Forgetting
“Katya!!”
She was about to unlock the mysterious door, when Denis’s quivering voice stopped her. She whirled around to see a bedazzled look ripple across his face.
“Flowers …” Katya dropped the key and ran to Denis. He had picked a few pink blooms, a lover’s bouquet. Their intoxicating perfume had pulled him into a kind of drowsy stupor. “For my darling wife!” He bowed dizzily and handed her the iridescent blossoms.
Katya was overcome by the soporific fragrance. Hand in hand, they stumbled toward home, forgetting all about the strange, round forest door. The old man watched, then stealthily followed.

Juma, you are at it again! Another teasing mystery. What are we to make out of this one…..Flowers…..is it the flowers the old man is after? – ha, ha. And I know someone here, who will be reading this thinking….Flowers for Katya, what has Denis been up to? I can imagine someone in the family asking you….Mum, where are you off to? And don’t answer us in a riddle!
Hello old friend! I can’t tell you much about Katya and Denis, since their story is still unfolding. But one thing I know for sure – Denis picked the pink flowers out of love, not guilt! We will just have to wait a bit to see what happens next.

Ha ha – I should have said “Hello, good friend!” Everyone knows you aren’t old. On the other hand, everyone knows from my bio that I’m over 70, but I will still answer to “young friend”!!!
Juma, I love this follow-up on your previous story! Now I am even more curious. Who is the old man? Was he the one stopping them from going through the door? Why? This is very captivating!

Ah Juma, a fantastic follow up. I’m presuming the old man wants to stop them from going through the door. Is he perhaps Denis from the future. So much mystery and such fun to see the story progressing.
