Sometimes I have second thoughts about going to America. I don't know if I can really leave my family behind. My mom Olena has helped me though so much, she's always there for me. My sisters Karolina, Sonya, and Viktoria mean a lot to me. We always got along pretty well. I am the man of the house I do everything I can to protect them. My grandmother Yeva she's crazy I swear. But I love her to death. My niece and nephew are still too young to really know what's going on. I'm going to miss playing cars with Paul and helping Sonya with Zoya. The only reason I'm determined to go is so I can have peace. I want to know why my father never came back for us.
Yeva and I were sitting at the kitchen table one evening, waiting for the rest of the family to return home.
"Dimka, you will be happy one day."
"I am happy Yeva, so happy."
"Dimka don't lie to me, I know all remember. I know you're not happy."
"You will find true love Dimka."
To this day I still haven't figured out what she meant about me being happy. I am happy I have my family and friends what more could I really need. But what caught my attention was the fact about finding true love, was it really possible? For some reason I couldn't get the voice in my head to stop telling me I wasn't in love with Tasha.
All the memories of my family came crashing back to me. Like this one time when I was eight Sonya and I were playing dress up. She kept trying to get me to marry her doll Lucy.
"Dimka!"
"What?"
"It's time for your wedding. Lucy is all ready for you."
"I've told you a million times I'm not marrying your stupid doll!"
"Please, I'll give you some candy."
"Hmm.. well I guess I could do it for some skittles."
I scurried into Sonyas room ready to get married. I was dressed in the black suit mama had bought me for a wedding we were suppose to go to. As I walked in Sonya was stading holding a book in her hands while Lucy sat in a chair. All I remember thinking was that i was getting skittles after this. I rushed over to lucy's side.
"Now we can begin. Dimitri do you take lucy to be your wife?"
"I do!"
"Good bevcause now your married haha, now take Lucy on your honeymoon. Oh an heres your skittles."
I chuckled at the memory. God what I would do for candy when I was little. A knock on my window startled me. I hadn't even realized I was at work.
"Dimitri, my friend you have been sitting in your car for the past ten minutes." said Ivan
"Sorry, this trip to America has got my mind racing. I'm freaking out Ivan. What if I don't find him? What if he hates me?"
"Relax man, everything will be just fine. Hey ill even go with you. But on one condition no Tasha."
"You really think I'd take her with me? She may be my girlfriend and all but she's way to annoying. Sometimes I don't even know why I'm with her."
"You and me both."
Raul had approached us and demanded that find all the horses because magiclly the fence broke. Sometimes I swear that man breaks things just so we have to fix them.
