Goodbye my mother, the whole story. - Page 2

The story of the second uncle.

The second uncle was the child who was born while my grandfather was in prison. It was never found out who his real father was, but for him it didn't matter, he knew my grandfather as his father was, he raised him and raised him. Ljiljana and he returned to Poland and there they continued their lives. He went to one side and went to live with tenants so as not to be a burden on his aunt, and Ljiljana stayed with her until her first marriage.

My uncle met a saleswoman in a large department store one day and immediately fell in love with her. The woman was beautiful and she had big dreams with him that slowly began to come true. Slowly their family expanded and so first a beautiful boy was born and after him a beautiful girl. They were very happy in their family and decided to move to Yugoslavia, because there they found a nice apartment and a job that suited them. But one day they had to leave the apartment they bought and go far away because the war started in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

hey decided to leave everything and go far away where they won't have to see all the suffering. The four of them went to America and the brothers and sisters never saw each other again. He died a few years ago in America from the heart and the sadness that he had to leave everything and go.

Let me return to the story of Ljiljana.

After returning to Poland, she got a job and worked in a state-owned company as a cafeteria cook. There she met a stout man named Vladimir and it was love at first sight. Shortly after that, they got married and had a son who was a mirror image of his father. But that's where the problem comes and the realization that that marriage was wrong. From his drunkenness until late at night, to psychological abuse. All of this one day pushed Ljiljana to seek a divorce. She got a divorce and alimony was determined, which he had to pay every month. He never gave a single dinar to support his son. After several years, they met by chance on a river where Ljilja's son was swimming and accidentally stepped on glass

At that moment, his father, not knowing that it was his son, ran up and took him in his arms and took him to the hospital. It was only when he took a closer look at him and saw something that only the two of them had that it was clear to him that it was his son. He could not recover from his surprise. Ljiljana, who rushed to the hospital in fear for her son, saw a scene that made her cry. Father and son look at each other with their sky blue eyes and only now have they become aware of who is who. She approached slowly and just thanked quietly and that was all from the two of them. After that, they never met again. After a few years, she met an even more beautiful man, and she thought that was it. She married happily and was satisfied that he accepted her son from her first marriage.

After a year of their marriage, another son was born, a beautiful boy with big black eyes.. A beautiful boy whom they immediately named Mrki. Her husband was a traveling salesman and as such he went everywhere and was in various places, and so one evening it happened that he was in a restaurant with his business partners. He was 28 years old and a very handsome and handsome man. Before he went to that dinner, he and Ljiljana agreed on some investment, in fact, to slowly collect money for an apartment because they were still living as tenants. He went to that dinner happy and satisfied, not even suspecting that it was his last. At some time of the night, the lilies were awakened by the moans and cries of people in front of her house where she lived. she came out all terrified, and she was holding little Mrki in her arms, and her other son was holding on to her dressing gown.

She went out in front of the house, where one of the people who happened to be there said that her husband was injured by some drunks who shot and hit him in the head. He died on the spot. Ljiljana was no longer able to hear anything and her body no longer wanted to listen. Someone ran up and took the child from her hands, and she fell to the floor like a saint. Everything she dreamed in one fatal moment turned into the biggest nightmare. Left alone for the second time with two small children to fight through life, she worked and fought for the two of them and always put herself last. She had a hard time being alone and withdrew more and more into herself, but her sons somehow gave her the strength to continue living and fight for them. And so the years passed and in her solitude she slowly gave in to a kind of depression.

In the place where she lived in a small dilapidated house, a building began to be built. Every day she passed by and slowly existed aware that someone was watching her. A kind man worked on that construction site who looked at Ljiljana and admired how proud she was and how she coped with her troubles. Although it was not easy for him either, he had a failed marriage with a woman who died after their divorce and he was left with a son to take care of.

Of course, he immediately agreed to get married, their wedding was very strange to everyone, but they decided that way. Ljiljana could not surrender to her happiness because there was a very bad and above all difficult period for her and she did not know that life had planned for her an even more painful future. Her husband was a construction worker who traveled and left her alone with the children. She brought 2 sons to that marriage, she had a little girl with him, and he brought his son to live together. The girl was a very good and obedient child, but the woman who took care of her was someone who liked to drink coffee more than to take care of children. And because of all that, the child had pneumonia twice in a month

This led to a complete breakdown of Ljiljana, where she had to decide to stop working and dedicate herself to the house and children. And that's what she did, she stayed at home with her four children and he went to the field. And as a builder, he earned very well, and as such he was able to afford himself and them to buy a house. They moved into a house that was a duplex with a family that had many children. The children grew up together and played, no one ever mentioned who was of which nationality, they were all brothers and sisters. After a few years of idyll and happiness, Ljiljana wanted to take a break and start behaving the way Marija taught her. She slowly began to focus on herself and her appearance, and as she always pointed out, she loved wearing those buns that she saw at Marija's. She grew her hair long enough to make buns. In the beginning, her husband admired her and gave her maximum attention, but like every man, he started to give her a guilty conscience. She noticed that she was drinking a lot and that bothered her a lot. Once she reproached him for that and he cursed her.
