HAPPINESS FOR NOTHING.
With the beginning of changes in economy and political system in Ukraine
changes in behaving of Ukrainian women also started. In Kharkov, like
mushrooms after an autumn rain, marriage agencies started to work, agencies
that proposed to girls to make marriages abroad. Gils about 18 years old,
madams after a marriage or even several marriages went to make photos and
fill the profiles. Everybody believed in the "happy future" in imagination
of rich western man. The dream of everyone - a knight on the white horse
read: on white Mercedes ) will take me faraway overseas and all the
problems will be finished because he has plenty of money and will live long
and happy and die at the same day. And at the same time photos are put to
the Internet and dreams and thoughts of Ukrainian lady near them. Kharkov
Girls are beautiful they have especial charm. Photographers made their best.
Face, ideal figure, legs from the teeth, neck, and wrest: Everything is
there. Model!!! There were also not as good as before - none figure, I like
eating, especially fat, ravioli and rolls: And everything else of the
Ukrainian meals. Though I have kind and cheerful character - can live even
with devil. And it goes without saying with western man. ( But if to be
honest I could not live with my two - but that were their problems ).
Letters from men start to come to the photo. From men old and young, rich
and poor, nice and ugly, who cannot walk and move in invalid chair. Each of
them wants to take kind ( not ambitious ), beautiful ( cheap ), clever
without any rights ), hard-worker ( slave ). From America and Australia,
Europe and Africa, from the whole entire. Nearly every woman feels needed,
important and nearly loving
( in her imagination and fantasies ). After 3 - 5 months of correspondence
bridegrooms start coming for seeing the brides. One thing is photo and
another is to see her real.
The day of bridegroom coming.
Very worried 42 years old bride, has two children from different marriages,
dressed in very slim bridges and the same t-shirt. Of course she wants to
show that she has left from her figure! She meets at the airport 63 years
old man, that has 3 children and it was unknown whether he divorced or no,
he did not speak for this topic while correspondence. Finally people began
to walk from the airport and the bride saw her dream real. The dream was
higher that should be expected. Old man in "second hand" trousers and the
same t-shirt was shining with his metal jaw and cold and steel shining of
not understandable color eyes. The smile went away from the face of pretty
woman, flowers that she was holding in her hands nearly dies and put down
their heads. They were ashamed. But that was only the beginning. Then it was
needed to come to him and kiss him. After two minutes thinking this barrier
was taken. Then the bridegroom was taken to her place where her girlfriend
and elder daughter made traditional Kharkov dinner ( that cost about 200
UHR., and vareniki with country cheese, meat and potatoes bride was making
all the night before ), with champagne ( for not to be shamed before the
foreign guest and maybe future "husband"). After eating all the tasty things
the guest even wondered of what "Okroshka" was consist. He liked it very
much. Then everybody moved to the playing room where were talking about his
difficult flight ( with help of interpreter ) and about his feelings. From a
big case he took album with photos and showed with a pleasure his three
children, his wife, house, state and country. Bride's mood was getting worse
and worse. But then he was taken to the apartment he has rent. His week term
trip to Ukraine was connected with his business and he needed cheap
apartment and the same woman.
What a beautiful expectations were before...
