Svetlana de Rohan-Levashova. Revelation

Only now I noticed that Isolda looked different! Probably that bright "sunny"
dress was intended only for her alone, just as the blooming field... And now she had
met her Tristan... I must say that wearing her white dress embroidered with a red
pattern, she looked absolutely stunning! She looked like a young bride.

– They neither danced in a wedding circle for us, my brave falcon, nor did they
offer their felicitations with a nuptial toast. They gave me to a stranger, but I always
was your wife. I was destined to be yours... even when I lost you. Now we’ll be
together forever, my joy, we’ll never part from this day... – Isolda gently whispered.
Something treacherously pinched my eyes and I began to pick pebbles on the
shore in order not to show that I was crying. But Stella was not the kind of person to
be fooled that easily, and besides she also was on the verge of tears.

– How sad is all this, right? She does not live here... Doesn’t she understand? Do
you think she will stay with him? – The girl fidgeted. She wanted so much to know
everything.
Dozens of questions for these two recklessly happy people, who saw nothing
around, swarmed in my head. But I knew with absolute certainty that I could not ask
anything, being unable to disturb their unexpected and so fragile happiness...
– What shall we do? – Anxious Stella asked. – Shall we leave her here?

– I think it’s not we who should decide. This is her decision and her life. – Then
I addressed Isolda. – I am awfully sorry, Isolda, but we would like to go. Can we help
you in anything else?
– Oh, my dear girls! I totally forgot! Please, forgive me! – She clapped her hands,
blushing. – Tristanushka it’s they who we should thank! They brought me to you. I
came before, as soon as I found you, but you could not hear me... That was so hard,
now they have brought so much happiness!

Tristan suddenly bowed very low:
– I thank you, good maidens... for returning my happiness, my Ldinushka. I wish
you joy and good, celestial ones... I am in your debt forever... You only have to say.
His eyes began to glitter suspiciously and I understood that a little bit more and
he would cry. Therefore, in order for him keep his masculine pride (once hurt so
severely!), I turned to Isolda and said as tenderly as possible:

– I understand that you want to
stay? She sadly nodded.

– Then, look attentively at this. I hope it’ll help you to be here and make life a bit
easier. – I showed her my "special" green protection, hoping that they would be more
or less safe here with it.
– And one more thing. You’ve, probably, understood that here you could create your
"sunny world". I think he (I pointed at Tristan) would like it very much.
It was absolutely clear that Isolda did not even think about it and now she began
to shine with happiness, obviously anticipating what a "staggering" surprise she would
give to Tristan...
Everything around them began to sparkle with merry colours; the sea began to
shine with rainbows, and we understood that everything would be all right with them
