Her body seemed to have broken, as if a mechanism had suddenly stopped working. Like a fragile ship on the border between two worlds: water and air. Breathless, timeless, only a pain that burns in memory, even in her own name. In the fog of consciousness, where dreams intertwine with reality, Alla suddenly understands: she is on the brink of life and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From somewhere nearby, a voice is heard, muffled, blurred, as if through water. The voice of her husband, Kolya, filters through the noise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u201cAllochka\u2026 wait\u2026 don\u2019t go\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The words spread out as if the boundaries of the world had blurred. Light falls from above; cold lamps flash brightly. Strange hands do something quickly and surely. Someone commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pressure! Heart! Quick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This professional, slightly hurried voice evokes both fear and a barely perceptible hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How she just wants to close her eyes, tune out everything, not hear either the doctors’ orders or Kolya’s broken whisper. Inside, a question arises: “Is it worth the fight?” And the answer: a tremor of fear, strangely reminiscent of fatigue. Deep within her, vague images of the past flicker, sounds of distant cities, the warm voice of a loved one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Alla can’t scream, sigh, or cry; consciousness fades again. Another wave comes, and everything becomes easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She returns to a fragmented reality: flashes of light, a thick silence, rough sheets. Alla barely understands where she is: at times she feels as if she’s floating in water, and suddenly she’s in a hospital ward. The monitors click uniformly; on the other side of the window, a gray morning slowly dawns. She seems to move between worlds, trying to grasp brief moments of the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, someone is near. A girl, tiny and fragile as a stalk. Probably about six years old. She moves clumsily, her clear eyes staring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s Katya. Are you sleeping or dead?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No\u2026 I’m not dead,” Alla says with difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Fine,” the girl sighs, relieved. “Because it’s so boring here.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In those childish words, there is suddenly a warmth, the kind only strong children have. Katya talks about kindergarten, where everyone is mean, about a mother who is never there for her, and about a grandmother who bakes pancakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alla listens as if from afar. Inside her, a familiar pain awakens: the longing for her own little girl, one worth fighting for. But the children never came, and now there is only emptiness and bitterness for what was lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katya takes her hand and whispers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’ll come tomorrow. But don’t die, okay?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The girl disappears behind the door, dissolving into the light. Alla returns to the darkness, but now with a new sensation: a cautious, almost unfamiliar anticipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another return, clearer. Warmth, new smells, the air becomes a little lighter. The room has changed: by the window, a stranger. He approaches, leaving behind a trail of freshness and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Are you awake yet? Excellent, Alla. I’m your family doctor, Yuri Anatolyevich.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His voice is gentle, but his gaze is professional, without excessive emotion, but also without cruelty. Alla realizes: she’s alive. But for how long? Her whole body hurts so much that the thought terrifies her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Your condition is serious, but we’re seeing improvements. You’re overcoming it. If you keep fighting, everything will be fine,” he says, like a son speaking to his mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alla tries to ask about Kolya. Was he nearby? Yuri hesitates, but then says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Now it’s important to take care of yourself. Sometimes men get lost in these situations. He left a long time ago.” And, to be honest, she wasn’t interested in your condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her head is pounding: resentment and pain mixed with a new, still faint desire to endure. The doctor takes her hand, firm and confident:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If you want to live, you can overcome any pain. I will help you. But the decision is yours alone. Decide why you want to get up.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a moment, she wants to return to the darkness. Alla closes her eyes: no strength, no faith, only longing and the desire to forget everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Shall we continue?” Yuri asks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Yes,” she answers almost in a whisper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she wakes, Alla feels as if she’s in another world. The room has become quieter, the light dimmer, the pain fading. Morning brings not only light, but a strange, gentle hope. She turns her head and sees Katya. She’s there again: sitting by the window, tracing invisible circles on the glass with her finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou came\u2026\u201d Alla whispers, trying not to disturb the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course. Now I’ll come see you every day until you’re fully recovered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A silence hangs between them, not heavy, but light as a sigh. Then Katya asks timidly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo you have children of your own?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alla remains silent for a long moment before answering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo\u2026 It didn’t work out. And where is your mom?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katya lowers her gaze:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe left me. Alive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
