"CATS ARE KINDER THAN PEOPLE"
The bride left the house trembling with tears in her eyes. How would a two-month-old daughter-in-law return to her home, "what do people say?" How would she look into her father's eyes, when her mother had already passed away, and tears washed down her beautiful face like a tulip. He stood at the threshold of the street, shedding bitter tears...
If someone came out and entered the union, at least his sister-in-law would agree, but maybe his father-in-law would leave...
At that moment, the bride forgot everything, her existence, her way, her identity, everything...
Suddenly, something hot touched her leg, and she came to herself with a shudder. It looks like the darlings in this house are kittens.
These mute kittens, one white and yellow, one black, were the bride's pets in this house. When the master blurts his tongue saying that he is not happy with the bride, that he loves his first wife more than his life, When the mother-in-law finds fault with the bride's furniture and dowry, scolds her, when her father-in-law finds fault with what he has done, When her sister-in-law sneered at her disdainful words, her lone paws were these speechless kittens.
The bride held the kittens in her arms and cried without him. Once, when she cried out loud, she was severely beaten. After that, he used to cry silently.
Since birth, he has not had a hard day to endure saltiness. Her innocent childhood was spent caring for her sick mother in hospitals. Guldek's youth was spent looking at her stepmother's eyebrows and being beaten by her father. None of her sisters ever understood, helped, or supported her daughter-in-law.
How to help? He also looks at someone's mouth, that is, his sister's mother-in-law is no less than the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law, but she is a little more honest. Brother-in-law turned out to be a little more unkind. Maybe it's because they don't have a mother. Because mother binds, mother strengthens the love between us.
For the bride, the most delicious word for mother was the existence of "mother". It seemed to the daughter-in-law that the life of those who have a mother is always bright, as if bad days never happen in their lives.
When her heart ached like that, she wanted to get into the stone and disappear like the girl in the "Yoriltash" fairy tale. God is kind and does not burden his servant beyond what he can bear. God is kind, even in the most difficult times, he gives hope, hope, because despair is the devil.
After thinking about these thoughts, the bride who caught the kittens, kissed the kittens one by one, slowly put them on the ground and walked away, wiping her tears.
Now, when he goes home, he throws himself into his father's arms and cries. He entered his home where his childhood, innocence and innocence had passed, trembling like a deer. As soon as he entered, he felt alienated.
His brother was at home and he welcomed the bride, but his father was not at home. Since the brother was rushing out of the house, he asked how he was doing without looking at the bruised eyes and swollen face of his beloved liver:
- Now go into the house and sit down, dad said they will come and stay and left.
The bride lay awake for a long time. His whole body was in pain, and there was no one to report his condition. If only his mother-in-law were alive!...
At that moment, her neighbor Nargiz came to see the bride.
Daffodil! Nargiz is a very brave, smart, educated girl. In a word, it is enviable, but it has one fault. He divorced his only son and returned to his father's house.
- Oh my god, who put you in this situation, poor thing, what right do you have, who gave them this right? May his hands be broken, my God!
The bride wept bitterly, she wanted to express her pain, but something stuck in her throat, and words did not come out of her mouth, because she was not used to expressing her pain. Because even before he said it, he could feel that he was hurt.
- Oh poor thing, I'm helpless. Don't cry, leave them to God, may God punish them, you bastards, who raised a hand to a miracle like you. The bride was also crying...
- Here I am also divorced. What can I do, I divorced myself, I tried so hard to save my family. Finally I waved. Let the child grow up biting a stone in the hand of a brave mother rather than eating bread from the hand of a weak father.
It was dark like the bride's heart and it was late. In the evening, the father came and called the bride's aunts, uncles, and aunts.
- Let's not humiliate our livers like this, my sister's spirit will crack - said the uncle.
"Perhaps he did this to himself too," said my mother.
- First, it is necessary to clarify what caused the quarrel - said the aunt.
- There is a man who does not hit, every man hits, you have to be patient - said the stepmother.
"You shouldn't rush into everything," he added, annoyed that no one objected.
As they say, "Her body knows no more pain", the relatives decided to take the bride away tomorrow without saying anything.
- Bowing your head won't cut it. If he goes and asks for forgiveness, they will accept it - said Amma.
- If necessary, we will also ask, so that one family does not break, the throne will shake - said the aunt.
"Why does he have to beg for forgiveness after being beaten?" said the uncle, waving his hand and leaving.
"That's enough, don't teach me anything, the girl is mine, I know it myself," said the father.
In the morning, father and daughter set off. In the fairy tale, he interrupted the stepmother's conversation and grabbed her like a father who abandons his daughter in the forest to wild animals...
As a child, Kelinchak had heard many fairy tales. His mother used to tell him these stories during the long and dark nights he spent in hospitals. It seems that the events of the fairy tale are repeated in life in a slightly different style. A spark shone in the heart of the bride, in fairy tales everything ends well, everyone reaches the desired goal. None of the fairy tales told by her mother had a bad ending. So there are still good days ahead in his life...
- But, but - said the bride and flew away again.
- The heroes of fairy tales used to act, be brave, overcome all trials and then reach happiness...
- What about me, I can't say my wishes, what I want or don't want, I have left my life to fate and relatives, will I be able to reach bright days?
Kelinchak's life consisted of such unanswered questions, she felt very weak and weak. The only fault of the bride was this weakness. He could not take the responsibility of his life on his delicate shoulders.
They also reached the gallows where the bride was chased.
A lot of accusations, slanders and slanders were poured on the bride, as if they were white and the bride was black. In response, he only apologized and asked for forgiveness. Because the daughter-in-law was inculcated from her childhood with absurd beliefs such as "don't look adults in the eye" and "a girl should stand one step lower".
After long negotiations, permission was obtained to leave the bride in this house. Permission was given to be humiliated again, humiliated again, and beaten again.
And the father went out, relieved as if his burden had been lifted from his shoulders. As he left, he repeatedly told his daughter to be patient and resilient. No one welcomed the bride in this house. Except for kittens. The father-in-law frowned, the mother-in-law frowned, and the sister-in-law laughed, saying, "When you came, what were you doing when you left?"
But as soon as they saw the bride, the beautiful creatures of God, the kittens, ran to the bone...
"When cats are kinder than some people in human form"...
