A man was rushing to the office, but on the way, when he encountered helpless children, his plans changed, and what he discovered on the spot stunned him.
In the morning, the businessman hurried to the central office, where he was expected to present the final report on his new project. His mind was still full of the tension from yesterday’s meetings, and he was pondering how the business meeting with the officials would go.
Suddenly, while crossing the street, he noticed three children trying to take shelter from the rain. The man approached them, and at first glance, seeing the children, he realized a reality that was shocking to him.

The man froze in place as raindrops ran down his face, but he didn’t even notice them. The children’s faces seemed incredibly familiar — evoking a troubling memory, long hidden deep in his consciousness.
He approached them with some caution, and during the conversation, upon hearing their names, he was suddenly in shock: they were his children.
The little boy and the two girls, with whom he had not kept in touch over the past years, whom he had separated from his wife and rarely saw, now stood before him in the rain — lost and detached from life.
An unbearable mixed feeling overcame him. In his heart raged at the same time mad love, guilt, and bitter regret.
He understood that the years of missed moments could no longer be recovered, but now the children — innocent and defenseless against the rain and the cold of the street — showed that their safety was now in his hands.
With great care and caution, the man covered the children with his umbrella, held them warmly against himself, and whispered: “Nothing will happen to you now. I am here.”
He led them to the nearest café to warm up after the rain and the cold, feeling that from this moment a new bond was beginning — for the lost years, and he was ready to protect them not only from today’s rain but also from the cold and pain accumulated over the years of his absence.
