You ran away.
And? Hi.
Hi.
A lot has changed.
So it has we haven't seen each other for Father died.
Three years ago And you? I make teddy bears.
What happened to your former plans? The university the things you wrote? I gave it up.
What about this? Want anything to eat? Or maybe some tea? She's asleep.
Perhaps I'd better take to bed? No.
She's happy.
Just look at her Do you still remember me? No.
I paid a lot for it but it's all right now.
Do they know? No.
I picked her up at the theater.
Mother was running about like crazy Stumbled against a step nearly fall down the stairs Why are you speaking of her like this? You should be glad to hear it It started some time ago I think I hate her.
You haven't changed.
Or maybe there are just the two extremes.
Just the two For today, the situation is that I took Ania with me I won't give her back I first thought about it some three or four years ago I'm not a good girl in a dark blue skirt anymore.
The girl who fell in love with her Polish teacher Just because what he said was different.
You still have lots of chances.
You haven't stolen anything or killed anybody.
Is it possible to steal your own property? I don't know.
I guess not.
This means I haven't stolen anything.
Yeah.
And as for killing.
Yes, I think I could kill her.
It isn't much that you know about your mother.
I've only just learned quite recently What? Why she's like that.
After I was born she could have no more children.
This means it was because of me in away But she always wanted children I know that And then, when Ania was born You see this does explain a thing or two.
There was another person, too who agree that arrangement.
I was only sixteen then.
Jaenne d'arc hadn't been much older You said that before They said they meant well I should finish school and so on.
It's only now that I know they really after the baby.
And there was that scandal at school, too.
Ahe was the headmistress I was a young teacher And you went to the same school But you mattered most The moment you ought to have said you wanted that baby to You said nothing I couldn't.
You couldn't? You were involved, too.
Mother said, "if you don't want trouble for seducing a minor If you want still to be a teacher keep quiet.
" Am I right? Ss that what she told you? I overheard her say that to father it's just like hear You knew she'd do it.
She said it to your father? Yes.
Was she lying? Just a little.
To be frank, I never thought This could be arranged like that in Poland That your own child is officially registered as somebody Of course it can be arranged.
All it takes is a doctor you know that particular doctor Did not know what he was doing and that was that.
I usually take a nap in the afternoon.
An hour or so O.
k.
, take it.
There's no reason why you should change your routine Now I think it's good she agreed then This way, I have my ease Yes And I won't trouble you too long.
Are you going away? Yes.
I'm making an excursion to Romania.
In summer.
Let me see your passport it's long since I've seen such a Here.
What's this? A certificate stating that I gave birth to a baby six years What about your mother? Is she willing to give you the girl back? Mother? Yes.
Mother.
She'll have to You'd never believe it I never knew she could be so tender and loving.
She never gave that to me.
