Nora hurry up and clean up the storm shouted Patricia the manager of the restaurant where Nora was working as a cleaner okay I'll just finish up here and but Patricia didn't let her finish you should be quicker in the kitchen but you're like a slob and Klutz you've been hired out of Charity and you're working through your sleeves these unfair words brought tears to Nora's eyes it's not true I do my best to get everything done as quickly as possible Patricia became even angrier at Nora are you going to snap at me if I wanted
to you'd be fired in a heartbeat understand Nora nodded gathered her buckets and Rags silently and moved toward the storeroom she was insanely tired at this job it was so hard that on some nights she woke up with an ache in her arms the owner economized on the staff and on the days when there was an event in the restaurant Nora was simply devastated her job was not only to wash the floors Nora had to clean everything around the restaurant help peel and wash vegetables be on hand for any purpose Nora's salary however was very
good for a cleaner this was the reason she was willing to put up with everything in addition there were other advantages first the restaurant was a five-minute walk from her home and secondly she could eat there for free this was the most important plus the thing was that Nora tried to save up for her dream as much as possible if you looked at Nora from the right she was an ordinary even pretty girl but if you looked at her from the left you could see a huge birthmark almost all over her cheek sometimes she let
her hair down on that side and it was not so frightening to people around her but Nora was terribly embarrassed by this and did not even go to college after school because of this birthmark she could never get a proper job and because of it according to Nora she ended up in an orphanage Sonora's main dream was to get rid of that birthmark Nora the girl heard Patricia's angry shout and from unexpectedness she even jumped up and banged her head painfully on the Shelf haven't you finished here yet I don't understand why they pay you
such a salary there's no deep snow outside you know it's a wedding day so everything has to be perfect I have just a little left to clean up the closet and I'll go straight outside said Nora and Patricia walked away with a smirk meanwhile on the other side of the city Rosemary was looking at herself in the mirror she could not believe that today she was really getting married the girl smiled at her reflection in the mirror and spun around the wedding dress rustled quietly around her legs am I really the prettiest she asked and
her father Sherwood smiled affectionately not just the prettiest but the most gorgeous and that's out of the question haven't you forgotten that you became the beauty queen of the University of course Rosemary remembered it perfectly she should because there she had met William who would become her husband today William was not a student at the University he was a sponsor a successful businessman like a boy fell in love with a young winner Rosemary at first was wary of the rich man's advances but William was persistent he showed himself as a reliable calm and at the
same time strong and firm man he was mature which was very different from her peers having realized what kind of man William was Rosemary allowed herself to fall in love too they were a beautiful couple and how happy were Rosemary's parents her mother did not get tired of repeating you're so clever dear such a profitable match but Rosemary only laughed back and told her mother that she would marry William even if he did not have a penny but that would have been foolish you need to Value yourself objected her mother seriously Rosemary didn't like her
mother valuing everything with money but she had always been like that her father on the contrary was a gentle kind and unselfish man and rosemary loved him for that and pitted him very much it seemed to her that he had never contradicted his wife although he held a senior position and was entirely different at work one day Rosemary saw him reprimanding a subordinate to be honest if she had not seen it with her own eyes that it was her father she would never have believed it arriving to the restaurant a little early Rosemary's mother Eleanor
walked between the tables one more time and finally nodded contentedly to Patricia you have prepared everything perfectly Patricia smiled of course how could it be otherwise Eleanor looked at the administrator meaningfully the guests will be arriving in half an hour and I want everything to be all right from here on out Patricia tried to assure Eleanor that she had everything under control and Eleanor finally smiled she was pleased that a woman was so flattering yes she had gone the hard way to what she now had but thanks to her daughter's marriage Eleanor planned to go
one step higher all her life Eleanor had despised people who were not perfect she was convinced that a person should be perfect in everything whether he was a housewife or a big boss Eleanor went to a large mirror examined herself not a drop of fat an ideal figure perfect makeup and hair her husband wasn't perfect in every way if it were not for her he would hardly have achieved anything at all suddenly Eleanor heard car horns the woman smiled and went to meet the guests two hours later a disgruntled Patricia approached Nora hey there's a
broken bottle of champagne in the hall you need to clean it up Nora grabbed a dustpan bucket and broom and was just about to enter the Hall when Patricia called out to her again cover your face with something or you'll scare the guests who on Earth thought of hiring you to work in such a decent place Nora clenched her teeth so she wouldn't cry and with a familiar gesture she hid her birthmark behind the strands cautiously making her way between the guests Nora heard the announcement that the bride would be throwing the bouquet at the
