On the third anniversary of the relationship, Eric’s girlfriend gave him an unexpected gift – she cheated with his brother – Alex.
Around the same time, Eric met a soft toy seller when he was preparing a gift for his ex-fiancée. The new beloved of the guy was an ordinary village girl – Polly. Eric fell head over heels in love with her simplicity and sincerity.
Polly was distinguished by rare human qualities for our age. Six months later Eric proposed to her and took her to meet his parents.
– Who have you brought into the house? – asked Eric’s mother, moving away from Polly, “how is she better than Eva?
– Mom, she cheated on me with Alex, – Eric answered, – don’t you understand or don’t you want to understand?
Eric’s mother was modestly silent about Eva’s rich father. What could Polly give them but bad country manners?
The son was adamant. Eric and Polly got married. The guy had his own 3-room apartment. The couple lived there together.
One day Eric decided to take things into her own hands. Under the pretext of repairs, she moved to Eric for a while. The son did not like this trick of his mother – he knew what her attitude to Polly was, but not to kick his mother out?
Eric’s mother was messing around the house to make Polly mad and pretend to be a victim. She threw colored clothes to white ones, walked in dirty street shoes on the freshly mopped floor. Polly did not fall for her mother-in-law’s provocations.
– What have I done to you that you don’t like me so much?” the girl asked.
– You are a peasant, not equal to my son. I know how you, rural, horns to men, – mother-in-law said a lot of nasty things to Polly, but Eric managed to hear some fragments of their conversation.
The boy kicked his mother out of the house. But Eric’s mother’s attempts to destroy her daughter-in-law did not end there.
– Is everything ready? – the mother asked her son Alex on the phone.
– As always, – he answered and rang the doorbell, turning off the phone.
Polly opened the door. Eric was at work. Polly had liked Alex since the wedding. She was unavailable, and with his money Alex never met unavailable.
– I have to meet Eric. He’ll be here soon, will you make me some tea?” he asked, after giving Polly a cynical look.
– Yes, come in. The tea was ready.
– Polly, come and join us, it’s boring having tea alone,’ Alex said.
– Yes, let me just get the sugar, – said Polly, and the sugar, as luck would have it, was on the farthest shelf. While the girl was looking for sugar, Alex poured something from a small bubble into her cup.
And the rest, you can imagine for yourself. Polly passed out in 10 minutes, in another 5 minutes she was lying on her bed without any clothes on, and Alex was next to her.
The mother called Eric and said that the neighbors told her that some man came to their house. Eric had a break at work. He went straight home.
Polly was just trying to regain consciousness, but she didn’t understand anything, just watched with her mouth open as Eric pushed her brother against the wall, kicked him out of the house, and then threw a suitcase towards Polly.
After regaining consciousness, Polly quietly packed up and drove to the village. She was so offended that Eric did not believe her, did not trust her.
After that, Polly and Eric never crossed paths again. Two years later Polly opened her own restaurant, which is still very popular in the city, and a year later she bought her own small but cozy apartment.
Eric went into business with his head.
However, they both forgot about their personal lives and devoted all their time to business.
