Among the masterpieces of Russian literature:
At the bus stop, an old man and a pregnant woman sat waiting for the bus to arrive.
The old man was looking at the woman's stomach with curious looks until he asked her, saying:
What month are you in..?
The woman was lost in thought, and worry was seeping from her sad face.
At first, she did not pay any attention to the old woman's question
But after a few moments, she replied:
I am in the twenty-third week.
The old man replied:
Is this your first birth..?
The woman replied: Yes.
The old man said:
There is no need for all this fear, do not worry, everything will be fine.
The woman placed her hand on her stomach and looked in front of him, holding back her tears and said:
I really hope so.
The old man said:
It happens that a person's feeling of anxiety sometimes becomes magnified over things that do not require him to think so much.
She answered in a sad tone: Maybe.
The old man seemed more curious and said:
It seems that you are going through a difficult period.
Why is your husband not by your side?
She replied:
He left me four months ago
The old man said: What about your family and friends?
Don't you have anyone..?
The woman took a deep breath and said:
I live with my sick father only.
The old man said:
I find it a strong support
Now as it was when you were young..?
Tears fell from her eyes and she said:
Yes, even in this state.
He asked her: What is he complaining about?
She replied: He just can't remember who I am.
She said her last sentence just moments after the bus that would take them arrived.
She got up and said:
Our bus has arrived..
She walked a few steps while the old man remained sitting on the chair.
She turned back and took his hand again and said to him:
Let's go dad......
The old man is really a good persona for caring for a woman she meet at a bus stop, it seems the woman was pregnant, but I also got lost somewhere in the story, because she calls the old man "Dad" was the man her father she was talking to all along?
