SEQUEL...

Later,the gossip from THE SECRET DOCUMENTS OFFICE called me to account for my morning late.Without any pleasure I walk and when I enter in her's Office I said:
"I was in late ten minutes because the full of the means of conveyance and traffic."
"I don't care,she sais...I'll cut one hour from yours time/check sheet"
"But everyday unpaid working over the programme,Saturdays and Sundays?"I asked her.
"You are dismissed,she yelled."
That moment gossip seems to me as Anna Pauker,the woman which brought over the Russian tanks the communism in Romania.I turn out in my Office talking myself:"For Heaven's sake I have a bad,bad day..."Suddenly,I remember that last year,I was called in this Office.Besides the gossip were two officers in uniformes,one from the Police and the other from the Securitate.They put in front of me a sheet of paper and comandes me to write an engagement for informing the authorities about any so called hostile activities in the Institute and all arround me with regard to socialism,the leader Ceausescu or his family.
"I've finished my millitary service as reserve officer six years ago so I don't accept yours order,I said."
"Who asked you to say anything?What do you know about yours colleaques?said the police officer.
"I work here and I'm not an informer,I murmured."
"We've had just about enough of your insolence.One more word and you'll be discharge,said Securitate officer."
"Anyway I do not write anything and I'm not worried about losing my job because I am too valuable to my employers,I told them bluffing ofcourse."
"Go out! said them in chorus."
I've expected that something happens to me but,later,I realised that it was the frequently used method which they used for everyone intimidation.I hate this Office,I hate the sistem,I hate Ceausescu...fuck'em all.

SEQUEL...

I walk in to my designing office,say hello to my coleaques and begin to work.Few hours later my best friend Gigi comes near to me and asks:

"Might I see the project you are working?"

I allready was smiling.We knew each other allmost eighteen years,from Elementary School,from University to Institute.I like and respect him such as a big brother,because he was two years older than me,and i can discuse any problem with him.

"I was in late today and I'm sure I'll have troubles.Beside that yesterday my older girl was put in Hospital with hepatitis diagnosis".

"Bad news,sais him..."Have you listened last evening Radio Free Europe?"
"Sorry,I was at the Hospital"I said.
"It was interesting,they talk about a meeting for replacement Ceausescu this evening here in Iasi,than,all over the country"Gigi said.
"We would that,isn't it?"I said."But I didn't notice this morning anything uptown or arround..."
Slowly Gigi moves away from me because in my Office enters a group of architects to debate the location of a new Hotel.It was very dangerous to speak about Radio Free Europe these days in Romania.
