Oksana dutifully followed Thomas' guidance throughout their four-week stay in the capital city Rog. She took care of the kitchen so they could enjoy good meals together. She also stayed away from certain stores and streets that he was not comfortable that she would see, and she learned more about living in Canada using a laptop he bought for her.
She was very happy to be with him, and looked for his confirmation and approvals whenever she did something. She was not confident in herself to make decisions but felt increasingly comfortable and confident with him when they had sex.
"I feel very secure with you," she told him over dinner one evening. "I think, because you are older than me, and I did not grow up with a father, I think, in a way, you have been like my father."
"Yes, I can understand that. You lacked a father figure growing up. This is important for a girl."
"In the time we have been together, I have been thinking about this. Yes you are like a father in a way, for me. I needed a man to help me, to give me guidance with what is right. My grandfather was sometimes very gentle with me. But I think you have been more strong with me. More firm. I never had this, I needed this growing up."
"So you feel I have been like your strong father, to guide you?" he asked.
"Yes. I want this," she said, but after a pause, added smiling "but of course you are also my husband. And we make love. This part, I don't think is with my father."
"I guess not," he laughed.
When her residency permit was finally issued by the embassy and it was time to leave Barulastam, they became very excited at starting their lives in their home together. In the long journey to Toronto, she followed his guidance at each step, as she did too to settle into their house.
But in this large and vibrant city, with its many languages and cultures and complexity, Oksana was enthralled and wanted to explore. He encouraged her to walk around and discover her new world by foot, and she wholeheartedly did so at every daytime opportunity she had. Thomas was aware of her excitement and asked about her walks and discoveries at each dinner they had together at home.
She began taking courses at the university to eventually complete her degree that she had started in Barukastan. For this, she attended classes and spent time with other students for group projects. She always walked to the downtown campus.
Oksana tried to only have female friends but she easily drew the attention of males. Her pretty face, long blond hair, slim figure with full breasts, and exotic accent became a magnet for young horny men. Some other girls noticed the attention she received even as she tried to avoid it.
As she began to make new friends, she went out with them in cafes.
"Is it ok if I go out with my friends to a bar tomorrow night?" she asked Thomas one day. The friends were all girls from her program.
"Which bar is this?"
She told him what one of them suggested and he thought about its location and clientele.
"This bar is not far from the campus," he said to her. "I remember being there. It isn't just with students but it also has people from another neighbourhood. I think there's a lot of drinking and pool tables there, with betting."
"I don't know... I, it was suggested by Maddie in my group."
"I think this is a place that you could get into trouble in. I don't want you to go to that place."
She wasn't expecting that kind of response from him. "But Thomas, why? My friends are going there."
"Because I know of that place and it isn't a place for you. I said because you could get into trouble there." He turned his attention elsewhere to indicate the matter was decided.
But Oksana pouted and felt he was being unfair to her, and she would be left out with her friends.
What happened the following night was the sort of thing teenagers typically do. Oksana, under social pressure from her new friends, called him after classes to say that she was hanging out with Maddie at her house but instead went with her and two other girls to that very bar.
At eleven at night, she came home, and Thomas was waiting for her in the living room. At first, he only had an expression of concern for her as she entered. Oksana looked stressed and she was not wearing the jacket she left home with that morning. She looked at him with foreboding and guilt all over her face.
"Oksana, are you okay?" he asked intently.
"Oh Thomas, I, no, I, I am very sorry. I had a very bad experience tonight," she hesitated. "I am scared. I was scared there."
She went to him and hugged him. Thomas took her in his arms and held her to comfort her. But he felt her stress and noticed her jacket was missing. Her hair was also strewn unusually.
"It's alright, you're safe now," he whispered. "You're with me now." But he knew there was more forthcoming.
"Oh Thomas, I am so sorry. I did something very bad. I...I did not, I didn't listen to you."
"What did you do?"
"I went to that bar tonight."
He paused as he held her, and finally said "I see. Why did you do that?"
"I don't know,... I just felt I needed to, I wanted to be with my friends."
"What happened at this bar?"
"We started having fun, with drinks. And then some men came to us. And two of them were speaking with me when I was separated from my friends. They were pushy. Maddie saw this and came to help me... but another guy then stopped her to talk with her. I think we were having too many drinks."
"What did those two guys do with you?" Thomas' tone was getting upset. He held her at arms length now, with his hands firmly on her shoulders.
"They were trying to, to put their hands on me. I moved away but they were trying to put their hands on my bum. I told them I don't want to talk to them and tried to move away, to my friends. But they blocked me. There was another girl, I think she was their friend. She was not nice to me, maybe she was jealous."
"Did they hurt you?"
"No, no, not that. But I was very nervous, and a little scared. They wanted me to have another drink, a beer. I took another sip. But then I realized I should not. And I remembered I was doing something very wrong, and you would be angry with me if you knew I was there."
"Why would you think that?" His eyes peered deeply into hers now.
"Oh, I knew, because I was not supposed to be there. You told me not to go there. Oh, Thomas, I am so sorry."
"What happened then?"
"I left the bar. I told Maddie I don't want to be there anymore. But I think she was ok to stay longer. I don't know, I don't know why."
"So you left by yourself?"
"Yes, I walked out quickly. I went outside to the street. It felt cold and I realized I left my jacket inside. But I didn't want to go back inside now. So I just walked home quickly."
She was now quiet, and looked down. Thomas stared at her.
"Come with me," he calmly said, and walked to the bedroom. She shyly followed.
*************
Back in Barukastan, Thomas had made a promise to Oksana's grandfather that he would provide her with guidance, but there was more. He had promised that if she were to be repeatedly against his guidance, he would raise a hand against her posterior. As she herself had prompted him that this was expected, Thomas was to spank Oksana.
At the time, Thomas found such a promise to be very much at odds with his own temperament and expectation of a relationship with his wife. At the time, it was one of several cultural gaps he felt he needed to deal with but really did not think much of it because there were other things to talk about.
But during one of their walks around the village of Bal, Thomas did bring it up with her.
"Oksana, I've been wondering about what you said to me when we were with you grandfather, about what I was to do if you disobeyed me or did not follow my guidance."
"Oh, yes, well, I think my grandfather was pleased with your explanation," she said. "I myself felt you were fair and I was very happy with what you told him."
"Well, just so you know, it is not in Canada's culture that a husband would spank his wife for something." Thomas said this, of course, understanding that there is a kinky implication that is practiced by some in Canada, but that's something else entirely. Or is it?
