To relax, Zadok tries reading.

The book he reads is called: 'MIND'

They say it is the book of the century.

If only it were true.

There could never be anything like 'Ron.'

The book is too unrealistic; it cannot be true.

Zadok usually reads religious books.

Or books that give him some motivation.

Fiction is not really for him; it's invented stories.

Fina gave him the book.

She said he would certainly like it.

He did not, but he will not say so.

Zadok is not a smoker.

He tried once, but that was that.

Smoking is a poor habit he never really liked.

It is easy to resist.

Zadok can only remember his father smoking.

Maybe that is why he dislikes it so much.

Zadok doesn't drink much either.

Now and then, he'll have a whiskey.

But never too much; he has never been drunk.

Zadok lives like a saint.

Or so he tries; it isn't easy.

But his integrity, righteousness and character are always present.

So, to relax, he dances.

Smoking and drinking are not for him.

But music, oh sweet music, is his great love.

He can listen without end.

Any music at any time will work.

He dances and sings along and then feels better.

Zadok loves a good jiggle.

To sway, spin, skip and finally wiggle.

In fact, he has a room to do this.

One room only for himself.

He painted the room in many colours.

His computer is loaded with music from all over.

Fina loves watching him dance.

Sometimes she would slowly dance with him.

Today is a day like that. Zadok is glad.

He puts the music on.

Fina has on a beautiful long dress.

The song has been played repeatedly over and over.

The couple cannot stop dancing.

One song after the other, they dance.

Fina laughs, and it is even better than before.

Okazyvat is new to this.

He can sense all of the happiness.

Maybe Zadok wants to stay in this moment forever.

But life isn't like that.

You don't get to relive any moment.

Moments go one after the other into the past.

The music stops quite suddenly.

A change has come across his face.

Zadok knows he will have to tell Fina everything.

She listens without a word.

'We are going to lose the house.

Our debt is too much, and I am broke.'

They talk into the night.

Fina is not angry about this news.

Was she so blind not to realise their predicament?
