Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian, Vol. 1 – Discover the Full Audiobook

Well, let me tell ya, this Alya girl ain’t like other folks. She’s got that silver hair and a look about her that makes people stop and stare. Folks say she’s real pretty, and I reckon they’re right. She’s a high school girl, ya know, and seems like she’s always in some kinda pickle when it comes to her feelings. But here’s the thing, she don’t just come out and say what’s on her mind, no sir. Alya, she hides her feelings, and not just with any ol’ trick, but in Russian of all things! Ain’t that somethin’?

Now, you might be wonderin’, how in the world does she do that? Well, let me tell ya. See, Alya’s got this habit of mutterin’ things under her breath in Russian, right when she’s feelin’ all flustered or confused. She’s got a lot on her mind, especially when she’s around that fella who’s got this cool, calm demeanor. She sees him actin’ all composed, and it makes her feel all sorts of ways. But, instead of tellin’ him directly, she just hides it all behind them Russian words. Ain’t nobody around her knows what she’s sayin’, and that’s just how she likes it. A good secret, kept quiet.

It’s funny though, ‘cause anyone who speaks Russian might be able to catch on to what she’s feelin’. But the thing is, nobody in her class knows a lick of Russian. So, Alya’s little secret stays just that – a secret. She can be frustrated, happy, sad, or maybe even a little love-struck, and all she has to do is mutter a few words in Russian, and nobody’s the wiser. It’s like she’s got this whole little world inside her, and only she can understand it.

Now, some folks might say Alya should just come out and say what’s on her mind. Why hide behind some foreign language? But you know, sometimes it’s easier to keep them feelings locked up inside, especially when you don’t know how someone else is gonna take ‘em. And that’s exactly what she’s doin’. Hidin’ behind the Russian words gives her the space to figure things out without lettin’ anyone in on the secret. It’s a way of protectin’ herself, if you ask me.

But I reckon the bigger question is why Alya chose Russian. I mean, it’s not like she’s got family from Russia or anything. No, it’s just somethin’ that probably felt right to her. Maybe she learned it for fun, or maybe she just likes how the words sound when they roll off her tongue. Whatever the reason, it sure is a clever little trick she’s got. You see, Alya’s the kinda girl who’s got a lot goin’ on up in her head, and sometimes, it’s just easier to keep it all bottled up in a language that’s hard for anyone else to crack.

If ya ask me, it’s kind of a sad thing in a way. She’s hiding her feelings instead of lettin’ ‘em out, but I guess that’s the way some folks are. Sometimes it’s just easier to keep them things to yourself, especially when you ain’t sure how folks are gonna react. But, well, I reckon she’ll figure it out eventually. Maybe someday, she’ll feel like she don’t need to hide no more. But for now, Alya’s got her Russian, and she’s keepin’ them feelings all wrapped up tight in it.

And ya know what? There’s somethin’ kinda poetic about it. The way she can speak a language so few folks understand, and use it to protect her heart. It ain’t easy, hidin’ feelings like that, but sometimes, it’s all we can do. So, for now, Alya’ll keep on speakin’ in Russian when she’s feelin’ something she can’t say out loud. And maybe that’s just the way it’s meant to be.
