Alyona:

"Are, are you an alien?" I mumbled as I stared at him.

"Celestino, let my granddaughter go." Grandma demanded, her face as poker as ever.

Slowly, he removed himself from me and turned towards my grandma. "So, she is your granddaughter." It wasn't a question. It looked like he was challenging grandma.

"Yes, she is. Though, I adopted her. That doesn't matter." She waver her hand in the front of her. Like trying to dismiss the thought. "For me. She's the only family left."

I was rooted at my spot. With my back to the wall.

None of us said anything.

"Well, hello, Alyona. I'm Silvano Orsino. Be-... I mean Celestino's assistant... Kind of." He grinned at me.

I walked past Celestino and went to Silvano shooting my hand out for a hand shake.

His eyes went wide and he looked behind me. At Celestino.

"What? Your boss doesn't let you shake hands with others?" I mocked hearing a growl from Celestino, making me roll my eyes.

Silvano grinned and took my small palm in his. And we shook hands. "You are.... Different." He nodded to himself.

I shrugged, as I took my hand back. "So I have been told over the years."

"Do you have a proper explanation, Alexandra?" Celestino cocked one of his eyebrows. He addressed grandma but his eyes were on me.

I turned completely towards him and crossed my arms over my chest. "My grandma doesn't need to give you any damn explanations." I glared at him.
Then, I turned towards grandma. "Just who is he? And, What is he?" I widened my eyes so she knows how weird he is.

That made Silvano chuckle and shake his head.

What?

An inside joke?

"Shall we take the things to the kitchen and talk over a tea?" Grandma suggested and without waiting for anyone's response, she started strolling towards the kitchen.

We all followed.

I'm used to this.

Grandma ignoring my questions.

She does that all the time.

Since, I was a kid.

But, am I not grown up enough?

We settled down in the kitchen.

Celestino and Silvano opposite to me.

I ignored Celestino and his weirdness.

As I watched grandma preparing for the tea.

I didn't expect her to start talking till she hands us our mugs of her tea.
