When Bogdan first told his parents that he wanted to get married, he was four years and two months old. They agreed "on one" and told their relatives and neighbors how cute, funny and smart he was. It never occurred to anyone to ask Bogdan who was the chosen one of his heart ... everyone knew that he spent most of his time with Vid, a neighbor of his age.
The alarm about Maja's disappearance was raised by Maja's grandmother. Simply, as if in a country that has failed. She was playing, with the children, on the playground and, suddenly, she was gone. As the frightened neighborhood rushed here and there in search of Maya, someone called the police, the children watched in confusion what was happening, and just as a patrol of officials arrived, Bogdan's friend whispered to his mother:
- Mom, why is everyone angry? Maja just got married.
So, in Bogdan's room, they found two children making a cube castle. A castle in which they will live happily ever after, and the dragon will be their friend and guardian.
The second time Bogdan told his parents that he was getting married, he was eleven years old, a bunch of friends, he was a good student and everyone loved him. The parents laughed, apologized
to grandparents that Bogdan was getting married again and when night fell, they put him to bed and went to the neighbors for a "table" party.
This time, the search for Bogdan and Maja lasted until dawn ... then Bogdan's grandfather announced that the children had reached them, tired, hungry and happy, and that they refused to separate ...
And so ... Bogdan grew up, studied, trained volleyball, completed a Chinese language course, graduated, spent the summer on Tara (with his father's relatives), passed the entrance exam, enrolled in college, completed a German language course (English, in addition to school, his mother also taught him). , spoke it fluently), boasted of a student booklet, successfully completed the first year and a half of the second ... then the news arrived.
Bogdan informed the workers for the third time that he was getting married. Now panic has taken over their hearts (and maybe something else?), Godparents, prayed, persuaded ... and, you are too young, finish college first (Maja got a job in the city greenery after high school), you have time, life is ahead to you, maybe Maja wishes to finish, at least high school, and what you will live on, and where you will live, and whether you are sure that it is true love ... and all that. Maja interrupted the new situation, convincing Uroš that his parents were right. There is time...
Bogdan continued to give exams, to clean year after year, Maja paid for their vacation every summer (usually Greece), he had two exams left and a diploma when his friend from primary school showed up and invited him to go rafting on Tara together. Maja asked him to postpone ... maybe for the next week, she would like her to go too (Maja is lying, she doesn't want to go but some unrest has taken over ...), but a friend rushed in and Bogdan hugged Maja and got ready for the trip . His parents are glad, let him "break away" a little from that Maja, let him see that other people also exist ... They saw him off, waving merrily ... They forgot to invite Maja to come in.
The impact of metal on metal echoed with the force of the explosion. Bogdan's friend lost control of the vehicle, lost two teeth, earned two broken ribs, and collapsed completely. Bogdan lost both legs.
It took time and time for Bogdan to recover. Times and times to get used to the stroller. Nobody thought about prostheses ... Maja was with him. She spent every free moment with him. With her help, he passed the two remaining exams, prepared his diploma, graduated ... he received his diploma without any joy ...
Time passes, not a word about marriage.
For the first time, Bogdan's parents asked him when he would marry Maja on the day he turned twenty-seven. Their fear was greater than the greatest when he said: "Never! Should I condemn her to a cripple? I must, slowly, distance her from myself. It's time for her to start living. She deserved ..."
Nobody asked May anything.
That year, although Bogdan vehemently opposed it, she paid for their summer vacation in Egypt. She has always loved pyramids.
To Bogdan's great surprise, he also enjoyed it. Maja, so quiet but persistent, put her ideas into action ... only the gleam in her eyes would show how happy she is whenever Uroš shows interest in life around him.
Two more years have passed. As a disabled person, Bogdan got a job at the headquarters of a company. It was the best that his father, through who knows how many connections, managed to find. Maja claimed that as an excellent connoisseur of Chinese (well, he graduated), German and English, he does not deserve to sit at the headquarters ...
The second time, his parents asked Bogdan why he did not marry Maja when he turned thirty. He said, "I don't want to marry her ... but she won't leave me either. Whatever I tell her she just keeps quiet, or she looks at me and smiles ..."
One fine summer day, Maja came to Bogdan dressed in a new dress, armed with a sparkle in her eyes. She was holding a bouquet of flowers and a small, red box.
-Bogdan, today or never you will make me an honest woman, so that I don't have to explain to the child why he doesn't have a father ...
Bogdan wanted to cry, but he didn't. He hugged Maja and did not tell anyone that he wanted to get married.
- For these flowers and the ring, I'll charge you heavily ... from the first salary. Don't ask me anything.
Quiet, calm, patient and persistent Maja has already scheduled a wedding, bought tickets to China where Bogdana was waiting for a translator's job and an apartment (big enough to occasionally receive guests), a doctor's examination and a custom prosthesis ...
Bogdan's parents asked God for forgiveness and (at the same cost) thanked Maya for sending them.
Today, Maja and Bogdan live in China, both work, have two children and visit their parents once a year. Bogdan has long been accustomed to prostheses.
The castle they built for themselves as children is a bit smaller, but there is a dragon. Invincible. They named him Love.
