6 Months later

On a clear morning in August sunlight came through the window and a soft mist enveloped the village of Zelenogradsk. Antonina Tushenka opened the window curtain.In front of him lay the scenery of the village that stretched wide, beautiful, and beautiful. Antonina and her husband Petro have no children.

Petro Tushenka has a large tall body, blue eyes, a nose that is not too sharp, blonde hair, white skin and has red spots on his cheeks working as a farmer. Their family owns the Silverbell Farms estate. The vegetables and fruits they grow are well known throughout the village of Zelenogradsk, because they are of excellent quality.

Antonina, his wife working as a housewife sometimes also helps her husband work in the garden. She is a loving and patient woman. He was tall in stature with brownish hair and gray eyes. They have lived in this village since they were born. The garden in front of his house was blushed in the growth by the blooming of flowers with various colors.

The morning mist then slowly left the village and the sun began to appear at the foot of the sky. The sound of birds chirping and chicken crowing is heard getting louder indicating the morning has come. The village of Zelenogradsk is now illuminated by the morning sun that reveals the real rural atmosphere . Beautiful and peaceful.

Antonina came out of the house breathing fresh morning air. The smell of trees and flowers carried by the wind. The lives of Thusenka's husband and wife today will feel different, as they will have something they've been craving for all this time and will also change their lives.

When Antonina was about to go back into her house to prepare breakfast, she faintly heard the sound of a crying baby. At first he didn't care about it and he thought it was just the sound of the wind, but the baby's cry was getting louder and he was pretty sure this time it wasn't misheard. He looked for the baby's voice and his eyes were fixed on the apple tree in the garden behind his house and underneath there was something like a basket. He immediately approached the apple tree. Antonina could not believe what she had seen.

A beautiful baby girl was crying, and she was carrying the baby and she was trying to find the person who put it here. Antonina found a piece of paper. He took it and read it.

The boy's name is Lizzie.

His eyes traced every corner of the plantation around his house, but found no one suspected. The baby kept crying in his cradle.

''Sweet boy don't cry. You must be hungry, right?''

The baby was immediately brought into the house. Antonina immediately prepares milk for the baby, because at home she does not have baby milk, she was forced to give fresh cow milk that had just been squeezed by her husband at dawn.Petro who had just given food to his horses was surprised to see there was a baby in his house.

''Whose baby is this?''

The baby laughed at Petro as if he knew that Petro was his father.

''Oh that, I just found it under an apple tree in the back garden of the house. I pity to see her keep crying like she's hungry, so I brought her in."

Petro held the baby and the baby was comfortable in his cradle. ''I think we should take him to the police station and look for his real parents."

At 9 am a couple Tushenka went to the police station with a baby and of course could not be separated from the attention of the surrounding people, because the villagers already know each other.

There is the slightest problem or there is a strange thing that is being experienced by one of the neighbors, they will quickly find out. What's more now the villagers see Antonina and her husband carrying a baby .The shock and great curiosity were clearly visible on their faces.

The distance between the house and the police station is quite far. They drive using buckies pulled by stallions. The unusual thing about Rothchild's husband and wife did not go unnoticed by Xena Watson who was Thusenka's closest neighbor. He was Antonina's best friend .

At that time Xena who was cleaning her garden with her husband, Thomas Watson saw a bugi carriage driven by Petro passing right in front of her eyes. ''Hey, you see that! Antonina's carrying a baby. Who do you think is the baby?''

''Where do I know. You don't just keep taking care of other people, now finish your work, because soon the tea show will start."

Xena looked at her husband with an annoyed look. It did not take long to gossip about the baby owned by husband and wife Thusenka began to spread throughout the village. They began to be scattered everywhere.In short the baby has become the talk of the entire village of Zelenogradsk.

Antonina was helped by her husband Petro to get off the train and into the police station. Inside looked so busy that their presence was slightly neglected. In fact, they had to wait a bit longer until there were officers from the police serving them. Finally a well-built and mustachioed policeman approached them.

''Is there anything I can help?''.

Antonina glanced at her husband and Petro understood that his wife wanted him to report about the baby they had found.

''We would like to report this morning that my wife found this baby in the back garden of our house and we want to find out who her parents are."

The policeman quickly typed in a statement from Petro.

''And what was the name of the baby?''

Adelaine and Kevin looked at each other and then looked at the baby his wife was holding.''Lizzie," Antonina replied.

''I've typed all your reports regarding the baby. It may take a long time to find his parents or his family.For the time being you should take care of him until his family is found, if you do not want to take care of him, you can leave him in the orphanage."

''An orphanage?'' exclaim Antonina.''Not let me take care of him. I can't bear to see a baby as beautiful and funniest as this was put in an orphanage.Petro let me take care of him. We think of this baby as our son. How?''

''Alright. We'll both take care of her."

''Oh, thank you dear."

''Mr. Thusenka, please sign this report."

Petro affixed his signature steadily and there was no hesitation. They're back home. Before returning home they went to the baby supply store and during the trip the baby chattered cheerfully. Antonina looked pleased and responded to his chatter. The 10-month-old baby has blue eyes.

