Romania.
Google translate has been my best friend this whole time. One day I will learn the language and get used to it but for now, Google has been helpful.
As I trail with three suitcases by my side, I finally get in the car assigned to me to drive me to the mansion. It is a two hour drive from the airport but it would be nice to see Romania's scenery.
Mr. Arias informed me that he should be there the same time as me, so I'm not worried. As I sit in the car, I'm wearing a long trench coat over my sweater dress and boots. I had my hair up and light makeup of course.
The flight was at least 12 hours and I got enough naps while I did. As he drives, I sit back and I put my headphones in. I decide to listen to Romanian music to help me feel like an actual citizen here and not a tourist.
I close my eyes and I hope by the time I open them, that I'm at least close to the estate.
~~~~~~~~
Two hours pass by, we finally made it. I get out of the car and I take my suitcases out of the car. The driver drives off and I'm left in front of the gates. I see a car suddenly drive up and it parks.
Out comes Mr. Arias and he has an envelope with keys. He walks up to me and he bows.
"Good morning Ms. Codona, I hope you are able to adjust to the time difference" he says.
I chuckle. "Yeah I'm trying to adjust. It will take some time."
He nods and he goes to some sort of control box. He presses a few buttons and the gates open. He grabs one of my suitcases and he starts walking in, he looks at me.
"Come on, time to see your new home" he says.
I nod and I grab my suitcases. I start walking behind him and we walk down this long driveway. A driveway that will make you think that the queen lived here.
As we walked and walked, a view of this beautiful mansion stood there in all its glory. I was amazed and shocked that this is where I am living now.
Never would I have thought this would be my life a month ago.
I admired the beauty of the architecture and how elegant it looked. The way the stairs led up to the mansion so beautifully. Just everything was unreal.
We walked up the stairs leading to the front doors, he used the keys to open it and it did. He opened it wide for me to walk in and I saw how spacious and big the whole place was in the inside.
It was a bit dark but modern on the inside. It had pictures of people, possibly my family from generations ago.
"So.... this is the entrance hall. There is a dining hall, kitchen, main hall, family hall, garden outside in the back, laundry room, and the rooms are upstairs. Bathrooms are scattered around the mansion, mainly in the rooms. The garage is outside of the kitchen. You have a maid and a butler here to help you. They have served the Dragomir family for years, so they were delighted to hear about your presence of course" he tells me.
