The house became unexpectedly silent.
In the morning, Larisa came down in the kitchen and couldn’t find coffee ready. The wood was no longer sitting next to the stove. The squeaking door kept squeezing, because there was no one else to repair it before she noticed.
One afternoon, one of her friends came to visit.
“Well, Larisa, did Vasile come back?
- No. But it’s gonna pass.
The woman looked at her carefully.
I don’t think it’s easy to know.
Larisa frowned.
What do you mean?
That you hurt him a lot. We all saw it. Only we were silent.
“Are you against me now?
I am not against you. But if I’m your friend, I have to tell you the truth. Sometimes you’ve been cruel to him.
Larisa felt her eyes were filled with tears.
I just wanted to push him to become more ambitious.
And do you think humiliating him help him?
