I worked in a grocery store. There were some buyers that day. An elderly woman approached the box office. I served it. An elderly woman attracted me a confused look at the purchase. It showed that she had gained a lot of products and did not know how to pull it home. – I asked her. I asked me to replace at the box office, as I had a legitimate lunch. When we sacrifice with my dinner time, I helped the elderly woman. I met her and she readily told her situation. Antonina Ivanovna said that in her 78 years no one helps her. The son was buried – died of cancer. The daughter -in -law died slowly and does not mention her mother. After spending her in the apartment, we said goodbye to her. She thanked me with a good word and wished a good groom. I told her with a smile that she was already married and I had two children. Then we have repeatedly seen. I was also helped to bring bags with products. Antonina Ivanovna was constantly invited to tea afterwards. So I had lunches – for tea and treats. She already knew my schedule of change and came in my change.

Once at work, Antonina Ivanovna did not meet. I hardly waited for the end of the change. After a working day, I quickly rushed to her home and knocked on the door. After long attempts to reach the apartment, a female and dissatisfied voice came from behind:- Why did you break? Antonina’s girlfriend? She told a lot about you- Yes, “I replied.” Antonin was buried yesterday. Here’s a note from her. She asked to pass when she was taken with a heart attack – a neighbor, a folded leaf, a trembling hand. I put this leaf in her pocket, was shocked and could not read, came home as if in the fog, told her husband about it. He had long known about Antonina Ivanovna. I forgot about the leaf. I found it when I was going to wash things and checked my pockets. There was not a neat handwriting there, because she most likely wrote this note in a bad state. The letter was as follows: “Vika, I have no one else to ask. I have a granddaughter Dasha. She is from the same disadvantaged daughter. My daughter was deprived of parental rights and now the granddaughter is in the orphanage. I visited her every weekend. I would like to ask you to visit.

And call this number … ”The number was written at the bottom of the note. After typing it, I heard a male voice. After explaining the whole situation to the man, he immediately realized who he was talking to and invited me to come at one address. We went with her husband together at this address. As it turned out it was a notary office. We were announced there by Antonina Ivanovna’s will. She rewrite the apartment. On the weekend, my husband and I went to the orphanage where we were accepted and brought us Dasha. It was a fair-haired 10-year-old girl. She fascinated us so much that when we arrived home, we decided to admit. Our children have already received enough adults as their own. Three years after the events, I and my husband quarreled very much. We quarreled because of the little things. The man left home to his mom, and he did not appear for a whole month. However, he returned home and began to live as before. It took another 7 years. Dasha has already grown. The apartment that we got from her grandmother was rewritten to her. But she was in no hurry to move there. She handed over to her apartment, and lived with us. The whole family still lived in the same apartment. Adult children did not flee from the family nest. I was waiting for one everyday evening with my children from work. He was late. Suddenly I heard the man entering the house and I ran to meet him. But on the threshold he was not alone. The man held the little boy’s hand.

– I will explain everything to you now, – the man began. I realized that this baby was not alien to eat- I interrupted uncertain attempts to start talking to me- then after dinner, when the children were put to sleep, a long conversation took place.- It was seven years ago? – I.- Yes. Just know, I love you. It was when we quarreled with you and I went to live with my mother. I drank for a long time. So Lena was drunk. I thought with you then … I thought I would not be back. Having lived for 2 days, I realized that he was not my wife. She is constant booze, guns. Here I went. And today I was called to come urgently. I don’t know how they found me. When I arrived, I saw the spooky living conditions. Lena didn’t tell me anything. She only said to her son, “Look, your folder came.” The baby ran to me and hugged my hand. Lena then explained that the care of them. And if I do not take with me, then the kid will be taken to the orphanage-man poured me everything-will you tell you to hand it to the orphanage?! I will go! I did not grow it up. I stopped the man and said that the morning of the evening was wiser. We went to bed. In the morning I woke up and looked at the boy. He was so similar to my husband. After that, I realized that he was ours and we would not give it anywhere.
