Accidentally found out what wanted to hide my husband, had to make a deal with conscience.
The ancient Roman poet Ovid once said: “A pure conscience is not afraid of lies, nor rumors, nor gossip.” Agree, the cleaner a person's conscience, the calmer he lives. He doesn’t worry about what others will say because he can’t be caught.
But this is not always the case, because each of us can keep secrets. One skeleton is kept in the closet of our heroine Olga today. In the past, she has committed a controversial act and betrayed her conscience. What happened and whether the woman forgave herself, read further in the article.
My son fell in love with a neighbor girl when he was 17. Together with Nastya, he studied at the same school, together with her decided to enter the university. Their love story always seemed fabulous to me. Nastya is a decent and kind girl, she has wonderful parents. What else can a mother wish for her own son?
When Nastya and Pasha went to study in the capital, we occasionally met with our future matchmakers. Yes, I was sure that there would come a time when Pasha would invite Nastya to marry and their fairy tale would play with new colors. But I didn't think it would happen so quickly.
After the summer session, the children returned home and were stunned by the news: Nastya's pregnant. Pasha firmly decided to transfer to a distance and look for work. I really didn't want my son to drop out of school, but this is his life, so my husband and I didn't insist on anything.
The boys wanted to have a modest wedding, and they secured our support. Nastya's parents did not mind, and we began to slowly prepare for the celebration. From time to time, I would visit the matchmakers for tea to discuss some issues. I used to say I was coming, but that day I stopped and forgot.

As I approached the gates of the Nastina House, I heard the disturbing conversation of her parents. Nastya’s mother said: “What will happen if Pasha finds out everything?” What will we do if the child is born not like Nastya or Pasha?
Nastin's dad replied, "Katya, we can't ruin their lives." They're a great couple, and what happened to Nastya was just a mistake. Pasha loves her with all her heart, everything will be fine!
Is everything secret becoming apparent? This dialogue got me into a stupor. But I decided to go home immediately before I was noticed. At home, I didn't know what to do. I was afraid to tell my husband, who knows how he would react. Talking to my son was a bad idea. “The morning of the evening is wiser,” I thought and went to bed.
The next day I was tormented by restless thoughts. I knew what might have happened. But I needed someone to say it exactly, directly. I didn't have to wait long. Nastya's mother came to visit tonight. As it turned out, she saw me at the gate that fateful day.
Katya put an envelope with a large sum of money on the table and said: Olya, you know how our children love each other. None of us want to destroy their future lives. Nastya herself does not fully understand what happened. Maybe it wasn't her fault. One child will be born and a second child will be born in a few years.”
I still didn’t understand everything, so I asked directly, “Is she pregnant with my son?” Katya looked at me meaningfully and nodded. All right. The mother of my future daughter-in-law wants to pay for my silence. I looked at Katya and took the money. And a sin on my soul.
Yes, I had to go over myself and my conscience. But isn't that the only way out? It's not the kid's fault. Money matchmakers helped us to arrange a good wedding for the children.
And the rest of the money went for repairs in the apartment, where the guys will move. We used to sell it for pennies, and now it will be on the farm of Nastya and Pasha. My husband had to lie. Said the money came from my brother who lives in the United States. I decided to make such a generous gift to my nephew, a contribution to the future.
It's been 5 years. Nastya managed to give birth to a second child, and now we are raising two grandchildren. I love them equally and try not to remember that unfortunate day. Pasha and Nastya live soul to soul. So I did the right thing!
The actions of the main character can be regarded in different ways. Someone will say that she concealed the betrayal of her daughter-in-law and thereby deceived her own son. And someone will be sure that it was falsehoodEverything in her son’s young family has improved.
I wonder what would you do in Olga’s place? Boldly share your opinion in the comments!

My husband is a brave long-distance captain, but most of all he likes to return to our cozy home.
