George's village was beautiful, with many beautiful meadows, many forests, fertile soil, many natural beauties, but there was no work there, and in the cities, the industry began to develop, to open factories, to hire workers from towns and villages. . And George wanted to change his life, he no longer wanted to work in the countryside, in the fields, and so he wanted to find work. George thought he was an adult and had to work, earn and stand on his own two feet, he did not want to be a burden to his mother Elizabeth anymore. The nearest town to his village was a very small town and in it, all the people were known, all the people from the town and from the nearest villages, as well as the village of George. After George decided that he wanted a change in his life, that he wanted a job, he decided to get serious about it. And so Sunday came, after he told Elizabeth and Stephen that he wanted to find a job, and they did not take him very seriously, but at a Sunday lunch with the family, George said to them: "My dear family, I am tomorrow morning. I get up early. " Elizabeth added: "Son, we get up early every morning, we live in the countryside and in the countryside, we get up early because there is work." George replied, "Yes, mother, but I get up early tomorrow, get ready and go to town to look for work. I'm serious about this." Elizabeth replied sadly and anxiously, "All right, son, as you have decided, so be it, but do not be disappointed if you do not find a job." George replied firmly, "I have already decided." Monday came George got up early in the morning like every morning, but this morning was full of hope, hope for a new life. Elizabeth prepared breakfast for George and Stephen, and early in the morning her voice was heard: "Come on, my children, breakfast is ready." George got ready to shave, put on new clothes, and sat down at the table. When Stephen saw how middle-aged George was, he joked, "Brother, you're a real actor." Elizabeth laughed, she was very happy that George wanted to stand on his own two feet, she was very happy that he wanted to keep fighting in life despite everything. Then Elizabeth said, "Mother's beautiful son, he will succeed." George had breakfast and then said to his mother Elizabeth, "Come on mom, go out, wish me luck and bless me." Elizabeth replied, "Immediately, son." And so Elizabeth kissed George, wished him luck, blessed him, and on his way out poured a glass of water to make him flow like water. George set out in the hope of a new future, in the hope of a new life. George went to town, to the town closest to his home village. George went wherever he needed workers, but wherever he was seen he was not given a job. People in the small town and knew he was a former prisoner. Some of the employers even treated him rudely and told him that he had no job because he was a former prisoner. Everywhere he knocked, his door was locked, and George was broken. George did not even expect his life to be talked about in the city, he was very disappointed. George returned home so disappointed, he was tired of everything, he fought for his homeland, he fought bravely, he was unjustly accused and because of that he went to prison and he was tortured a lot, and now he is guilty again he was not even given a job because he is a former prisoner. George started to get very angry, he was no longer the same. He became very angry because he was unjustly accused, but worst of all he was still being accused. George was angry with everyone, he talked to himself, he could not come to terms with the injustice that had happened to him, but worst of all it was that injustice still existed in his life. George could not come to terms with all this, he lost and pride was blamed on everyone, and he did nothing wrong, he just fought bravely for his homeland. He was tormented by the thought of how long it would be like this if it would be like this all his life. George simply wanted to stop persecuting the past, he wanted to stop being a former prisoner. And so George came home, Elizabeth was waiting for him in the yard, she was washing the sheets. When Elizabeth saw George so disappointed and angry, and at the same time very sad, she asked him: "What is it, son, did he not find a job"? George replied: "I did not find a mother, everyone is avoiding me, I am a former prisoner." Elizabeth seemed to have a premonition that George would not find a job, she knew that the people of the town had learned his story, but not the true side of the story.Of course, the real side of the story was completely different, he was not guilty of anything, he was just unjustly accused and unjustly imprisoned. Although George was finally released after many years in prison, he could not clean his cheek. Elizabeth knew deep down that this was going to happen. Elizabeth was very sorry to see such George as if all his hopes had been dashed, so she said to him: "Son, do not worry, you will find a job, things will be sorted out, as it should be, do not worry.". George was very worried after all, he cared about his future, he thought he could not start a new life, that there could be no future. George had been looking for work all morning that day, and when he was so rudely expelled from everywhere, when his doors were closed from everywhere he became very angry, and then he became very disappointed. When he got home it was already noon he did not want to say anything to his mother Elizabeth but he had to because if he did not tell her she would find out about the situation from someone else. He did not want to tell his mother Elizabeth so as not to worry her, but she knew deep down that it would happen. After entering the yard so disappointed and telling his mother the bad news, he immediately entered the house and went straight to his room, lay down on the bed, and began to cry. George cried like a small child, he felt helpless as if there was no one to help him, he was denigrated in front of people, he was a former prisoner. George cried out loud and said only one thing: "Why?" He constantly wondered why, why he has such a bad fate, the hero who bravely fought for his homeland was condemned by everyone, by his fellow villagers, friends, and even some relatives, but not by his family. Elizabeth saw how he came from the city and realized that George was very sad and after a while, she