It was Nadia's birthday and she was officially 8 years old. Mama had made her favorite dish while Papa took her in town and declared that it was her day so she could get anything she wanted. She settled on a book which Papa happily bought her. "Благодаря ти татко, обичам ви" she told him with a smile so bright it lighten up her face. Papa smile at her and pull her in for a hug "Всичко за вас Надя."
Later at night when her parents thought she was in bed sleeping. She overheard them talking and it wasn't what she expected. "Така ще можем някога я разкажа за Катерина?" she heard her mama ask papa. Nadia was confused who was Katerina mama was talking about. Nadia could see everything from where she was hiding and she saw papa's forehead vein pop. That was never a good sign. "Тя не е достатъчно възрастен, за да знаете!" he yelled at mama. Nadia flinched at the yelling while Mama hushed Papa reminding him that that she was 'in' bed.
The next sentence completely shocked her and something she wouldn't never forget it for her eventually immortal life. "Надя ще узнае истината за Катерина като майка си" Mama gently told him. No that couldn't possible since to Nadia the woman who had raised her for 8 years was her mama. Not this Katerina who Nadia didn't even know. Suddenly Nadia began to feel sense of confusion and a void over this lady mama claimed to be her biological mother.
"Знам, че тя ще се научат истината, но Надя винаги ще бъде моето малко момиченце. Не виждаш ли, Катерина ни даде подарък, въпреки че тя costed я." Papa told Mama and Nadia swore she saw tears forming in his eyes. Papa rarely cried the only time Nadia could recalled him crying was when Mama lost a baby.
"Когато тя е по-голямо ще разказваме си." That was last of the converstation that she could take before she went back to her bedroom. Nadia collapsed on her bed and started crying into a pillow. She couldn't believe the people she called Mama and Papa weren't her real parents. They had lied to her and apparently she had an another mama out there in the world. Much as she loved her parents Nadia couldn't understand why she felt abandon. Wasn't she good enough for this Katerina lady? Nadia made a silence promise to herself right there and then. She would find this Katerina person and demand a answer from her because after all she did owe her that much.
The dialogue is in Bulgarian and straight from a Google translator so if you want to decode it. Go ahead and I may expand this depending on where this go with the reviews and all. Since we don't that much about Nadia human life if I ever explored that. It'll be purely fictional as it comes from my imagination. So leave a review and tell me what you think of Nadia when she was 8.
