AUNT "DASHA"
THE STORY
.
You Cyril? Pass(take place), pass(take place). Florets give me, I them at once in vodichku shall put … What roses magnificent! For a long time such in hands did not hold. No, I not Katin mum. I the neigbour, aunt Dasha. At them the pie has not turned out, so they have run behind a pie. And behind bread. Now will be. Me have left to an ear to guard, She is just cooked longer. Yes, a dinner Natasha (Katin's mum) zateyala imperial. Here, see, snack already cost(stand): here to you and olive, and a pie from a liver, and sandwiches with caviar. If you would not be declared for ten minutes earlier … Well, anything, anything, they now will be. Will come, and you already here: a pleasant surprise. As to hesitate him there is nothing. At them always such cleanliness, and not just before a smart dinner. Yes you do not hesitate, sit down in this armchair. Of me to hesitate there is nothing. I twenty years know Natasha, since She has moved to this house; Katenka on my eyes has grown. And what for you send(have come) with a bouquet and at a tie, too I know.
Well here, It already reddens. Yes that here such? You know, I do not know, you the person young, can, you somehow differently look, and I consider(count): earlier all was more correct. And courtship, yes! And shows! It laughs already(is already dared). Shows. And a betrothal. Here my native babka on courtship has in marriage left. Also has lived half a century of a shower in soul. And I here on the big love and … alas. So if you send(have come) to ask, so to say, from Natasha Katinoj a hand, I only approve it. Well, yes, yes, to not ask, certainly, you have solved all, but all the same. Well done Well, be dared, laugh(laugh, laugh) at health. Also give the God to you with Katenkoj advice(council) yes love.
Here I, an old silly woman, and have started up tear. You know, Cyril, me Katya road as the native daughter. And Natasha to me – almost as the sister. As I for it experienced! In fact when Igor – her husband – in psychiatric have taken away! – She hardly mind(wit) has not got under way. Doctors have told: we cannot guarantee anything. It is schizophrenia, and with such diagnosis Bekhterev the forecast could not give. Well, Igor, Katin the father … And you did not know? Knew only, what has died? It Was hung up during the next remission. Oh, what it I, a silly woman … to Me so am awkward … I to you spoke nothing, all right? Believe, I did not know, that Katya from you has hidden it. Generally about her father everyone know, and that to tell, that here shameful? This(thus) such to mountain, that with everyone can happen., at Eremeevykh, from 18-th apartment, such trouble – the son have taken away with the diagnosis « an alcoholic psychosis ». And like also did not drink strongly. In newspapers in general write, that at us everyone the third in treatment requires, with shift, means. So you on account(invoice) Katinogo of the father do not take to heart. In fact him have taken away, have then let out(have then released), It even worked any time, the truth, already in other place. Natasha explained to me (and doctors explained to it), that it is such soft form of schizophrenia, that at correct treatment of the patient can live long years and is absolutely not dangerous to associates. And by right of succession practically it is not transferred(transmitted). Well there ten percent(interests) of the chances, fifteen … Why it was hung up? Who knows him. The sick person, you understand. Katenke only seven years was. She from school has come, I hear, call at the next door, then a door has slapped, I have thought, that the father to it has opened, and It has not closed a door, specially, should be, that would not break out. Katenka has there and then taken off from an apartment and up to what the shock was at the child, does not call to me at doors, and knocks, hands, legs! I open: She - as mel, eyes in half-persons(half-faces) … « Aunt Dasha! There the folder hangs! » Horror! At me till now this shout in ears costs! « At him the face dark blue! » They, udavlenniki, become blue usually, from an asthma … and language outside. Tkhu, I hardly itself in a faint have not fallen. Has hardly crawled to phone – fast to cause. So, it, can, and it is natural, that Katya did not speak anything to you. For it it is too heavy memoirs. Natasha spoke, it till now nightmares muchayut, without veronala sometimes cannot fall asleep, and in fact absolutely young little girl, 22 years!
