OUTSTANDING QUESTIONSA Story by Tasi83BE DECIDED - Baby! Enough of the game! Try it! You can't
be late! Grandmas are coming soon! - the still pretty, filigree mother urged
her "big son" who was graduating from high school very impatiently. -
Your father is also very excited! - she tried to encourage her only son,
because - these days - they didn't get along too well with his old man. " Well , that 's all I was missing! " he
thought. With the law! Why did he have to sign up for an old- fashioned dance
group , so that the whole school would laugh at him in baggy black pants and a
vest with folk embroidery?!" - just thinking about this one unpleasant
fact made his stomach clench with reality. , and he was overcome by a violent
feeling of nausea, which gradually became more and more unbearable and
unbearable as the hour of departure approached. - Mommy? Where is this child now? He's about to be late!
Damn key! - poisoned the father, who was trying to take a video camera with a
borrowed no way to film your only son's big day. He literally stormed into his
son's nursery, where his son was playing with the most modern computer games,
and seemed to be watching the whole world from above. - What about you? Come on, move! Grab your swollen
ankles! It's going to be the big day of your life! - while the video camera was
turned on, he was perhaps even a little happy that he could joke around and
make fun of his " big brother" to his heart 's content. - I'm almost ready! Calm down! - he tried to calm his
nervous father , who had been on the ceiling for a long time. - Dad! Can you
help me tie this damned tie? - he asked fearfully , because he knew that his father
never used to help him , unless his temperamental and stubborn mother exerted a
little pressure on him. - Ask your mother! He will solve it! So! One or two he!
Move it! - he gave the instruction in a cracking voice, then immediately
stormed out of the children's room with the camera, like an excited child who
had just acquired a new toy. There was still a good twenty to twenty-five minutes left
until the ceremony. But the students who appeared in my show knew that they had
to arrive much earlier , because their preparatory teachers still insist on
certain forms and styles oh so - Mom! Would you help me tie this crappy tie! God doesn't
succeed! - he would have most willingly tied himself to the first lamppost just
to escape this unlucky day, but he owed it to his classmates and teachers as
well that once he started, he would at least finish it properly. Anyway? What
will you tell your children and grandchildren about later? How much of a rabbit
was he? No! That's out of the question! - Oh dear! I thought your father would help! Bela! Why
don't you help the child?! - the pretty woman put her hands firmly on his hip.
- Come on , because we 're late! The deathly excited father, fumbling with the video
camera, finally just gave in and tied the tie around his son's neck. - One day you could really learn to tie a tie , my sweet
boy! And if my mother and I don't have a wedding anymore , who will marry us?!
- he asked the question boringly, because part of his successful manipulation
and psychological technique was fear and, above all , creating a sense of
guilt. - That's it! It 's ready! - Thank you! Then... I'm in a hurry... - the teenage guy
didn't bother anyone , and he already walked out the front door to put on his
patent leather Italian shoes and press the elevator call button a t. so that he would n't waste even more time , he hoped.
Today will be the big day that he will confess his love, even if this goddamn
garbage world is destroyed , or by an earthquake , or by an erupting volcano ,
or by everyone standing upside down _ _ He finally confesses to Kriszta , and
maybe he can pocket the first real , romantic kiss , which - if he had been a
little more pressing - he could have received at the party after the
ribbon-cutting ceremony, but he doesn't want to be disrespectful to be. After
all, Kriszta is a fantastic girl! And he's so cute, kind, and he always treated
her properly, and what's more important, he never embarrassed her! "Don't worry about anything! After all, what can
happen! At most, he will send you to Kukutyin! Which, let's face it, would be
quite pathetic and humiliating!" - bittersweet thoughts ran through his
mind the whole time, while he also had to memorize the text of János Arany's
long poem in order to remember each stanza exactly. In the meantime , in the midst of the celebration , the
starting and graduating classes marched in order , in goose - stepping, to the
end of the congo , echoing corridor. - F**k it! I was late! he stated when he got there. He
walked down the central corridor, which led past the faculty rooms, and
miraculously bumped into his own graduating classmates, who were quite
surprised at the moment. - Hi Balazs! Nope, nope! We thought you weren't coming! -
said a couple. - To miss the big party of the century! That's all it takes!
