The Brain began to move, began to tear off all the photos, put them in garbage bags, she was vacuuming, mopping the floors, after a few seconds the room was shining, yes, it was empty, but the Brain had already given the command to the subconscious according to the list of literature.
The resuscitation of Valya's words helped Nina to recover. For the first time in months of acquaintance and friendship with Ilya, a thought appeared in her brain. Then the second, the third. It was an unusual feeling for Nina to move her Brain, but she liked the micro-girl with glasses inside her head too.
– Valentina, you're right! I need to call my mother immediately.
But then, Nina's eyes filled with tears.
– What about pregnancy? What am I going to tell Mom? She'll kick me out of the house! I am a disgrace to my family and school. I'd rather go and die under the fence.
Valya climbed onto a stool and took out a huge shoe box from under women's boots. There were so many medicines in it that it was easy to cure several villages in Africa at once. Pregnancy tests were here too. Nina looked questioningly at Valya, who nodded.
– Yes, mom's patients also feel bad sometimes, mom has different methods of treating mental and psychological diseases. The reaction to the test sometimes shows the essence hidden deep inside. Mom, of course, does not apply this technique to everyone, but it helped a couple of times.
Here's a jar of mayonnaise, take it and go to the toilet. Of course not here, bring the can of urine here, just be quiet, otherwise my mother, a psychologist, will cure you quickly.
Nina stared blankly at the test. One strip. What nonsense.
Valya was sitting with the face of a man who showed Columbus in which direction America was.
– Nina, you were cheated like the last sucker. You realize that you couldn't get pregnant and the test would instantly show a positive result. It's impossible. It should take time for the body to understand itself, to receive a signal about pregnancy. In general, you will learn more on anatomy. Listen, and you are this.... Ilya didn't rape you by any chance? Do you have any burning, itching, blood, stains on your underwear?
Nina shook her head in fright.
– Valyusha, no, I'm fine, physically, I mean. I think Ilya was squeamish, I smelled so much vomit.
And Valya thought to herself: "Your bastard Ilya was afraid to go to prison for rape and child molestation, this is a terrible sentence, article and term. It's not like you're trying to get money out of a stupid girl."
Nina reached into her backpack in search of her cherished phone.
– Do you have a charger? – she said in a barely audible voice, – because my phone is dead.
– Now. Wait a minute.
Valya silently retreated out the door.
The phone greeted the negligent hostess affably and showed the main screen. Nina dialed her mother's number several times.. At first there were long beeps, and then the phone stopped answering at all. The plastic tube insisted that the subscriber was out of reach.
– Maybe it's discharged? Nina said awkwardly, looking at Valya?
– Get a sister! Valya commanded.
– Uh, well, I don't seem to communicate with her…
– Nina, I'm going to punch you! Dial your sister immediately! Are you crazy? Do you even know what you've done?
– Natasha, hi, don't yell into the phone. What about Mom? I can't reach her.
The girl's tense face showed that the news were sad. She tried to justify herself, began to sob excitedly, Nina began a form of hysteria.
Valya did not hear the conversation, but she realized that something very terrible had happened. Nina hung up and said:
– Mom's in the hospital. She has a suspected heart attack.
Chapter 8
– Mom, Mom… My dear. Please, God, make Mom get better. Please, Lord, I will never leave her again, I will never worry, please, You are the Almighty. Please help Mom, please heal her. Please, please, please.
Nina muttered a prayer to herself and out loud, kissed her cross, washed her face with tears, while Valya in the front seat pointed out to the taxi driver where it was better to park near the hospital.
Natasha, wearing a white robe, was already waiting for the girls on the first floor. When Natasha saw Valya, she looked at her with such gratitude and love, with which she did not look at her own sister.
– Valentina, thank you for coming and… Natasha awkwardly thanked Valya, but her eyes were – instead of a thousand words, full of tears, pity and sadness.
Valya quickly put her hand on Natasha's shoulder:
– Natalie, what are you doing? Calm down! How is Tatiana Sergeevna? How is her health? What do the doctors say?
– They say that this is an acute coronary syndrome, a pre-infarction condition. It is necessary to undergo treatment now, then complete rest and rest. No nerves, you know. I came home from work in the evening, my mother is nervous, she says, go look for Nina. I tell her, Ma, she's sitting somewhere with her friends or she's stuck in a food court at the mall. After 22:00, the guards will expel them all, don't worry.
I took a shower, ate and just passed out, I was on my feet all day, I had no strength. At 5:00, my mother woke me up, pale as death herself, said that she walked around our neighborhood all night, Nina is nowhere to be found. The phone is not answering. I jumped up, called the police, but they didn't accept the application. They said, let the time pass, your teenager would show up, and they would not issue an application ahead of time in vain. I called the hospitals until 8:00, I didn't dare to go to the morgues, I just didn't raise my hand. Yes, you know I called to all the hospitals in Moscow.
We ran to school, we thought maybe she was scared, but she would come to school in the morning. Like nothing happened, and my mom and I were ashamed to make a row in front of classmates and teachers. I asked off at work, said I was on sick leave. We spent several lessons with my mother in the school yard, and from there she was taken away by ambulance. I was so scared for my mother that I was no longer up to the loss. I came to my senses in the evening when this fool dialed me herself.
I spent the whole day running for medicines, collecting bed linen, slippers, and a bathrobe for my mother. While I was running, our doctor said that the crisis was over. They applied on time, they didn't let lie down at home. And if they had gone home to "lie down", it is unknown what would have ended up. It's good that I called my mom's friends in dentistry, they immediately found a place in the hospital and a wonderful cardiologist.
Valya, I was so scared, I thought my mother was dying," – Natasha said through tears. All the stress, horror and fear that Natasha so courageously kept to herself all day broke through the dam of bitter tears. The girls were sitting hugging, on the first floor, two friends who had never been exes. It's just that life separated them for a while, but in difficult times it became clear that each of them remained a person, a good person.
– Natasha, dear, while Nina is with her mother, I'll tell you something… Don't be nervous. But we have to make a decision.
Valya told everything: from Nina's meeting on the floor to her arrival at the hospital.
Natasha was sitting neither alive nor dead. Fear for her sister, hatred for Ilya, the disclosure of the main motives of his interest in the family finished off Natasha. Clutching her mouth with her palm, she flew like a bullet to the toilet. Natasha came back wet and cold, her teeth were chattering, it seemed that the girl was dipping into the washbasin with her head, or maybe it was. Valya could not keep silent about Nina, who foolishly almost
