After wiping his lips Lajos lit a cigarette, loosened his belt... and I cuddled up to him, because everyone has to have somebody... I was very happy with him... he lived like this door...similar... to the one in the house where I used to be a servant. He had a huge Harley Davidson motorcycle on which we always travelled at top speed, just like in the movie... every Sunday. Then the war started... he was taken away because he was a Jew... What a day it was when he turned up again! By then I had been working as a servant in a big block of flats in Pest, and all of a sudden Lajos was standing at the front door... Since then he was in Pest every Sunday... I thought we made our way in the world... I joined the police, ...I wouldn’t be a maid any more... Then I was posted to Tarcsa, to the women, there where the camp was... It was said, that they were all enemies... and I did not think that I was dangerous in my role... only then when Annuska, my commander, was brought into the camp as a person under arrest... I did not understand anything, but nobody was brave enough then to ask questions. Then everything got more and more chaotic... the camp was liquidated, everybody went home... and I was left alone, completely alone, because even Lajos left... I would have sacrificed my life for him... but he left me, he had not sent a message either...But I did not regret anything, although I did not know why he had left me and what the future held for me... It was beautiful... love... true love... and it will always be mine.
