Rose is beautiful

Albina - Alka is an interesting single woman in her twenties. She graduated from three universities and has been living in a dormitory for three years. At the beginning of July, she celebrates her birthday. As usual, a summer party is arranged with relatives, but Alka does not return home after the exams. Alka doesn't come home after exams. He has to conduct exercises, and this is actually his first and, accordingly, his last trip to Central Asia. His birthday falls on the first day of the trip: There will be a good dinner party at the Shashilik house of VDNH. The girls hit the road, but only Svetochka, or "panamka", as Max would later call her. In the meantime, the girls are packing up, opening the windows and comfortably drinking tea.

Alka is still completely at the mercy of the sixth lesson. He is special, very important, and everything about him is new. It's been six months since Andrey finally left her. Of course, she liked his gloomy, dense seriousness more than an impudent Jew with a shaved forehead and a hoarse hysterical laugh. For the past six months, Alka has been reading thick books on the history of Persia and studying them more carefully than ever. Such events are called "Persian traditions" and differ from the usual student parties with endless oriental melodies from a tape recorder and monotonous reading of encouraging verses from the same Khayyam to the toasts of the midwife.

And for six months now - six months of brotherhood - Maxim and Zivi have been at the forefront of the lives of suffering patients, making every effort to defeat the insidious image of Saperavi in his clouded consciousness. They write humorous poems and try to entertain their friends as often as possible. They succeed, and Saperavi gradually comes out of depression. Therefore, this period of history is known as the "glorious unity of the group". The culmination of unity is the expected journey to Central Asia. Then the group breaks up and a new life begins.
Meanwhile, the Arch sits on the windowsill with a light. He's not alone anymore. Tomorrow they will go to Moscow by train, and from there they will fly to the distant and mysterious city of Urgench. And so far, only Max is missing. After the exams, he went to a small Soviet town in East Prussia for a few days. But he'll be back soon. They're waiting for him. And he will come. As usual, he shuffles his feet as he approaches the corridor. Lenochka, much more careless than Alka, hears him from three meters away, then ten rooms away. 'Maximka has come'.
A knock on the door. The door opens and immediately ...... 'Oh, it's a miracle! - A rose flies into the room. Maxim is nowhere to be seen: fifty or a hundred? "Kanumishe," Maxim says aloud. - Grandma wishes you a happy birthday. Renochka screams with joy and claps her hands. Alka also claps her hands. Surrounded by kindness and light, they freed Maxim from his heavy, odorous, prickly burden. They run to look for the bottle. They give Maxim a cup of tea forever. Max is pleased. He has fulfilled his mission. Alka is beaming with happiness. The depression is over! Hell and shovels are behind! Only holidays and the melodious brotherhood of the East are waiting for us ahead. We are waiting for a long and wonderful journey!

In the evening, roses are placed in colorful plastic basins in dormitories, which have already scattered for the holidays. They even make a list of purchased basins. Pink roses, yellow roses and white roses float in red, green and blue basins.
They have to leave tomorrow... Farewell. As a parting gift, they pour water from all the jugs, return the basins and dry the roses. Great, with dignity.
They lock themselves in their rooms. Roses meet them in September.
