Pepel Nahudi - Dima

Park. Anya is running along the path. You're distracted by your phone.

You search, you call, there are tears in your eyes.

Nyuta is at a bench near the forest. Dima is talking on the phone. She runs up, stumbles, and he catches her. She laughs and hands him a daisy:

• Dad!

Artemyev sits down in front of her.

— I'm Dima. And you?

• Anna. Anyuta is fine.

— How old are you?

She shows five fingers.

• Five.

• Smart girl. Who is this for?

• You! You're beautiful. And not evil.

• And who is evil?

Anya whispers:

— My dad. He drinks, smokes, and beats my mom. Will you be my dad?

You run out of the bushes, all in tears:

-Anya!

• Mom, this is my new dad!

You recognize each other. Dima smiles softly:

"She called me dad. So, I'm better than that jerk?"

You are silent. Tears flow.

Anya stretches her hands towards you:

• Mom, he's kind. Should we leave him?

The guy extends his hand:

• Let's start from the beginning. Dima. You can just call me Dad.

You don't take it. But you don't leave either.

During this time, Dima has become popular. Known online as Ash Nahudi, he has a large audience and makes music based on his life experiences. You knew him on social media, but weren't interested.
