ChapterВ 1

Aelita has reached her room, sat on the bed and stared at the wall. There was no more tears, there was no thought, there was no force, only despair and sorrow in all its essence. For what? How will she now live further without Bakhtiar and Tara? He was for her the meaning of her life, her air. How now to breathe without him? And Tara, her beloved dog Tara, how will she be without her? Why did they die? From her throat escaped some wheeze, she started to tear her hair out with all her strength and wheeze. Instead of ��for what’”, use “why’”.

“Maybe it’s still the true, and we will be together again?” – thought Aelita.

She began to remember how they were happy and thought took away her in the past, and how it all began…

It was 2020. She came toВ conquer the capital. Astana, how she wanted toВ live inВ this city. She was eighteen years old. She was an orphan. There was no one who could help her or support. Since her parents died, six years have passed, and since then she is always alone.

Parents names were Marat and Gulnara. These were the two parts ofВ one whole, who have found each other and were happy until aВ drunk driver knocked theirВ car.

They have aВ beautiful daughter, whom they named Aelita. She had beautiful eyes, snub nose and plump lips. Up toВ twelve years she was the most spoiled and happy child inВ the world, not knowing rejection inВ anything. InВ that terrible day she was inВ the car with her parents, but only she survived. InВ the future, orphanage, ordeals and deprivation inВ anything. When she turned eighteen, she gathered up the suitcase and went toВ Astana.

Astana, the capital ofВ Kazakhstan. How she dreamed toВ live inВ this city. It was the most beautiful city. City-fairy tale, dream city.

There were several districts inВ Astana. The first district was called aВ closed city. It was under aВ glass dome. There have never been the winter all year round bloomed plants. Every one dreamed toВ live there, but lived only the richest people. The entrance toВ the city was strictly with the identification cards or with the permission ofВ the inhabitants ofВ this closed city.

The second district – the left bank. Middle-class people lived there. Third district – the right bank. Poor people lived there. In other districts of the capital lived people who had neither their homes nor constant work and odd jobs.

The first five years inВ Astana were very difficult for her. Sometimes she spent the night on the street. She did not have aВ permanent job, and she was always desperately looking for work. Aelita believed that someday everything will change for the better. And everything changed, but only when she stopped believes inВ the best.

She was twenty-six years. Eight years since she arrived in Astana, and eight years of wandering and humiliations. Luck finally smiled at her, and she went to work as a seller in a men’s clothing store. And there she met the man of her dreams. He entered the store, and she immediately realized that this is he. His name was Bakhtiar. He was twenty-six years, and he was beautiful, young and rich. He worked in the most prosperous companies in Kazakhstan. They fell in love with each other at first sight. Six months later, he presented Aelita apartment on the left bank and the flower business. Aelita loved Bakhtiar to madness. He was all for her.

InВ 2029, Bakhtiar presented Aelita puppy. It was aВ girl, red Boxer, with white paws and aВ white breast. It was the most beautiful puppy inВ the world. Aelita named her Tara.

InВ that terrible day inВ 20
