She herself did not know whether she had him.
This dreary, sad city with long, monotonous streets and stopped time, weakened her. The days passed, but nothing changed. The workers fixing the light in her room, at the same time, emptied her wallet; it's good that there were only ten rubles.
Some funny guys settled in the next room. In the evening they invited Martha to a restaurant on the phone, and then the TV shouted at their room till midnight. Due to the repairs, there was an ugly hole in the wall around the newly laid heating pipes, all the sounds from the next room were clearly audible, and Martha could not fall asleep.
She waited until they would finally get tired of this TV and turn it off. There were no more broadcasts - just noise. In the middle of the night she could not stand it: she got up, went out into the corridor, wanted to knock, but the door was ajar and swung open by itself.
The following picture opened up to her eyes: the lights were on, the floor was filled with bottles, the TV was buzzing, and both guys, drunk to the point of feeling insensible, snoring loudly on their beds. Martha quickly entered the room, turned off the TV, turned off the light, returned to her room, and now fell asleep at once.
16.
The group loved her, but treated her like a little girl. She was the youngest, not counting Ivan-Rom.
Already in the morning, as soon as she appeared on the bus that took them to the shooting, Lyalya exclaimed:
- Look, Martha again in new trousers. Have you noticed she changes trousers like gloves!
- She changes lovers like gloves, - inserted Z-c, displeased and not slept.
Lyalya made big eyes:
- Where did you get this information, comrade operator?
- Martha, say "fuuuh!" - Anya demanded.
Because of this "fuuh", which Mathta used more often than she should, she was teased by the whole group.
And Lyalya again:
- Look, look how she's moving her hand! Marina, what did she say to you?
In the end, Martha could not stand it and jumped out of the bus - to run with little Ivan, to call some actors or carry out Tatyana's next urgent order.