- he casually threw it over his shoulder, as if nothing could go wrong, but in
fact he was so nervous that he could almost hear how furiously his heart was
pounding in his chest, as if it wanted to escape immediately. Finally he saw Kriszta. She was such a hot bombshell. She
deliberately cut her honey blonde hair short and left it wavy as she applied
minimal make - up , and her burgundy lipstick made her look as sexy as
possible. he is also ready to flirt with his thin fingers. Her fiery auburn
eyes could really see into a person 's kidneys, not to mention the fact that
she wore provocative, black strappy , stiletto heels with her burgundy,
revealing dress, which also turned the boy on fire until - Hi Balazs! It's so good that you're here too... - two
kisses followed on the cheek. - Oh... yes... great... gorgeous... - he just babbled,
huffed and puffed. He was not able to find a single suitable Hungarian wife. He
felt an electric current running through his chubby , pitiful old rubber body ,
and as if some invisible magnetic, cosmic energy had made him kiss this angelic
goddess who had come down to earth. But when? And where? Their incessantly
troubled thoughts chased each other. As the rowdy column of his classmates
moved on, he decided to stand in the back row , because he knew that he was an
anarchistic , antisocial , and slightly sociopathic class leader. he certainly
does n't like the fact that he's putting on a show , even though he should
humbly and humbly hide in the background. - Sorry, Old Man! - he joined the line after the last boy
and carefully took his shoulder. "Sevas mate..." the guy whispered back to him. After completing the mandatory forms , Balázs had to rush
to the spacious schoolyard , which was well - maintained in the meantime , which
is a huge _ it was like a beach with the many concrete walls that surrounded
the place of celebration. A spacious, large table was already set up in the
courtyard, on which microphones were playing , viz. instead, it was occupied by
the board of directors and the elite of the management, while next to the table
there were two large speakers and a curvy , horse - wolf guy playing an
electric rhythm guitar He strummed a few chords so that he could check the
correct tunings on a sure - fire basis. - Hi buddy! So, what kind of guitar do I have? - with
that he already started strumming a few musical chords in the style of Jimmy
Hendrix. - Hi! Congratulations bro! I wish I could get a solo
guitar like that! But I hate this big csinadratta and the whole graduation
céco! Balázs admitted on his level. _ - Listen, old man! You have nothing to keep from him! I
'm often a lamplighter too! You say your text and think that you only have to
do this once here, the rest will be lost in the fog of memory , and the dog
won't even remember it! Except for the people present here , of course! - he
winked at the couple. - Thank you very much for the encouragement! - Will you try the guitar? - If you can! - with that, he carefully took the electric
string from the other hand , and managed to play a couple of chords. - Do you
remember *Shout, Shout* for Tears of Fears? It has a f*****g guitar solo at the
end of the song. You must have heard it! It really makes you cringe! - Yes, I cut the scene straight! - took over the guitar
and started to play the guitar solo of the characteristic song with natural
ease. - This is it! This is w***e! You should sell this! You
are a blood pro! - Yes! Oh sure! Can you imagine that I can be a
professional musician when we graduate?! - the lanky, ponytailed guy was
already doubting himself. - Listen mate! You have to try, or you'll regret it for
the rest of your life what about you! - I am absolutely right about this! , nine members of the board appeared at the tables, and
in the meantime, the graduating class also took their seats in the front row.
There was some commotion because Balázs 's parents and relatives wanted to sit
in the front rows , where they - understandably - had to leave , and _ if only
they could reserve a place for themselves. The old director already started to grind out the deathly
boring festive speech , which was at the same time very topical , intimate ,
festive , and yet boring , and then Bal á and when he reached the last line of
a long poem , it was as if he deliberately wanted to achieve a dramatic effect,
even though it was only that he had almost forgotten the text in his heightened
fever, but he g jott á didn't even notice the opening. "My foliage is
so colorless and my leaves are so sparse; Here comes the
long-lived wanderer, asking for a place to rest , He can't find it,
he goes on and curses me: "Never turn
green, never bloom!" But what is the
curse, Even if I wither, I
see more and more springs." His small effort was rewarded with a huge round of
applause. Even the heads of the class gave him a standing ovation. Balázs's father was not convinced to record everything
exactly with the digital video camera he got , so that he could watch it again
and again later , a little calmer and more balanced. it was taken under more difficult
circumstances. A little later , the May rain came , which drove the
whole celebratory crowd into the large dining hall , where Balázs also received
a smaller gold goblet, with which he was recognized as a poet. and his prose -
telling skills , and what he wrote with clenched teeth , because he only tried
to stick to the saying: "Success can be just a kind of beneficial
misunderstanding! " - It was great, my treasure! We are so proud of you! -
his happy mother kissed him back and forth, while his father just shook hands
with him. The two older grandmothers also modestly congratulated them , and
then they set off for home. - Mom! I have to take care of something else... - he
blurted out, and as if he had been shot out of a rifle, he immediately started
looking for Kriszt with feverish excitement. "I wonder where it can go?
