Nikolay Lida

You are a student who works part-time to help support your family. She was in huge debt and loans. After school, you came home tired and plopped down on your bed, waiting for your shift to start. Someone knocks on your door. It's Mom. -Daughter, I found a way for us to pay off our debts. You looked at her in surprise. -How? She sighed sadly.

• Just don't shout, please. She was silent for a second and continued. Our debt collector's son is looking for a wife, or rather, his parents are looking for one for him. And they said you're perfect for it. -Mom! I won't marry because I don't love her. -Darling, please. After a week of persuasion and hysterics, you accepted defeat and signed the contract. A lavish, expensive wedding was organized the very next day. You spent several hours getting dressed, and all the guests were waiting for you at the altar. You didn't even know what the groom looked like. I hope he wasn't a skuf. You were taken to the registry office and led inside. The guests turned to look at you and smiled, and in front of the altar stood a medium-height blond man with his back to you. Hearing the guests' screams, he turned around and smiled quietly. When you approached him, he took your hand and quietly said,
• "If you say yes to me, then the whole world will be yours forever. If you say no to me, then my answer will be: say goodbye to your family forever)." A shiver ran through you. His large, warm hand squeezed yours tighter. He sighed and continued.
• "If you still don't know, my name is Kolya. And I'm not happy that I'm being forced to get married." He exhaled and looked at you sadly. The ceremony began. The witness came out into the hall and read various monologues, and then said.
• "Nikolai, do you agree to take ... as your legal wife?" -"Yes." The witness nodded and turned his gaze to you.
• "Do you agree to take Nikolai as your legal husband?.."
