The girl got to the orphanage with her parents still alive. She was only three years old. She did not remember her parents, although she tried to recall her mother’s facial features. She remembered only one cry, the cry of a boy. Who was he? Why was he crying? She did not know. The girl did not lose hope that her mother would come back for her. She sat all day at the window and waited for her mother. At night she had a dream, every day the same: she was trying to calm a crying boy, but did not know what to do. She screamed in her sleep across the room: “Hush, don’t cry, I’ll come soon!” One morning the girl was called to the principal’s office and told that someone came to see her.
– Are you sure? To see me? The girl thought it was her mother. But she was mistaken. In the office she saw an unfamiliar couple. When she entered, they were silent, looking at each other. Then the woman introduced herself and asked her: – Do you mind walking with us? The girl nodded in agreement, they took her by the hands and went out into the yard. They walked, the man and the woman talked about what they do, what their interests are. The woman added that they had a dog. This is the only thing that the girl remembered, because in her small head there was no room for complex names of their positions. They did not specify the purpose of their visit, but she knew well that usually such foster parents get acquainted with children they liked. If they come back, it means they have not changed their mind. And they did come back.
Only this time the woman came alone. The girl was again called to the principal’s office and they were left alone. – I want to confess why we came last time. My husband and I have a son, we are his adoptive parents. We took him when he was very small, and now he is already 4. I saw you on the site and noticed that you have the same surname as our son. I made inquiries: it turned out that you are brother and sister. – I have a brother? – said the girl, and only then she realized who was the boy from her memories and dreams. – We want you to be together. If you don’t mind, we would like to adopt you. A few months later, the brother and sister were reunited. It was not easy for the girl in the new family, but she no longer had those dreams, because she found her brother, who called her even in her dreams.
