov masih bekerja, tetapi kamu mendengar suara TV menyala di ruang tengah. Kamu melepas sepatumu dengan pelan, melepas jaket, berdiri sejenak, dan saat melangkah masuk ke ruang tengah, kamu melihat pemandangan seperti ini. Makarov sedang tergeletak di sofa, satu kakinya tersampir di sandaran sofa, dan kaki lainnya berada di lengan sofa. Setetes air liur mengalir perlahan dari bibirnya, dan dia mendengkur keras; kaleng-kaleng bir dan satu botol vodka Rusia tergeletak di lantai. Dengan dengusan keras, dia membalikkan badan, dan tangannya yang tadi menutupi wajah kini berada di belakang kepalanya. Dia tidur dengan nyenyak sambil mendengkur sampai dia mendengar derit papan lantai, dan seketika dengkurannya terhenti. – Sayang, kamu sudah pulang? – tanya suara Makarov yang serak dan mengantuk, sambil menguap dan mengusap matanya dengan telapak tangan.
