Sonya collected dirty linen and was preparing to launch the washing machine when she heard her mother -in -law’s voice from the living room. – The sun, if you launch washing, can you wash my jeans as well? They hang on a chair in my room. “Of course,” Sonya said, heading for his room. Taking the jeans, she automatically started checking her pockets, as once in the washing machine, a flash drive of her husband drowned. When checking the back pocket, she felt a folded piece of paper.

Stretching it and unfolding, Sonya saw a handwritten note: “My dear Vitaliy, I want to see you again. Your tenderness and attention illuminate my days. Looking forward to our meeting. With love, Ira. ” The heart of Sonya began to fight madly. She could not believe that her father -in -law had another woman. Sleeping her eyes with surprise, she went to the living room door where Vitaliy read the newspaper.

“Dad,” Sonya began with indecision, “what is it?” Vitaliy looked at the note and looked at Sonia with regret. “Oh, that’s …” he began. – This is a letter of my old girlfriend. We were very close many years ago before I married your mother -in -law. Sonya was embarrassed. – But why does she write such things? This is… a love note. Vitaliy sighed. – In fact, it’s a note from the past. I found her recently when I was arranging old things.

I couldn’t throw it out because the note reminded me of my youth and unfulfilled dreams. Ira and I lost my connection, and I have not seen her for many years. Sonya nodded. – I understand, Dad. The past sometimes pulls us back. “Thank you that you did not condemn me,” Vitaliy said, getting rid of confusion. – Some memories are simply difficult to let go. Both smiled at each other, and at that moment there was a special understanding between them, which lasted for many years.
