– No, no and no again – Wanda answered with conviction to Anna's proposal.
She didn't want to become the owner of the apartment before the wedding, but on the condition that she would marry her son Piotr.
– No apartment is worth that.
– But why not? – Anna wondered – You live together anyway! Why don't you get married? And I would buy you an apartment. For you! Not for him!
– Ha! A two-bedroom apartment! They found something they can surprise me with. Who do you think I am, Anna?
– You think I'm joking? It's okay, it's okay. There's nothing to laugh at. You'll get a four-room apartment. No less than eighty meters.
– No, Anna. Even near the metro, your Piotr is not worth such sacrifices.
– What sacrifices?
– Such sacrifices! Sacrifices that I will have to make if I marry him.
– What sacrifices, Wanda?
– Marrying an infantile and jealous man who doesn't work anywhere isn't a sacrifice in your opinion? Your son is almost forty! Forty! And what has he achieved? No one wants his paintings. And it's not known whether he'll ever become a famous and popular artist. Maybe never. So no, Anna, whatever you want, I don't need such happiness. I'll live with your son for another year and that's it.
– Why don't you leave him now? – Anna asked. – Why do you live with him, if you don't see any prospects for him, and in a year you'll leave him anyway?
– Unfortunately, Anna, I still love him now. I don't believe in his future as an artist, but I love him. And so I have to put up with all his faults.
– And in a year what?
– In a year, it will be exactly three years since we met. By then, my love for him will have passed and I will leave him alone. And now: I'm sorry, but I can't do this with all my heart. I'll suffer with him for another year and that's it.
– In that case, I have a proposition for you. If you marry my son, you will get both the apartment and the cottage in the country.
Wanda thought about it. – No! – she said confidently after a short silence – Piotrek is not worth it. I'll live with him for another year and then go to a more promising one.
And if you have a bank account in addition to the apartment and the house? I'll transfer my fortune to you before the wedding. – And after the birth of each child.
After lengthy negotiations with my mother-in-law about transferring material goods in various circumstances, Wanda finally agreed to the wedding. Although Piotr was happy at first, it quickly passed when he heard from his mother that she was graciously giving them her blessing.
Indignant, he stated that he would have married Wanda anyway, even without his mother's consent. Anna eventually realized that the whole circus of negotiations was Piotr's idea to show her mother what money could do to a person. As a very wealthy woman, she decided to uphold the arrangements with Wanda and even appreciated her fight for the well-being of her future children, and grandchildren for Anna.
