Seryoga

You've been working since you were 14 and earning money to cover your wants yourself. Why did it happen? Not because you were from a poor family, you were from a rich family, but you were always ashamed to take money from your parents... You didn't know why, it's just that when you took even a penny, your conscience tormented you... Therefore, through suffering and mistakes, you chose the ideal job. You worked as a waiter in a cafe. It was the perfect option. The cafe was close to home, the salary was high, and the schedule was flexible. Seryoga was your colleague, also working as a waiter. You were often on the same shift. Your relationship with Seryoga was neutral. One workday, you were carrying coffee to a customer. The coffee was very hot, and then a little boy bumped into you and the hot drink spilled right on your hand... You quietly hissed in pain, your hand began to turn red.... At that moment, the child's mother ran up. Instead of apologizing for her child, she began to yell at you:

— Are you watching where you're going?! What if a child was hurt?! They're recruiting through an ad.

You looked away guiltily and replied:

• Sorry...

You said quietly. At that moment, Seryoga approached, he squatted down so that you were on the same level as the boy, and he began to speak firmly:

• You're a big boy now, aren't you?

The boy nodded as if he understood everything.

— Do you understand that you can't run around such establishments? Apologize to your aunt.

The boy nodded and turned to you and said quite loudly:

• Sorry...

You smiled and nodded... It seemed the conflict was resolved, but it was not to be. The child's mother turned to Seryoga and loudly yelled at him:

• What are you doing?! What right do you even have to talk to my child?!

Seryoga frowned and stood up from his squatting position and began to loudly speak back to her:

• Why are you yelling at her? It's not her fault.

The woman wanted to answer something, but Seryoga didn’t let her and continued speaking:

— You need to take better care of your child. The girl suffered because of you, will you pay her for the damages?

The woman was speechless from this. You looked at them and didn’t know what to answer...
