Mike had been saying he would marry Emmy since kindergarten. That’s what everyone called them-the bride and groom. And when they grew up, he protected her and took care of her like an older brother, even though he was her age. After school, he went to work in the capital and got married there. But his family life did not work out. His wife was very mercantile and wanted wealth, so they did not get along. He divorced her after six months. He returned to the village when he got a vacation. And there was a surprise waiting for him. “You came without your wife? “You’ll soon be without a bride,” my father joked when he saw Mike. “What do you mean?” “Emma is getting married tomorrow.
– Really? To whom?” Mike was surprised. After the divorce, he thought about Emma more and more often, so the news was an unpleasant surprise. She’s getting married to some guy from the city. I feel sorry for the girl. Yesterday he was seen with another girl, hugging and kissing. She came home in tears, told her parents, and they didn’t believe her. They don’t want to cancel the wedding. It was such a scandal! The whole village was on its ear. Mike sat in thought for a while, then hurriedly left. He went to look for Anna. Anna is their classmate and Emma’s friend, she works at the registry office. It was not difficult to find her, the village is small.
From her he learned all the details of the situation. Emma had really changed her mind about marrying that guy, but her parents refused to call off the wedding. He asked Anna to arrange a meeting between him and Emma. They met under the cover of night. For a long time, the girl cried, clinging to his shoulder. Mike comforted her and then proposed. She agreed. So in one night they replaced the groom at the wedding. Her parents did not mind, because they had known Mike for a long time. They have been living happily for twenty years in their native village.