entered the house and went to his room and wanted to enter but standing at the door he heard George crying and changed his mind he did not enter. Elizabeth's heart was pounding for George, she thought, "My child, what a miserable fate! Lord, protect my child. Give him luck because I can no longer see him like this." Elizabeth was too worried about George, about how he would deal with all the injustice that had happened to him, how he would build a new future. Elizabeth began to think and it occurred to her that she might go to live in the city of Maria, that city is further away and a bigger city, the people there do not know George, but she thought first to see what decision George would make, and then tell him about the idea. Elizabeth made lunch and invited Stephen and George to lunch. When George heard his mother's voice, he entered the room and said, "I am not hungry, mother, I do not want to eat." Elizabeth replied: "Come on son, do not worry eat, you will get sick if you do not eat, see how weak and weak you are". They sat down to lunch and Elizabeth asked George, "Son, what are you planning to do tomorrow? Are you planning to go to town again?" George replied: "Yes mother, I do not give up so easily I will look for a job tomorrow. "Tomorrow I will get up again early in the morning and go to town." Elizabeth said, "Okay son, but don't be disappointed again if you can't find a job." George replied, "I promise you mother I don't ." And so that day passed the next day George got up early again and went back to town to look for work. George did not want to give up so easily, he was a fighter he did not give up. Although he could not admit it to himself, for him life in his native village or the nearest town was already impossible because there he could no longer build any future. It may not have been clear to George, but Elizabeth was crystal clear about the whole situation about George's life and his future, so she thought it best to go to Maria's town. George knocked on the door again and asked for a job, but again he was rejected everywhere, his doors were closed from everywhere. Wherever he asked, they told him there was no work for him, it was obvious why he was not hired anywhere. Another difficult day for George, he was disappointed again. And so George returned home disappointed and without a glimmer of hope, but this time he was not angry but sad and pensive as if he could not find a way out of the situation he was in. When he arrived home his mother Elizabeth saw him and after his expression on his face realized that he had not found a job, she thought now was the right time to tell him what she had thought. Elizabeth, George, and Stephen sat down to lunch at the table, George was constantly imagined as if constantly wondering what is the way out of this situation. Elizabeth said to him, "Son, I thought there was a solution to your problem. Don't worry, we are a family and we will help you." George asked her so surprised: "What is the solution, mother?" Elizabeth began to say: "Son, it is best for you to go to the city where Maria lives, it is a big city where people do not know you and it is far from here, and maybe Maria's husband John will help you with something." George said to her, "Well done, mother, but I do not want to bother anyone. Maria has three children, and you know what poverty she lives in." Elizabeth added: "Son, we will send her a letter first if she agrees to take you to visit her while you are doing well, she is your sister and she will surely want to help you." George said: "Well, mother, we will do that, we will write her a letter today and I will take it to the post office tomorrow, I hope she will accept me as a guest for a while." And so they did, George and Elizabeth wrote a letter to Maria that day, and the next day George went to town and delivered the letter to Maria in the mail. And they just had to wait for an answer from Maria, they were waiting for two weeks. Maria lived in a larger town away from her home village, she had three children, one of whom was the child of her first husband. Her husband John was a city man before he married Maria he was married to another woman also named Maria. John Maria's first wife gave birth to a child named Tom, while Tom was a small baby her parents contracted tuberculosis and she went to take care of them, but caring for and caring for them she also contracted tuberculosis and soon illness Maria's first wife and her parents and siblings all died of that horrible disease. It was a great tragedy Maria died as a young mother of a small baby and also her whole family, her parents, and her siblings. John got over it very hard because it was his first love and also the mother of his first child, it took him a long time to recover. After some time, after thinking for a long time, he realized that his child needed a mother, and he needed a housewife who would take care of the house for him and his little child. So John decided to remarry, found out about Maria, and went to look for her. John went to the village and asked for Maria's hand from her mother Elizabeth, Maria, although she did not know him very well and liked him and said "Yes", immediately afterward Maria and John went to his hometown. There she cared for his son Tom, cooked delicious meals, cared for the house, cleaned, washed, ironed, and cared for her husband, John. Maria cared for Tom as if she were her own child, she loved him very much, after a short time she became pregnant and gave birth to a son named Jack, then became pregnant again and gave birth to two beautiful twins, but one of the twins died at the age of two and only one remained a twin named Catherine. George knew what was going on in Maria's life, but after he left for the war they never saw each other again, they had not met for exactly thirteen years. His sister Maria wrote letters to him while George was in prison, but they did not give the letters to the prisoners. Maria lived in a very old house in the city, John was a postman delivering letters, and Maria was a housewife, she occasionally sewed dresses for rich ladies from the city for money of course. In the house where Maria and John lived, they had empty rooms that they rented out because living in the city was difficult and they had three children, they needed money for clothes and food for the children.
