As soon as the door closed, Karina threw herself into Sokov's arms, hugged his waist tightly, and said with a cry: "Misha, I finally waited for you, I thought you wouldn't
Say goodbye, because you don't plan to pay attention to me anymore." Sokov thought of the last time he left Vladimir. Because of the sudden incident, he didn't have time to say goodbye to Karina in person, which gave her a bad association.
It was inevitable. He stroked Karina's
Hair, said softly: "Karina, I'm so sorry. Last time something happened suddenly, I didn't have time to say goodbye to you in person, so I left." "After you returned to Moscow, I went to find you." Karina
Said: "But General Yakov only told me that you were not in Moscow and where exactly you went, but he refused to tell me, which made me stay
Worried about you."
"I went to Berlin." Sokov said: "Because this mission must be kept secret, Yakov cannot tell you my whereabouts."
After hearing Sokov say that he went to Berlin, Karina looked up at Sokov and asked in surprise: "When did you go to Berlin?" When Sokov told the specific time when he went to Berlin.
, Karina broke away from Sokov's arms, took two steps back, and murmured: "My father also went to Berlin at that time, but unfortunately, the passenger he took
When the train he was riding was in Poland, he was attacked by gangs. Unfortunately, he was hit by a stray bullet and died of serious injuries." Karina's words reminded Sokov of what Yakov mentioned when he called him, and
The official from Moscow who was in the same car with him was Karina’s father. After the train was attacked by gangs that day, only
Several people died and more than thirty people were injured. However, Karina's father unfortunately appeared on the death list. "Yes, Karina, I was on that train at that time." Sokov said softly.
Sighing, he told Karina in detail what happened that day: "It's a pity that I didn't know that your father was also in the car, otherwise
I will definitely let him stay with me, and maybe he can save his life."
"Misha, how did you get here?" Karina raised her hand and wiped her face. After wiping away her tears, she said, "It's the New Year, and all railway and highway traffic has stopped."
"No wonder I didn't see any vehicles on the way here. It turned out that the traffic was suspended."
"What, you drove here?" Karina said in surprise: "Then sit down and rest for a while, and I will help you boil water and make tea."
After Sokov sat down, he looked at the busy Karina and asked, "Why didn't you go to your colleague's house to pay New Year greetings in the past two days?"
Karina paused for a moment. After a while, she tried her best to put a smile on her face and said, "I feel a little tired and don't want to move around, so I'll stay at home and sleep."
"Have you been working too hard recently?" When Karina said she felt tired, Sokov quickly asked with concern: "You should pay more attention to your body and don't get exhausted."
"Yes, I understand." Karina put the kettle filled with water on the stove, and then asked Sokov: "Misha, will you go back to Berlin?" "I won't.
At least for a few years, I will not go to Berlin again." Sokov replied: "In the next few years, I may stay in Moscow. As for what kind of work I will do, I still need to follow the instructions.
Arrangements by superiors." Karina came to sit across from Sokov and said with a smile: "Misha, even if your superiors don't arrange work for you, it doesn't matter. You can stay at home and write a book. Maybe one day
You will become as great as Gorky
A great writer."
"My writing is just a temporary interest. I will never become a great writer like Gorky."
While the two were talking, Karina's facial muscles suddenly became distorted, as if she was in great pain.
Just when Sokov wanted to ask, he saw Karina standing up suddenly, covering her mouth and rushing to the bathroom. Soon, the sound of violent vomiting came from the bathroom.
Hearing the sound coming from the bathroom, Sokov was dumbfounded. Could it be that Karina had morning sickness? Although he and Karina had not known each other for a long time, Sokov knew very well that Karina did not have a boyfriend.
, and rarely interacts with the opposite sex. If she is really pregnant, it means that the child in her belly is pregnant.
The son is his own.
The sudden appearance made Sokov confused. He didn't know how to face Karina next. It took a full quarter of an hour before Karina walked out of the bathroom, looking even more haggard. She
He returned to his seat and sat down, and said apologetically to Sokov: "Misha, I'm really sorry, I might
I caught a cold and feel a little nauseous."
"Karina, don't hide it from me. I know everything." Sokov held Karina's hand and asked with concern: "How long has it been?"
"Misha, why can't I understand what you are saying?" Karina was obviously unwilling to admit the matter and wanted to change the subject.
"Karina, don't forget, I am also about to be a father. Don't I know how a woman reacts to pregnancy?"
Karina heard what Sokov said, lowered her head, blushed and said: "More than a month."
"How many people know about this?"
"So far, the only people who know about this are General Yakov and the doctor who treated me."
Sokov now understood why Yakov always urged him to go to Vladimir to see Karina. It turned out that he had known about Karina's pregnancy for a long time, but for various reasons, he could never tell him clearly.
.
"If your boss knows about your pregnancy, will it affect your future work?"
"How could it be?" Karina grinned and continued: "During the war, there were quite a few pregnant lesbians in our unit. The leaders turned a blind eye to such things. They never turned a blind eye.
No need to ask."
