Bride and groom shower
Urgently come to the café, we are celebrating a wedding, two seats are empty," said my sister in surprise. For the first time this year, the entire large family of Nicholas gathered around the family table. Irina Gavel was bustling back and forth from the table to the kitchen, hurriedly filling the table with dishes.- Should I bring some salad or chicken?" the woman suggested to her older daughter and son-in-law.- Thank you, no need. You should stop running around and sit at the table," Christina smiled at her mother.- Oh, I’ll have plenty of time to sit later," Irina Gavel scanned the table with a critical eye, trying to understand what was missing and what else needed to be added. Suddenly, the youngest daughter of the woman, who had come to dinner with her fiancé, decided to speak up. Anna raised her empty glass and rang it several times with her fork.- I want to share some joyful news with everyone.
Gregory and I have finally decided to get married!"
The girl exclaimed excitedly, casting a triumphant glance around the attendees.- Oh, finally!" Irina Gavel clapped her hands. It seemed she was happier than anyone else that her second daughter was finally going to sort out her personal life. - When are you planning to register the marriage? - The girls' father inquired, eager to find out when the feast would be scheduled. - We'll see and let everyone know! - Anna said proudly, tilting her head back. There was no more talk about the wedding ceremony. For about a month, Christina waited for an invitation from her sister and brother-in-law, but she received nothing. In a conversation with her mother, she voiced her curiosity about the topic, but Irina Gavel skillfully changed the subject, mentioning that Anna hadn't said anything to them yet. - Maybe they have decided not to get married after all? - joked her husband. - They might register, and that's it. - No, you don't know my sister, - Christina protested. - If she announced the wedding to everyone, then it would happen.
Natalie will go to great lengths to show off.
Then it turns out we just weren't invited, - the man concluded. - Apparently, - the woman replied with annoyance. A woman caught herself thinking that everything was just as Maximo had said. "It's strange that mom also seems to know nothing about the wedding..." "Or she's pretending not to know," the man said with a smile. "We invited the closest ones, and we don't fall into that category." Christina nodded in agreement. Another week passed, and on an early Saturday morning, when her husband was at work and the child was sleeping, Anna called. "You need to come to the cafe urgently, we're celebrating the wedding!" her sister shocked the woman. "How are you celebrating?" Christina asked, stunned. "Well, like that. I don’t have time to chat with you. Come quickly!" Anna didn't answer her sister's question. "Of course, I congratulate you on the wedding, but we won't be able to come. You should have warned us earlier..." "What difference does it make when I called you! While we were at the registry office, we found out that Euгорa's aunt and uncle can't come, and the cafe is paid for according to the number of people. So now we have two empty seats," the bride explained in a jumble.
You have an hour and a half for everything.
I'll send the address by message. - No, sorry, we can't, - Christina refused. - No one invites you a couple of hours before the celebration. - Damn, we weren't even planning to invite you, as we talked it over with the relatives and decided it would be too expensive to gather everyone, - Anna frankly admitted. - But you see the situation that has developed. Aunt and uncle couldn't make it, so come instead of them. My mom urged me, or I would have started to panic. - Nastya, we won't come! Sasha is at work, the child is asleep, and I'm busy with household chores, - Christina stated firmly. - Damn, what are you guys doing? - The sister pouted, hurt. - We paid three and a half thousand for each. We're going to lose seven... - I can't help, but congratulations on your wedding day, - citing her busyness, the woman hastily ended the conversation with Anna. For about half an hour, she then walked around the house with a thoughtful expression, digesting the information that had come from her sister.
However, being alone with her thoughts for long, Christina couldn't focus, as Irina Gavel called her daughter. - Christina, aren't you coming? Natalie is distraught, - the woman said plaintively. - Upset for what reason? Because she didn't call us right away, or because she's going to end up in the red? - The daughter laughed mockingly. - Thank you, of course, for pretending you knew nothing about the upcoming celebration. - What was I supposed to say? That your sister decided not to invite you? Natalie isn't to blame.
It's all the matchmaker's doing.
She indicated whom to invite. Christy, maybe you'll still come? There's still time. " Talk to your husband," insisted Irina Gavel. - Mom, we still won't be able to come no matter how much we want to, - Christina replied firmly. - Maximo is at work, and Slyvester is sleeping. And honestly, I have no desire to go anywhere at all. - Well, okay, as you wish, - the mother sighed resignedly, - but remember that you are sisters, and Natalie is likely to be upset with you, - she added, making another attempt to pressure her daughter.
An attempt to pressure her daughter.
It's interesting that when it was decided not to invite us, she didn't remember that I am her sister! - Christina retorted. - So there's no need to try to appeal to my conscience. - I'm not trying to appeal to anything, it's just that it's still really unattractive on your part, - Irina Gavel skillfully made her daughter feel guilty. - You guys are great, of course! - The woman sneered. - In any awkward situation, blame the other person. The mother said nothing in response to Christina. Instead, she quietly hung up, showing her discontent. However, four hours later, she called back and informed that after the café, she would come to visit her. - Will you be home? - Irina Gavel inquired. - Well, yes, - Christina responded in confusion, genuinely not understanding what her mother was trying to achieve. At ten in the evening, the woman arrived at her daughter's place. She held a bag with containers in her hands. - I brought you something.
There are dishes for two people left.
Irina Gavel handed her daughter the heavy load. - There are salads here and chicken legs."Drumsticks, all kinds of sliced meats, and even a cake! - Mom, why did you bring this to us? - Christina refused to take the bag from her mother. - I wanted to cheer you up since you couldn't come, - the woman went to the kitchen and started pulling out containers onto the table. - Natalie asked me to pass this along. Everything is delicious! Dig in! However, her daughter didn't budge. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked questioningly at her mother. - I’ll probably go, - the woman crumpled the bag in her hands. - Oh, I wanted to say something else. You didn't give Natalie anything for the wedding, and I brought you food. Could you at least pass on seven thousand to your sister? Christina's face flushed with anger. She straightened up and pointed at the containers with her finger. - Take your food back, I won't pay for it.
You've come up with a clever plan, of course.
If the mountain won't go to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the hill, - the woman looked reproachfully at her mother. - If it weren't for those two guests who didn't show up, I would have only found out about the wedding through social media. Irina Gavel looked disappointed..." She looked at Christina and, pouting in annoyance, started to put the containers back into the bag. After finishing this action, the woman trudged to the exit. She was agitated that Christina didn't fall for her cunning move. After the sister's wedding, they, who had barely communicated before that, completely stopped contacting each other. Although Anna sincerely did not understand why this happened, since she had even sent food for Christina with her mother.
