Free Birds

Svetlana didn’t think that her good looks and quick mind were anything outstanding—after all, she had received them from nature. But her ability to love deeply and strongly, she valued as something truly unusual and generous, a gift of fate. Yet is this gift really so wonderful, and what will it bring her: happiness or disappointment? Will Svetlana be able to sort out her own life, and will she forgive her beloved for betrayal and for neglecting her?

Life had always been kind to Ivan. He had understanding and kind parents, excellent friends who shared his interests. And she also rewarded him with an attractive appearance, giving him, as a bonus, an incredibly beautiful smile that made women’s hearts melt. And love came to him—beautiful, mutual, without anxiety or shocks.

But what comes easily isn’t valued that much; only after losing it do you understand that. Ivan realizes this simple truth from his own bitter experience. Will he be able to grow wiser in soul and win Svetlana back? Or will he remain a free bird without attachments and without his own nest?
