I need to go, right now, to my grandparents.
An inner voice insistently repeats:
- Go, you are needed there, you need to be near!
I am in confusion, I did not have a phone at that time. Have you ever felt a loved one at a distance?
By the way, the world's first mobile phone weighed 1.15 kg, and the battery charge was enough for 20 minutes of conversation. But this is so, I remembered.
The inner voice is already screaming:
- Go !!!
I understand that it looks delusional, but you can't hesitate.
No money, no cars.
Night. I catch a car and arrange to be taken to a remote area of ​​the city. I don't remember what she said then, how she persuaded.
I'm in a daze.
We are coming. Private house, the gate is locked. It's not scary - my physical training is excellent. I easily jump over the fence and walk through the dark garden. Shadows are everywhere, I'm worried.
I'm knocking on the window.
Grandma doesn't open the door right away. Very surprised:
- Valya! How? Where? It's night!
- Bah, don't ask! I came with friends by car, everything is fine!
I walk in and see that my grandfather is very bad. He is lying on the bed. Another fit of coughing and dark blood pouring from the mouth.
- Grandpa, how can I help you? Ambulance? I'll find the phone, I'll call!
- Nothing is needed, - comes a shining intermittent whisper.
I sit and cry, noiselessly. I absorb every moment, every line of my own face, every gesture.
“Valya, go to sleep, what will you do?” Grandmother persistently sent me to sleep.
The next morning, grandfather fell into a coma. I ran to the local school, called all my relatives.
But no one else had time to talk to him.
Blessed memory, Nikolai Ivanovich ...
Do you feel that something terrible can happen to your loved ones soon?
