The holy friendship is given to us by destiny!
Two Sveta and Angela lived in the same courtyard from the age of six. Together they grew up, simultaneously fell in love, divided into three children's joys first, and then adults sorrow. And they remained best friends for life.
Svetlana was always fond of mathematics. Until now, friends are calling and asking that she help solve their child's problem. Svetlana the second (my mother) preferred biology. The story of how during the pregnancy, my mother puzzled over the genetic formulas in the hope of finding out the color of the eyes and hair of the unborn child (that is mine), became a family legend. And the third girlfriend, Angela, was very punctual and serious. Imagine the surprise when my friends found out that Angela was getting divorced. After all, this could happen to anyone, but not with her. But fate had other plans.
Three friends were still inseparable. Having become mothers, they often left their children with grandmothers and went together to celebrate, for example, the New Year. This happened in that fateful year ...
Sometimes one minute everything changes very cool
Cold winter. Snowstorm. New Year's fuss. You walk down the street, and under the feet creaks and pearlescent pearls sparkle. You look around - and around the real snow kingdom! Houses, trees, monuments and the main tree of the city are dressed in snow-white lace silk. Beauty! From the frost, the cheeks turn pink even among the hardened, but all the same people in the streets are full. Some guy is in a hurry for the popular "Soviet". But Aunt Masha ran for the peas in the store. Yeah, without the traditional New Year's dish - salad olivier - no one will sit at the table.
In three different apartments in one courtyard were preparing for the New Year and three friends. Of course, each of them wore the most beautiful outfit, made an interesting hairstyle and made up somehow special eyes and lips. This time they celebrated the holiday separately, but agreed exactly at one in the morning to meet in the square near the Christmas tree. Svetlana and Angela came on time, and my mother, as usual, was delayed.
The first fifteen minutes of the girl joked over the ability of Svetka to be late. The next thirty already with resentment recalled all the cases when they were waiting for her. Then they became "forever" angry!
Around so many young people - a walk in full swing. People dance, shoot crackers, pour out glasses of champagne and drink very quickly, so that it does not have time to form an ice crust. And someone even sang: "Five minutes, five minutes - it's a lot or a little ..." Svetlana and Angela began to freeze, but my mother was not there. The seconds seemed insanely long.
The girls went to the only round-the-clock kiosk. They wanted to buy something from food and go where their eyes look. Did not work out. It turns out that the song is sung in the right way, and in five minutes "you can start all over again."
Incredibly, Igor and Valera were also waiting for friends who did not come. Nothing brings together like a common "grief". After some five minutes, the guys and girls were already familiar, and stepped on New Year's Eve together. They laughed, made wishes, congratulated each other and dreamed. Snowflakes melted in the eyelashes, the moon lit up happy smiles. Two guys and two girls walked in unison to their future. And near the Christmas tree someone very very timely tightened such familiar motive: "Sometimes one minute everything changes very cool - everything changes once and for all!"
Ordinary miracle
Of course, my mom was forgiven. If it were not for her harmful (and sometimes, as you can see, very useful) habit of being late, their fates could have developed quite differently.
And so Valera began to meet with Sveta. And even for her, he moved to Kremenchuk. Soon, friends were shouting Valery and Svetlana "Bitter!", And their witness Igor (the same) danced not with an honorary witness, but with Angela. It was on the day of the wedding of friends that the lovers felt a special affinity, and a year later they got married. Igor was crazy about Angela. The young man fell in love with Angela's daughter as her own. And Nastenka, like a child, sincerely and quickly began to call him dad.
Magic Ficus
A stupid delay for the New Year gave love to two couples, dividing life into "before" and "after", "without" and "c". This is a real miracle! But her friends wanted one more, the most banal miracle that happens to a thousand women! They dreamed of children. Sveta dreamed of the first-born, Angela - the second child from her beloved husband. Did not work.
Years passed. Five. Seven. Girlfriends did not lose hope. Pills. Analyzes. And every New Year under the battle of chimes - a cherished desire for such a long-awaited child. But these desires for some reason did not come true.
But if you think that the New Year's stories end just like that, you're very wrong! We must believe in miracles! And our heroines know this very well.
One day, Angela vacuumed the carpet and decided to walk around the ficus, for which the neighbor asked to look after her. The vacuum cleaner accidentally tightened and "ate" one sheet. Of course, I'm sorry, but there's nothing to be done. Angela only remembered that the ficus is a flower of fertility, which leads the women who dream of a child. She and her husband laughed and forgot about this incident. Imagine their surprise when in a week Angela found out about her pregnancy! Then the whole family remembered the magic flower and even thanked him! After all, it took 8 years of expectations.
And Angela changed her mind about returning the flower to her neighbor . She knew the man he needed more. And although at first her friend Svetlana was skeptical of the new tenant, she still admitted him to her house. I looked after and loved. Ficus was lost, but Sveta continued to diligently water it. The reward did not come immediately. Only a few years later, Sveta, who already did not dream of becoming a mother, learned that she was pregnant.
Now Angela's son goes to school. Svetlana gave birth to one boy first, and a couple of years later - the second. And my mother still continues to be late. I sit by the window and look at the snow patterns that winter gave me. I am sure that next year will be special! Indeed, exactly at twelve I make my cherished wish.
In three different apartments in one yard, three friends were preparing for the New Year. This time they celebrated the holiday separately, but agreed exactly at one in the morning to meet in the square near the Christmas tree. Svetlana and Angela came on time, and my mother, as usual, was delayed.
