Again, Floyds are making separate galaxy of my room. Lulu’s pulling her snout between my neck and shoulder and purring loudly. I’m observing sweater and pants, draped over the chair, waiting for me to go out from warm quilts.
My two friends are also somewhere under the blankets and we are listening the song of the rain and sounds of my kitten. Candy box of heartshaped marzipan and cup of orange-cinnammon tea are beside the bed.
Later, we go to the forest and to the beautiful ethno village near Poscensko lake. We ride horses, eat homemade bread with cream cheese (kajmak) and drink tea of mountain herbs. The same herbs through which we run as kids, just couple minutes later.
I’m observing, between the ears of my kitten, which is tucked into my lap, a cup of tea is smoking. I hear the sound of cutlery and I see smiles in the dim light. The sun begins to set and the mountains are sinking into sleep almost imperceptibly.
– My kitten, do you know how happy we are now?
-Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. (it’s a yes.)
Ponovo Flojdi od moje sobe prave zasebnu galaksiju. Lulu zavlaci njuskicu izmedju mog vrata i ramena i glasno prede. Posmatram dzemper i pantalone, prebacene preko naslona stolice, kako cekaju da izmilim ispod toplog jorgana.
Moje dvije prijateljice su isto tu negdje, pod jorganima. Slusamo dobot kise i predilicu na mom ramenu. Bombonjera od marcipana u obliku srca i solja caja od narandze i cimeta kraj kreveta.
Kasnije cemo u sume i do divnog katuna kraj Poscenskog jezera. Jahacemo konje, jesti domaci hleb sa kajmakom i popiti caj od planinskih trava. Istih onih kroz koje cemo, samo par minuta kasnije, djetinje trcati.
Posmatram, izmedju usiju mog maceta, koje se ususkalo na mom krilu, solju caja kako se pusi. Cujem zvuk escajga i na prigusenom svijetlu vidim osmjehe. Sunce polako zalazi i planina skoro neprimjetno tone u san.
– Maco moja, znas li koliko smo srecni sada?
– Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. (znaci, da)
