Larisa stood by the window, gazing at the gray clouds drifting lazily across the sky. Only three months ago, she had been a radiant newlywed, full of excitement and optimism. Now, she felt more like a servant in her own home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The morning started like every other, with that familiar sharp knock on the bedroom door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAre you two planning to sleep all day?\u201d her mother-in-law\u2019s voice pierced through the quiet. \u201cAndryusha, sweetheart, you\u2019re going to be late for work!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Larisa exhaled softly. As usual, Tamara Ivanovna seemed to ignore her entirely, directing all her attention at her beloved son. Andrey stretched, yawned, and sluggishly got out of bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDid you pack him something for lunch?\u201d his mother was already clattering around in the kitchen. \u201cI hope you didn\u2019t make one of those fancy salads again. A real man needs something filling\u2014like borscht!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI made some yesterday,\u201d Larisa thought, but kept quiet. Three months of marriage had taught her how to swallow her frustration, just like a bitter pill\u2014unpleasant but necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
