I sat at the table, holding a bank letter in my hands. < img src = "https://zycie.news/crrops/d4d5d4/620x0/1/0/2024/10/12/ykoerokjhbxev5jkgtxb6hko70vmcpvgnsad3qke.jpg" alt = "old lady @pexels" styles = "background-color: rgba (161,144,137,1)" > < P > My pension has just received the account. I should enjoy this moment & ndash; I finally worked all my life to have a spok to be provided to the old age.
< p > but I haven't had peace for a long time.< p > The phone rang exactly at 10:05. As every month.
< p > — Mom ? — The voice of my C & Amp; Oacute; Rki was sweet, but I already knew what I would hear. < p > — Yes, darling ?< p > — You know & Hellip; I had a little more expenses this month. You can transfer your retirement ?
< p > I sighed hard.
< p > — Marysia, I have already mai -& oacute; that I had to have something to live & hellip;< P >& Amp; MDASH; You have savings! & Amp; MDASH; Its tone immediately became sharp.
< p > — It's for a rainy day & hellip;< p > — Mom, but I have a rainy hour now!
< p > It wasn't the first time. < p > Since I retired, my C & Amp; Oacute; Rka treated me like her piggy bank. Each time she had a new power oacute; d: bills, school for children, car failure, unexpected expenses. And the same m & oacute; was the same:< p > & ampquo; mum, you won't sit on this money! You have them for me, truth ? & ~ rdquo;
< p > True ?
< p > — I can't give you the whole pension, Marysia. < p > — So how much can you ? — she asked cold. < p > I felt a prick in my heart.< p > — You don't understand & Hellip; I need this money to live normally.
< p > — Live ? — She laughed bitterly. & Amp; MDASH; After all, you sit at home for days! < p > I clenched my fingers on the phone. < p > — Marysia, I raised you. I devoted everything to you. And now you don't even ask if I miss something. Only every month you reach out for my money.< p > — You know what ? — Her voice suddenly became cold as L & Amp; Oacute; D. & Amp; MDASH; You are terribly selfish, mom.
< p > I felt my tears to my eyes.
< p > — Selfish ?< p > — Yes. You only think about yourself.
< p > After these words I heard the signal of the ending. < p > I put the phone on st & oacute; and my hands were trembling.< p > I looked at the bank from the bank.
> for retirement, which I was supposed to take myself.< p > but in fact someone took her away long ago.
< p > and took me something more.
