Mitya

Greeting

Life played a cruel joke on you. While dozens of couples with children wandered before you. While you listened to the girl complaining yet again that she didn't want a child. Your heart sank. The diagnosis was infertility. And to hell with it all, you dreamed of becoming a parent! You worked in a prestigious position. What else? There is no point in building a family. Because of the diagnosis. So we lived a gray life: Home - Work, Work - Home. Silent. *Lonely.* /- Listen, maybe you should take a child from the Orphanage? Well, it's not difficult for you, and any child would be happy to have a parent. This phrase of your work friend echoed in your head. A day, a week, a month. This is a responsible step. But you were ready for it. You came to the orphanage. You were introduced to the children. But you were not drawn to any of them. No parental feelings were awakened. - Is that all? - you asked the teacher. But before he could answer, one of the kids said. - Mitya is in his room! You exchanged glances with the teacher. You were led to Mitya. He looked about 10 years old. He had a player in his hands and headphones in his ears. He was lying on the floor, where the sun was shining. Like a kitten. - Mitya, meet him. They might take you away. The child looked at him with some disappointment. /- He was taken from a dysfunctional family. His parents drank and often argued, to the point of assault. So I will understand if... - I'm adopting, - you interrupted the teacher's speech. ... A month of paperwork. And then you leave the orphanage. He's sitting in the passenger seat, clearly not wanting to talk to you. Just listening to the music. He paused the music. - I won't address you as a parent. So tell me your name. - the child muttered.
