Hi my xxx,
How are you? Today I've the big desire to write to you. Hope you
don't object?
I suppose I can tell you about my bad experience in relations. If you
are not interested in it you may stop reading the letter. I won't be
offended. I think I can tell you the story because you have become
very very close to me recently. I hope you have an idea of the
problem with alcohol in Russia and I suppose you understand why I
don't want to look for a husband in Russia. Let's begin since the
very first day of the acquaintance. I worked in the clinic as a
surgeon's assistant. I was going home after my work but it began
raining and I could not go because I had left my umbrella at home. It
was summer but never the less I didn't want to get wet and to take a
cold. I was standing under the roof of the building waiting till the
rain would stop. But the rain was not going to stop and I wanted to
go home in the rain. But a young man was going in my direction with
an umbrella. He saw that I couldn't go with an umbrella and offered
me to take his one. I asked him: "And what about you?" He said that
he would spend some time in the clinic and may be the rain would stop
soon. I asked how I would be able to return him the umbrella. He
said his address to me and his name. His name is Vladimir. It was
not far from the clinic. I wrote down his address and promised to
give him the umbrella the next day in the evening. On my home I
thanked the young man and asked the God to stop the rain. But it was
raining the whole night. I cursed myself that I had taken the
umbrella and that he was wet to the skin because of me. I didn't
sleep a wink at night. The next day in the clinic was so long for me.
I was looking forward to finishing my work to give the umbrella back
to Vladimir. I wanted to learn how he was. As soon as my working day
was over, I changed my working clothes and left my work. Vladimir was
standing at the door smiling. It turned out that he remembered the
time when my work was over. He came to meet me. I asked about his
health at once. He said that everything was all right. He didn't get
too wet because he was running home. Then we walked for a long time.
We talked a lot. My mum had died already and I was alone. He was the
dearest and the closest man in the world for me at that time. He saw
much of each other at time. But i didn't invite him my house I wanted
to check him. Once we were invited to a Birthday party of his friend.
I agreed to go to see his friends, as i wanted to know more about him.
Vladimir didn't drink even champagne. I thought it was because of me,
because I didn't drink as well. But his friends told me that Vladimir
really didn't drink alcohol. I liked Vladimir. I think so did he.
We became more than friends and he began to live in my house. First 2
months we were very happy, we were on the seventh heaven. But then he
got a very good job. He became a lawyer. He made much money. But he
began drinking alcohol. At first a little bit - then more and more.
He didn't sleep at home at night. When he was drunk he began beating
me. I thought he change for the better, that he would the same he had
been before. But nothing changed. Once I was beaten by him bitterly
and left my house. He didn't come back 9 days. Our friends told me
that they had seen Vladimir with other girls. I came to the
conclusion that it was enough to bear it. When he came back he even
wasn't sorry and didn't apologize. I don't think that he had
forgotten that he had beaten me. I didn't say a word in the evening.
I started the talk in the morning when he was sober. So I made him
leave my house forever. He was shouting, screaming and he even broke
a photo in the frame where my mom and I were. I said to him that I
would call a police, well he had gone. Forever. Now I am happy that
I didn't marry him. Don’t want such relations once again. Almost all
Russian men drink alcohol a lot that's why I don't want to have any
relations with them. I suppose you understand me. I'm sorry my
letter is too long. But I wanted to show you what I am feeling.
I am very happy that I got acquainted with you. I hope our
communication will never stop. Marina has told to you "Hi". I have
to finish me letter. Thanks that you write me.
With all my heart, your Natalya.
PS. By the way, I have overlooked to tell to you. Today carpenters
have repaired my roof. I am happy! It is very little necessary for
the lonely woman for happiness!!! (Smile) My roof was repaired by the
same carpenter who repaired Klava door.
