no way home

Once Alyosha left, he never came back. His last affectionate and forceful kiss stayed at the intersection of the countryside forever. Day after day, the light wind still brushed past the road, a few ducklings with soft fur wandered around the entrance of the village, the children were playing and laughing in the wind, and the woman and her husband with a baby in their arms walked leisurely. If Alyosha had returned, his fair face would have been covered in stubble. If Shura had heard the address repeated aloud over and over again on Alyosha's train, perhaps when Alyosha returned home, they would have followed the interrupted path of life. But, like his father, like thousands of his countrymen, Alyosha never came back, and he became an unsung hero in a foreign land.
The mother looked at the small road at the head of the village, thinking that the road was very short, and she might be able to see her son when she turned a corner. Alyosha also thought that he was so close to home that he could even go home in a day. The general said that the road during the war is not easy to walk. Alyosha did not expect the road to be so far. It was all to blame for this damn war, for the soldiers to leave their wives and go to the front line, and Alyosha had to bring two bars of soap to his wife by the way. It was all to blame for the damn war, the soldier lost his left leg, and Alyosha had to send him home. It's all because of this damn war that Alyosha met Shula and had to leave her... When he got home, the road was over and the time was over, and Alyosha could no longer fix the leaks in the house. Rain on the roof.
