25.WHY NOT?

I was there. I lay on the sand.I felt sand under my hands.I could feel the touch of sand on my fingers and that was the best feeling in this week.I was lying on the sand and looking at the sky. It was so blue. Clouds could be seen here and there.The only thing that annoyed me now was the sun. It was hot,but what kind of day would it be if someone didn't ruin it.Someone was standing in front of me, he stood at my feet and his shadow blocked the sun.I looked at the shadow , but i could not see his face.I looked at the sky for a long time,this was the result of that.I sat up and looked at the shadow again.He didn't say anything and waited for me to start talking.The shadow slowly became human and you won't believe who it was.

I didn't recognize it at first. I only saw him once.He had a very familiar face,i decided not to say anything until he said something.So i was waiting for him and he was waiting for me and this awkward silence lasted for 2-3 minutes.I was tired of this situation and was going to lie down again, but he told me:

-Aren't you going back home?

,,WHAAAAAAAT''- i was screaming in my head.As soon as he spoke i recognized him.It was him and i heard his words in my head : ,,WIFE WIFE WIFE''.

-You must return home

He said and he held out his hand to help me get up.I didn't know how to react to all this. So i laughed and said:

-I think we call different places home.

I did not take my eyes off him,i was interested in his reaction.He put his outstretched hand in his pocket.

-Aren't you tired?is this a joke?

-Joke?What kind of person jokes about something like that?

he smiled

-Well.

He smiled again and said to me:

-You.

I also smiled and told him:

-You are in a good mood.

He looked at me confused,he tried to understand what was going on in my head.

-And why is this a problem?

I didn't take my eyes off him.

-Well,you lost your wife, right?

-I already found her.

-I am not your wife.

After my words he turned and looked at the sea,then asked me:

-What happened to you?You really don't remember me?

There was silence for a few seconds,then he turned,looked at me and said to me:

-Ok. You don't remember me,you do not trust me and you don't want to go with me.

I understood.

I was listening to him. He continued talking:

-But i don't understand how you forgot your daughter.

-I don't have a daughter.

-Whatever you say,but i have a daughter waiting for me at home, who is asking for her mother.

-What do you want to say?

-Come with me,live with me

-Are you crazy?i do not know you.

-Until you find another home.I see you have a bag

He looked at my bag,my bag was on the sand.

-So i think you have nowhere to go.

I was already tired of the drama.I wanted this conversation to end quickly,so i asked him:

-What are you trying to say?

He stopped.He didn't move, he didn't speak,he just stopped.I looked at his stomach, wondering if he was breathing.What a stupid i am, of course he was breathing.After about half a minute,he asked:

-You have nowhere to go,am i right?

I did not want to answer this question,but i was interested,what did he want to say,so i just said:

-And?

He smiled for a second and then he continued talking:

-Live with me

I looked at him suspiciously.

-Free room, free food. Only until you decide where to go.

I laughed out loud.He was surprised and asked me:

-Why are you laughing?

-Do you think i'm stupid?What will you get from all this?

He took a deep breath,then he sat down on the sand on my left side and looked at me.

-I just want you to treat my daughter well

-I don't like children.

He looked at the sea ad he said to himself in a low voice:

-I can't believe i'm having this conversation.

I heard his words.For a second i thought: what would i do in his place?What would i do if my wife forgot me.Of course, i believed that i was not his wife,but i could see,he believed in this and he was very patient with me.I could see that he was a good father. Iasked:

-Want a free babysitter?

-No.You don't have to take care of her,you just,you just

-What?

-Don't run away,when she calls you mom or when you see her.You know.

-Why do i have such a feeling that you don't say something completely?

-Maybe because it is true. I hope that you will remember something.

-No

-Don't touch my hope

At that moment, i felt his sadness.We were both silent for a few minutes,we were both looking at the sea.It wasn't such a bad idea, but if he

-No

Said he.It was as if he was reading my thoughts.He looked at me and continued talking:

-You will have your own room and i will not come in.

He looked at the sea again and said:

-Unless

I looked at him .

-I am joking.

He smiled.There was silence again.After about ten minutes, he got up, looked at me and asked:

-What do you think?

I didn't know what to answer.I just said:

-Why not?
