The little angel was sitting on a cloud with his legs dangling. He watched the city, which seemed to him like an anthill. Suddenly, in the window of one house, he saw a familiar face.
“It’s her,” the angel thought and smoothly began to descend. His little feet had already touched the ground, he opened the entrance door and slid into the small gap. I went up to the ninth floor and found myself next to that very door.
With his small hand he touched the bell, and his piercing cry disturbed the silence. “Who’s there?” asked a once familiar voice.
-It's me, Angel.
-I don’t know any Angel. You must be in the wrong apartment!
- No, I wasn’t mistaken! It's me, Angel... please open...
The door opened and the Angel saw HER. She was no longer the same... Tormented, pale, in an old robe... “Is it really you? What happened to you?!” exclaimed the Angel.
-Do we know each other??? This is the first time I've seen you. What do you need? Why are you here?
The girl looked with dull eyes and did not understand anything.
-You don’t remember anything?
-No. I'm very tired, and I advise you to get out of here quickly. Moreover, my husband will come soon. I think he won't be very happy to see strangers in his house. She sat down at the table and turned her back to the Angel. The angel came closer to her and timidly hugged her shoulders and pressed his small body against her back. “I’ll show you something now, promise that you’ll leave right away”... She took off her robe, and on her perfect body, on her peachy back, in the area of her shoulder blades, there were two terrible scars... “Now go away”...
The doorbell rang and she jumped. She quickly got up from her chair and ran to open the door. It was her husband. “Who else is this???” the husband muttered displeasedly. “He’s already leaving,” the girl looked sternly at Angel. “I’m hungry, I’ll come eat in 5 minutes,” said the husband. The girl hurried to the kitchen. “The door is over there,” the man pointed his finger at the door. “Get out!”
Tears appeared in Angel's big eyes.
-Where are HER Wings??? Where did you put her wings? She had huge white wings. Why did you cut them off??? “You ruined her!” the Angel choked in tears.
-You see, we love each other... And accordingly we sleep together! Do you know how the wings interfered with this! It was uncomfortable for her to lie on her back, so I cut them off! Now everything is fine with us! We are happy! The angel had already gone out into the street, where it was snowing...
“And yet you don’t love each other!!! She will die with you...” the Angel shouted after... The man ran out into the street, but the Angel was already high...
“WHY??? WHY DO YOU SAY THIS???” the man shouted, looking into the heavens.
“BECAUSE WINGS NEVER INTERFERE WITH LOVE,” whispered the Angel...
