A man married his mistress after his wife's funeral. A few years later, he saw his dead wife alive

carolyn came out of the pastry shop walked to the car and noticed her husband standing on the sidewalk looking somewhere in the distance david why are you frozen come on let's go we're already late there's probably everyone already gathered at the table only we're missing she said in a disgruntled voice it was as if david hadn't heard her and the woman couldn't stand it walked over and tugged at his sleeve he looked at her with a strange look and then as if reluctantly headed for the car carolyn continued to grumble in the car and david

flew his thoughts to the recent past when he was not married to carolyn but to nicole quiet modest loving woman nicole was his first love and first wife they were so happy until caroline crossed his path and then then nicole died she was in a terrible and ridiculous accident and there was nothing david could do for her he only sobbed hugging the coffin and begging nicole for forgiveness but even then in those bitter days of hopelessness he had no idea what he had really lost after nicole was gone he wasn't happy for a single hour

not even when carolyn gave birth to his son david felt like an outsider in his new family and often wondered when it had all gone wrong probably the day when carolyn appeared in the company where david worked elegant long legged dressed tastefully she proudly held her head up and strode to her workplace as if she were not a staff economist but a director david at the time was the head of the department and he often had to deal on business issues with carolyn sometimes sitting with the documents late one day it so happened that their

relationship crossed the line that usually lies between colleagues the initiator was carolyn it was late evening and the two of them were in the office finishing summarizing the company's profit figures suddenly carolyn stood up stretched graves fully and then walked over and sat in david's lap what are you doing he whispered astonishingly she silently untied his tie with her thin skilled fingers unbuttoned his shirt collar and her lips pressed to his lips carolyn i'm married david protested but she moved on to more daring caresses david could not push her away and meanwhile the faithful and

loyal nicole was waiting for him at home david felt an incredible sense of shame in front of his wife but he could not refuse carolyn and with each meaning he became more and more ashamed then one day carolyn told him that she was expecting a child david you have to make a decision and make a choice between your wife and to our baby i hope you won't make the baby suffer david only now realized what he had done the passion that carolyn had skillfully kindled in him had nothing to do with love it was a

feeling he only had for nicole and he did not want to lose her yes he had become a traitor to her but perhaps one day she could forgive him carolyn i'm sorry david muttered everything that happened between us was a mistake i'm not giving up on the baby and of course i'll help you but my family is nicole carolyn had a tough temper that's why she didn't cry as another woman would have done she smiled vindictively and said so you want to remain a faithful husband and do you think your wife will forgive you or

has she already forgiven you doesn't she have an ounce of womanly pride in her no i haven't talked to her yet david shook his head she's gone to visit her parents i'll wait for her and tell her everything when she comes back but nicole didn't come back two days after this conversation her mother called and told david that she had been in a terrible accident and died we'll bury her here mrs mitchell said in a firm tone i want to be near my daughter and you if you want may come to visit her grave she

said something else but david couldn't hear her in those days he was like in a fog and only falling down to his wife's closed coffin he sobbed bitterly regretting that he had not protected his beloven and moreover betrayed her and so several years had passed now david was married to carolyn they were raising a young son and today came to a nearby state to celebrate the 50th anniversary of carolyn's aunt when they arrived in town carolyn asked her husband to stop outside a candy store and david while his wife was away looked around the unfamiliar

streets with interest suddenly his case fell on the slender figure of a woman who had come out of the store on the opposite side david shuttered as if he had been electrocuted it was nicole his nicole the same nicole he had mourned for all these years how many times secretly from caroline he had come to the cemetery to visit his first wife and sat for long hours by her grave talking to her as if she were alive and now he saw her before him alive david wanted to rush out to her to call out nicole

but the cry froze on his lips and his feet were stuck to the ground it was a real shock and there was no way david could move it was at that moment that carolyn returned david had to make an incredible effort to get into the car devoting himself to memories he barely kept his eyes on the road when they arrived at the place and all of carolyn's family sat down at the table david told his wife that he wasn't feeling well and went into one of the rooms to rest finally being alone he could quietly

immerse himself in his thoughts a happy family with carolyn never worked out for him powerful and opinionated she was not accustomed to take someone else's opinion the first two years of the birth of his son were a real nightmare for david he hoped that the caprices of pregnant carolyn disappeared when the baby comes into the world but as it turned out it was only the beginning carolyn was demanding that david run to her at the first call disrupting important negotiations one day she begged him to come urgently without explaining anything over the phone david was

going crazy with excitement for the child and drove home at such a speed that the wheels of the car barely touched the ground but the door was open by a smiling carolyn you came how nice clapton satisfied woman i missed you so much what's wrong with our son shouted david losing his temper nothing he's asleep what could possibly happen to him carolyn what are you doing do you realize that i had an important meeting and i dropped everything and rushed to you that's good it means you love me left carolyn back but he didn't love

her he had never loved her there was only nicole in his heart but she was dead or was she not dead the thought so overwhelmed david that he sat up abruptly on the couch he hadn't seen her dead after all the coffin was closed and the funeral was kind of strange david only now realized that nicole's mother wasn't crying at all at that time he thought it was just a shock and now he saw the whole situation quite differently exhausted by heavy thinking david collapsed back on the couch when carolyn stopped by to ask him

