I let them drink and I just sit in the terrace outside smoking my red Cooper 100s.while I heard some steps approaching my chair..I turned my head back and was Ilirian .I told him come nearby and I handle in his face my pack ..he doesn't smoke but he took one cigarette and he said THE TRADITION OF OUR MAN FOR YEARS ITS WE ARE GIVING CIGARETTES TO SOMEONE WHO COMING AND ENTERING IN CONVERSATION WITH US..CIGARETTES GIVEN ITS SIGN OF RESPECT. YOU ARE SO YOUNG BUT KNOW THIS RESPECT. YOU WILL BE A GREAT MAN IM SURE
I smiled at him and I said ONLY GOD KNOW OUR FUTURE .ITS DEPEND ON US HOW WE GOING TO CONSTRUCT OUR LIFES AND ITS JUST OUR STEPS DECIDING. I LIKE TO WALK WITH LOYALITY AND HONESTY.I WILL TRY TO RESPECT MY SELF AND THE PEOPLE WHO HANDLING MY HAND
he keep looking at me and he approved with head what I was talking about. later on while we was admiring the stars in the sky and some fireworks somewhere far from our place he broke the silence and ask me
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR FATHER...WHO IT IS AND WHERE IS NOW.
I just press the blushing button in my face and I breath deep..HES DEAD LONG TIME AGO.HE WAS A GOOD MAN AND HES PROTECTIN THE FAMILY
like that I heard from the teacher in the orphanage house where I come from
