Samantha kissed Dennis goodbye and said:
– Today. You promised me.
– Yes, my dear, I know.
The door closed behind him, he was going down the stairs, and he was thinking how he should start a conversation with his wife.
He came up with this idea: “Look at you. You have completely neglected yourself. Your hair is not well-groomed, you always wear old and stretched things around the house. You do not develop in anything, only the house and TV series. I’m tired of it.”
“I will say so” – thought the man.
He was really tired of everything. All days became monotonous. And even on weekends it is impossible to rest normally, because relatives from the village always come to visit his wife. But no one comes to Samantha. And she meets me joyfully, not with problems, like my wife.
After thinking a bit, I decided not to treat my wife so cruelly. We lived together for seventeen years. We had two children. The son is already an adult, he is only interested in computers and games. He does not even have to explain. But the daughter…
He remembered his daughter Polly and smiled. Dennis loved his child very much. And he definitely did not want to hurt her.
He remembered how she first said “dad”, how she started walking, how he took her to the first grade, how he walked with her in the park. Memories came flooding back to Dennis. So he got home.
He went into the apartment and wanted to start a conversation right away, did not even take off his shoes.
The house was surprisingly quiet. Polly did not run to meet him. Well, good, maybe it was for the best.
He went to the kitchen. His wife was sitting in tears, his son was standing next to her. For some reason, Dennis immediately thought that his wife had somehow found out about his mistress. He was waiting for a quarrel. But the reason was quite different.
The woman stood up:
– Where were you? I’ve been calling you for half a day! I needed you so much!
Dennis nodded and asked his son what happened?
– Polly was crossing the road… – the woman continued. The man turned pale.
– Where is she?
– In the hospital… Doctors promise that everything will pass… But I’m so worried, – the wife cried.
– I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I forgot to turn on the phone. Just a moment. Let’s get ready and go to her. Dennis went to his wife and hugged her tightly.
What quarrel? What divorce? His family is here. His family is here. He doesn’t need anyone else.
It’s a pity he realized it under such circumstances.
Dennis has Samantha’s number blocked.
Have you ever had such situations that changed your decision at the last moment?
