Hey everyone sorry for such a long break but I ran out of ideas to write about. Also my Leaving Cert is starting really soon and I need to study.
The idea for this story came to me one night when I was chilling and listening to music. The russian song Katyusha. Rating is K+
P.S If anyone have a request or an idea they want me to write about [please feel free to live a review. If I will think of anything I promise to dedicate you a story.
Katyusha
Kiyoshi decided to make use of the warm spring weather and practice playing his accordion outside today. Ironically he chose the tree he fall of off just a few months before only to see something his present girlfriend Hana Mindoikawa wanted him beheaded for and did everything to turn his life into living hell. He smirk at that memory and strap his accordion 'Dimitr' to his back and climb the tree. Surprisingly it was a lot easier than he expected it to be. He then took his accordion off and strapped it to his chest in the proper way and sat on the strongest, thickest branch of all. His legs were straight and crossed in the ankles as the branch was wide enough for him to sit that way. He then closed his eyes and wondered what piece should he play. He had enough of his orchestral piece so that was a no. And then he remembered that his grandfather's name day was this saturday and he is going back home for the weekend to attend the part. His father was meant to pick him up tomorrow right after school. ( Name day are a celebration of your name to some extend. They are celebrated the exact same way as any ordinary birthday. They are celebrated in countries such as Poland, Greece, Sweden and certain parts of Russia) So he decided to play his grandfather's favorite song. The traditional russian song Katyusha. He might as well play it for his or even with him at some stage of the party.
He unstrap his accordion, close his eyes and start to play as if there was no tomorrow. He forgot about the fact that he is still on school grounds and that he might be disrupting someone. But to be honest he didn't even care about it now. He was in his own world of accordion sounds right now. He was in a trans. Some time have passed before he fall out of that trans. And that was done by no one else then his girlfriend Hana Mindorikawa who start to sing the song in russian.
Расцветали яблони и груши,
Поплыли туманы над рекой;
Выходила на берег Катюша,
На высокий берег, на крутой.
Выходила, песню заводила
Про степного, сизого орла,
Про того, которого любила,
Про того, чьи письма берегла.
Ой, ты песня, песенка девичья,
Ты лети за ясным солнцем вслед,
И бойцу на дальнем пограничье
От Катюши передай привет.
Пусть он вспомнит девушку простую,
Пусть услышить, как она поет,
Пусть он землю бережет родную,
А любовь Катюша сбережет.
Расщветали яблони и груши,
Поплыли туманы над рекой;
Выходила на берег Катюша,
На высокий берег, на крутой
English Translation
Apples and pears were blossoming
Mist on the river floating
On the bank Katyusha stepped out
On the high steep bank
Stepped out, started a song
About one grey steppe eagle
About her loved one
Whose letters she cherished
Oh song, maiden's song
Fly towards the clear sun
And to the warrior on a far away border
Bring Katyusha's greeting
May he remember this simple maiden
And hear her singing
May he save our motherland
And love, Katyusha will save
Kiyoshi was shocked to hear someone sing but he knew that is was Hana. After all she is the only other russian speaker in the school except him. He looked down at her with a smile and continue playing. Hana looked up at him without stopping to sing. When the song ended she climbed the tree and sat on a branch above him. "Years passed since I have heard that song." She admit. "Really ? I only played it because it's my grandfather name day this saturday and I want to play it for him." Kiyoshi explained. "So your grandfather name is Stanley then huh ?" She asked. "How do you know ?" He asked her. "I have a russian calendar and it has the names that are celebrat each day written on it." She answer. "Your name is not so uncommon in Russian when is yours ?" Kiyoshi asked. "Some time in October I always forget. One of my parents or my grandma always remind me about it with a phone call or something." She explained. Kiyoshi giggle at that and smile at her.
"By the way did you had to pick this place out of all ?" She ask him. "Brings back memories doesn't it ? He answer with a question of his own. "I still need to get you back for it you prev. So don't you think that only because we are dating now that I'm not secretly planning my revenge." She remind him. "Oh come on Hana you have seen me pee like a million times since we started dating. Not to mention more." He wiggle his eyebrows at her. "Shut up you perv !" She smack him on the head. "For Kamis sake Hana." He whine. "It's your own fault for being a perv." She gave out to him. "That might be the case but In remind you that we are sitting on a tree and I'm holding an antique instrument. Which is my families heirloom. By hitting me you could knock me off and then Dimitr would be in pieces but I could even die." He stated. Hana just roll her eyes. "You survived the last time you would survive the next." She said. Kiyoshi stare at her in a bit of an evil way. "You are the devil." He mumbled. Hana sigh, grab his shirt and pulled him up a little while she leaned down to kiss him. "Happy now ?" She asked when the kiss end. "I think I can forgive you." He said and giggle right after.
"So when are you leaving for your grandfather party ?" She asked after a few minutes of silence. "Tomorrow right after the last bell. My dad should already be waiting for me at the gate by then." Kiyoshi answer. "It's going to be so boring without you here." She admit. "Rally ?" He asked. "Yes I will have no one to torment since all the other guys are out of prison already." She smile at him. "Very funny Hana. Very funny." He said in a sarcastic way. Hana on the other hand burst out laughing. " I'll stop. But I really will miss you." She said. "In that case why won't you come with me ?" He proposed. "I. I don't know I don't really want to crash a family party. Name Days are pretty important for the Russian people. They are a family and close friends events." She said. " But you are already considered a part of the family already and my grandparents and some other members of the family really want to meet you." He admit. "Are you sure ? I really don't want to cause any problems." "I am a 100% sure Hana. Please come it will be so nice if you will." He ensure her. "Well in that case I think I will go." She smile at him. He return the smile and they kissed once again. As soon as the kiss ended Mari called to them to get back into the school because dinner was about to be served. They just smile at eachother one more time and got of the tree.