''It looks like you are a very special child that God sent for us."

Antonina kissed the baby's cheek fondly.

Petro rides his buggy slowly and as comfortably as possible. Because it's so sunny today, Kevin wants to enjoy a walk outside. For a long time he had not gone for walks with his wife, because the work on the estate was so time-consuming that there was no chance to go on vacation or sightseeing with the family. The train was moving comfortably on the road.

Spruce trees and poplars lined the street and colorful wildflowers dotted the street.Cold breezes carried the sweet aroma of apple trees that were already visible before the eyes. The ripe Apple fruit makes people want to pluck it when passing through it.

''Petro, catch!''yell someone out of the apple orchard.

Mark Springfield, the American owner of the apple orchard, threw some apples at Petro.''Have a good day, Mark.

''Thank you, Petro, and he gave one of the apples Mark threw to his wife.

Their train had already passed through a hill and a vast lake . The water sparkled because of the sunlight. Petro's bugi train continues to gallop over the bridge .Winds move the lake's water. The lake is surrounded by a bunch of birch trees, so the lake looks shady.

''We will be home soon, ''' Petro said.

In front of the house were a few people. Antonina and her husband were surprised there were many people in her house. Petro helped his wife off the train. They let their guests in. The people who visited them were husband and wife Watson, brothers Javor and Selena Bulka, and Marina Moskal.

''Good day to you !''

Antonina said immediately. Xena approached him and saw the tiny baby being held.

Although the relationship between Xena and Antonina is not so familiar, but they always have a friendship, while Javor and Selena are twin brothers . They are both young . Both are 24 years old and Javor will soon marry his girlfriend from a neighboring village.

Javor worked at Silverbell Farms, helped Petro cultivate the estate and his sister Selena worked at a food store. Marina Moskal is an old woman who lives on the border of the village. She was already considered a mother by Antonina.

''All the villagers have been talking about you guys, so I came here to see the baby, Selena said.''I can't believe you're finally having a baby."

''This baby is a gift to us.''

Antonina answered Selena's question calmly.

''Beautiful baby,''timpal Javor.''Congratulations to Mrs Thusenka!"

''Thank you, Javor."

''Wait ! You intend to adopt this child, Xena asked as she looked at them. ''If you look at the look on your face it looks like it is."

''That's right Xena, we're both going to adopt this child. You know we have wanted to have a child for a long time and God has sent this child to us, Antonina said with eyes that sparkled with happiness.

''But you don't know where this child comes from and we don't know if this child comes from a good family.

''It doesn't matter to us that it's important that we love this child. Right babe?''

Antonina tried to seek her husband's approval.

''That's correct. We will love this child like our own."

Petro tried to defend his wife in front of Xena.

''Xena, you shall no longer interfere in their affairs. It was up to them to take care of the child or not, said Danko glancing at Xena, his wife furiously. Xena sighed then said, It seems that you guys have really decided to take care of the child. I hope the boy can be useful to you later. So what's the boy's name?''Xena asked.

''Lizzie, " said Antonina.

''What a great name" said Marina.

''I'm glad that you finally have a child said Marina smiling warmly.

''Welcome to our home, Lizzie!''exclamation Antonina

The baby laughed. They all ended up laughing. Now Thusenka's house isn't as lonely as it used to be. Now in the house there is always the cry of Lizzie which adds to the atmosphere of the house to feel more crowded. The wind blew like untain song welcoming Lizzie's arrival to this village.

🍎🍎🍎

A man in a black coat and wearing sunglasses watched the Thusenka family home from a distance using binoculars. A strong wind blew the man's coat and hair. The man smiled.

''Now the boy is safe in their hands. Goodbye to my Lady!''

The man came out of his hiding place behind the bushes. The man walked down a path through a small forest of birch trees not far from the Thusenka family home. He did not want to take the risk of walking on the main road that could attract the attention of the villagers.

The forest led to an open field with several houses standing there. Several giant apple trees grew along the path whose trees were filled with blooming flowers. The fragrant aroma of the flowers spread carried away by the wind.

In the distance behind the open field there is sparkling lake water surrounded by birch trees that rise to the sky. The man continued down the street in the open field and through the apple tree-grown garden until he finally arrived at the lake.

He walked along the lake to the end and finally he reached the main road that was already far from the settlement of the villagers. He got into his car and immediately left the village . On his face looks a little relieved, as his task of saving baby Aleandra and Dimitri goes smoothly.

At least the baby took good care of her. The car continued to drive out of the village through a row of houses that at that time the streets looked quiet because some residents were working on their respective plantations. An hour later the man had reached his destination town not far from the village of Zelenogradsk.

🍎🍎🍎

The man went to a small inn that he rented for a week and planned to return to Moscow. But in front of the small inn there had been a few people dressed in black waiting for him.

''Who are you guys? And what do you want?''

One of them put his gun on him.

''Follow us!'' And by being forced to follow the will of those who were dressed in black. They forced the man into the car. The car kept driving away from the city and they entered a forest area.

