Ночной город был окутан тихим дождём, который шептал на крышах домов и убаюкивал уставшие улицы. Свет фонарей отражался в лужах, превращая асфальт в мерцающее полотно. В воздухе витал запах свежести и немного горечи от мокрых листьев. Пустынный рынок, с его навесами и прилавками, казался заброшенным островом среди городской суеты.
На этом рынке был мальчик по имени Дима. Ему было около десяти лет, маленький для своего возраста, с большими серыми глазами и тёмными растрепанными волосами. Его одежда была изношенной, местами в пятнах и заплатках, но он держался гордо, несмотря на это. Дима часто приходил сюда после школы — продавать собранные на улице старые книги или помогать торговцам за небольшую плату.
Сегодня его настроение было особенным — волнение смешивалось с лёгкой тревогой. У него за пазухой лежал найденный кошелёк, полный денег и кредитных карт. Мальчик нашёл его утром возле автобусной остановки и всё утро мучился вопросом: что с ним делать? Он знал, как сильно семья нуждается в деньгах, но воспитание не позволяло ему оставить находку себе.
На рынке было тихо — большинство торговцев уже ушли домой, остались лишь несколько постоянных покупателей. Дима заметил мужчину — статного, солидного, явно не местного. В его руках был зонт из дорогого материала. Мужчина выглядел потерянным и обеспокоенным.
«Извините», — нерешительно начал Дима, приближаясь к незнакомцу. Тот повернулся к нему лицом с недоверием.
«Да?» — сухо ответил мужчина.
«Я нашёл это», — мальчик протянул кошелёк.
Мужчина взял находку с подозрением, осмотрел её тщательно и вдруг замер. Он поднял глаза на Диму и вдруг стал серьёзным.
Окружающие торговцы начали перешёптываться между собой: «Кто этот парень? Зачем он пришёл сюда?» Никто не ожидал от него такого поступка — вернуть кошелёк безвозмездно.
Но вместо благодарности или денег мужчина молча достал из кошелька фотографию и протянул её Диме. Это была старая потёртая фотография женщины с добрыми глазами и мягкой улыбкой.
Дима почувствовал странную дрожь внутри себя. Женщина на фотографии была похожа на мать из его детских воспоминаний — той самой женщины, которую он никогда не знал лично.
Всё вокруг замерло в ожидании того, что будет дальше.
Мужчина осторожно наблюдал за реакцией мальчика. Тишина завладела пространством вокруг них так плотно, что казалось — даже дождь перестал шуршать по крыше. Люди вокруг невольно затаили дыхание.
«Где вы взяли это?» — хрипло спросил Дима, чувствуя как ком подступает к горлу.
«Это моя сестра», — ответил мужчина более мягко. «Она пропала много лет назад». Его глаза стали влажными от воспоминаний.
Остальные зрители начали переглядываться: такая развязка казалась невероятной. Оказывается, перед ними были не просто случайные люди на рынке: они были связаны какой-то глубокой тайной прошлого.
Мужчина рассказал о том дне много лет назад: сестра исчезла внезапно и никто не знал почему или куда она могла уйти. Единственное что осталось от неё — эта фотография в семейном альбоме.
«Я искал её по всему городу», — признался он голосом полным грусти и надежды одновременно. «Но все следы давно исчезли… Пока я не увидел тебя».
Тогда мальчик понял всё: эта женщина была его матерью! Он рос без неё всю жизнь у дяди; отец ушёл ещё до рождения Димы…
Слёзы покатились по щекам мальчика; рядом стоящие люди чувствовали тяжесть момента каждой клеткой тела…
Теперь стало ясно почему мужчина так холодно встретил возвращение своего имущества: дело было вовсе не в деньгах!
Собравшись духом перед лицом ошеломляющей правды (и толпы), мальчик наконец произнёс через слёзы:
«Что же теперь?»
Вокруг заговорили все сразу:
— «Он должен помочь!»
— «Это же чудо!»
— «Какое счастье найти семью!»
— «Но как она здесь оказалась?»
— «Кто знает всю историю?»
Рынок превратился в гул эмоций; каждый хотел добавить что-то своё…
Бизнесмен вдохнул глубже:
— У нас много дел впереди… Но главное сейчас – разобраться во всём спокойно… Ты ведь согласен?
