And once Solomonida (as so David lovingly called her) cooked dinner in the kitchen, writing a post for her blog «Everything for the Blondes» and being hung up on a phone call with a friend.

Suddenly, the Ukrainian borsch, which her husband loved so much, began to boil out of the pan directly onto a clean, brand new cooker, washed to a lovely sheen on the eve.

– Shit! – Sonechka cursed out, threw the phone on the open laptop and fo- cused on her borsch.

After the minor kitchen troubles had been eliminated, she returned to the computer and – oh, what the hell! Its screen was black. Deciding that it was hibernating, she rebooted it, but that did not change the situation.

It would seem that the problem could be solved easily by calling her husband or waiting for his return from the office.

But given the fact that three days before, Sofia had cracked his ride all to hell, after which a new one was already bought, since the first one was be- yond repair, the woman felt a certain danger, and decided to deal with the com- puter herself.

Julia carefully examined the laptop, pushed some buttons on it, but to no avail:

And this laptop is so sophisti- cated, and it’s David’s favorite one. I think this time there will be a big scandal.

– Come on, everything will work out like the last time. Do you remember when you set fire to your country house, on forgetting to turn off the iron? In general, if I were you, I would buy a new computer, just like this one, maybe David would not notice the substitution.

– Exactly! Why have not I thought of it myself? Let’s google the store and go for a new laptop until my husband returns.

So they did. However, they decided not to buy it at the store, they found a used computer by a private announcement on the Avito site, went shopping, but forgot to move the damaged laptop from the table.

It was necessary to go to the suburbs of Moscow, through trafic, by poor roads full of potholes. Therefore, the round trip took them much more time than they had expected:
