Love is like a dream
(from the song)

Have you heard of Lena Pennina, the girl without sleep? It was published in medical journals. Although the name was not named. So I better tell you. About her and immediately about Jora, because they are now together, and separately cannot be told.
For the first sixteen years, Penkin was not interested in medicine. Her parents loved Lena, she studied well, but as she grew up, she fell asleep more difficult and slept less and less. But the school was able to finish with a medal, and entered the Energy Institute, apparently there was a reserve. From the second course went, first to academic, health, and then entirely. Lena stopped sleeping. At night, she, at best, slept, a couple of times a clock, almost without turning off. My parents were looking for the best doctors. One doctor prescribed to drink red pills, the other strictly prohibited them. Both came together only in one thing - before going to bed you need physical activity in the fresh air. Lena started to run. Light, slim, with a very big heart, she ran with pleasure. And after training for a year, I was tired of running no more than another person from rushed walking, and someone from sitting in front of the TV. She could run for hours, but, unfortunately, insomnia did not stop tormenting her.Lena won city marathons, one after the other, but she could hardly do anything more - read, count, everything was through force. She tried to work as a courier in order not to take the money of her parents, but forgot her addresses and ran back with all the papers. On May holidays, Lena won a supermarathon organized by a gas company and received a one-room apartment as a reward. Her parents were afraid to let her go, but she insisted. Having received the keys, Lena lay on the floor of her own empty apartment and — Oh, a miracle! I fell asleep! In the morning, the parents and a cousin, a knowledgeable Feng Shui, came. They brought the furniture, managed the loaders and collectors, arranged everything in place. Lena’s bed was on the other wall, not where she slept the first night. The dream did not come. I did not come the next night. In desperation, Lena moved her bed to her old place and fell asleep again. But the joy was premature, the next night Lena did not sleep, and behind the wall, very, apparently, thin, halfway engaged in love. Lena was lying and crying, she also wanted love, family, children, wanted to be normal.
Her parents asked her to return, but Lena refused. In a new apartment, not every night, but still sometimes managed to fall asleep. In addition, there was a park, recently opened. From the benches, however, the paint has already descended, eternal lawns have formed on the paths, but Lene liked the park. She ran in it every day, for many hours, without thinking about anything. One day, she overtook another runner, a big dumb guy, and suddenly felt that she could fall asleep right now, right on the run. Surprised, Lena ran through the circle, overtook the guy again, and the feeling, strange but pleasant, repeated. Then Lena sat down on the bench and waited for the nasty man to run past. He ran and Lena fell asleep. The dream was temporary, but she was happy. Since then, coming to the park, Lena was the first thing to look for this man. Unfortunately, he only ran on Saturdays. This day of the week was now the most desirable for Lena. She fell asleep on the bench when the guy was running, waking up when he was going away. Sometimes Lena rushed into the race, overtook and waited on another bench to get time to sleep several times a round. Waiting for Saturday, Lena worried that the guy might no longer appear, he was painfully not suitable for running on the set - a wide body, long powerful arms and short, slightly curved legs. But the guy did not miss the training and ran, slowly and hard. And one Saturday evening it happened that her runner interrupted the run and sat on the bench next to Lena, very close.
“The rope was loosed,” he explained confusedly.
Lena did not hear his words. Her eyes were already closed, her body relaxed, in a deep sleep, she pressed to the shoulder of a stranger. Jora, and that was he, sat for three hours without moving, afraid of waking up the girl. Per he would have been sitting longer, but a guard came to warn that the park was closing. However, these hours Jora spent not without use. For the first time he thought deeply about his work. Jora sold bricks. He did not come to this immediately, once tried to engage in science, but the institute was leased, scientists were disbanded. Selling bricks was difficult: they paid little, and the backpack with the samples was very heavy. Many did not even open the door to Zora, fighting without looking. And Jora came up with baking small bricks that looked like big ones. Then it will be easier to drag, or you can take more samples with you. There, on the bench, Jora thought about how to make a shape, mix the mass and adjust the oven. Going forward, I will say that the idea proved to be a success. No, Jora did not start selling more bricks, but people started buying those bricks from him. Some took just the way, someone for a toy house, others found a hole in the walls between large bricks. The real breakthrough happened when suddenly there was a fashion to give bricks to the newlyweds, for happiness. Orders came from all sides. Jora founded OOO "Cinderella", bought an abandoned factory and set up production there.
But all this will be later, and now Lena and Jora are saying goodbye at the park gate.
– It’s time for me to go home to my wife, said Jora.
I understand. “Thank you,” replied Lena. You have your ropes loosened. I am running again.
Lena ran through the street, almost without touching the asphalt heated by the summer sun. She ran all night without feeling tired and laughing at the wind. Early in the morning, in the first bakery opened, Lena bought two croissants and ate breakfast with appetite.
Since then they have healed. Sure, Lene wanted Jora to sit around again, but she was embarrassed to ask.
Once they met in the courtyard and found out that they live in the same house, but in different parades.
What floor is it? - asked Lena and stumbled, so she wanted Jora to say "twenty-third."
“Twenty-third,” said Jora.
Now Lena realized that in her happy nights at the wall of the neighboring apartment, Jora was sleeping. And in the miserable by the wall lies his wife. Or a dog. He probably doesn’t have a dog. Only a wife.
A couple of months, or maybe years, it doesn’t matter, and this same wife told Jore that she wanted to become a stewardess and with the pilot to change him. After the divorce, Jora got drunk, made a debush and spent three days in the police. And on Saturday was purchased from there by the accountant of OOO "Cinderella". Released, Jora, as it is, unwashed and unwashed, went to look for Lena. I found her at the entrance to the park.
“I’m divorced,” said Jora. Let us go to me?
“Better run,” replied Lena.
In the elevator, Jora hugged her and clung to herself. As they climbed to the twenty-third, Lena had time to shake. In the apartment, she sent Joru to wash, she took the ambulance, laid her bed clean, split up and lay down. Jora got out of the bathroom, and they immediately got in love. Then they fell asleep in a hug, happy, slept at five. Wake up from hunger. Lena recalled that she had two croissants and a float in the refrigerator.
It’s a pity that the wall is hindering, so you don’t have to dress up and go through the street. Lena said, pulling up.
Jora wrapped a belt on his fist and from the first blow broke a hole in the wall. Then they disassembled the hole, strengthened, dusted, again engaged in love and then slept until Monday.
They did not separate anymore. Lena sleeps every night, and Jora is watching it. Of course, when Yurochka was born, the regime collapsed, but for a short time. The boy grew up calm, even allowed his mother to study - Lena recovered at the institute. And after graduation, she went to graduate school, but not immediately, because by that time Svetka was born and turned out to be much more fighter than her brother - for six months she did not let Lena sleep, however, did she get used to it. In postgraduate studies, Lena successfully defended on the subject: "Replacement of multipolar disconnectors with elastic connectors." Diplomas of international exhibitions. Implementation is slow. Progressive countries such as New Zealand, Denmark and the Faroe Islands have already launched a program to replace all interconnectors with connectors for a decade.
Jorin plant works, demand is stable. There is also a new prospective direction: OOO "NANOKIRPIC". And also Jora bought the country's largest combination of iron concrete bases. So if you come across an iron concrete base - know, most likely it is Jorin.
Jora and Lena live in a spacious house, built entirely of small bricks.
Well, like everything I said, what else to add... Oh yeah, Lena is expecting a third child, preparing for a marathon for pregnant women, the start is after tomorrow.
I think he will win.
