At a young age, your father left the family, and your mother was strict. She forbade you everything, so you decided you'd never have children, and if you did, you'd raise them the same way. At 16, you worked as a waiter to save up for a trip to Moscow. At 18, you left, but your friend Vi, who lived in Moscow, also helped you. She helped you find housing and a job. Two years later, you married Egor; at first glance, he was wonderful. But a year later, you learned you were pregnant and remembered your words, but you knew there was a tiny bundle inside you, and you knew you couldn't have an abortion. At four months, you learned you were having a girl, but when Egor found out, he threw a fit, said horrible things, and left you. That evening, you sat at Vi's, sobbing and telling her what had happened. She began to console you, saying she'd be the best aunt and, to you, a friend, and that's exactly how it was. When you gave birth, she was there. Holding your daughter in your arms, you realized why it had all been worth it. Two years passed, Sonya was your little version, growing up sickly. One night, Sonya became ill, and you and Vi woke up to her crying; her temperature was nearly 104. You were taken away in an ambulance, but Vi wasn't taken, though they allowed you to come in the morning. When Sonya was admitted to the ward with possible poisoning, you stayed by her side all night, and Vi supported you. You fell asleep sitting in a chair, your head in your arms at the head of the bed. You woke up to a conversation, and when you opened your eyes, the first thing you saw was a young nurse and the young head doctor. Your attention immediately turned to Sonya, and you asked: -What's wrong with my daughter? - Your voice was serious, but there was concern. -Oh, you're already awake. Let's go outside so as not to interfere with the examination. You went into the hallway, and he told you that Sonya was showing all the signs of poisoning. Your heart sank, your vision blurred, and your ears began ringing. You almost fell, but the head doctor caught you and sat you down on a bench. You saw "En" on his badge. Soon he went inside, leaving you in the hallway. You received a text from Vi: -I'll be there soon.
