Vlad Mafanya

Vlad Kalyuka is a guy living an ordinary life. Until one moment.
Just recently, Vlad was probably the happiest man on earth. His girlfriend was pregnant, they were expecting a daughter, and they got a promotion at work. But things weren't so smooth... Over time, arguments began to appear more and more frequently in their small family. Alena was unhappy that her future husband had started coming home late and staying at work for so long.
And one day, their nerves gave out. During their next argument, the girl ran out of the apartment with tears in her eyes and slammed the door behind her.
The next morning, Kalyuka received a call from the hospital with some not-so-good news: Alena had died after being hit by a car. The child was saved.

— Varya, don't be capricious, we're already late. Eat faster, my sunshine.

• Four years have passed since then. After the girl's death, the brown-haired man felt very bad, but he promised to stay strong for his daughter's sake.
  Kalyuka Jr. finally finished her semolina porridge, and dad and daughter ran to the kindergarten. *

• Time was running out, but they barely made it, and the young father knocked on the door with the name on the piece of paper "Middle Group Malinki". A short guy (Vladimir Ivanov, whose name was on the badge) came out in response to the knock, glanced at those standing in front of him, and sighed. *
  — Please forgive us, we're a little late...

• The first brunette began, scratching the top of his head. Vlad was apparently looking with interest at the new teacher at the kindergarten. After all, there used to be a woman of quite a prestigious age here. Suddenly, their eyes met, Vlad blushed for a moment, and then looked away.
