My parents showed up at my Kyiv apartment with a lawyer and said, «You just need to sign these transfer papers and let your sister move in!» I replied, «Let our lawyers meet in court!»
My neighbor swore she saw my daughter sneaking back home with other kids during school hours. So, I pretended to leave for work, hid under her bed… and within minutes, I heard footsteps that definitely didn’t belong to a little girl.
«You were supposed to meet Mom with flowers!» her husband exclaimed. «I suppose I was,» Vika agreed, and then she filed for property division. «Is it even normal to welcome my mother like that?!»
«Pack up your aprons and get out, Nadya!» Artyom slammed a gray cardboard box onto the stainless steel counter with a crash. A silicone whisk flew out of the box and clattered across the tiled floor of *Gvozdika* coffee shop. «What is this?» Nadya slowly shifted her gaze from the box to her husband.
“A man is the head of the family. Get used to obeying early on,” Arthur said, then leaned back in his chair as if he had just delivered the final word.
«It’s a done deal!» Katya shouted happily. «Alla left the key under the mat! But listen, Olena… I told her you’re a very serious girl. No partying, okay? I’ll text you the address.»
It was well past midnight. Olya, having finally settled the three children after a long, noisy evening, crept quietly into the dark kitchen. She boiled the kettle, poured herself a cup of peppermint tea, and simply collapsed into a chair, closing her eyes. The apartment was silent, but her husband, Ivan, was still not home. For the last few weeks, he had been working like a man possessed—constant meetings, late nights, business trips.
“So… let me get this straight. In my own house, I’m supposed to sleep on a deflated air mattress on the porch because you guys decided so in your little ‘cozy’ group chat?!”
«Polina, are you serious?! Absolutely no camp! They need to pack their bags and come here to help me in the garden!» My mother’s voice, categorical and unyielding, echoed through the phone as if she were already barking out orders.
“Mom! Dad! It’s us!” a bright, joyful voice rang out from the hallway. It was Vitya, Larisa and Stepan’s only son. Their boy—their little ray of sunshine, who was once just a playful bunny and a defenseless little kitten—had suddenly grown into a full-grown young man, broad-shouldered and tall. And today, for the first time, he had brought his girlfriend home to meet his parents.
