![]() My mother rushed to cover me with an umbrella – you’re finally here my love, you’ll catch something like that – she said as she cleaned up her tears a bit – the flight got a bit delayed – I walk with little interest – I really thought you wouldn’t come – she tried to follow me in a hurry – I wasn’t going to, but I had to see THE THEATER THIS PEOPLE WANTED TO SHOW – I raised my voice to make extra sure everyone listened that part – Yulia could you please lower your voice when talking – said my mother in almost a murmur while looking around – please mother, you know I’m not lying, these people you see are crying hypocritically, when dad was about to fall into bankruptcy where nowhere to be found, they say they miss him for the good person he was, when he never did anything remotely good for anyone but himself, so I guess the most hypocrite of you all must be her – I raised my finger to point out someone close to the coffin looking down, I couldn’t see her face from the fact that she was crestfallen but also because she was wearing a black veil and a hat – CAN’T YOU SHUT UP?! – she said getting up and looking at me with anger. Down – you’re right on that one, now tell me what’s the reason I had to pick you up, not that I mind or anything, but why didn’t your father send one of his drivers or why didn’t your mother come herself – he moved while chatting and put the luggage on the trunk of his car – my father died two days ago and didn’t want his employees to come pick me up, my mother will arrive today as well – I said while putting sunglasses on – I’m so sorry Yulia, I didn’t… – he hugged me sounding apologetic for what he said – Don’t worry about it, you know what kind of relationship I had with my father – I separated from him while saying with a stoic face – I knew you didn’t have the best of the relationships, he wasn’t a good father, but it’s thanks to him that you have what you have – he opened the door to let me in – thank you – I closed the umbrella I was using and proceeded to sit down – what I needed was a father, not monthly allowance, I graduated from Oxford and didn’t hear a single “I love you”, I’ve seen him like 8 times since he divorced – I fastened the belt while talking – I know, but in any case he was your father and I’m sure it pains you – the car started moving as we spoke – no, why would someone I never met hurt myįeelings, the only reason I’m here is because my mother told me to – I crossed my arms to deny – even so your mother still talked to both your father and stepmother – he accelerated a bit – which one? – I yawned – the last one, I think, come on Yulia you’ve only had three stepmothers – he tried to smile – I met the first one, only ever talked once by phone and I don’t even know the surname of the last one – I looked outside the window to see the streets of my beloved Moscow – it doesn’t look any different than I remember – a smile appeared on my face – no, but there are new locals, cafés and even a mall – he turned left – that’s what I thought… – some kids were running down the street excited by the rain – in the past six years I’ve only been able to see your mother three times, last time she told me she was busy with a fashion show in Milan – we stopped at a traffic light – yes, seven months ago, she has been truly busy lately, she should land in Paris today if she hasn’t done so already – I couldn’t contain a sigh – so, how is ![]()
