I rang at his door two times, but nobody answered. After the third
ringing, the lock snapped, and I heard somebody’s steps.
“Stop!”, a female voice squeaked, pointing her finger at the bucket
of water behind the door. I cleaning. I not nothing German”. She gave
me a small piece of paper.
Ozan really didn’t like my habits. Beside a small scribbled arrowpierced
heart, he has written: “Tell your NASA people to send a message
to aliens: if they’re in love NEVER to watch our star.”
I grabbed the paper and held it tightly in my hands. My fingers
were warm. Just like the baby’s head.
