Professional 2019
First Place: Lilya Khachatryan, Hrazdan
Love and Pain are two people that are walking around a path together. They decide to sit down on a bench and have a conversation.
Though it was a sunny morning there were some clouds in the sky and a slight wind was blowing. Love and Pain were walking in a park that was in the outskirts of the city. There were few others in the park. - Happiness, Joy, Sadness, Anger and some others. As Love and Pain had already been walking for a long time, they got tired and sat on the bench that was next to the broken statue of Eros. They had so much to tell each other, there was so much piled in their hearts, in their minds.
- Pain, are you going to leave me again?
- I have to, you know. But I'm not leaving for good. You know, I never will.
- You gave me so much pain. I don't even know why I'm still waiting and loving you. I could have loved Hapiness and my days would be filled with joy.
- You love me because I'm Pain. You won't be complete without me. Love is not complete without Pain.
- How is that?
- If there was only Love, all our greatest feelings, all the passion would vanish very soon. It's Pain that keeps it alive, it's Pain that makes you breath faster and faster, that gets you out of breath, it's Pain that makes you stand under the rain and wait and wait and wait...
Now it was raining and there was a pleasant aroma of flowers , grass, and love.
- Love, have you read "A Farewell to the Arms? Have you read Mastin Eden, The Great Gatsby, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Tess of the d'Urbervilles and many other wonderful novels? Would they have been as beautiful if there was only love, without pain.
- I guess not.
- I'm not as cruel and terrible as you think. No, not at all. Would the Sun be as beautiful as it's now when the rain is falling, when the wind is blowing. Tell me now, isn't this beautiful? Hold my hand. You are not complete without me because I give you everything. I give you happiness, I give you sadness, I give you, I take it away from you. I make you suffer. Right. I do. But do you want me to leave you for good? Tell me now. Be frank. Do you?
- No, I don't.
- So you think I'm terrible?
- No. I love you, Pain.
Now the sun was slowly hiding behind the clouds and the storm was approaching. Love and Pain were warmly and silently admiring each other under the cold rain.

Love and Pain are two people that are walking around a park together. They decide to sit down on a bench and have a conversation.
What a beautiful day! One can smell fresh air and experience breathtaking emotions, as it is a special day! Every year people celebrate one of the greatest holidays "Emotion Celebration" in the town of Feelingomania.
The feelings and emotions gather together to celebrate the triumph of their mission/each and every year.......Cool breeze was floating, and the beech trees were singing and creating a very warm atmosphere in the park.
Pain, dressed in black and grey, was as pale as a ghost. His wrinkled face expressed nothing, but sorrow and grief. He was like a vagrant: despondent and his eyes full of endless sadness. He was walking in the park in the hope of finding a good company for spreading his black energy and negative, painful vibes.
Suddenly, the sun got brighter and the birds began singing so sweetly that the Emotions stood and danced happily. Pain noticed the smiling eyes of Love. She was so beautiful, so pretty. and her dress: red and voluminous, and her wavy long hair tied with red ribbons. As Love was too passionate and energetic, she soon felt tired and approached Pain. They sat on the bench. None of them dared strike up a conversation. Love decided to break the silence.
- I love to love, you know! I can help you look more beautiful and happier. By telling this, she took one of the red ribbons and tied around his wrist. Pain would hear his heartbeat.
-I don't have the knack to love. Each time I want to love, my heart aches and blood drips, tk,tk,tik,tik! I want to smile, but I sigh from the pain, from exhausting pain which wears me out. I am useless...
-Look, dear Painie, there are people who of course don't live in our city of Feelingomania, they live in different towns, and they need to experience different feelings to understand good and bad things, kindness and evil. And, moreover, dear friend, when they experience bad things, pain, sorrow, grief, they appreciate every single happy moments in their lives. No one can make you fade away. You and me, Love and Pain, we both live in a place called heart. We should live in a harmony. Whenever someone feels blue, feels pain, I can come and make the pain less stressful by Loving. This is my calling, dear Painie!
Pain's eyes were full of tears, The heartwarming words made his grey heart beat faster, and what he saw was mindblowing and flabbergasting. His heart turned red. Can you imagine? He couldn't believe in his eyes. And the red ribbon around his wrist was shining and radiating Love and Harmony.

- A lovely day, isn't it?, - said Love
- Oh, but there is something sad, sighed Pain
- Don't say that, what a nonsense! You are always spoiling wonderful moments. Try to feel the gentle touch of the sunrays. How pleasant they are! And she closed her eyes.
- Yeah, but they are not timeless. Just a few moments! They you'll feel the freezing cold inside you! It's too painful to feel the great happiness at one moment and then just in a few seconds lose everything. You can't imagine how painful it is! Can you bear those endless tears at nights, the sorrow that overwhelms you at the damn time of bitter dissappoinment? No, right? So don't be so naive. Time passes and nothing is forever. And he looked at Love who was still sitting next to him
- Oh, dear! You will never change. You know it's up to you to think like this. As to me it's us who decides whether this or that phenomenon in life is endless or not. When we don't want to struggle any more we just say "It's not for us, everything is changeable.", but the truth is we are tired of fighting for it You know how hard it is to get to me? How many "Pains" like you they should pass over. How many "Sorrows", "Disappointments"... Look around, they are everywhere.
And Pain tooked a glance. Really they were wandering in every corner, under every tree.
- Good heavens, so many of them! - he was shocked.
- And now can you notice other "Loves" around? Don't even try to find. There is no other "Love" but me. True love. So any one who really desires to see me, to fail to touch, to make sure that he/she hasn't lived his life in vain should overcome all of "them" to reach me.
- What about me? - wondered Pain with a cunning and wicked smile on his face. I'll always be with you.
- Yeah, never mind. Anybody who tasted me couldn't avoid tasting you as well. This is true. "C'est la vie" as my french friend is used to saying. They know it and they are ready to overcome all the barriers, even the unpleasant ones like you Sometimes they have nothing to do but live with you and me together.
- So together, forever? - pointing his hand to Love he announced with a quiet hear in relief
- Together, but sometimes just let me walk alone my path, and she pushed him gently away with a faint smile in the corner of her mouth.
- You'll never change, darling! - rushed Pain to her.
