Kolya, I need to tell you something! Sasha is not your son!” The man had not even taken off his shoes when he entered the house when his wife met him with this unexpected revelation.

-“Kolya, I have to tell you something! Sasha is not your son!” The man had not yet taken off his shoes when he entered the house when his wife met him with this unexpected revelation. Kolya was surprised. He looked into the eyes of his wife, Maria, looking for a joke or subtext, but saw only deep despair. “What do you mean, Maria? What does it even mean? Maria sighed, not knowing which way to approach the explanation. “Listen, Kolya, it’s so hard for me to say this, but I can’t hide the truth anymore. Sasha… Sasha is from my ex. It happened when we broke up for a few months, a few years ago. Kolya couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

Everything inside him screamed with despair and betrayal. He looked at his son, who was playing on the floor. “How could you hide this from me all these years, Maria?” His voice was full of resentment. “I was afraid,” Maria replied, “I was afraid of losing you. You loved Sasha so much, I couldn’t ruin that… Kolya went to his room, closing the door behind him. He needed time to digest everything he had heard. A few hours later, he returned to the living room where Maria was sitting on the couch, anxiously awaiting his reaction. “I… I don’t know what to do, Maria. My life was built around you and Sasha. Maria took his hands in hers.

– I love you just as much, Kolya. And Sasha always thought of you as his father. That means something, doesn’t it? Kolya looked at his son, who was still playing on the floor, unaware of the adult problems around him. He was his son in his heart, even if not by blood. He turned his gaze to Maria, and together they came to a difficult but important decision. “We will work on this together,” Kolya said, hugging Maria. It was a new beginning, full of unforeseen circumstances, but they were ready to go through it together, for the sake of the family they had created.
