Chapter 40 In Russia, it's called Ukraine

( written by Yoshio Nogami )


If the soul goes from person to person, across the times, this story may be true ....


1919, in Russia


This novel exists for those who don't feel like reading conventional novels.


This is a record that an angel suddenly came 👼 and whispered in my ear.


He exists in every era, and he sees and knows everything.


That's why I didn't listen to this angel😇 JJ at first, but before I knew it, I was getting involved like this.


This time, the reason why he came is probably because I met a new friend from Russia🇷🇺.


That night, I certainly saw it....


When blood and tears were still oozing on the dirty cobblestones that had just ended World War I, people were excited about the arrival of a new era.


"1919" was written on the calendar in the room.


To me who was stunned, the angel👼 JJ spoke to me calmly as usual,


"Hey, J. You'll miss it too,


I was watching you in this city, be sure.


You lived as an international student in this city.


Whether it's literature or sociology, it has nothing to do with me, but you should have studied such a thing.


But there was something more important left behind in this city, right?..... Huh, huh...


Now, go out into the city,


I'll show you the continuation of my dream..."


As I was told, I started walking around this city like a sleepwalker.


The sun was starting to go down and it was cold.


I put up the collar of my coat.


At first, I thought it must be the place I saw for the first time, but gradually I remembered that I had been in this city all the time.


I remember looking at the old stately government building and the feeling of stepping on the fallen leaves of street trees.


...... If I turn the next corner, there must be a beer hall.


Then, what do you think?!


Certainly, it was a big beer hall, and I went in as if I was used to it and ordered a glass of black beer🍺.


--I'm sure I've been here many times.


I was strangely familiar with the eyes of the clerk and the people who seemed to be regulars.


"Hi! J, I finally met you......"


When I heard a voice and turned around, a woman smiling was standing there.

Her hair was a little brown, close to red hair, and I don't know what was fun, but her eyes were shining brightly.


When I was staring at her eyes, for some reason, mountains with snow in the clear air and lakes with quiet water surface appeared ...


"Hey, Irina, how are you?"


I knew her name.


It's also like an acquaintance from a long time ago...


She continued to talk with a gentle smile,


"By the way, did you read that book by Chekhov?


Since it's about you, I may have already seen through it, but..... Doesn't that main character and woman look like us?


The name is the same... "


" So, [ Three Sisters ] ? "


Certainly, Irina is a woman who seems to have jumped out of a novel. And she was a ballerina.


That novel had a little impact on my life now.


In the dark times before World War I, Chekhov managed to find hope in the spiritual world.


Just like 2023 is playing an overture to the world war again......


I was experiencing that era of war in Russia.


Also, Irina said,


"Hey, I still live there....."


I knew where it was.


When you go through the path of a small and beautiful garden, the appearance of a warm beige wall......


Under the two-story roof, that house has a hawk crest with olives in its mouth.


I couldn't have forgotten that place.......


Her gentle smell revives.


Over her shoulder with a sheet, yellow colored flowers and 🌼 scenery with street trees that can be seen from the window......


Just like that time, today's sky is gloomy and gray.


Irina, silently, quietly put her right hand on top of my left hand on the table.


Her kindness, which came from her warm hands, was the same as it was at that time.


Then, what does it mean?!


A flash of light envelops her, and something hot is filling me.


Her dazzling white skin flashback, wrapped in white sheets, spreads in front of me.


It was like a statue of an ancient goddess found in the Aegean Sea.


A soft feminine body that covers a solid Russian structures.


I was a traveler wandering through the beautiful mountains, grasslands, and moist lakes...


That was my eternal home.


That's what's calling me again.


——Venus, oh, what a beauty......


You are Venus...


Your smile that fascinated me when I said that was still the same as it was at that time.


It's sweet, sad, and eternal peace.....


Eventually, you will make a little wrinkle between your eyebrows.


As rain clouds fall on the sun and the storm begins.... While opening that beautiful lips 💋 little by little, you start to leak a faint sobbing......


That time seems to be a blink of time when I look back, but it's really a love activity that lasts for hours, and the two people who fell asleep exhausted and happy may just not remember how long they spent together. It was......


Eyes and eyes that hold hands tightly and stare at each other.


Venus is shaking her soft body like a sweet dessert.


You sang a song and I kept playing the violin.


The time flowing in that world of love was stopped, and it was supposed to be immortal forever......


The noise of the people and the sound of the glass 🥂 rattling were enveloping me when I woke up from my daydream.

There is still an afterglow of Irina's sweet whispers in my ear.


Across from the same table, there was JJ, an angel👼 who looked just like me, but with a slightly sarcastic smile.


——I wonder if I can go back there again......


I felt like I saw the grin and angel 👼JJ laughing.


....... Then, I had already come to another place, and I was leaning down on the street corner with Irina.


The sound of a tank is approaching from a distance.


It was a love on the battlefield.


Here in Ukraine, it was also in the middle of the nationalist war of independence at this time.


While being afraid of something and running away, the distance between the two of them rapidly narrowed.


And we were trying to forget everything in the fleeting time of love.


I couldn't see tomorrow.


Where are you going?


I didn't understand.


So...


You were the only one I could believe in...


Suddenly, there was a loud noise.


The building in front of me collapsed, and in no time, it was covered with the threki, and the two of us were closed in the dark.


Eventually, when the bright light comes in, we start walking hand in hand.


Both of them were laughing.


It's a grassland where colorful flowers are in full bloom.


A hawk 🦅 with olives in its mouth comes from nowhere and leads us.


Before long, the 🔱 house with that hawk's crest came into view.


In Russia, в России


It's called Ukraine.
