— How could you, my son?! — I cried, pounding my fists against his chest. — I raised you, fed you, stayed up nights for you, and you… you destroyed my house, my life!
He stood silently, eyes lowered. I couldn’t stop — the words poured out between tears and pain.
— You threw me out on the street! Do you want me to die under a fence?! What did I ever do to you, my children?..
But suddenly, he lifted his head, stepped closer, and said softly:
— Mom… please, calm down. You’ve got it all wrong.
I was stunned.
— What do you mean, wrong? I saw it with my own eyes! The house is gone!
— Yes, — he nodded, — the old house is gone… because it had become dangerous. We thought for a long time about how to tell you, but we knew you’d never agree. So we decided to do it quickly.
