Path book 1 Igor chapter 6

Ali stood on the shore and looked after the younger ones. He turned around, saw us, green eyes flashed, raised his hand.

— Hello everyone again! Basma, hello!

-Hello, Ali,— the Turian replied. There was confusion mixed with curiosity in her feelings. She looked around, looking for someone.

— Basma, Basma! Look at the mud slaves we've caught! The younger ones ran up in a noisy group.

"Come on, we'll show you," Azanti says and takes Basma by the hand.

— Yes, yes! We'll show you! Nasar takes her other hand.

— Let's go quickly! Vanka shouts, jumping up.

"They're so big, and they've got claws!" — the younger one shows a fishing gesture. Basma laughs, changes her clothes and goes to watch the catch. He's in shallow water, in a netted dish.

The bike is humming, and Azat has returned, with a hefty bouquet strapped to the seat behind him. He gets off the bike, unfastens the bouquet and goes to the water. The feelings are confusion, determination, and a little bit of fear.

Basma turns around, sees Azat and smiles, he smiles back at her, but inside there is a real panic. The girl approaches, without taking her eyes off her brother. He hesitates, standing at the water's edge.

— Hello, Azat.

— Hello, Basma. I flew to the foothills here.... Well, anyway... you are... here.

"What's that?" Azat?

— This is for you! — says the brother and hands her a bouquet.

-Thank you,— the girl replies softly.

It's getting late. I'm sitting cross-legged on the bedspread, and Bina is sitting next to me. We look at Azat and Basma walking along the shore, they are holding hands and talking quietly about something. The Turian has a fluffy wreath on her head, which we wove for her from her own bouquet. Their feelings are like the sea — I'm rocking on them, I'm sitting and enjoying myself with my eyes closed. Deniska sits down between us, hugs Bina and me, and says softly, "We're doing great! Yes, boys?

— Yeah! Well done! — I answer. Bina snorts indignantly. She doesn't like being addressed in the masculine gender. Then Bina silently laid her head on her brother's shoulder and was quietly sad.

— Let's get ready! It's going to get dark soon, and we haven't even cleaned up the trash yet," says Deniska.

In about fifteen minutes, having collected everything and fixed it on the bikes, we are going home. Basma gets on a bike to Azat, he will take her himself. Saying goodbye, we fly away.

It's completely dark, and I'm sitting on the fence outside my house, looking up at the sky. It's bright and starry here. There are two moons, but they are both much smaller than the earth's. One is bluish, the other is bright yellow. A shadow flickers and a growing buzz is heard. Azat arrived, ahead of him flies a feeling of happiness, joy and some kind of ... inspiration. A real storm! He puts the bike next to me, and I jump off the fence and sit next to him. He turns around.

"Saw you off?"

— yes!

— How did it go?

"You know, I told her everything."...

"You confessed?"

— yes! And she said that too!..

My friend scoops me up and hugs me to him. I hug him back.

— Thank you, Snake! You're my best!

— You're welcome, Azat.

— I feel it will be an unforgettable summer! — He says and starts laughing.
