Irina's point of view:

What should I do? I guess I just caused a rift between them.

I didn't know he lied to her, and why would he even lie to her regarding his age?

"Please just let me talk." Ruslan begged loana.

"No,just get the fuck out of here. You know what? I can't even bear seeing your face right now. I need to get out of here." She said as she stood up from her chair and went out of the dinning area. 

Seconds later, I heard one of the doors being shut.

I didn't follow her, I knew I should have followed her but I chose not to. I chose to hear the reason why my brother did that.

"Fuck" Ruslan said as he ran his hand through his hair.

"You heard her, get the fuck out of here." Roman said as he stood up from his chair and walked up to Ruslan.

"I will leave. Don't poke your nose into other people's businesses. Stay out of this." Ruslan said as he glared at Roman.

"This is my business also. Didn't you think it was my business when you broke her heart? Get the fuck out of here now before my bullet goes straight to your brain." Roman threatened Ruslan.

"I want to see you try." Ruslan challenged Roman as he stood up and faced Roman with an intense glare.

Before I knew it, they both removed their guns from their wait belt and point it on each other's head daring each other to do anything stupid. That was a fast motion.

I stood up from my chair and went in between them.

Ruslan won't dare to shoot his sister and Roman couldn't dare to shoot me after knowing the consequences clearly.

"Will you just stop being stupid right now, the both of you?" I asked them, annoyed.

I lowered their hand that contained the guns.

"Ruslan, you should do as she says and Roman, you are just adding salt to the wound. Must you always be a pain in the neck? Do you both think fighting each other will solve the problem on ground? If you think so, then you are both foolish. Get the fuck out of here now, Ruslan if you truly love her." I said.

"Close the door if he is gone or you can follow him." Roman said as he went out of the dinning area.

"Fuck!" Ruslan said as he proceeded to leave the dining area.

I followed him.

"I am so sorry, Ruslan. I didn't know what you had told her. But you shouldn't have lied to her." I apologized to him.

He tucked his gun behind his waist belt clumsily as he kept on walking. His wallet fell down in the process and everything in his wallet was out on display. My eyes caught a packet. The packet is square in shape. There is circular stuff in the packet which I am unable to see.

I was quick to get hold of it due to my curiosity.

"What is this?" I asked Ruslan as I felt it in my hand. 

It is slippery and the circular stuff is thick.

"It's a condom." He said as he picked up his things from the floor and snatched the condom thing from my hand.

"That's harsh." I said.

"What is a condom and what is it used for?" I asked him.

"Go and ask your damn husband what it is used for." He said aggressively.

"You don't speak to your sister like that." I said to him.

"That's it. You always want everyone to know that you are older, thank you. You caused this shit. You always want to prove to the people that you are older but you will never tell them ``I am the one who plays the role of the older one." He said.

That was too harsh.

"Well, they have to know. At least, I am proud that I am your elder sister even if I am not proud of anything in the world. I have to brag about you. I am sorry. But why am I even apologizing to you? You are the one in the wrong, not me. Why did you lie about your age to her?" I said as I smacked his head.

He can't be harsh to me, not now in all situations. He is the only one I am free with and I am comfortable with and I can joke with right now.

"I knew she wouldn't have considered it when I first met her knowing what she likes in men, so  I had to lie." He said as he went out of the house. 

"Oh, But you shouldn't have lied about your age to her. You should have been sincere with her. Then it is left for her to like you for who you are." I said as I followed behind him.

"Whatever" he said as he left me alone and went away.

Did he just walk out on me? Oh no he didn't. Well, he did. I can't believe he left me here all alone. 

Seconds later, I heard the sound of a car driving out of the compound.

Well, let's call it a day, then. But he seriously needs a real hearing.

I went inside the house, closing the door properly just as sir Roman instructed, I went to the dining area and packed the plates and cutleries we used.

I guess the dinning went wrong. Totally wrong, Ruslan just wasted his energy in cooking for us before the food was half touched. The remaining will go straight to the waste bin.

I took them all to the kitchen and washed them. After washing them, I tidied up the whole kitchen and dining so I won't have to work tomorrow.

After making sure everything was in place, I went away from the kitchen to look for Loana. I knew she would be in the first room so I went straight there.

I opened the door but not before knocking on the door.

I opened it gently and entered the room. There she is, sitting on the bed while her back is resting on the hardboard.

"Hey.." I sang as I walked towards her.

"Is he gone?" That was the first question she asked. She didn't even reply to my greeting.

"Yes, he left after his argument with Roman. He had to." I said.
