Oh! I think it's time to departure! Then, I must hurry!
I went to a bus which will drive us to the plane and waited. After just 2 minutes we got off the bus and got into the plane.
B3,B3...hmm, oh here it is! I said while I sat in my place in the first class of course.
I thank General Antonov for that heh... I said to myself.
*Ding dong*
*Dear passengers please fasten your seat belts because we are going to take off in 2 minutes, the flight will last for about 3 hours and 19 minutes, thank you for flying with us*. The cabin crew announced.
I was a little scared of flying from when I was a child but my fear dissappeared as soon as I put my headphones on.
Ah yes this song...Katyusha by Georgi Vinogradov...
Next to me there was a Russian person but I didn't observe so I started singing the lyrics with my voice down.
He heard me and tapped my hand.
Hey, I know this song! I love it so much. He said to me as I easily took my headphones off.
Where are you from and where are you going? He asked me.
I'm from Romania and I'm moving to Moscow! I replied in excitement.
Really?? He asked me shocked.
I'm Russian by the way! I can tell you more about our beloved Motherland.
But before that, where are you going to work? He asked me.
I'm going to work in the Russian army! I replied.
Oh goodness! That's amazing.
By the way, I'm Vladimir! He said.
I'm Katyusha. I replied as we shook our hands.
Beautiful name, and your name is inspired by the amazing song you were listening to earlier...
Now, Katyusha...I must tell you everything about Russia.
I'm listening, Vladimir, even tho I know everything about Russia.
Oh, then we should discuss about this beauty, then!
So, Vladimir where do you live in Russia?..
Oh I live in the ex Stalingrad, now known as Volgograd.
That's so cool! I've read a lot about Volgograd! I replied.
And...how was your holiday here in Romania? I asked.
Oh it was amazing! I visited many places but now we are talking about Russia.
And as you know, before going to someone's house you need to bring a gift.
I know I know, we do this in Romania too!
Who is your army General? Vladimir asked me.
General Antonov! I replied.
Antonov?... OH WAIT! I know him!
From where? I asked.
I've seen him on tv at the parade last year in June.
That's nice! I'm meeting him and a part of his soldiers today!
He's such an amazing person...Vladimir replied.
But may I ask why did you left Romania?...
Sure,well I just didn't want to live here anymore...My parents didn't want me to move because "Russia isn't good", " You aren't going to be happy" and I've had enough and decided to move earlier, gosh they are so annoying sometimes.
I know how it is Katyusha..., by the way how old are you?
I'm 23, you?
I'm 27. He replied.
Where do you work Vladimir? I asked curiously.
I work as a vet.
That's nice!! When I was like 3 I wanted to become a vet but then I realised that this isn't for me since I have more battlefield experience.
F-from where?..
Well when I was like 12 I went on a summer camp where they taught us how to shoot and battlefield rules and other military stuff. We were training everyday.
I was the best shooter from all the summer camp. I replied.
By the way did you learn how to drive a tank ? He asked.
Yes but not in the summer camp but when I was like 17 I went to the military Base because they were organising something with the students who want to go in the military and there I learnt a lot about the military.
First of all they taught us how to shoot down the enemies, then they taught us how to drive different tanks and how to shoot from the tank, then they taught us about aviation and then they brought us to a training field and they teached us how to use the rocket launchers and other good ass shit.
That's amazing! I never managed to train like this.
I thought they were teaching you more than us . I replied.
Well sadly nope...
That sucks man...
Katyusha do you have some snacks and something to drink, I forgot mine...
Of course! Here you go. I said while handing him a packet of chips and a bottle of water.
Thank you so much, Katyusha!!
No problem, Vladimir.  I replied back.
*Ding dong*
*Dear passengers we are now flying at the maximum altitude far from ground.
We are going to arrive in 1 hour and 20 minutes, thank you for flying with our air company*
Gosh, I can't wait!!! I said in excitement.
Do you want me to drive you to the Red Square? Vladimir asked.
No,no, please, don't bother yourself,  I can go by myself. I replied.
Oh okay then!
*Ding dong*
*Dear passengers please don't panic but we are going to go through some big turbulences, please make sure your seat belt is fasten.*
I started to breath louder and my pulse went higher because I was always scared of turbulences, then Vladimir put his hand on mine and said: Shh it's okay, it's just some turbulences, hold my hand and don't look out of the window, alright? He said while holding my hand.
Katyusha you know this is because we are going to land soon in like 10 minutes.
Yeah, I know, and thanks... I replied.
No problem, Katyusha! And I wish you the best and good luck in the army.
Awh, thanks Vladimir...
Now Katyusha hold my hand tightly, we are going to land.
