PRIVATE LESSONS

個人レッスン

花束をもらうのは、誰でも嬉しいものだろう。予期せぬ人から予期せぬ機会に受け取ると尚更。先日、1週間の書籍修復の個人レッスンをした。ロシアから来たITエンジニアの女性は、頭脳明晰で手先も器用、打てば響く生徒は教えがいがある。シベリア出身モスクワ在住だが、寒いのが大嫌いだそうだ。レッスン最終日、お茶とお菓子を用意して、彼女とご主人を招いた。夫婦と言っても2人は若い。モスクワの若者は皆25歳には結婚するそうだ。結婚も離婚も、自宅からアプリで簡単に数分で手続きできるとか。ロシアでは、学校の最終日に先生に花を贈る習慣があるそうで、私達にそれぞれ花束をくれた。そんな彼ら優しさと暖かさは心に響き、長く思い出に残るだろう。