how he was doing he already had a plan carolyn i'm sorry i have to leave right away wait tomorrow night we're going to a restaurant it's my aunt's anniversary there'll be a lot of guests i'll try to make it promise david and despite his wife's displeasure he got into the car and drove away on the way he stopped near a construction store bought two shovels were gloves and a flashlight and only then continued his way he arrived at the cemetery where nicole was buried in the evening when it was quite dark he followed a familiar

path to his wife's grave and began to dig it up and david not accustomed to physical work quickly rubbed blisters but that did not stop him hour after hour passed and david kept digging and digging stopping only briefly to take a break finally the shovel knocked on the lid of the coffin david sighed heavily only now he thought that he would not be able to get the coffin to the surface his nerves as well as his physical strength were at their limits so he decided to open the lid of the coffin right there in the

grave the shovel banged against the half-rotten boards and a large gap appeared in the coffin when he managed to tear off the lid he wept bitterly realizing that he had actually buried several years ago he even met dawn sitting in a grave on the wreckage of a wooden coffin in his hands were albums and photographs in which he and nicole were young and happy here in the coffin david found a box covered with scarlet velvet which he himself once given his wife she kept all his gifts and small signs of attention he gave her in

it and all this meant only one thing that day he did not bury his wife but her love and his happiness after taking all the fines from the grave david somehow got the grave buried and then crushed by everything that had happened he headed for the exit dying of exhaustion he got behind the wheel drank some water and immediately without driving away from the cemetery he fell soundly asleep on the evening of the same day carolyn was very angry when she realized that david did not come in time she went up to her aunt and

apologized for her husband i didn't expect anything else from him the end grinned you know i never liked your david he doesn't compare to mason auntie come on you know mason wasn't as malleable as david when mason found out that he got me pregnant he demanded that i get an abortion but i've already done it a few times and the doctors warned me that this was probably the last chance for me to become a mother i couldn't let it go in addition i wanted to get back at mason so i turned my attention to david

carolyn laughed oh if you could have known how crazy mason was when he found out that i started dating with david and so david has no idea he's raising a non-native son ask the ant with a smile of course not he's so trusting well talk the women didn't notice david who came up from behind them with a huge bouquet of flowers well he said it's good relief that nothing needs explaining now david you've got it all wrong ike i'll explain carolyn whispered confusedly i got it all wrong before and now it's all falling into place

happy birthday david handed the jubilee flowers then turned around and walked away carolyn rushed after him grabbed his arm began to beg to listen to her but he calmly pulled away the weeping woman and carolyn realized that she had made a mistake which could not be undone and david drove straight to mrs mitchell's house and asked the question that worried him is nicole alive don't keep quiet mrs mitchell i know everything i saw her and at night and check that she is not in the coffin i love your daughter and have loved only her all

these years david if you loved her then you wouldn't cheat on her how do you know that david looked up at her in a shame one evening when nicole was just visiting me she got a cell phone call it was your mistress she told nicole that she was expecting a child from you and that you love her nicole didn't tell me anything at the time she just went to her room she was gone for a long time i decided to look in and was horrified to see a handful of pills in her hands she had

already taken some and i called an ambulance to save my little girl do you realize i could have just lost her david sat with his head low and mrs mitchell ruthlessly continued oh david if you only knew how much she loved you then in the hospital she kept saying she didn't want to live anymore i suggested that she talk to you but she decided that since you had chosen someone else she wouldn't bother you you see she decided to set you free rightly or wrongly i supported her even though i knew full well that one

day the truth would come out and you'd find out where is nicole now i want to see her why to torture her again please david don't disturb her life i won't give her up to anyone david shook his head and i'll do anything to make her forgive me david she loves you she still can't get over you but whether she'll forgive you i don't know mrs mitchell's side and gave her a dress hearing the doorbell ring nicole opened the door and immediately went pale as chalk in front of her stood david her first and only

love which she had never managed to erase from her memory they stared at each other in silence never taking their eyes off each other finally nicole pulled herself together and asked why did he come to tell you that i love you and always have i made a terrible mistake once and i'll never forgive myself for it nicole i beg you every day to forgive me go away i don't believe you you killed her love and i buried it look what i have this is proof our love cannot be buried nicole looked and recoiled when she

saw the very photo albums and the scarlet box she had once buried please david go away i won't ruin your family you have a child no family and no baby she deceived me he's not my son that doesn't change anything so once again please go away bitterly said nicole and close the door but david did not move away he lowered himself along the wall and sat on the floor wrapping his arms around his knees he knew firmly that he would do anything to get nicole back and felt that there behind the door she was just

like him sitting on the floor and listening to the beating of her heart he had been hurting three years passed david and were taking a walk in the park not far from their house little some was sleeping soundly in a stroller which david rolled in front of him he put his other arm around his wife's newly rounded waist purling how lucky i am to have you in my life david said stopping and kissing nicole i've been so stupid and blind but now i will do anything to make you and our children happy and i love

you david you know i felt so bad without you for those few awful years that nicole please don't remember i won't forget for the rest of my life what i owe you nicole smiled looking into her husband's eyes and said well everyone in life can make mistakes yes but not everyone can forgive david replied and hugged his wife again
