Nikolai After taking Irina to her room, I ask Olga to bathe her and dress her up in new clothes. After that, Olga leaves to go make her something to eat.“How are you feeling now?” I ask, sitting at the edge of the bed, tucking a dangling strand of her hair away. She still looks shaken, but has calmed down a bit. She’s no longer crying and hardly talks. All she does is nod or shake her head.“Better?” I inquire and she nods her head.“It’s fine. I’m here for you, irushka. You don’t have to be scared of anything. You’re not going to marry Ivan and Zorya will not lay her hands on you again.” I assure her and she nods as a tear drops from her eye.“Why does mom hate us so much?” She asks, a sob breaking out from her throat. I have no idea as well. This was the question I kept asking myself when I was very much younger, but now, I have decided not to care about it. I don’t need someone to love me, loving myself is enough.“I don’t know, Irushka.” I sigh, giving her my most honest reply.
