Anechka, you are not guilty of anything, except that you were born as such a beauty, which all men go crazy about. You should not refuse to communicate with them, it's your job, let the passionate Cuban lust for you as much as he wants, it's only his problem, and judging by your speculation, Anechka, he has someone to defuse his fuse with... - and she and Anechka laughed quietly
The next day the program of Cubans was full of the meetings with the high ranking officials and the Ministry of Defense, because the island of Cuba 530 km far away from the American Florida had always stirred the thoughts of Russian military. In the evening there was to be an official reception at the Foreign Ministry's mansion on the Arbat, where Esteban wanted to see the beautiful Anna Knyazeva. And he turned to N. Sorokin, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma, who was accompanying him that day, and Sorokin dialed Anya and conveyed to her the wish of the distinguished guest. Anya smirked, and quickly thought it through:
I will be at this reception, but not alone, I do not want to experience more of his passion and insist on inviting my Kostya, he will guard me from this passionate Cuban, you and I have agreed, Nicholas?
Nicholas laughed, he understood everything perfectly, and he immediately called Kostya and asked him to accompany his beautiful wife to the reception to protect her from the passionate Cuban. Kostya was especially pleased to see off Anya, dressed in a formal evening suit, he was proud that eight years ago he had made a very good choice of wife. And when he met the Cuban, who again sizzled Anya with a passionate look, Kostya shook his hand very firmly, even very firmly, until the obvious crunch in his hands. And although Esteban seemed to be taller and stronger than Kostya, but he understood without words this manly firm handshake of Anja's husband...
The Cuban gazed intently into Kostya's laughing eyes and immediately understood everything. He nodded understandingly, greeting the very strong and tall Russian general... The reception was held at the highest level, and at the end we talked about sightseeing in Moscow on the next Saturday. And Kostya and Anya showed initiative, they offered to accompany Cuban guests instead of N. Sorokin due to illness of his wife.
The Knyazevs couple offered to take a tour of the Kremlin museums, and then they drove to the restored Arkhangelskoye Estate with lunch at "Russian Hut" restaurant in Ilyinskoe, and in the evening the Cubans were to see "The Nutcracker" at the Bolshoi Theatre, which was accepted with particular enthusiasm. The excursions were wonderful, Kremlin museums naturally impressed the guests with their luxury, as well as the whole beautiful architectural ensemble of Arkhangelsky on the river bank.
And Russian cuisine in Ilyinsky was as refined as usual with sturgeon, caviar, blinis, mushrooms and other typical Russian snacks. Kostya at lunch offered the guests to try Russian khrenovukha, Esteban and Ani Maria quite liked the drink. And for a nice ice cream for dessert the couple exchanged photos of their children, the Cubans showed the 2 sons of Esteban the widower and the 2 daughters of the recently widowed Ani-Maria.
Anya showed her and Kostya's magnificent foursome of children, and then their mutual photo of mother Masha with all 6 grandchildren and her brother Pasha with his wife Katya. And then Esteban took out his glasses and started looking intently at the group photo in Anya's smartphone... And pointing to Pasha in the group photo, he asked Anya:
And this is your brother, Anna? How old is he and what does he do? - Anya willingly nodded:
Paul or Pablo in Spanish is 42 years old now, he's a Spanish historian, he's married and he and his wife have 2 sons...
And then the Cuban found in his smartphone a common male photo with his father and his brothers, among them were both mulatto and white very tanned guys... Esteban smiled enigmatically and pointed to one white man in the photo:
That's my uncle Jose Luis Rodriguez, he's about 45 years old here in the photo, now he's almost 60. Anecheka, don't you find any obvious resemblance between him and your brother? In my opinion they are very similar, aren't they?
Anya picked up the Cuban's smartphone and zoomed in on his uncle's face with her fingers, examined it closely, and agreed with Esteban. And immediately dialed Masha's mother's cell phone number...
How are you doing, Mommy, how are the kids? We are fine, we finished our lunch in Ilyinsky, now we are looking at the children and family photos, and I want to ask you, do you remember in your Cuban epic with daddy Misha such Cuban, like Jose Luis Rodriguez, who is very similar to our Pasha... On the contrary, Pasha looks like this 60-year-old Cuban...
And then mom Masha quietly groaned and became silent... and after a short pause, she exhaled into the tube with difficulty:
That's what I got ... at some point it had to manifest itself, I had a premonition, as soon as these Cubans arrived in Moscow and so inadvertently beat me ... I feared it, and it happened ... Yes, I know Jose... he is Pasha's biological father... Vitya knew all our Cuban history from me, even before you were born, and he kept this secret with me... Let's talk about it over the phone, I have a lot to explain to you, my daughter...
