Chapter 15 "Peace"

Viktoria

A little hour later

The house was empty. I was all alone.

Anastasia had a shift in hospital and Irene had a rendez-vous with Rolf. Only Galatea and Constantine had stayed at home.

But something must had upseted them and they hastily left.

I just hoped that everything would be fine and I was praying all the time.

When I was all alone at home, something used to scare me, maybe that quiet was the one that used to scare me.

Since I started living in the basement, I wanted to hear the family's steps from the up floor, because I felt more sure and relaxed. Also I had learned which steps belonged to who.

I tried to relax and think positive. Nobody could enter the house except from its owners, also even if a stranger had managed to get inside, he couldn't have found me because my part of the basement was secret and hidden very well.

I tried to think of something else in order for my attention to be disturbed  until someone came back home.

The dream I saw last night came in my mind again. Since I woke up this morning, I couldn't stop thinking about it and as the time was passing I believed that it was true more and more.

I started feeling closer to Dimitri for a strange reason, like he was there and he would come very quickly. It was a strange feeling, but I liked it, I trusted it instead of pushing it away.

I believed in Jesus, that He would bring my love back to me. Also I would fulfill my promise to Him, no matter what.

I just had to wait and see what would finally happen.

I didn't know for how long those thoughts were accompanying me, until I felt a sweet dizziness and sleepiness taking over my body.

Before I fell asleep I thought of Dimitri looking at me lovingly smiling at me.

I didn't know for how long I was sleeping until a noise from the up floor woke me up.

Relax Viktoria it's nothing!! I tried to soothe myself Someone probably returned!!

I closed my eyes again, trying to sleep. I was hearing steps from the up floor. Someone was walking to the kitchen, but I couldn't understand what he was doing because I couldn't recognise the noises he was making.

I tried not to pay much attention and try to sleep again, but seemed like that someone wanted to visit me.

I heared the door of the basement closing softly and then steps closer and closer to where I was.

I sat on the mattress and waited for my visitor to be revealed.

When I saw him, I gasped at the sight.

He.. he was here!!

He was finally here!!

He had more beard and hair than usual. Although his tiredness his blue beautiful eyes had the same playful glimpse and his smile was still there, always glad.

I had missed everything on him, all of him!! I had missed him!!

"Dimitri??" I asked tearing

"My love!! My Viktoria!!" He exclaimed

He ran to my side and I stood up. We hugged so tightly that for a moment I thought that we would break each other.

While we were hugging, he was placing kisses on my neck and face and I was caressing his hair.