moment wow I'd love to see the bride throw the bouquet too and she is as the waiter said beautiful the groom must be from some rich people they had such an expensive wedding thought Nora and noticing that Patricia was discussing something with the bartender she stood on tiptoes and raised her head to watch the throwing of the cherished bouquet the bride stood with her back to the guests while the presenter was counting out loudly one two three the bouquet flew up all the single ladies rushed to where it was supposed to fall but the bouquet
catching one of the chandeliers changed its flight path and fell directly on Nora she automatically grabbed it and froze everyone around her gasped and stared at her suddenly someone of the guests said no way look she looks like two peas in a pod like Rosemary this must be another practical joke Nora heard nothing she only saw Patricia approaching her white with anger the poor cleaner was horrified she even dropped the bouquet and was about to run into the back room but someone caught her by the arm Nora turned around the bride and groom was standing
in front of her Rosemary looked surprised and the groom's mouth dropped open in amazement and there was much to be surprised about it was as if Nora were looking at herself only with makeup and without the ugly birthmark who are you asked the bride loudly and there was silence in the hall I'm Nora but I'm sorry I have to go to work are you out of your mind do you realize that it's impossible for two people to be with the same face at that moment a pale Eleanor ran up to them Rosemary let's go it's
your wedding but you were making some proceedings here but Rosemary pulled out her hand and refused to go anywhere mum I'm not going anywhere it seems to me that if anyone can clarify anything it's only you and Daddy Eleanor grabbed her daughter's arm again but then Sherwood's voice came through clearly Eleanor but you told me the other girl was dead Nora slowly shifted her gaze from Eleanor to Sherwood she finally began to make sense of what was happening tears flowed from her eyes she looked painfully straight into Eleanor's eyes are you the one who abandoned
me because I was born ugly don't worry about it I'm not going to rush to my relatives just now at least I know the face of the one who gave birth to me and then abandoned Nora shouted and ran out of the hall knocking over a bucket of water on the way she grabbed her jacket and left the restaurant choking back tears Nora sobbed all night until she was exhausted and then she suddenly realized that nothing had happened she had suspected before that her parents had abandoned her because of that birthmark and now she just
knew who they were that the pain was she wasn't born alone and the fact that she was now out of a job Nora didn't notice how she fell asleep she was awakened by a persistent ring on the doorbell the girl opened and saw Rosemary and her husband on the doorstep hello may we come in Nora stepped back in silence she had no idea why these people had come but she really hoped they would leave sooner Williams sat down in a chair and rosemary remained standing Nora I understand everything you're feeling right now although I can't
even imagine how this could happen at all I can't believe that my parents could you know for me my world collapsed yesterday Rosemary wiped away her tears and William took her hand and continued for his wife anyway Nora my wife and I will not leave you we have money we'll pay for any treatment your friends at the restaurant told us that you're collecting money for that Nora did not have time to answer because the doorbell rang again I think I know who it is said Rosemary and went to open the door she came back already
with her father Sherwood had aged 10 years overnight he walked over to Nora looked at her for a long time then said I'm sorry daughter if only I had known when your mother was in labor I was on a business trip I was sent to the other side of the world for three months I wanted to say no but Eleanor insisted because it was a big step in my career she promised me that she would somehow manage without me and when I came back well she said that this this sometimes happens with twins a month
passed Nora was lying in the clinic waiting for surgery the doctor warned that it was a very complicated and not a quick process but Nora was up for anything her father and rosemary called her every day sometimes William picked up the phone and asked if she needed anything in general Nora felt very strange she was used to being alone and now she had so many close and caring people to help her in everything the door creeped open quietly Nora turned her head and froze her mother entered the room you know when you were born I
thought my life was ruined I imagined how everyone would point the finger at you and me how our family would be discussed and I wanted the perfect family I couldn't do otherwise I would have gone crazy for a long long time I couldn't sleep at night but then I convinced myself that I did the right thing now everything that was perfect that I had built for years has collapsed like it was nothing I'm judged even by Those whom I might say I spoon fed and then why did I need all this I understand that you
don't like to see me and I won't bother you but let me come and see you once in a while I can't visit you with my husband we have nothing else in common anymore Rosemary has turned her back on me you see all I have now is you the daughter I had once betrayed forgive me though I understand that such things cannot be forgiven the woman stood up and walked to the door there was no more proud posture no more head held high at the door she turned around and Nora said quietly that she would
welcome her visits there seemed to be a faint light in the woman's eyes and she smiled weekly thank you [Music]
