It has been two hours. Two hours of learning Russian with Mikhail and my head already wants to explode.
"I don't know if I can continue to be honest" I say.
He smirks at me.
"As the Italian woman you are, this should be easy".I shake my head.
"Russian is way harder than Italian. I know English and Italian, I don't know if Russian can be my third language".He shakes his head.
"That is nonsense. You are here now, knowing Russian is a must now.. let's continue".I smile.
"How about this? I learn Russian and you learn Italian".He looks at me with darkness in his eyes.
"Conosco già tesoro italiano" he says.
(I already know Italian sweetheart)I gasp in shock.
"How..?".He smiles.
"I just do, now let's continue".I groan.
"Fine"."Привет. Меня зовут Вивиан Марино. И вы?"he keeps reciting over for me.
(Hello. My name is Vivian Marino. And you are?)I say it and he nods.
"Отличная работа".
(Good job.)We go on and on for as long as can. This will certainly be a challenge.
A few weeks pass by and we got out more. I got to see Russia more and the people. The people were certainly cold to me but some were welcoming. I have also adjusted to the coldness.
My Russian has gotten a bit better but there are still a few cracks in there. I try to communicate with Mikhail and Dimitri in Russian instead.
They say I'm the first Italian woman they have met to quickly learn Russian. I have been trying to get a job to earn my own money and buy a new phone.
It has been so great to know that I'm no longer in the control of Giovanni's demise.
I feel free. Really free.
I walk in the town as I see this older woman in her shop. She is sitting down in the front and bending down to attend to the messed up clothes that are on display.
I quickly run over to her and I help her. I pick it up and arrange it for her.
"О спасибо большое дорогая" she says in a trembled tone.
(Oh thank you very much dear.)I nod.
"Удовольствие мое."
(My pleasure)She sits back down in her large coat as she coughs a bit. She is in this cold weather alone attending to her business. I look at her.