"What about after the child is born?" Sokov asked with concern. He was also thinking that if Karina couldn't raise the child after giving birth, he would have to take the child back and give it to Asya to raise together.
.
"It's okay. I can work alone and take care of my children at the same time. All the female colleagues in our unit do this."
"Karina," Sokov felt that it was necessary to make things clear to Karina so that she would not blame him in the future: "Have you thought about it, do you really want to give birth to this child?"
Karina did not answer Sokov's question, but asked: "Why, don't you want this child?"
"Of course I want children, and the more the better. Anyway, with my ability, I can afford to raise them." Sokov said with concern: "I'm worried that it will be inconvenient for you to raise the children alone."
"There is nothing inconvenient." Karina said with a smile on her face: "Many female colleagues in our unit had husbands and boyfriends who died on the battlefield, and they all raised their children by themselves.
"Hearing what Karina said, Sokov thought of the women who came to Moscow from Ukraine to work in later generations. They basically raised one or several children by themselves while working, and they had no understanding of such a life.
??????55.??????
way to complain. It seems that Karina should be such a woman.
"Okay, Karina." Sokov nodded and said, "Since you have made a decision, I will not interfere with your decision. As long as I have time in the future, I will come here to see you and
children's."
"Well, I hope you won't forget what you said today in the future."
"No, I always keep my word." Sokov said: "As long as I have time, I will come to Vladimir."
"The water is boiling. I'll make tea for you."
Sokov quickly grabbed Karina and said, "I'll do it. You sit down and rest. Don't get pregnant."
"How can I be so squeamish?" Karina said to Sokov who was busy in the kitchen: "The sugar cubes and honey are in the cabinet above your head."
The two finished drinking tea and had dinner. Seeing that it was getting dark, Karina seemed anxious: "Misha, are you going back to Moscow now?"
After hearing this, Sokov shook his head and said, "I plan to stay here for two days. I wonder if you will welcome me?"
"Welcome, of course." Karina was very happy to learn that Sokov was going to stay with her. She stood up and said, "There is nothing to eat at home. I will go out to buy something and come back to cook."
"Karina, please don't go out." Sokov shook his head at her and said, "When I entered the city, I observed carefully that not a single store was open. Even if you went out, I'm afraid there would be no place to buy anything.
.”
"Then what should we do?" Karina was a little panicked: "After the food at home is finished today, it will be gone tomorrow."
"Tomorrow is January 3rd, some stores should be open." Sokov said: "When it is daytime tomorrow, I will drive outside to see if any stores are open."
"Well, we just have to wait until tomorrow to see if the shops outside are open." In addition to worrying about not having enough food at home, Karina is also very worried about one thing: "Misha, if you don't go home, your wife won't care.
You?"
"She went back to Khimki town with her parents, and she won't be able to go home until the 5th." Sokov said: "She won't even ask where I went in the past two days."
When he said this, Sokov was thinking that he would go to see Zhukov before the 5th. Then when he left Vladimir the day after tomorrow, he would go directly to Zhukov's villa to see what advice he had for him.
…
Time soon came to the morning of the 4th.
When Sokov got up, although he tried not to make too much noise, he still woke up Karina. She sat up, leaned her back on the bed and asked: "Misha, are you leaving?" "Yes,
Karina, I'm leaving." Sokov was worried that if Karina tried to persuade him to stay, he might not be able to make up his mind to leave, so he took the initiative and said: "I once promised Marshal Zhukov that before the 5th,
Go to his place." Just as Sokov expected, Karina originally wanted him to stay one more day, but when she heard that he said he was going to Marshal Zhukov's house, she could only change her mind: "Misha
, then be careful on the road and remember to come and take a look when you have time.
I."
Sokov nodded, stepped forward and hugged Karina's shoulders, kissed her on the forehead, then turned and left the bedroom.
Sokov drove to the street. Although he still saw not many pedestrians, he could see the traffic police appearing at the intersection, orderly directing the few vehicles on the street.
"Comrade traffic policeman," Sokov drove to the traffic policeman in the middle of the intersection, rolled down the window and asked: "Do you know where I can refuel?"
The traffic policeman clearly saw that the person sitting in the car asking him questions was a general. He quickly raised his hand in salute and said respectfully: "Comrade General, I'm afraid the unit responsible for refueling hasn't gone to work yet."
When Sokov heard this, he couldn't help but become a little anxious. His car had run two to three hundred kilometers and the fuel had run out. If there was no place to refuel, he would not be able to drive the car back.
Seeing Sokov's anxious look, the traffic policeman quickly asked: "Comrade General, what's the matter with you?"
"Yes, Comrade Traffic Police." Sokov nodded and said, "I have something urgent and I need to return to Moscow immediately. If the car runs out of gas, I won't be able to drive it for a long time, and it may delay important events." If so.
When other people say this to the traffic police, he doesn't know how to manage money at all. Whether your car has gas or how far it can go is none of my business. But the person who said this now is a senior general, of that nature.
It's different. He
If your car runs out of gas and cannot return to Moscow in time, it may really delay important events, and it may even implicate you.
