Bozhena gathered her things, there were very few of them and went out to her relatives with a bag in her hands.
«That’s all, I took the most necessary things – » she said quietly, looking at everyone gathered at the table.
– Sit down dear, have some tea and you have to go already, otherwise it will get dark – - said Aunt Marina, cutting a piece of chocolate cake for her.
Bozhena sat down on a chair next to her younger brother. All the relatives around her were sad and sat silently at the table with their eyes down, and the strangest thing was that no one congratulated her on her birthday.

The man’s face immediately changed and even darkened:
– What do you want? he asked, trying to be polite to him.
– I’ll go with you.
– Not ordered! The bearded man replied menacingly.
– Yes, who didn’t tell you what you’re talking about? Ask my father all the questions! Come on, touch that got up! – and Nikola jumped into the cart, to which the man remained silent and rudely shouted at the horse:
