The story of anna's family😱 | Slow English (Level A2) |

What is mom hiding? It's beautiful. This is only the first check. I still need to finish a few details. That looks like a ring box. The road is called Leo again. Mom, aren't you going to answer that? Yes, just a moment. Dad, don't you remember? This weekend is a very special day. Hey. Ah. A special day? Hmm, what am I forgetting? All right. I'm running late. I'll see you all tonight. And leave the... Have a good day. Bye, Dad. See you later. Bye. See you tonight. Drive safely. Every step has... There you are. To find. Grandma's ring. A bird flies high above the tree. Leo, I'm so glad you called. Have you arrived yet? Not yet. Everything's ready. Who is that? Did you get a chance to look at it? Is that it? Yes. I think I can restore it exactly the way you asked. I'll contact you when everything is ready. Thank you, Leo. See you in the next video. Mom, who was that? Who was that man? It is a secret I cannot share. Why not? Why did you have to talk to him outside, Mom? Because it's something I want to keep private for now. You'll understand when the time is right. You promise? I promise. What is mom hiding? Hi Ella, I brought something for you to check. Great, thank you for coming by. Here, take a look. I've been waiting to see this. There's an old pipe through the trees. It's beautiful. This is only the first check. I still need to finish a few details. That looks like a ring box. Something tells me not to turn. I want you to see how it looks before the final work. Of course. Of course. I bumped the table. It's okay. Just be careful. I saw that man give Mom a little velvet box. It looked exactly like a ring box. Maybe it's just a present. Then why is everything so secret? Okay, that is a little strange. We shouldn't guess the worst. Mom probably has a good reason. But Leo keeps coming back, and Mom keeps hiding the box. Something is going on. Then maybe we should just wait and ask her again. Dad, Leo came back again today. He gave Mom a velvet box. Alex, I'm glad you told me. Assume anything before we know the whole story. I just thought you should know. You did the right thing by talking to me. Dad, I really think something strange is happening. I understand why you're confused. But we can't assume the worst from only a few things we saw. So you're not worried? We should wait until we know the whole story. In this family, we trust each other until we have a real reason not to. Okay, Dad. My heartbeat's getting loud. Mom, aren't you going to answer that? Yes, just a moment. Yes, I want to keep it a secret until the special day. What was that? Just something I'm keeping safe. Leo again. Everything is going according to plan. That's wonderful, thank you. Ella, who exactly is Leo? I've seen you meeting him more than once. Max, I know it looks strange, but there's an explanation. Then please explain it to me. I can't tell you yet, Max. It's something very special, and I need a little more time. You're asking me to trust you without telling me anything. I know. I'm asking you to trust me just a little longer. If it's something special, why do you have to hide it from me? Because telling you now would ruin everything. That answer doesn't make this easier. Did you sleep well? Not really. Do you want eggs or toast? Either is fine. Max, why are you acting so distant with me? I'm just tired, Ella. This feels like more than being tired. Is everything okay? Everything is fine, sweetheart. Alex, do you think Mom and Dad are going to separate? No, Anna. We don't know that. I shouldn't have made you worry. They barely talk anymore. We have to wait and let them work things out. Maybe I made everything worse. The ring? Please, just listen to me. I don't know what to say. We can still fix this. Is it really worth it? I have something important to take care of this morning, so I'll be out for a little while. Okay, Mom. Important? Yes, but I won't be long. Where are you going, Ella? Just to take care of something. I'll be back soon. You still won't tell me? Not yet. I need to know what's really going on. Where is Dad going? He said he'll be back soon. Are you sure we should keep going? Only until we see where Dad went. Stay right beside me. Okay. Hi, Ella. I'm glad you could make it. Thanks for meeting me, Leo. Is everything ready? Yes, exactly as you requested. What is Mom doing there? Here it is. The restoration is finished. Ella, I need to know right now, what is really going on between you and Leo? Max? Wait, I think there's been a misunderstanding. Max? Alex? Anna? Why are you all here? We were worried. Mom, what's happening? Everyone, please, let me explain. Leo, why are you secretly giving a ring to my wife? Max, please. Max, Max, wait. I understand what you think you saw, but this is not what it looks like. Then what is it? I'm a jeweler. I specialize in repairing and restoring old family jewelry. You're a jeweler? Yes. Ella came to me because of this ring. These are the repair records. Ella brought me an old family ring to restore, and she asked me to add a private engraving inside. So she hired you to repair it? Exactly. This box belonged to my grandmother. That ring was her wedding ring, Max. She left it to me years ago. Your grandmother's ring? Mom never told us that. I wanted to restore Grandma's ring and give it to you for our anniversary. I wanted it to carry our story, too. It was for me? Yes, Max. It was always for you. I had a message engraved inside. It means that after all these years, I would still choose you. Ella. I thought that ring meant something completely different. I wanted it to be a surprise. Sometimes a few details can tell the wrong story when you don't have the whole picture. Ella, I... Do you think they'll be okay? Give them some time. Ella, I'm sorry. I let fear connect to things I didn't understand, and I turned them into a story that wasn't true. You should have talked to me before deciding what those things meant. You're right. I should have trusted you enough to ask. I should have talked to you honestly. Instead, I followed you, watched from a distance, and decided what everything meant before I knew the truth. That hurt, Max. But I'm glad you're telling me the truth now. I'm really sorry. I was so focused on keeping the gift a surprise that I didn't realize how worried everyone was becoming. We both should have communicated better. Yes. I should have found a way to reassure you without re- Mom, I'm sorry. I saw a few things and thought I understood the whole story. It's okay, Alex. What matters is that we learned from it. So everything is really okay now? Yes, everything is okay. Now I can finally give this to you the way I planned. Ella, thank you. And I have something for you too. What is it? A little reminder of everything we've built together. Open it, Mom! Ready, everyone? Ready! Smile! This one is going in the album. Ha ha ha ha! Thanks for watching the video. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to the channel. Thank you very much. This is perfect. What is that secret letter for? Max! Max! Can you hear me? Max! Dad! Stay there. Don't come inside yet. Dad, why are you changing the lock? Oh! What was that? That came from the backyard. It sounds really loud. What are you working on, Dad? It's a private project. I'll tell you when it's ready. A secret project? Anna, please stop. From today, nobody goes inside without asking me first. But why, Dad? Why does a shed full of old things suddenly need such a strong lock? Please trust me, Ella. I'll explain soon. That's a lot of boxes. What could be inside? Stay back, please. I've got them. What's in that one? Nothing you need to worry about. What is Dad doing out there? I heard drilling, metal banging, and something heavy moving last night. Dad is probably fixing something. Don't imagine the worst. Max, what happened to your hands? It's nothing. I was just working on a few old things. What are these? Dad said it was just a small project. Dad, what is that? Stay there, Alex. We've got it. Easy. Keep it steady. What's under the tarp? Alex, please go back inside. I'll explain later. That can't be right. Max, where did this money go? I used it for something very important. Important enough not to tell me? Ella, just give me a few more days. I promise you'll understand. Once everything is finished, it will all make sense. What was that? Just an old part. I'll take care of it. Max, aren't you going to finish dinner? I'll be right back. We only have a few days left. I have to finish everything before Sunday. Finish what? Dad said he only has a few days and has to finish everything before Sunday. That doesn't sound like a normal day. Maybe there's something he really doesn't want us to know yet. Look, he's uncovering it. Max, did you sleep at all last night? Not much. I had a lot to finish. You need to stop for a few days and rest. I can't, Ella. I'm almost out of time. Whatever this is, it isn't worth exhausting yourself. Thank you very much. This is perfect. What is that secret letter for? Here, this should help with the bill. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this means. There's a small gap up there, maybe we can see inside from here. Okay, but we're not touching anything or climbing. No way, did you see him do something cool? He lifted the whole couch with just one hand! Wow, I saw it! It's real! What is it? Really in there? Yes, look, we have to see it up close. Dad said he didn't want the two of you going to the warehouse anymore. This is fair. Why are you treating us like strangers? We're your family. What are you hiding? Alex, this is not the right time. Please go inside. Dad, aren't you going to tell us anything? Not yet. Max, sit down. We need to talk about what just happened. Ella, I really don't want to argue. Neither do I, but we can't keep ignoring... This isn't just about the shed anymore. It's the savings, that man, the secret calls, and the way you've been shutting us out. I know how it looks. I would never betray you or do anything that could hurt this family. Then why can't you tell me what's happening? Because I'm not ready to explain it yet. You can't keep asking me to trust you while refusing to help me understand what's happening. I know. I'm sorry. This secrecy is affecting everyone. I never wanted that. Alec, what if this is really hurting Mom and Dad? I don't know. Give me two more days, Ella. Just two. Then I'll tell you everything. Two days, Max. No more secrets after that. Dad said he didn't want the two of you going to the warehouse anymore. Just a little more. I'm almost there. Max, your hands are shaking. You need to stop now. I'm okay. I just need a little more time. You're exhausted. There's only one final step left. I've spent months preparing this. If I stop now, I won't finish in time. Finishing it isn't more important than your health. Almost finished. What was that? Something crashed outside. Where's Dad? I don't hear anything now. Matt? Max! Max! Can you hear me? Why isn't he answering? Stay back with Anna. Max! Dad! Stay there. Don't come inside yet. My husband is unconscious but breathing. We need medical help. Is dad going to be okay? He's breathing. Stay together and keep back from the tools. Ella, what happened? You collapsed. Stay still. Help is coming. Dad! Dad! You're awake! My husband is unconscious but breathing. We need medical help. Is dad going to be okay? He's breathing. Stay together and keep back from the tools. Ella, what happened? You collapsed. Stay still. Help is coming. Dad! Dad! You're awake! Max! Dad! Stay there. Don't come inside yet. Ella, I'm okay. Stay still, Max. You're exhausted. Dad, you're awake! Max, what is under that tarp? That's what he's been hiding. Ella, please. I still wanted it to be a surprise. Max, this has gone too far. We need the truth now. It's a car? Why does Mom look like she knows it? Why is Mom crying? I think she recognizes it. I can't believe this. This was my father's car. We had to sell it years ago. I know. I found it a few months ago. It was in terrible condition, so I bought it and started restoring it for you. You did all of this for me? I wanted to give you back a piece of your family. The man you saw is an old mechanic who knew your grandfather. He helped me find the right parts for the car. So he wasn't doing anything suspicious? No. He was helping. These are the original papers and old photos that came with the car. That's me and my dad. Mom looks so little. This means more to me than you know. But no gift is worth you collapsing or making all of us worry like this. I'm sorry, Ella. I'm sorry. I wanted this surprise to be perfect. But I made all of you feel shut out. We were worried about you. No more doing everything alone. The surprise is gone now. It doesn't feel special anymore. The surprise may be gone, but the meaning isn't. It will mean even more if we finish it together. We can help, too. Tell us what we can do safely. Okay, we'll do it together. Alex, just hold this lightweight trim piece here. No tools needed. Got it, Dad. We'll clean the seats together. Okay. I'll take care of the engine check. One more try. You kept this, too. I wanted it to stay with the car. Next time you want to surprise Mom, just hide a cake instead of locking an entire shed. That would definitely be easier. I think I'd prefer that, too. Slow down, slow down! I need to slow down! Come on, turn! Welcome, everyone. Let's have a safe and wonderful skiing adventure. I can't wait to get started. Everything looks amazing. The snow is beautiful. Wow! The snowflakes are landing on my gloves. It makes skiing look so fun. I wanna learn too. I've watched plenty of skiing tutorials. I think I'm ready.

Dad is going up there already? Here I go! This is incredible! I feel like I'm flying! I'm going much faster now. Slow down, slow down, slow down! Pizza shape. How did Ella explain it? Keep a safe distance and use the pizza shape all the way down. We're ready. Pizza shape. I'm doing it too. Quickly. Did it, just like mom taught me. I need to slow down. Come on, turn.
