He paced the hospital corridor, awaiting fates verdict, when the doors swung open The dog pulled her out of the coma.
The Leskov family had long been unlucky. For years, they couldnt conceive. Olga Sergeevna, poor thing, tried everythingdozens of clinics, monasteries, pilgrimages, even a trip to Jerusalem. Her husband, Pyotr, stood by her like a true knight, accompanying her everywhere, but their efforts were in vain.
Then they decided to become parents to other children. Ready to adopt, they packed for a trip to a neighboring region where an orphanage stood, hoping to take in two girls. But as they prepared, something unexpected happenedOlga suddenly retched from the smell of the cutlets shed just packed.
The trip was postponed. Instead, they went to the clinic, where a real surprise awaitedthe doctor announced Olga was sixteen weeks pregnant! Pyotr nearly jumped for joy, overwhelmed by the news. He knocked over brochures in the waiting room like scattering roses.
Life changed dramatically. Pyotr became obsessive about Olgas health, scouring supermarkets for organic food.
Weeks later, another joyan ultrasound revealed twins! The pregnancy was tough, given her age, and Olga spent most of it bedridden. But in the end, two beautiful girls arrivedKatya and Anya, named after their grandmothers.
The sisters grew up healthy and bright, each unique. Katya, energetic and magnetic, excelled in swimming. Her fiancé, Andrei, won her heart with sincerity. Anya, quieter, loved books, nature, and cooking. Her greatest passion was animals, especially her huge Alabai, Grom, her loyal companion.
Grom was gentle despite his size, greeting everyone cheerfully, especially Andrei.
But today was different. Katya and Andrei had filed for marriage, planning their future. With Anya, they drove to a restaurant to discuss the wedding menu. Grom, usually calm, suddenly lunged at the car’s tires, barking frantically. Pyotr tried to pull him away.
Katya teased, “Youve spoiled him! He wont leave your side!”
Anya stayed silent, uneasy. The car pulled away as Grom howleda sound so mournful it seemed to carry tears.
Andrei drove confidently, the speedometer nearing 100. As they took a sharp turn, a logging truck swerved uncontrollably, crashing into them. The sedan crumpled like foil.
Rescuers arrived to black body bags and wreckage. Anya, barely alive, was rushed to the hospital but never woke.
The funeral replaced the wedding. Grief paralyzed everyone.
Anya lay comatose, machines keeping her alive. Only Dr. Vitaly Ozerov refused to give up. Hed fallen for her at first sighthis Sleeping Beauty.
A costly surgery failed. Pyotr sold everything, but hope faded. As they prepared to disconnect her, Vitaly made one last plea.
Then, a miracleAnya opened her eyes. Grom, ecstatic, leaped beside her.
She whispered, “Grom I heard you Hi”
Monitors flickered to life. Vitaly stood stunned.
Anya recovered. Grom regained his vigor. Vitaly, now smitten, brought her food and flowers.
Tasting his salad, she grinned, “You should open a restaurant! Or maybe Im the better cook?”
Laughing, he replied, “Maybe. But you love me anyway.”
He proposed. She said yes.
As they kissed, Grom wedged between them, showering them with slobbery affection.
