Seventh
Back to Natalia
Here I am… back to where I belong to. Playing with my knife instead of doing my work…
She sigh and lay back on the chair. There is a pile of paper in front of her, which need her sign of approval. Plus her work have been added when her government decide to help with her brother country.
Sure, she did obsessed with him before till the point of marrying him. But that was just a way of how she express her love for her brother. He looks gloomy and sad when he been left alone and it pain her heart.
Suddenly, a knock break her thoughts.
"Who is it?",she ask in a mono-stern tone voice.
"It's me. Your brother, Russia" his childlike voice boom from the other side of her office door.
"Come in"
She quickly fix her ribbon and dress, also her sitting position. When Ivan come in, he looks hesitant a bit to be alone with his sister. Yet, he step into her territory .After all, he was in debt with her and feel grateful because of that.
He took a loveseat in front of her. There is a blush spreading on his cheeks when he come close to her. Probably because of the cold.
"How are you, brother?"
"Uh….fine. I feel great this few days"
"I'm glad to hear that" she stand and walk toward a small pantry that was located near her working table. "Would like some coffee or tea?"
"Tea would be fine"
"Hm"
As she make a cup of tea for Ivan, she could feel the tense and glaring from her brother. As if he want to say something.
"Actually what's the reason you came here, big brother?"
"Guess… there's no point of keeping it from you" Ivan sigh
After she done, she put a cup of tea in front of him and sip a black coffee from her mug.
"I… I just wants to say thank you. Despite what I did to you before but you still help me. Thank you sister"
"No problem. We're a family after all" she smile.
Then, Ivan stand up and hug his sisters. "Da. A family"
As Ivan hug her, her mind could not think of anything. Except a man with emerald eyes and a child of her.
