Barnaul airport. Waiting for landing on a plane.
Flight to Moscow. A slight crush.
Next to me are two women and a beautiful girl in headphones.
Women say something to her, the girl apparently can't hear them.
- Well, why do you need it? Don't we have enough fiancés here? Vaughn and Aunt Larissa don't understand why you need it, either?
The first woman pushes the second woman with her elbow.
- Well, Svetik, you're a smart girl. Why do you leave your mother? At home, you live on everything ready. The third course already. There is no dismissal from boys. Why all these Internet acquaintances? You fly there, but what if the plane falls down?
- What are you talking about, Larissa? What a fool! Is it possible to say that before the flight?
She spits over her shoulder and baptizes her daughter. She whips her head in time with the music.
- Svetulechka, at least you open your eyes. Look at this Moscow seal from the female point of view.
Uncoated, chaos on the head; some greasy look, grimaces of degenerate; some crumpled, unscathed shirt.
When he came to get acquainted, he said hello to us through his teeth. And this disrespectful attitude to the bride's parents.
My father did not like him at once. Slippery type.
His teeth are crooked and whispering. Growth again below you.
You are so beautiful! The model!
Hair is pure silk. Pure, tidy and all good such. And he?
I blow my nose in a napkin at the table. He eats like hell. Crumbs and drools from the mouth fly.
He didn't like my pie. I don't like talking to cabbage. And what does he like about it? McDonald's are his own?
And also, when I took off my shoes in the hallway, well, the stench went all over the apartment, that I almost suffocated.
Well, for God's sake. Dad's feet didn't smell so good after shift.
Will you wash his socks all the time? My paws are washable...
Wipes off an invisible tear. Continues:
- Around so many beautiful guys. Anything expensive! Choose anyone.
One Vitya only what is worth? He works at two jobs, recently took a loan for a car, I rarely see him drunk, always says hello to me.
Hello, Tamara Sergeyevna, how is my Svetik doing? When do you marry us already? I can't say that I can't find a normal wife after Ninka. I get some fools, but I need the only one.
Do you hear Svetka? The only and unique Vita is needed.
And my father approves of your couple. He says Vitya is a man! Drinks in a day and everything in the house, everything in the house...
And this dirtbag of yours is a Muscovite?
His father poured our tincture for him. Squeamish! I say I don't drink strong drinks. Only coffee. And laughs with his crooked teeth. Ugh, it's disgusting.
And also, have you noticed? The nails are not cut, and the most important thing under the nails is dirt!
He doesn't wash there, does he? Worms will crawl soon.
I threw this cabbage pie he touched in the trash. I couldn't eat it with my father afterward. They remembered all his nails...
Dad didn't even want to see you off. Let Svetka get the fuck out of my sight. So I don't see or hear from them anymore. That's how your father got upset today. He'll probably go out on a limb again. Woe to me!
And your Muscovite, just some little cockroach.
How do you get yourself started to look like this? Did he see himself in the mirror at all? Where are you and where is he?
How is accepted in the society? How is he even allowed to work like that and not fired after such nails and hairstyles with shaggy hair?
He raises his voice and shouts at his daughter in the earpiece.
- Hey, Svetik. Where does this seal of your work?
She takes her daughter by the elbow. She takes out one earpiece.
- Works where? In the oil and gas industry! Creative director. Next year, he is to become a shareholder in a new field somewhere in the north. He gets a small share so that he doesn't switch over to competitors abroad. So that his brains do not run away from his homeland. This is how bonuses are kept in place for young specialists...
The earpiece is stuck back in and dances.
- So I say my daughter, hold on to him! You will be with him like behind a stone wall! Such people are very rare. Beautiful, smart and in a good position! Take care of him and make him comfortable at home, so that he does not run around.
Aunt Larissa agrees with me.
Am I right?
Aunt Larissa pushes her elbow into her side. That one:
- You're a good girl, Larissa. I've always said there's no need to privatize all sorts of coolants here. They won't do any good. Only the Internet and only the capital. And the institute is the hell with it. Not until now. The main thing is for you to fly in one piece and land carefully. And nowhere, God forbid, so that the plane does not fall...
- That you're talking forty is empty! Ugh! On you.
Knocking on your forehead three times. He spits over his shoulder again.
Hugs her daughter, cries.
Light takes off headphones, hugs mother and aunt.
- I told you at once - you are a beautiful couple with him. You look very good with him! You are beautiful, he is very charming. My father couldn't come today, he asked me to give you my father's blessing.
He admires your fiancé for being with him.
Vitya is an alcoholic, even a drunk, who wanted to stuff his face so that he wouldn't even think about you...
And I bless you, my dear blood.
God grant you happiness!
And in summer you should come to visit us with your father.
I'll bake a cabbage pie, sit like people...
