I told Mo all about the old man and he
laughed. He was wearing one of my pyjama tops with the sleeves rolled up. When
he laughed, I wondered about Dada’s house and my old place within the family
and other stuff I don’t like to talk about.
A moment later, Mo asked me if I
loved him. I told him that didn’t mean anything, but I didn’t think so or want to
disappoint him. He looked sad then. But while we were making lunch he laughed
again, for no apparent reason, and the way he laughed made me laugh as
well. At that moment, we heard a fight
break out in Iskra`s place. First we heard the high pitched voice of a women
and then Iskra saying:
“You cheated on me, you humiliated
me. I`ll teach you to cheat on me”:
Then we heard a few muffled sounds,
followed by the woman screaming so horribly that in a flash everyone rushed out
onto the landing. Mo and I also went out. The woman kept screaming and Iskra
kept hitting her. Mo said it was awful and I didn’t reply. He asked me to go
and get a policeman and I told him I didn’t like the police.
