My city: the tragedy of one family. Дмитрий Георгиевич Боррони
bitterness added: – I all life one, me was handed over in orphanage when I was seven years old. I was a burden for the parents. – She made a long pause and sorrowfully added. – However, I even did not know them.
Larisa with understanding looked at Alice. She though knew that it to live without parents, but her parents died in road accident, and Alisina somewhere lived. They threw the daughter and lived without her. They did not even regret that their daughter lives in a distance from a native home. They were afraid of it, were afraid of its return that she learns where they live and as it would not be awful, will revenge them. Alice was an unusual child. It had paranormal abilities, it was capable to inspire in other people that it was necessary for it. In other words, it had an ability to telekinesis. From where did it have this ability? Nobody knew.
− They gave you at the birth?
− Is not present, – Alice answered, – said to me that they threw me when I went to the first class. You represent, in seven years at me went monthly, – Alice admitted, – and I began to feel what nobody could feel.
− That it? – with obvious interest Larisa asked. – Did you change? How?
− I did not understand what happens to me, – Alice continued to speak. – But I began to understand that I can operate people.
− to Operate people? – Larisa did not understand. – It as?
Alice explained:
− I can inspire to whom you want that you want, and this person will carry out only my will. – She made a pause, then she added: – Scientists call this ability telekinesis.
− Telekinesis? – Larisa was surprised. – Do you at the age know such grown wise words as telekinesis?
− I know a lot of things, – Alice told and, having looked at the tutor Nina Mikhaelovna Lopukhova, told: – Here you see, Nina Mikhaelovna, sits on a bench, smokes. She does not care for anybody. She wants that there came the quiet time, and all of us would go to sleep, and she will go to the senior group to boys and will meet one of young men. She wants it, and it her, – she made a pause, then continued, – but it only desire, – Alice told. – Nina Mikhaelovna does not love this young man, he is necessary to her, only to derive pleasure.
Larisa took an interest.
− you what you mean?
Alice accurately and distinctly answered:
− Sex.
− Sex?
− Yes, – Alice confirmed. – She sleeps with him. And what? It by sight is no more than thirty five has some, and to it eighteen.
− From where you know it?
− I See, – Alice answered. – I just see it.
− you See? – Larisa was surprised. – But how?
− I told you that I not such as all. I just it see also all here. – Here she took an interest: – Do you want to be convinced of truthfulness of my words?
Larisa shrugged shoulders.
− I trust you, – she told. – But if it you want?.
− it is good, – Alice answered, – you look.
It translated the view of Nina Mikhaelovna Lopukhova. That also sat on a bench, smoked. Her thoughts were far from the children playing a row. They were somewhere away, she did not worry about anything, only dreamed. Dreamed, enjoying sweet taste of death. Suddenly she involuntarily looked at the children playing not the background and, having counted them, she understood that one girl is not enough. Whom did not it get? Alice? No, not it. Larisa? Too not. Then whom it did not get? To Vick. The girl from group in which there was also Larisa. Larisa saw how having quickly extinguished a cigarette, Lopukhova called to Vika and, looking quickly extensively, tried to find out it. She ran on the platform, asking children, they did not see Vika? Those stupidly looked at it and observed how Lopukhova runs here and there, trying to find for Vika. But its attempts were vain. She did not see it and did not see Alice sitting nearby, and with it and Larisa. She saw in Larisa Vick and, having run up to it, sat down on hunkers and, having taken it for shoulders, told.
− More so do not do, Vika. I for you got a fright to death. Do you know, that here this placed that if you got to it? What then? Larisa was surprised. It never before with anybody was confused. And it was impossible to confuse. They with Vika were absolutely different girls. Even it was impossible to call them twins. They were absolutely different two girls, not only on appearance, but also on character. Larisa was the quiet girl, and about such as Vika, told only one: tear off and throw. What did it mean? This is Vika did not understand. Though guessed that this expression to it clung because of its character which really was not a gift. Larisa a little bit was frightened, on her face surprise appeared. She made the glotatelny movement and told that she regrets for the incident, and the fact that it will not run away far from the playground any more. Then Nina Mikhaelovna took Larisa by hand and led it far away from this place, back on the playground.
The children watching this absurd laughed, but Lopukhova heard nothing. She conducted Larisa and, thinking that it − is Vika, told her the following:
− you behaved badly, and I want to adopt her. As I will be able to make it if you − the disobedient girl, and disobedient are not necessary to me.
Larisa looked back. She saw Alice observing all this situation from outside. It seemed that nobody saw it. Alice sat on a bench one and looked at Larisa leaving afar.
Next day Alice sent from orphanage in the specialist institution which studies similar cases of children's mentality. But I nevertheless am sure that instead of Alice they took absolutely other child, and Alice left. It disappeared from a look. Having left behind only reminiscence.
As for Larisa, she was adopted by Lopukhova. After Alice ceased to use on Lopukhova the force, she told Larisa:
− Vika was adopted, I would like that you became me if not the daughter, then younger sister.
− Why I?
− Larisa, – beginning to smoke a cigarette, with care there began Nina Mikhaelovna, – I cannot have children and therefore I work in orphanage. All of you are my children, but I would like to have the lawful daughter. – She made an inhaling, and continued. – To me you attracted with Vika here. Frankly speaking, I wanted to adopt both of you, but my financial position does not allow me to adopt more than one child. – She made a pause, made an inhaling and continued. – Yes, I am not ideal. Here you see, I smoke. But believe me, it will not prevent me to love you. – She made an inhaling again. – Think, you would like to live how you live now, or will go with me? At me the house with the site, clean air what else it is necessary for life?
Larisa agreed. But before she asked:
− Tell why the first Vika, but not I?
Nina Mikhaelovna told nothing distinct. She shrugged shoulders and told only one:
− I do not know. You to liking to me both, but why first Vika, but not you?. – Nina Mikhaelovna finished smoking a cigarette and, having extinguished it, told. – I ask, do not call me Nina Mikhaelovna.
− And how to me to call you?
− Just Nina, – Nina Mikhaelovna answered, – or just mother.
There passed time, Larisa grew up, blossomed, graduated from the institute and went to work as the junior trainee.
Somehow time she met the girlfriend on orphanage. This was Vika. She invited her to herself to the apartment, Larisa agreed. Yes, whatever you may say? Life cheerful piece. One gives everything, to others − nothing. And happened to Vika, she was lucky! She extended the lottery ticket and won. Now she was married to one businessman, gave birth to him to three daughters and lived happily. Driving about on the city on Peugeot, she did not work anywhere, went on expensive shops and salons, directing maraft and spending the money earned with the husband. The husband always took it with himself abroad, and there she had a rest, had a rest after receptions on which the husband took it. And what
