May you be happy too!

"Zineta", I said, "why don't we open a dating service? We could earn a lot of money with it."

The room has a homey atmosphere. Outside, the contours of the world become blurred in a light, blue as the night; it is warm, the baby Lisbeta is asleep between blankets with the bottle in her mouth. A pregnant woman is resting in the second bed.

Zineta and I are sitting on the edge of her bed. On the table in front of us is a slip of paper, with lots of numbers on it. Two- and three-figure sums stack up to a column that describes the monthly costs. A lawyer will take care of all numbers with just one digit and two zeros. 36 stand for public transportation every month.
The sum below the line is not enough to live a decent life.

Zineta's room, too small to house life in its diversity, looks like the inside of a crystal ball. We are giggling - without doubt we would make fantastic marriage brokers.

Attractive male, 24/190, charming and with a smile to enchant her; his glance is of a velveteen mourning and his nights are sleepless due to solicitudes. Widely traveled, he longs for a normal life, personal happiness and togetherness. He dreams of a demure lady with German citizenship to marry as soon as possible. Languages: English / Dari.

"Where are you?" Fun-loving young woman from the Balkans is looking for a caring, financially independent man with German citizenship to take over paternity of her unborn child.

The petitioner, who seeks a good match for an acquaintance, looks at us from his chair in disbelief. The business idea of a dating service had been an attempt to reject his request by means of irony. Whether I know a German man, willing to get married, he had asked me. A demanding undertone was unmistakable. Most of those who had come to see me in the same matter had searched for acquaintance with a marriageable German woman. The demand for men was significantly lower.

When answering with utmost discomfort to those who pestered me, "What do you think? Where should I take those from?" they would not understand my rejection.

"I have to bake bread," Zineta says.

Aish -  bread, life, and love in times of deportation.
