In our street he was so alone. About 5 years ago there lived a family with three children, with younger Kevin we were even friends. I do not remember exactly the reason for their move, but they did it so quickly that I did not even have time to say goodbye to Kevin. Since then, no one has lived in their house, and their evergreen garden has become a gray overgrown shrub.
Two months ago a woman came to him. The house has 2 floors and 5 rooms, but she lived there alone. Various rumors circulated about her: someone said that she was barren and specially moved to an area with a large number of children to choose her own child. Others said that she had problems with the psyche and she decided to get away, hide from the past.
One day, I saw her coming out of the house. A car with darkened glasses pulled up behind her and took her away. She was wearing black clothes and her thin, pale face expressed anxiety.
- Mom, did you see that woman? She lives in the house opposite, where Kevin lived before, remember?
- Yes, Sarah, I saw it.
- Why does she live alone? Maybe she's sick, maybe she needs help?
- Sarah, I do not want to discuss this. The new resident is a rather suspicious person. I ask you not to start a conversation with her in any case, have you agreed?
- Oh, yes, Mom, but ...
- No" but, "Sarah! Get ready for school, soon the final exams!
One day I looked out the window and looked towards her house, I noticed the garden. Strange, but he was again green. Now there was not a single free place, because everything was planted with flowers. Is a bad person, can nature love? Is a dangerous person capable of such care?
I ran as fast as I could. From the head did not leave the thought of lying on the kitchen table sandwich. Always between the second and third lessons, I enjoy my mother made a sandwich with cheddar cheese. I forgot him, I do not remember ever forgetting him, but I also do not remember when I last woke up school. My breathing got heavier and heavier, but when I saw the stopped car near me, it seemed that I was generally choking. The window of the car sank and I saw again that pale and thin face, which this time looked even slightly benevolent. She smiled and said:
- Sit down, Sarah, I'll drop you off to school!
- What?- I said, - how do you know my name?
- How could I forget him? You really liked my Kevin. Did you forget it?
In her unfamiliar face, I recognized that Samus Mrs. Jen - the mother of the three children who lived in this house 5 years ago. My heart was so protective. How could I ... How could we all so inhumanly behave ... I got into the car and could not say a word.
- Half a year ago, my husband took our children to a hike in the mountains. I did not want to let go, but they were preparing for him so they were waiting for their first trip. He reassured me, said that everything would be all right and from the march our children would return to the real men ... I decided to return here, in this house we spent the happiest years together ...
