STACH Short Story Contest #15: 199 words.|When Christmas comes calling...
They quarreled two days before Christmas, telling to each other a lot of unpleasant, painful words.
The first day Olga was weeping whole day, but on the second day she went out into the street.
The street was full of music, Christmas trees, lights, banners and laughing people.
They were so happy, carrying gifts, looking forward to a joyful holiday.
It hurt her especially to look at the enamored couples. How Olga wanted to be at this Christmas with David! And gifts ... David promised her a big teddy bear, as she had in her childhood ...
But Olga decided to stop suffering and tried to seem happy and behave as if there was no quarrel at all.
She bought some of the Christmas decorations and the most delicious food that David loved.
At home he cooked David's favorite special Christmas meal and made a beautiful hairstyle.
On Christmas Day Olga put on her best dress and set the table.
She was not surprised at all, when she heard the doorbell.

He was holding flowers, bags and a big teddy bear…
