The Series Of My Life - Season 1 - Episode 41

WE got to Brandenburg an der havel at exactly 4 pm on a cold October evening.

There was no direct train Eissen to Brandenburg.

We had changed at Berlin Ostbanhof Station, One of the three largest Stations in Berlin and the entire East Germany.

My stay with Agnes in the train was awkward. There was no tangible topic to discuss, so we just kept quiet and concentrated on ourselves.
When we got down at Berlin Ostbanhof, we sat down inside the station and ate peanuts. Our next train was 30 minutes away.
'' Did you really tell that little girl what you said to me'' Agnes asked me.
'' No, I did not.'' I said.

She looked at me for more explanations.
'' She found a used condom on me and freaked out'' I said.

Agnes looked at me and said nothing.
'' I had sexxx with a fat German woman yesterday at her place and forgot to throw the Damn thing away'' I continued.

I begged her to forget what happened but she refused, so here we are'' I said.
'' I believe in Destiny Agnes and whatever that will be will surely be'' I said again.
She just kept quiet and listened.

I told her that when I first came into the camp, it was her that stole my heart and attention, then Melinda surfaced and passed through. I also told her that Awiti was just part of my history which I would write someday (and I am doing that now).

I also told her that destiny was more interested in keeping me and her together and it was left for us to work on making it count.
She said nothing as I led her through wise sayings and divine jargons etc.

*I was the prophet, Solomon the wise*
When our train arrived, we boarded it and proceded to Brandenburg an der Havel.
When we got out at the Brandenburg train station, a bus was standing outside. We asked the driver if he was going to HEIM..(HEIM is a permanent base where the asylum seekers are accommodated until the Germans certify you good enough to live among the population. We were in Eastern Germany where racism was still rampant, so keeping us together was for our own security)
The bus driver nodded and we entered the bus. The ticket we collected from camp did not cover the bus, so we bought new tickets.

Ten minutes later, we arrived in front of the heim.

A fat middle aged woman (We later gave her a nickname; IYI) opened the house door as we pressed the bell.

We presented our papers to her. She directed us to the office inside the house where we were cleared properly.
