There are times when you think it’s a fantasy, but it turns out to be true.
I will write about my close relatives. I have an uncle. Now he is already at a respectable age, but then he was still young. He has a wife and two children - a son and a daughter. My son is a year younger than me, and my daughter is eight years younger. These are my cousins. My uncle worked as a shop manager at a factory. Another woman worked at the same plant somewhere in the quality control department. She was married, her husband worked as a bus driver, and they had a daughter five years younger than my cousin. Still just a child then. If my brother and I were twelve or thirteen years old, then she was eight years old. She already went to school and was a very interesting and pretty girl. Her parents were friends with my uncle’s family and often visited each other. My parents were always invited in the same way, and my parents usually took me with them. I liked that girl too, but she was still very little. My brother and I rode her bike. Then I grew up, went to school, a year later my cousin also graduated from school, worked at a factory for a year and went into the army. Returned from the army and decided to study enrolling. When I was already in my third year, I accidentally met on the train the girl
from childhood. Fell in love again. She has already grown up and is also a student, only at a different institute. We chatted on the train and agreed to meet and walk around the city. And then - love. We started meeting every day. Neither she nor he said anything to their parents. The cousin was the leader of the group and in good standing. I made an agreement with the commandant of the hostel and he allocated him a separate room, although it was very neglected and was under renovation. I also helped him put it in order. He began to live together with that girl. As for me, everything is fine. I was happy for my brother, although I also really liked her, but I didn’t even dare to think about taking her away from my brother.
And then the most interesting thing. The girl became pregnant and apparently the pregnancy was desired and planned. We decided to get married and went to her and his parents to tell him about it. The girl’s mother did not immediately hide the fact that she was not happy with her daughter’s decision, and when she found out that her daughter was pregnant, she created a scandal almost with hysterics. She referred to the fact that her daughter needed to study, have a career and everything else. Soon the same conversation was held with my cousin. But the brother and his fiancee did not give up, they understood that it was not about study and career, they felt that their parents had some secrets, but did not even suspect what they were.
Realizing that time was passing, the girl’s mother decided to show all her cards . She admitted to her daughter that in her youth she could not get pregnant from her husband, but she had an affair with her shop manager, from whom she gave birth to her. It turned out that on their father’s side they are brother and sister. Naturally, the argument was serious. The mother took her daughter to the gynecology department, where she had an abortion. The girl no longer resisted and felt broken and unhappy. And then the uncle’s wife and the girl’s husband found out about this. Scandals at home. It didn’t come to the point of divorce, because a lot of time has passed and in such years people don’t get divorced anymore. Most of all I feel sorry for the girl. She then met another guy, but they did not have children and they soon broke up. Now he lives with his almost elderly mother; his father died a few years after the scandal. Today everyone believes that it is because of that abortion that they have no happiness. This is Santa Barbara :)