" After all , he saw her smiling at him beautifully , radiantly , and then
let this happen! " is the dining room , where the couple is still hanging
out. Finally , Balázs stepped out of the high school gate , and that 's when he
saw the off -road vehicle into which the first great love of his life was about
to enter. - Krista! Wait! - he tried to scream as loud as he could
manage in his mutating throat, then he started running at a frantic pace,
breaking through everything and everyone. You can't miss this last opportunity,
because what if you can never say again how you feel about him in this
momentous moment? across the road that separated the high school from the
other surrounding family houses. He was n't even interested in the fact that
several aggressive motorists voiced their loud, obscene displeasure by cursing
loudly and honking their horns : - What's up kid? Do you want to die?! - Krista! Please... Something... I have to tell you... -
out of breath, he stopped in front of the SUV , which had already started its
engine. Kriszta also left the hall. Now you could see on his flaming red face ,
with little make-up, that he was a little warmed up, and it was also seen that
he was blushing : - How do you get here...? - he was so surprised that
suddenly he didn't even know to ask. - Look... I came... to... wow... - he had to blow himself
off while running, because he could hardly get any air. - Hékás... he's calm... he's a breath of fresh air! In
and out! - Kriszta also took in and out what seemed like big gulps of air , and
when she could feel that they were both taking in the air normally , Balázs
finally came up with the big text : - You have a great influence on me and... I think I LOVE
YOU! he snapped. could n't even speak with her mouth open for a few
significant seconds , and then her slightly impatient snobbish mother , sitting
next to her , broke the silence. - My little girl! When will you please finally get into
the car so we can finally leave?! - Mom, please! I'll go after you! - he slammed the open
door with that and immediately called Balázs aside among the birch trees, which
romanticized a small concrete bridge in front of the high school building. - Wow! You are nothing Balázs! You never really know what
will happen in the next second when you have a hit! - tenderly , emotionally ,
he pulled her to him and finally , after four and a half years , that certain
first kiss clicked. - Listen, I know I'm not rich and well off like yours ,
but I'd like you to at least give me a chance to prove it... - answered the
bean - eater trembling kisses on the way _ - Oh, you're so cute when you try to be serious! I don't
care about money! - he smiled radiantly at her! - How will we live together?! -
he asked the logical question at the next moment. They held hands. Almost immediately , they felt that
secret, very pleasant tingle that his almost - lovers felt. They started
walking towards Balázsék's apartment. By the time they made their way through
the mixed clusters of family houses and condominiums, Balázs's family members
were already on the lookout for the fact that they had come to greet the
celebrated bachelor, but they were nowhere to be found. Balázs's mother tried
to calm everyone's tempers, while his father was still checking the secret
settings of the video camera. - Well! But you came my sweet boy! Look, the prodigal son
is back! - he announced in a loud voice, but when he saw that his son was not
alone, he was so shocked that he could barely speak. - Forgive me for being a little late , but I would like
to introduce my friend! This is Krista! - it was a little more reassuring that
the family members standing close to my grandmother and her parents were so
fiery and radiatingly bombastic, a young lady who at this moment seemed a
little bewildered. - Hello! I am Balázs's mother! And they are my
grandmother Baláz! - the mother introduced herself. - Do you want to do it for
yourself , or do you want to do it yourself? - he asked her. - If it's okay, then I'd choose to shoot... - he replied
timidly, clutching Balázs's hand as if his life depended on it. in the dining room, decorated with balloons. Still ,
there were about nine of us, and since everyone was whispering and slurring
some small fragments of speech, after a while a noise began to form, which only
benefited the young people, because at least they could squeeze each other
under the table and his hands. When they were visiting my holiday apartment
after midnight , my father drove me home through my grandmother , so at least
the Balázses could exchange a few confidential words. - I am so glad, dear Krista, that you have finally found
each other! - the happy mother giggled. - Balázs has been singing odes about
you ever since he's known you! mom... I don't think so... - he bit his words when he
looked at his blushing friend. - No problem, Balázs! I love it when you talk about me...
- he gave a light kiss to her ruddy cheek. - What are your plans for the future? Balázs would like
to try Színmúbészet , but Bölcsészet is also not excluded. Kristik, what are
your plans? - turned to her son 's friend in confidence , the expectant mother. - Well... I was thinking about the Faculty of Public
Administration, and I would also like to have a small wedding in a seaside
environment... - answered the beamer happily. , this... is really great... but first is further
education... - the mother toasted to the essence of things. Until the father came back from the suburbs, where the
two grandmothers lived, they had a pleasant, friendly conversation. In the
evening, Kriszta and Balázs stood holding each other 's hands under the street
lamp giving off a yellowish, nightmarish light, while the small elements of the
night seemed to be gaining strength. - Thank you for this fantastic day dear! - he leaned
closer to kiss her. - You're very welcome! Thank you for letting me into your
heart! After they both became university students and received
their diplomas, they got married the very next day, because they didn't want to
wait a single minute longer. They went on their honeymoon to a coastal island,
and they felt that the capital and uncertain life was really carrying them in
the palm of their hands.
