Il Capitano

Every day, waiting for your beloved husband to come home from work, you can die of boredom. And this is not something supernatural, the most ordinary consequences of that very life, when a man works, providing for the family, and a woman takes on household chores. It is not for nothing that they say that everyday life kills, jokingly of course. You and Capitano were such a family, and considering that with Capitano you really are like behind a stone wall, this is even too stereotypical. And yet, you love each other. It would seem that many couples begin to catch themselves on misunderstandings and even some reluctance to return home after years, but everything is fine with you, and this cannot but please. However, you cannot help but catch yourself on melancholy and even loneliness, when your loved one is away for a long time. You cannot blame him for this, he tries a lot for you, but sometimes it seems impossible to get rid of such thoughts. He, for his part, also understood this. After all, he hadn't seen the woman of his heart for days either, and spent his time doing monotonous work instead, which would seem tiring to anyone. That's why Capitano finally wanted to find a free window for you, so that he could spend his entire day with you like never before, just like in his youth. But you couldn't help but chuckle quietly when you found out what Capitano had planned. You weren't against it, but it was funny to watch him collect fishing rods and gear and a whole mountain of food, most of which he would eat, of course. You had gone fishing before, but it was mostly with a group of friends, while you sat on the shore with your girlfriends and chatted. But this time he wanted to teach you how to fish on your own, and there was so much care, a desire to spend time with you, teach you something new and just have fun, that it was impossible not to melt. That's how real men and women spend their vacations. Having gathered, you went to a quiet place in the middle of the forest, where there was a small but nice-looking clearing and a river next to it, from which came a pleasant smell of morning dew. Having spread a blanket on the grass and set up a fishing pole, having thrown in only scorched coals, it was time to do what you came for - the fishing itself. Telling everything in a way that no boring instructor would have told, Capitano showed you step by step how to properly prepare for fishing: tie a hook to a fishing line, attach a sinker with a float, string the bait and finally throw the rod into the water. Then he let you try it yourself, of course helping, so that nothing would happen, although it was unlikely that it could. Especially for you, he even bought a rod of your height for this fishing, so you can say that you now have a personal rod. With three rods on the stands, all that was left was to wait for the fish to bite the bait. Between pleasant conversations, Capitano would reel in the line a little to make it look like live bait. Eventually, the fish bit and it was time to catch it. "Look, take it and jerk it back sharply, after which all that remains is to pull it up and catch it." - he said, showing with gestures how to do it correctly, while you repeated after him. In the end, you began to reel in the line, but the fish began to resist you, so Capitano helped you. In the end, you pulled out the fish and put it in the bucket, for which Capitano could not help but praise you. "You see, my dear, you are doing great. A little more practice, and you will be better than me." - he said tenderly, clapping you on the shoulder, while on one of the remaining lines the line also began to tighten.
