World Anti-DrugTransnational Internet contest - "Maya"

There is a saying, that every bullet has its bullet. I visited my husband’s house three times before we actually met. When I suffered from my miserable love, my friends tried to distract me somehow and wanted to introduce their friend Eduard, but we never managed to catch him at home. They highly praised this person, and I do understand why. He was a good friend and a very kind person. However, he didn’t become my husband in the end. Later, especially when my husband betrayed me, I thought: “Why wasn’t this guy at home all at the time?” 

The man, I’ve lived my whole life with came to it accidentally. At the time I was already injecting and earned good money. Once, I traveled to Przhevalsk with one familiar guy. We called him Tatarin, he was so in love with me, but didn’t even guessing that I used drugs. He knew that I was submitting the documents to the correspondence department at my Institute, since we didn’t have something like that in the city I lived. Indeed it was a part of my goal- but actually I came there to get opium.

While he stayed in the hotel, I bought the huge volume of opium. Later, it turned out that police was following me from the place, where I bought it, and we were detained at the bus station. He took over my guilt, cause he loved me and got in jail for 2 years. Every week I visited him, and promised that we would register our marriage in the colony and I would definitely do it, cause I was thankful that he saved me from jail.

Ten days before the 1980, I received a mail, with information that he was moved to the colony. I quickly grabbed the New Year gifts and send them to him. However, he said that for the people, who met and supported him there, he needed drugs and money. I had no problems in finding them, but how could I pass it? There was a barrack regulation before the holiday, therefore it was absolutely impossible to pass it somehow.

I started to search for any possible ways and solutions. I was advised to talk to one person, who could help me. I looked for him everywhere, at all the addresses where he might be. Once, I came to of the addresses with my brother, but we were told that there was no such a person. We just left the house, when two guys reached us. The tall guy pulled my brother aside to talk, and another blondy one stayed with me. He only introduced himself as Sasha. Luckily I started telling him who was I and why I needed that guy. I didn’t even notice the threat from their side. My fast speech made him stop. We agreed to meet on the other day. He called his friend and they left.

Only then I realized that they wanted to rob us. They already knew that I had money and gold. This meeting predetermined the rest of my life.