And that Natasha has gone through, I and do not speak. She has turned grey in one year. And that to tell: in September the husband was hung up, and in December the brother has died. In thirty three years. A cirrhosis of a liver. Yes, certainly, saws strong, on months did not leave hard drinking. But that in 33 years! E what there now to smear … the Medicine, I to you shall tell, at us useless. Both earlier was, and now. A simple cold cannot cure. A fungus for them tragedy! How many Katya muchilas with this fungus, could not put on the barefoot person, to a heat forty-degree in suede shoes went! Now as though, at last, polegchalo, and that thank God. And that at us are able to not treat, and to heal. The mother-in-law my was(former) three years ago here so have healed, have finished to last stage. A stomach ulcer, a stomach ulcer! In own rentgene could not understand, potboilers … And what fine woman was, the deserved methodologist, hero Sotstruda …
Something Katya with Natasha are late. Oh, here tell to me, Cyril, why so in a life: the better the person, the is more at him burning? Any rubbish prospers, and on the good person a trouble behind a trouble. To take even Katenku: with a kind She cheerful, cheerful, and how many has already gone through, bednyazhka. And I so am glad, that, at last, to it there was a normal guy! Here, again to crying. Now it is such rarity, Kiryusha, oh, what rarity! About the first it, the vermin of this, heard? Heard, means, and to speak there is nothing. Has not carried to the little girl, largly has not carried. Also know, there were still mean people, have started to speak: here supposedly at you better luck next time, and with all others will be. To speak it to the little girl of sixteen years, the swine what! But I for Katenku always mountain stood. I to all gossips stopped up mouthes. And when She with Rustamom this has communicated, and when this reptile, SHevelkova from the sixth entrance, something has started to hiss about « the Caucasian laying », I it so otbrila – will not believe, Cyril, till now in a court yard to leave is afraid! I speak it: « You, I speak, how call? SHevelkova or Goebbels? It is not a shame to you, an old silly woman?! Our people has won fascism, and you that bear(carry)? There are no bad people! And let It though ten times chechen, means nothing it! The main thing – that the person was good! » The rights I or not, Cyril? I to you shall tell frankly: I do not accept nationalism! Me so brought up, and all my generation: all people are equal, all people brothers! It then, at ïå-ðå-build-êå, natsionalizmy everyones have gone(send)... There was no this earlier, swear to you! At me the best girlfriends were - Rose KHalidova, tatarka Kazan, and Ruf Katsman, evrejka. When Ruf leaved, I three days roared. She till now writes letters to me from Haifa, it is city there such, resort, calls to stay for a while, and I … That? What Rustam? In the market traded. I do not know, than. And how many She there with him met, any half a year, then It the Chechen Republic has left for the, and thank God. No, I speak, I am a person without national prejudices, but here this concrete person has appeared not absolutely good, only and only. With strangenesses there was a comrade. Has written Katenke — from the Chechen Republic already – korotenkoe the letter, and in the end such phrase: « Farewell. Here we shall not meet any more. We shall meet in gardens of the Allah ». Well, unless the normal person begins such to write? From such everything to expect it is possible.
And that to tell, where Katya could learn to understand men? The native father is not present since seven years, Natashiny boyfriends casual – to that they could learn it? And last and at all fruit has appeared: Katenka (to it years 13 was) somehow I look, costs in the evening on a ladder platform at a window and cries. I was surprised, I speak, what such? And She only « the Uncle of Roofing felt, the uncle of Roofing felt » – also sobs. I have taken it in a turn(turnover), I speak: « And well tell! » … about, call already. I go, I go! (cannot open, it is visible, hands are borrowed(occupied)).
… And at us visitors! ka-àòÿ, that you of the young man force to suffer and tomitsya! Badly! Yes there is, nothing, I joke, we here it is lovely so had a talk. Natashas, you only look, what beautiful pair! That you, I here have started up tear. Well, I leave, no, no, this business family, here strangers to what, give only Katenku I shall kiss, have waited, at last! And, as they say, advice(council) to you yes love. I have switched off Wuhu, She available.
