On Friday I was going to the train station to leave for the country. I saw a pregnant girl on the platform. She sat and looked longingly into the distance. She had a bag of things in her hands. It was immediately obvious that the girl was leaving for a short time. Returning from the dacha, I saw her again in the same place. She was wearing the same clothes and carrying the same package. I decided to talk to her. – You will excuse me for being intrusive. I saw you at the same place on Friday. Can’t you leave?
– I’m not going anywhere. My husband threw me out of the door. It turned out that the girl had no relatives and friends. She’s from an orphanage herself. She was embarrassed to ask for help from passers-by. I decided to help her. She offered to come to me. I don’t have children, and neither do men. The next morning, the girl shared her troubles. Her name is Larisa and she is 21 years old. She herself is an orphanage. A civilian man drank a lot and walked. Larisa decided to try her luck in the capital. And he doesn’t know what he’s going to do now. After all, she’s going to give birth soon and she’s unlikely to be hired to work with such a belly.
Where am I going to let her go now? She said she would stay with me for the time being, and then it would be seen. I collected children’s things for a friend, bought a crib, a stroller. Soon Larisa gave birth to a daughter. So beautiful and strong. I got her a job with friends. She turned out to be responsible and learned quite quickly. My friends were very pleased with her, and her career began to develop rapidly.
Larisa and I became close people. For Varenka, I was my own grandmother. We sent her to kindergarten when she was 2 years old. Recently, Larisa came and said that the head of the company had made her an offer, and she did not know what to do. I was very happy for her. Three months later she got married. They often come to visit me. That’s how I became a mother and grandmother in my old age.
