Chapter 5 / the first step into a new life
The girl clearly did not expect this.
- Wait, do you at least understand what they just said?!  - asked the girl in surprise!
- Yes, Ira, I hear what you said.  I know this is unexpected for you, but I want to say that I will not offend you, for this I will provide for you for the rest of my life.
- That is, you are serious, you want me to become your wife
- This marriage is fictitious!  - emphasized the man
- I can refuse, right?!
- Of course, but I know that you need money right now, and mom has hope for you!
- How do you know about mom?!
- I know everything, so what is your answer!?
- Sorry, I need to think!

After leaving the office, Ira took her bag and left the office.  Sitting on the bench, the girl did not know what to do!  Her mother is seriously ill, her illness is curable, but the medicine costs cosmic money.  Thoughts were mixed in my head, on the one hand, there is no need to do anything, the marriage is fictitious, the girl will be able to help her mother, and on the other hand... fear?!  Getting up from the bench, Ira went to the house.  Opening the door of a half-empty house, loneliness met the girl!
- And I missed you, loneliness!  - said the girl, closing the front door!
Falling down on the sofa, the girl closed her eyes and mentally found herself next to her father.  She remembers him as a cheerful, somewhat strict, but loving man.  People dream of some kind of career growth, big buildings, and Ira dreams of once again trying her father's cookies with chocolate, as only he knew how to cook them!
Having climbed the mountain, the girl took off her clothes and put on pajamas, lying down in bed, Ira could not fall asleep for a long time, and only an hour later, fell into a deep sleep.
In the morning, at 8:26 a.m., the girl woke up not to the sound of the alarm clock, but to the ringtone.  "Mama" appeared on the screen, raising it up, Ira spoke
- Yes, mother!  - muttered the girl sleepily!
- Donya, are you sleeping?!  - the woman asked in a tearful voice!
- Mom, why are you crying?!  something happened?!  - Ira jumped out of bed!
- No, daughter, everything is fine.  It seems to you!
- Tell me the truth, have you been to the doctor?!
- So!  - the woman started to cry!
- What... what did he say?!
But to Aira's question, the woman remained silent
- Please, tell me, mother, what he said!?
- The disease is progressing, he said that treatment should be started.  I said that there is no such money, he said that otherwise I will have several months left!
- Hell!!!  Mom, I'll call you back!
After dropping the call, the girl put on the first thing that came to hand and ran out of the house.  "There are a few months left" stuck in her head, Ira ran with all her legs, forgetting that she overslept at work.  Having reached the office, the girl climbed to the right floor and, having reached the manager's door, Aila came out
- Where you stand, there is a meeting!!!  - shouted the woman
But Aira did not hear, and running into the office, there were about 10 people sitting in front of her, among whom was Faure!
-Sorry to interrupt your meeting, but it's urgent!!  - said the girl!!

The man looked at the girl with a surprised look, after which he transferred it to his colleague and said!
- I apologize, the meeting will have to be postponed until tomorrow!  Send the documents to the mail, I will review them later!
Everyone left the office, leaving Ira and Faure alone.

- What was that?  - the man asked in surprise!
- I agree!
-What?
- I agree to become your wife, I agree to this fictitious marriage!  - after a short pause, the girl continued.  - but I have one condition!
- I am listening!  - said Faure, leaning against his desk!
- I don't need your money, but my mother does, you know.  So in exchange for my consent, I want you to fully pay for my mother's treatment!

The man was silent for several minutes, his eyes read a lot, the biggest surprise!
- OK, I'll pay for your mother's treatment, I'll cover all the expenses, don't worry about it!
- OK, can I ask something?!
- Yes, I am listening!
- How will it all be!?!
- What exactly?
- Meeting the parents, I don't know the wedding or what!
- The contract is ready, you just need to re-read it and sign it, there are conditions that we need to adhere to and this is a guarantee of honesty both on my part and on your part!
Turning around, Faure took out the document from the bedside table and handed it to Ira!  Sitting down on the sofa, the girl began to reread!
- Will we live in the same house?!  - asked the girl in surprise
- Of course, as the other way around.  I will say more, we will live in the same room, but I am not going to sleep with you, so don't worry.  Everything just has to look true.
- OK, down here it says that this marriage is invested for 1 year, how is that?!?
- Do you really think that it's all so fast?  Then it will look implausible if we quickly get married and divorce, especially since it takes time to rewrite the business!
After reading all the conditions to the end, the girl picked up a pen and signed the document.  From today, life will change dramatically, but the main thing is that Ira will be able to help her mother, because she is the only one she has!
- Great, tonight I'll come pick you up, we'll go to my parents' house to get to know each other.  We will discuss all the details later - looking at the clock, Faure continued - I will be at 18:40, hold my card, you need to look your best today.
Ira left her husband's office and decided to go shopping because she "needs to look her best."  Having entered the store, the girl began to look at various exquisite dresses, all of them were incredibly charming, but one dress interested Ira the most!  A red and white dress, slightly above the knee with a cutout on the chest, attracted the girl's attention, after trying it on, Ira could not take her eyes off herself, it seemed to her that it was not her in the mirror.  After buying it, the girl did her hair, makeup, put on a dress and started waiting for her husband, but she didn't have to wait long, the doorbell rang!

Opening them, the girl saw in front of her an elegant man in a black suit with a perfect hairstyle.
- I'm sorry, but where did you share my husband - said the girl sarcastically
At which the man just laughed
- Do you want to say that I always don't look very good, but here I look really good?!
- At least you understood what you said - the girl said through laughter!
- Everyone, let's go, they are already waiting for us, my mother can't find a place for herself.
After taking the bag and closing the door of the house, Faure and Ira got into the car!
The man started to speak
- So yes, we have known you for half a year, we meet somewhere the same, my favorite color is black, favorite fruits are strawberries and apples, a scar on my shoulder from childhood.  And I will make you an offer today at my parents' house.  Did you remember everything?!
- Yes, the favorite fruit Banana and kiwi, a scar on the leg and we have known you for three days!
- You're joking, we have a serious business - said the man with a smile, he wanted to laugh, but he held back his emotions!
