Ojisan, are you alone too?
"Hey! Ojisan, are you alone as well?"
Hey!
After saying that, the young girl went around the balcony and jumped onto the balcony of my flat.
Did she think I was lonely because I looked absent-minded, I wonder? If you ask me if I'm lonely, then yes, I am, I replied.
"I see. Sai is very lonely too, so let's live together!"
"Mama will come home for sure, Ojisan, please live with me for a while."
While I was smoking a cigarette on the balcony, a young girl on the next balcony started talking to me.
When I went to her house, her parents weren't there. There was no furniture in sight. It seems as though they have moved.
Did they leave town overnight?
My flat is on the second floor. If she made a mistake and fell, she would probably be fine, although I was angry at this very thoughtless act of hers.
There was
only a single card-board box contain-ing her clothes.
Was she left behind? I told her
I would take her to the police, but she aggressive-ly refused, crying and half-asking.
I grabbed her hand and went to her flat to have the young girl's parents scold her.
Since that day I began to interact with this young girl who was left behind.
