Disciplined Karl always lived according to the schedule. But this day everything went wrong: the engine would not start, the water was cut off, there was no light; in general, the day started badly.
I had to go by subway. I went into the car, there were, as always, a lot of people, many were even standing. And then, looking around, he noticed a familiar silhouette. It was Camilla. He was not expecting this meeting, he turned pale, sweat beaded on his forehead. His first love from school, and then at the university.
They were best friends at first, then they started dating. Everyone loved Camilla very much, she was a kind-hearted person: sensitive, attentive, kind, sincere. But, despite all her positive qualities, she was quite withdrawn and shared everything only with Karl – her best friend, and then boyfriend. They were always considered the most beautiful couple both at school and at university. But Karl stumbled – he cheated on her. She didn’t say anything, didn’t throw any tantrums, wasn’t even offended. She just left his life, and that was it…
And here she was again in front of him, he realized his mistake. He could not muster the courage to approach her. And even if he did, what would he say? “Hello, Camilla, long time no see?” – nonsense! And so he adjusted himself: trying to calm down, looking for the right words, unable to calm his excitement. He did not even notice that he had passed his stop. And then…. He closed his eyes, opened them, wanted to approach, but the girl was gone. Apparently, she got off at the station. He missed the opportunity to find happiness again.
