Marriage and New Brand-name Establishments

- What a surprise to see you here. How many ages, since we’ve last seen, what’s new? - Oh, a lot of things. We’ve moved to another city, it’s much more comfortable to live in a city, not in countryside. It’s faster to get to the job, there are much more amusements and children are enraptured with their new school! - As for me, I don’t agree with you that live in the city is much easier, it’s healthier to live in the countryside, and, besides, what happened to you? I remember, that you had told, that you’ll never move to another place. We were all delighted about our city after graduation.

By the way it has changed much. - You see, life moves fast, so I try to be in the swim. Now I think it’s time to move in the cities, it’s much more interesting there, much more employment prospects. And how are you? - I have left in our town after graduation. My life has changed a lot. We were graduated as lawyers, but then I realized that law is not something for me, so I became a designer. - Oh, dear, what you are talking about? Are there any other women who would graduate from university of law and become a designer? Oh, well, you’ve always amazed me with your decisions.

So, I see you’ve got married as well. - Yes, do you remember Harry? Our group mate? He is my husband. - Oh, what a surprise, my congratulations! Is he is still working as a legal assistant? - No, he is a court-appointed attorney. He used to work hard, finally he got this high position, I’m so proud of him. - You seem to have a very happy family life. I have never thought that you would become such a nice and adorable wife, you used to tell, that you’re going to take up the world as the best lawyer the earth ever seen and now you tell me, that you’re married and proud of your husband making your career. I do, I used to work as attorney as well, but I have left the job, because it’s very difficult for me to combine job and family. Now I am making some money on the side being a designer for one of those new brand-name establishments in our town. For me it’s very important to be a good wife, and, by the way, we’re waiting a baby. - Are you serious? Such a great piece of news! My congratulations. And as for me, I’ve got divorced. My husband didn’t like that I’m working so much, it was the time, when I was coming up to the world, I didn’t like the idea to risk with my career for living with him, so it was the end. But I know that you have a wonderful daughter, how old is she? - She is nine. We’ve got divorced after her birth. It was a good experience for me. I will not marry anyone, who’s going to teach me how to live. - You sound very independent. Are you really happy being single, I mean are you really sure of that kind, that happiness is when you’re making up your career and there’s no man in your life, who would take care of you? - Oh no, I just don’t want to live with somebody, who thinks, that my opinion is not that important as his.

As for family, I hope to meet somebody, a true love, you see, and I feel, that this moment is quite near. - You’re right, and I’m sure, you’ll meet it very soon. Do you remember Patrick? - Oh yes, that boy from our group, that I used to like so much. - He was quite interested, when he heard that you’re coming to our city and he wants to see you. What do you think about going to an alumni reunion this evening? - I’d love to! I’ll be there. - Ok, see ya there, I’ll wait you in the hall at 6 pm - Ok)
