My dear xxxxxx, I do not know where to begin, I am in a horrible shock
right now after what happened. I thought I tell you this, because you
are the only person I can share everything with and you were a great
support for me since the day we have met. Honey, my love xxxxxx,
yesterday I returned home just to find my flat burned out! Everything
is completely in ruins and the flat is a total mess. I never thought
about fire. As I drove to my house - I saw fire brigade's truck
standing, and I felt deadly freeze all over my body. I went pale
breaking through the standing crown of watchers and straight to my
floor - the foamy water was running down the staircase and one of the
firefighters stopped me and said that it still might be dangerous to
come up. I asked him which flat was it and got the dreadful reply - it
was mine! I felt weak in my legs and slowly started to slide down the
wall I leaned on to. Luckily I was grabbed by the firefighters and
they gave me some strong liquid to sniff that suddenly brought me
back. I asked how bad were the damages- and they told me that it is
still early to estimate, because there still was a threat and the
emergency situation was not called off. The only thing I was left to
do is just go down and wait. After they cleared the property and
evacuated the fire - I was allowed in. It was like a real nightmare -
water everywhere, furniture some burned out, some just touched,
everything was turned upside down. I went hysterical and it took me
about 10-15 minutes to calm down. They even called for the medical
assistant. I was given the medication but still felt shocked.
Everything was wrecked! The firefighters wrote a report, and asked me
if I had a place to stay for the night - I could only think of one
place to go to - my friend. She lives not far from me in a hired flat
and she hospitably agreed to help me in this situation to give me a
place to stay. The firefighters sealed the flat, because they could
not find the reason that caused the fire and it required the police
investigation and also the insurance specialists to evaluate the
damages. I walked to my friend, I decided to take a walk there,
because I needed some time to ponder what could start the fire and
what to do next. I spend the night over my friends house and in the
morning went to work as usual, I told my director that I need a day
off, because of what happened and he generously signed it. I was at
the insurance company and they assured me that, when I signed for a
property loan, in the contract there was a compulsory insurance
included. The insurance I signed for was a good bargain, because it
covered the valuables inside the flat, but only the ones I have
receipts proving the fact of them being bought by me, and luckily I
didn't keep them at my flat - they are at my parent's house. The
insurance officer told me that I will get 80 percent of all the
damages in recovery costs. That calmed me down a little bit. Still I
was like in a cloud of smoke. My dear xxxxxx, I went back to work to
write you this letter. All this time I could think only about you
straight. I do not want to tell my parents, because my father have a
weak heart and it is highly unrecompensed for him to worry. Honey, my
sweet xxxxxx, I am staying at my friends for 2-3 days, because I cause
her great inconvenience as she lives in a very small room of a rented
flat and I do not want to put her in trouble with her landlord. My
flat will be sealed for at least a month, so I was told. My dear xxxxxx,
I have nobody else to ask for help, you are the only person I can
trust and rely on. You became very close to me and several times you
wrote that you will always help and support me. In any other case I
would never ask you, it is not in my life principles, because I was
brought up this way by my parents. They always were telling me that I
need to rely only on myself and nobody else. So I followed this way up
until now, because I am in a no way out situation right now. I can not
ask my parents for help, because firstly they will start to worry and
I do not want nothing to happen to them, because I will not survive
otherwise, secondly they are not rich and also live off the small
salaries, I normally help them with money. My love, I am calling for
your understanding, I would like to ask for your help. I would need to
move out from my friend and find a room for myself for about 1 month,
till everything is sorted. Honey, please tell me if you could help me,
I count only on you, my dear xxxxxx! Otherwise I do not know what am I
going to do... I am waiting for you answer dear. All the time thinking
about you, because it would make my life much easier if I have a
strong man's shoulder right now. The man that I could just cry to and
the one that would kiss me and comfort. The man that is you, my dear
xxxxxx!
I love you,
Kisses Ekaterina
