I must have awakened Mashas appetite with that, but God forgive me! I didnt pay much attention to the second sign from Heaven, I mean, Masha hinted that it would be nice to go to a cafe! To eat near the Kremlin or even on Tverskaya?! Thank you! Mummy had never eaten outside at all, not to mention Tverskaya or near the Kremlin! However, instead of immediately saying goodbye to Masha forever, I pretended not to notice her desire to have a bite. I brought her to the subway and returned to my swamp. By the way, I drive an antique parents car! Mummy loved it very much, so do I!
The cranberry season was still far away and I felt sad. I sent Masha a letter from the swamp. And she dared to write me back nothing!!! Then I got angry and sent her a postscript, And just dare to say something bad about my mother! I will kill you!
Okay, Masha hadnt said anything bad about Mummy at that time, but I decided to warn her in advance, just to let her know! I hadnt warned my ex-wife. And when, after several years of our life together, she dared to say that Mummy should finally let us live separately Imagine! Who would have thought! How many years I had endured her!
However, Masha was silent again! I saw that she had received and read my message and the postscript to it!
I got furious!!! Mummy had reacted to all my messages with lightning speed! So I decided, knowing where and until what hour Masha worked, to secretly follow her in the evenings from her office to her home to see if my passion had anyone to eat together Lapland deer fillets and French snails!
Thank God, Masha and I had nothing special at that time, I mean, I hadnt even touched her with a finger, not to mention all sorts of veal tenderness. Anyway, I had accomplished a whole feat, driving Mummys favorite car from the swamp to the city and back only to walk Masha along Tverskaya that evening!
I settled in with the homeless bums in the basement opposite the Mashas house. Well, it was okay, I could bear it, since I started it for a good cause, to get know what to do with Masha I told my dad that I was on a secret mission of special services, so I would be absent in our swamp for a while.
And so a week later I noticed that Masha met some sort of a girl of her age!.. And they went to a cafe near the Kremlin!!!
What a shit?! How did she dared to change me for a girl??? Mummy! Forgive me! Sorry! I dared to imagine that Masha is like you!!!
I returned to the swamp and wept! The bright memory of my holy Mummy was instantly desecrated by the mere thought of a possible connection with such a dirty and vicious Masha! How could I have allowed such a sacrilegious black stain to appear?! Damn! It needed to be removed immediately! Once and forever!!!
That evening I went to the city and ambushed Masha, who was returning home from work, at the entrance to her house. She even smiled at seeing me and said Hi, as if we had seen each other yesterday. I suggested talking in Mummys car. And how lucky I was! she agreed.
Of course, Masha said I was crazy, because that girl of her age had been just her cousin. But did Mashas words give a 100% guarantee that there had been nothing between them well, you know, what I mean! as I returned to the swamp out of grief
I dont go to a cafe even with my brother! I havent seen him in ages. Since he got married. Yes, he is a traitor! Left Mummy! Swapped her for some
Sorry, I was distracted from Masha!
She could tell me anything just to escape, as I had caught her like a bird in a cage, locking in Mummys favorite car, but Masha was completely different from Mummy! And I couldnt just couldnt do otherwise! After all, Mummy had promised to watch over me from Heaven and to be always nearby! So, she knew that I fell for Masha and imagined her in the place of Mummy!!! Oh, my God!!! Just the thought of it drove me crazy!
I took Masha to the swamp (naturally, we didnt go into our family hut, so as not to desecrate it by her visit!), and then, when that disgustingly vicious woman was already dead, I got myself cranberries from the fridge and ate, and ate, and ate them so that not to catch a cold after another stress! as Mummy had always advised me to do
April 02, 20216. Coffee
I was sitting in the office, composing an important letter, when the phone rang again. An excited female voice asked for Vladislav.
Excuse me, could you introduce yourself? I asked.
His wife
I tried not to betray my surprise and keep calm at least outwardly. Firstly, she used to call him on his mobile, never to the office. Secondly, that day Vlad planned to spend negotiating at the bank since morning. Didnt she know? But there was no time to think.
Hello, Marina! Its Vika. Vladislav is at the bank. Im not sure hell show up in the office. Has something happened?
Yes, she said, still excited. I called on his mobile, its switched off, but I left a message. The alarm went off in our flat. Im scared!
The negotiations wont be over until lunchtime, but Vladislav will certainly listen to your message. Of course, I can call him too, but if the phone is switched off
