Everything in Alexey’s life could now be fine, overflowing with happiness… Except here was the love for Rada…
His attitude towards her was so sublime!
At first, Alexey did not even understand that this love is real, deep!
Rada was so beautiful! Thick eyelashes, clear eyes!… They sometimes turned blue, like the sky! Or sometimes — attracted into the peace and immersed in silence…
How radiant and enthusiastic was her gaze, with which — only being near — she could embrace with kindness and calm!
Never before did Alexey think that a person could be as she! In his view, the possibility of existence of such Beauty, Purity, and Holiness could be considered only in relation to the Heavenly, Divine, invisible and unknowable world!
She gave Alexey the opportunity to brighter, more fully perceive the Divine World!
This was the most important now in his life!
But… he could not notice what was happening with them… The occasional touch of just fingertips, the touch of a strand of hair or a meeting with glances — were enough to make Alexey flooded with the sea of tenderness! Love for her has become immense — like the sea! It was happiness, in which two souls merged in an amazing unity!
Alexey realized that a love can exist not only for God, but for Rada too. And this love cannot be extinguished, cannot be torn out of the heart!
Alexey did not know how he should behave now… He — a monk — how dare he to break a vow?
