how our son?
The doctor answered.
– The hope is, but very weak.
Roman took an interest.
– Tell, he will survive?
– Let's hope that will survive.
Roman looked at Larisa, and that at him. It seemed that they thought about same. About professor, delivering at Larisa. Professor Eduard Velyaminovich. It had to help. He is a professor, and knows about nurseries about diseases Bol somebody. Yes, it has to help. Larisa asked.
– Tell the doctor if I bring mine the boy to hospital, you to object you do not awake?
The doctor said.
– I strongly object. The child will not be able to postpone a trip.
– Then I would like to invite the expert.
The doctor pricked up the ears.
– What expert?
– Professor who delivered at me.
– That ж. – the doctor heaved a deep sigh. – If you do not trust us?. – It made a pause, having kind of taken offense at these words. – Call the professor.
Here Larisa understood that she told nonsense. She that unwillingly, told the doctor that he is incompetent in the work. Well, it can and so? Who knows?
Leaving hospital, Larisa took Roman by hand. She did not know what to do to it? How to arrive in this situation? But this was not that problem, about which it should have worried. Suddenly seemed to it that in the distance, somewhere behind trees flew whose that shadow. Past shadow. It outright frightened her. On all body ran the chill developing into a fever. It nestled on Roman, but here having again seen this shadow. Something in it was ominous, something otherworldly, something terrifying. Larisa unexpectedly screamed, and having flinched, looked at Roman with scaredly terrifying eyes.
That, having immediately looked at it, scaredly asked.
– What is with you?
Having recovered, Larisa tone as if someone to death frightened her, answered with faltering tone.
– Anything. – her eyes exhaled horror. – I as it should be. – here she recovered, and having shaken added. – I in a full order.
– And seemed to me?
– What it seemed to you? – Larisa questioned, and immediately answered. – I in a full order. – then she added. – Let's go, in MONICA to call us. They went along the corridor and thought of something. It is difficult to understand what they spoke about. They discussed whether to call professor Eduard Velyaminovich or not. What they solved I do not know, but having left hospital to them there was a following. What I will tell you now of.
Chapter-3
Revival of Hope
They went down from steps of hospital. Larisa watchfully looked back, and without having seen anybody, thought that it only came in dream to her more than nothing. She did not know that or who it was? Whose that shadow? Terrible, cold, empty. A shadow of the person who perhaps is already dead. And she can was mistaken? She hoped that she was mistaken, and this not the ghost of the past. This only the played imagination her imagination. But she was mistaken. The shadow, pursued its all road, she as though knew where she lived. And here, having opened an apartment door, and having entered it. It changed clothes of footwear and having put on house-shoes, passed to the room. What their surprise when they saw in the room сидящею on a sofa of the person was. He watched TV. The channel which was switched on, this Nat Geo Wild channel: HD. On it there was a program about animals. Roman and Larisa carefully approached the person sitting on a sofa, and having bypassed a sofa saw that this was a woman, and not just the woman, before Roman sat his late mother. The hope revived. But how it is possible? Nadezhda died? He was at its funeral? Without knowing what to tell, he pronounced only the unique word.
– Mother? Did you as appear here?
Having grinned as if with a jeer, the woman answered.
– What, was not expected? – then it turned the head to Larisa. – Well hi Larisa! Did not expect me to see?
Larisa was dumbfounded. It was shocked. The woman sitting before it was dead!? Besides, they already buried her! It lay in a grave. But whether it lay in it? Who was this woman? Who is she?
Roman did not know what to do to it? Before it his mother sat! Living person, not the ghost. But if it not the ghost? If his mother Nadezhda is real, then who lies there, at the cemetery, in a grave? Who that person who lies there? And the coffin can it is empty? Maybe a funeral took place without dead man? This question haunted it.
Here unexpectedly Roman exclaimed.
– MOTHER!!! – he was glad and confused at the same time. I am glad because he saw the mother again. The only native person in this life. Yes, she was for it the native person. He did not appreciate it earlier. Considered that it only one in this world, and nobody is necessary to it. He will live one this life. Now he was glad! I am glad that sees the mother. Now, when from considered it died, it here. He uncertainly added – this you?
That steamed.
– And whom you wanted to see here? – with irony and a sneer Nadezhda told. Then it it is derisive and in too time it is ironic. – Dead man? – in its voice sounded a certain note of laughter. – I am not dead! I am alive! Zhivey is no place. – then she addressed Larisa. – And you considered me the dead woman? – she grinned. – You were told, it is necessary to pay for everything. – then she looked the novel, and with a jeer in a voice told. – Do you watch Roman whom you married? It otet me to kill, it is good that I was warned.
Roman did not understand what Nadezhda speaks about? He knew nothing about it. He was discouraged. He understood nothing. Then he took an interest at Larisa.
– What does she speak about?
Larisa shrugged shoulders.
– I do not know. – she told, on her face there was a surprise and misunderstanding. She did not assume that Nadezhda will be alive, and Alice betrayed it. She told that everything will execute, and did not keep the word. Now she hated Alice, hated for the fact that she betrayed it. Larisa took an interest. – You about what?
The hope grinned and having risen from a sofa, approached Larisa, and in an ear whispered.
– You know about what.
Of course Larisa knew about what Nadezhda did not finish speaking. What held back. She wanted it to recognize, but she knew what Nadezhda spoke about. But it was paralyzed? It could not move. She in general was not mobile. Larisa saw how Roman suffers, could not make the decision. Yes this decision was it is not easy to make. It was necessary to solve, to kill Nadezhda and to alleviate her suffering or until the end of life to doom her to torture. Long life a plant which will destroy only the life, but also life of close people, Roman and Vera. And when at Larisa the child was born, everything was over. Roman would throw Larisa, and that remained one. Larisa could not allow it. Then there was Alice, and she with her concluded the devil bargain. Which was in that Alice killed Nadezhda, and that in turn to pay off Alice. But
