Silence surrounded her from all sides. She involuntarily lay down on a single sofa, accidentally pressed the remote control button. A round screen appeared overhead and lit up, familiar snowflakes appeared on it. When the snowflakes disappeared from the screen, the face of the great equipment tuner Andrei Georgievich appeared.
– Rimma, hello! Rest, dear.
– For what? She said.
– You think I’m jealous? No, I’m fine.
– Why did they bring me here? She asked dejectedly.
– And who were you walking along the linden alley? With Alex. I had to disconnect you in this way.
“And this is all my fault?” For this, should I spend the night alone in the woods in a strange palace with icicles on the roof?
– Yes! We must be consistent in their relationship.
– It’s cruel! – with tears in her eyes shouted Rimma.
The screen on the ceiling went out. The light of the lamps has diminished. The girl was in the half-gloom, but she had no fear. She realized that she was under the control of Andrew, and just fell asleep.
Alex – a person with a higher technical education, fluent in two foreign languages, was an expert in his field. Any young man could envy his appearance: he was 180 centimeters tall, his eyes were rubies, his hair was dark, his nose was straight, of a pleasant shape.
He supported the muscles on his body with three workouts a week in a gym with mirrored walls. His weight was within fifty percent of growth, that is, ninety pounds. He loves mystery, it was she who surrounded the creators of new flying objects.
Yes, he sometimes helped Rimma in life, but now he was worried about other problems. He also worked in a corporation consisting of several small firms producing a wide variety of apparatuses. Units, including him, knew the new look of the aircraft, the launch time was always surrounded by humor with a bit of secrecy.
Alex was so good that he was used on a private television line to handle people who happened to be in a closed area.
Aerial vehicles used in different areas. Customers – they are always customers and are covered with the secret of investing money. Considering that many secrets can be downloaded through the World Wide Web, the appointment of secret agents somewhat dulled over time, but they certainly appeared near the aircraft.
Two agents, Senya and Venya, were waiting for the release of a two-seater aircraft capable of taking off from any balcony and windowsill. Therefore, the agents were two gnomes, or, more precisely, a midget, their small stature made it possible to make a small device with a steep engine. They landed in a flying bobsleigh with three motors and flew from any skyscraper. The wings were extended from three sides, and the flying bobsleigh easily tacked in the air currents.
Thanks to the versatility of the aircraft, Alex was not in trouble. He liked Rimma, who has a beautiful, elegant appearance and obstinate character.
Rima woke up from the three-story cry. An unknown lady screamed at her in a black fur cap, in a black coat in the form of an hourglass. Rimma looked at the overall young lady and could not figure out why she was being scolded.
In the next portion of the scream, the name sounded – Alex. So, here she is guilty. The screams and curses stopped. Rimma got up on her feet and appeared on the ear of a screaming person, who unexpectedly quietly said:
– Rimma, I am Nadia. I’m Alex’s girlfriend. Let it be known to you!
– Alex told me nothing about you.
– Oh, so you know that his name is Alex! So why did you go with Alex? – Nadia asked nervously.
– Quite by chance our roads coincided, and we walked about five hundred meters together.
– Yes, but these five hundred meters of yours constantly showed on the TV screen and added about some new aircraft! On all television channels showed your disappearance in the screen with snowflakes!
– How did you find me? And I could not find the doors in this hut with icicles.
– I wish I didn’t know this house! Nikolay Nikitich is my uncle, “added Nadya.
– I heard this name from the screen located on the wall. But I do not know the secrets of this house.
– So, baby! So that I no longer see you next to Alex! Otherwise, again I will ask Uncle to use you as a guinea pig!
– Nadia, we are with Alex…
– Without “we.” Alex, let it be known to you, my young man.
– After all, he was…
“Ha – ha – ha! – the lady in black furs laughed loudly. – I brought him to the divine form. He is sleek, handsome, pumped, assured!
– But where does a young girl have such money? – sincerely surprised Rimma.
– I have roots, and very wealthy! Do you understand this?!
– Sorry, I remembered. Your uncle…
At that instant, the side screen lit up. Good-looking Nikolai Nikitich laughed and said:
– Nadia, leave the girl alone. She did not touch your Alex.
Immediately on the ceiling, a round screen appeared, on which Alex’s face appeared:
– Girls, do not make noise. Everything is good. Do you want us to ride you on a new flying device?
“Alex, would you go…” the beauty in black furs firmly cursed.
– Do girls swear so? – Rimma was surprised.
“Ha – ha – ha! – laughed gray-haired uncle. – Nadia shows her knowledge in the second language, and she has not said everything yet.
The walls of the house spread out in both directions, and the girls were among the snow-covered tents of fir trees. A cone with seats located around the perimeter fell into the clearing.
The strange cabin was closed by a transparent protective glass. Rimma and Nadia sat down on different sides of the cone. The flying cone, slowly rotating around its axis, quickly began to rise vertically upwards. Glade with a house of two halves remained in the silence of the forest.
A flying cone landed on a town square with a cone of a festive fir. Reporters came running. TV arrived. Rimma and Nadia were in the middle of the day.
Nadya answered the reporters in a very correct language, she spoke beautifully and without a mat, which made Rimma very amused. Rimma once again realized how important it is to own beads of words. That is because Nadia can throw beads in front of reporters!
And she will hurl beads of words in front of people, but where to go?
Nikolai Nikitich could stand on his head, he had a good body control, did a lot of joint exercises, and easily ran up the stairs. It cost him nothing to pour cold water, he did this procedure daily. Due to the physical perfection of his body, he remained the head of a corporation of flying objects.
Nadia least of all followed the example of her uncle. She loved warm baths with salt and foam, enjoyed eating candy from fancy boxes, drank liqueur, reminiscent of coffee with cream. As she grew up, only God knows her uncle. He made enormous efforts so that she graduated from the school, he turned gray from the burden of this burden. He pulled her through life, realizing that this was a labor of Sisyphus. Apparently, he was a genius, and on Nadya nature rested, which he did not want and could not realize.
It so happened that Alex had mentally chosen one girl – Rimma. There was in her that power of thinking that fascinated him with its mystery. And Nadia was just cute and energetic. He did not climb to the girls in the soul, but guarded as much as he could and kept the one and the other in sight. He rarely
