Part 7: The Meeting at the Café
The following morning, Nelli arrived at a small café near the clinic.
She looked exhausted. Her eyes were swollen, and she kept looking toward the entrance.
— Thank you for coming, she whispered.
I sat opposite her.
— You have five minutes. Tell me the truth.
She wrapped both hands around her coffee cup.
— Ádám told me that everything would be simple. He said he would help me become a mother, and that you would eventually accept it.
— And you believed him?
She shook her head.
— At first, yes. But things changed after I became pregnant.
I leaned forward.
— What changed?
Nelli looked down.
— He started making promises. Promises about our future, about the baby, and about what would happen after your wedding.
My heart began pounding.
— What promises?
She opened her handbag and took out a folded document.
— I think you need to read this.
