Match

  Match The story of a woman who was deprived of her life, and suffered from the vicissitudes of life. His lips were shaking slowly. He wanted to say something but could not. Anna had a feeling that she knew what Conrad was going to say. Every woman knows what men say on such occasions.   This had happened to Anna many times before. Every time she heard the sound of the call bell, she was poorly startled. This was because the bell was installed near the sink in the kitchen. Therefore, whenever she was near the sink and someone pressed a finger on the bell button, the loud sound would startle Anna badly. And that's why neither her husband nor her family used this bell. They knew what kind of condition Anna got after hearing the sound of this bell. She was busy preparing food for the family when the loud sound of the bell startled her. This time the voice was a little louder, so Anna was startled a little more accordingly.   She kept the knife aside and walked fast to ...

Deal of Life

      

Deal of life 

Story of a soldier who could not get his love forever.




The captain looked at his sword with longing. Then looked at the uniform hanging on the peg which was reminiscing the war days. Sitting in his room, he picked up the letter which he had just received. The same letter had left a lasting impression on him. He read the concern of the letter once more which had changed the world of his hopes.


"I am proud of the honor you have bestowed upon me by offering me to be your wife.

I am deeply shocked to disappoint you and reply in the negative. But the only reason for this refusal is the difference between our ages.

  I like you very much. But because of this difference, I suspect that our marriage will not be successful. I hope you will appreciate my honesty."


The captain took a deep breath and bowed his head. Of course, there was a big difference in their ages. But he was strong. He had wealth and status. Can't all this and then his true love and openness make their marriage successful? Can't remove the gap of years?


Captain was a practical man. In the battle, he had earned a name for his quick decision and promptness. He decided that he would personally meet her once and have a verbal conversation. The question of age was irrelevant in his eyes.


Within two hours, he was on his way to the ground to win the bet of his life. Theodora was standing in the portico of her house, enjoying the summer evening and twilight when the captain arrived. 


Theodora welcomed him with a smile without hesitation. When the Captain was talking to her standing on the lower stairs, the difference in their ages was not felt. 


He was a young man with tall stature, bright eyes, and black hair. Theodora had set the initial destinations of her youth.


  She said softly.

  "I sent the letter, didn't expect you to come."


"I got the letter." replied the captain.


"And that's what I came for."


Theodora smiled at his simplicity. She loved him heartily.


“There is a lot of difference between your age and mine. Captain, it is better if you don’t ask me again. I have written everything in the letter,” she said softly.


The Captain felt his longings bleed into the redness of the distant twilight. This gap of a few years had become a huge obstacle between him and her happiness.


Theodora pleaded with the captain.


"Don't take my words badly Captain! Later on, you will realize that what I have said is right. If 

we get married, after a few days, after a few years, 


Maybe one of us may want to sit near furnaces and read novels, feel the need for an oil massage for knee pain, or prefer to live a quiet life. 

And the other one is fond of dance parties, is fond of lunch and dinner, is fond of clubs and theatre. So what will happen in such a situation? 


No, my friend, the difference between our ages is the same as in the months of January and May, or less so, in the months of October and June."


“But Theodora, I will do whatever you want. If you….” Theodora interrupted, 


“You say you can. Please don't talk about this topic anymore.”


The captain had lost his bet. When he came to his room the next evening, he started preparing to go to some dinner. While changing the dress, he thought that Theodora had told the truth because he was still nineteen years old and Theodora was twenty-eight years old.


THE END

Gift

   Gift A lbert and Norma lived in a small apartment in New York. Albert was a dentist. His practice was not going very well, but there was enough practice that the husband-wife was able to live easily. Norma was a charming woman. It was her routine that at the end of every month, on Friday afternoon, she used to go to Baltimore to visit her old aunt. After spending one night with her aunt, she would return to her New York apartment the next evening.  Albert happily accepted this from his wife. He knew that Aunt Margaret lived in Baltimore. He also knew that his wife has a lot of attachment to her aunt. So there was no reason to prevent Norma from visiting her aunt once a month. At one point, in the beginning, Albert had asked Norma,  "Would you mind if I could not go with you to your aunt's side?" "Oh no, darling," Norma replied sweetly. "I know your busyness. Anyway, Aunt Margaret is my aunt, not yours." So Norma's monthly progra...

The Art Gallery

  The Art Gallery  A ccording to the routine, when I reached the office that day too, before stepping inside the building, I stood on the road and started looking at the beautiful board on which "K and k galleries" was written in the golden alphabet. This was the name of our firm which was engaged in the business of buying and selling Marvelous and rare masterpieces of painting. Even after several months with the board installed, the passion for its love had not diminished in my heart.  But I was not the only one to see that board that morning. Near me, a fat man wearing a gray suit was staring at the board with such eyes as if he could not understand the purpose of that board. Then suddenly, sensing my presence, he looked at me and a satirical smile appeared on his face. I knew not only that smile but also him very well. His name was Peterson. And he belonged to the fraud division of the police. Needless to say that most of our past meetings were never ha...

THE DEAD LETTER

      THE DEAD LETTER The story of a murderer who falls prey to haste. The murderer had arrived before him. All hope of life was gone. He drew the attention of the murderer to his last letter, but now he was not ready to listen and understand anything. The fire of revenge alienated him from his senses. C harles Henderson was sitting with his elbows on the table, his head bowed, and both hands on his temples. He was completely alone in his study.  There was a deep silence in the room. The table lamp on the table was bright and the circle of yellow lit a bottle of whiskey and glass near Charles. There was whiskey in the glass. There was no sound in the room except the ticking of the wall clock.  Charles was deep in thought. Behind Charles, the door opened very slowly and a man entered with silent steps like a shadow. He had a revolver in his hand. "What's up Charles Henderson!"  Suddenly, the newcomer's ...
