My discharge note wrote “Cured.” That is, I was now healthy and safe for my family and my fellow citizens. Signed and sealed.
“Didn’t they get her out too soon?” asked the neighbours.
“No, they kept her as long as it was necessary. There’s also the kid. He wants his mother… Mainly, for the kid’s good, she had to come back home…” answers Panos to all of them.
We lost contact with Eleni when we were discharged from the clinic. You see, at the time, communication wasn’t easy. I try to write to her, since we don’t have a phone in our house – like she does. My letters, I find them fake and tear them all: “I’m fine, happy with Panos and the kid. I wish the same to you.” False and hypocritical. I only want to say truths to Eleni.
No, I’m not well, I’m not happy, but not exactly unhappy either