People from around the forest who heard the gun eruption immediately ran towards the forest and they found the body of the man. One of them checked it.

''He still has a pulse even though he feels weak. He's alive, we have to get him to the hospital immediately" one of the residents said.

The men immediately called an ambulance and the police. Shortly thereafter, the police arrived at the scene. They were all questioned. A police inspector opened the man's wallet and took his identity card.

''Ivander Armaturov muttered, then he sent his men to find information about Ivander to the surrounding population. Inspector Limonov and several other policemen immediately left the forest and headed straight for the hospital.

Ivander was treated in an ICU room and the doctor who treated him immediately came out after seeing his condition.

''Doctor, how is he?''Inspector Limonov asked.

''His condition is not good. But he's lucky the bullet lodged in his chest didn't cause him death."

''How long will he regain consciousness?''

''I'm sorry, if that's not what I know. It depends on the patient himself, the most important thing is now that we've been trying to save his life."

''Can I see it ? Just for a minute."

''Alright. Please!''

In the room was silent only the breathing machine that supported his life. Right now Ivander's life depends on a machine attached to his body.

''Who exactly are you? And what is the purpose of you coming to this city?''

Inspector Limonov stared at him for a while and was startled by the sound of his cell phone. He came out of the room and received the call from earlier and continued to call her impatiently. ''Limonov is here."

''Inspector Limonov, this is Tom. I've got information about the man who was shot."

''Is that really Tom?'

''Really. He lives in the Honeydeep inn."

'' I'll be there right now."

''I understand."

Inspector Limonov accompanied by two other policemen immediately headed to the inn in question. There Tom was seriously giving a variety of questions to someone.

''Ah, inspector, you've come apparently."

''How's Tom? What information did you get ?''

''Mr. Sebastian Brackley admits he knows the man we found in the woods. His name is Ivander Armaturov.He only knew him 3 days ago."

Inspector Limonov listened well to Tom's description.''He also said the man brought the baby with him."

''Baby?''

''Really. But when I asked where the baby was, Mr. Barckley didn't know it, because when he came back from traveling the baby was no longer with him''.

Inspector Limonov sat in front of Sebastian who looked nervous and frightened. Sebastian Barckley, a 45-year-old owner of a food store, was a little fat and had curly hair.

''Can you tell us in more detail about this man named Ivander?''

''Well I will say it. 3 days ago he came to this city along with a baby. The baby sleeps in his cradle. She stayed at the Honeydeep Hotel for one week. Me and him met in the hotel lobby when he was going to check in there. I asked her, is that baby hers? He replied, if this baby is not his son, but his nephew.It does not take long for us to be good friends. Ivander was very friendly and easy to talk to, as if I had known him for so long, but the look in his eyes looked sad . He never told me about his family. He said he was from Moscow. He came here, because there was an interest and the second day he was here, he went with the baby and he came back in the afternoon, but the baby was no longer with him. She said the baby was already taking care of her, because she couldn't take care of her alone."

''Did she say where she left the baby?''

''No. ''No. He didn't say anything." Inspector Limonov stared intently at him. The man looks nervous.

''Alright. Thank you for helping us. Good afternoon!''

Inspector Limonov squinted, as he exited the inn, because of the scorching afternoon sun.

🍎🍎🍎

The afternoon sun that almost set at the foot of the sky made the blue sky turn into a golden orange color. The villagers had already left their fields and returned to their homes. Antonina was busy preparing dinner for her husband.

Lizzie was sleeping in her basket. His innocent and innocent face had made the people around him love him and little Lizzie had managed to captivate the Thusenka family and give them joy.

''Hello Honey!How's your job in the garden?''

''Today we harvested some potatoes and also tomatoes. Javor was so happy that the potatoes and tomatoes he had garden were doing well."

Petro approached the baby basket and smiled gently at the baby before him.

''Hello Lizzie baby!''

''Don't touch her before you're clean. Go take a shower! I'm done preparing dinner for us."

''Well madam."

Dinner was solemn.''Dinner was so good as always."

''Thanks you. Today I deliberately prepared a special dinner to welcome Lizzie's presence in this house."

''It's just fitting that this dinner menu looks different."

After they finished eating, Antonina immediately cleaned the dining table and Petro gave milk to Lizzie.

''Maybe one day we will know the origin of this child, if we had known it, what would we have done? Should we return this child to the real family?''Petro suddenly asked his wife.

Antonina was speechless, she had not thought about it at all. ''I don't think his family wants him anymore. The proof is that he left the boy in our house."

''Maybe true, but there may be a compelling reason why this baby was left here'."

Antonina approached her husband who was holding Lizzie and stared warmly at the baby.

''I'm sure this baby will be a special child later."

The village of Zelenogradsk at night looks as beautiful as it does in the morning. The lights that radiated from each house, the glittering lights from a distance and the sky decorated by the sprinkling of stars further beautified the village at night. The sound of splashing flowing water and the friction of wind sound like chanting a bedtime melody. It is this beautiful and quiet village that will keep all the secrets of Lizzie. [ ]
