PART 39
Shahid was used to be teased by me. I knew that my words wouldn't offend him. Furthermore, the reality proportion in them was quite large. He answered smiling:
- Please don't act injustly towards yourself my friend. I don't believe that you are a common person too. If half of me belongs to "the past" more than half of you is living outside of this time. Your only difference is that you can show better adaptation to the social environment than me. That's all!
Shahid knew me as much as I knew him. I could deceive everybody; but this clever and sensitive man... I couldn't!
- I think it would be better if we put me aside, Shahid" I said. I didn't like to be discovered. My inner world was my only wealth and I wouldn't like anyone to see it. We had to return to our original subject:
- Tomorrow is the Women's Day... All the teachers of the Department will participate in the celebration party in Asanbay Café. Of course, Luda too... Why won't you take her aside there or invite her to dance when you get the chance and reveal your feelings to her?" I asked.
Shahid's voice sounded trembling with excitement to me:
- Do you think that the party at Asanbay is a suitable place for that kind of talk? I mean... so much crowd... dancing people... music... Can I do it, I don't know!...
