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 adress to me and his name. His name is Vladimir.
It was not far from the clinic. I wrote down his adress and promised
to give him the umbrella the next day in the evening. On my home I
thanked the yuong 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
chanded my working clother 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 seveth 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 tolerated, I beared it. I thought he change for the better, that he
would the same he had been before. But nothing chanded. Once I was
beaten by him bitterly and left my house. He didn't came 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 foto in the frame where my mom and I were. I saad to him
that I would call a police, well he had gone. Forever. Now I am happy
that I didn't marry him. I don't want such relations once again.
Almost all Russian men drink alcohol alot that's why I don't want to
have any relations with them. I suppose you understand me, xxx. 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. Natalya has told to you "Hi". I have to
finish me letter. Thanks that you write me. With all my heart, your
Irina.
P.S. 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 Tanya door. He has again refused to take the
money. I have told, that I indignant. But nevertheless I could present
him two bottles of vodka. The carpenter has agreed to take only it.
