Middleman of two worlds

' 1'

      It all started in rainy afternoon, it was Henrich's last lesson - the lesson he loved the most - history. There was no certain explanation why he loved history that much, but he could listen to his teacher Mr. Lerington talking about all kind of historical events for hours. That day Mr. Lerington talked about Second World war and he was just about to finish the lesson, when suddenly Henrich's phone rang. Henrich was surprised because he didn't know anyone, who could call him while he is at school. His father died when he was only 5 years old and he had no other relatives except his mother and sullen uncle, who knew that he had lessons at this time of the day. It was his inner feeling that told him that something is wrong. He picked the phone up.    '' Hello, am I talking to Henrich Warswoon?'' the young lady's voice said.

''Yes, why are you calling me ?'' said Henrich in a shaky voice.

''It's about your mother, you should come home as soon as possible'' said the lady.

''What? What's wrong with her ? ''said Henrich, but there was no response.

''Tell me what's wrong with my mother ?'', yelled Henrich.

''Calm down, I will tell you once you will be home'', the lady responded and ended the call.

When he raised his head, he saw that the whole class was looking at him in shock, especially Mr. Lerington and his best friend Adam, but Henrich didn't care what others were thinking, he quickly grabbed his bag and ran out of the classroom. He was so immersed in thoughts about the unexpected call, that he didn't  even notice that he was already in the bus on his way to home. As he drove, he watched raindrops bouncing against the window. Next thing he remembered was the sound coming from the bus speakers '' Westelton street''. He got out of the bus and quickly ran up the stairs to the door of his apartment. He took a deep breath and knocked. The young lady opened the door, it was the same lady who called him. The lady wanted to say something, but Henrich immediately interrupted her ''What's wrong with my mother? Is she sick? What's wrong with her ? '' he yelled, because he could't held his emotions any longer.

''Henrich, I'm truly sorry to say this to you, but your mother has died from a sudden heart attack, I'm really sorry.'' said the lady.

As soon as the lady said the words ''your mother has died'' Henrich stiffened, he could't hear what lady said to him, he didn't hear how sorry she was about the whole situation, he just stood there frozen like stone for some moment, before tears began to fall over his cheeks.
