If you go away …
Tony slowly comes closer, he has a backpack and he smiles and looks at her … “If you go away on this summer day, then you might as well take the sun away.” Lara! We are together again. How wonderful! And now for the surprise of your life, it is in the bag! Sorry but be patient, I have something to tell you before the great moment. Do you remember that ugly little twit sitting in the front row in the maths class? He had only three things on his mind; sin, cos and tan! And you? That blond blue-eyed head girl that all adored! After school when walking back the long way to the children’s home on the other side of the railway, I always saw your dad picking you up at the front gate in that huge black BMW. Lara, then once a week you caught my eye and will ask something like, “Tony, you on your way? Can I help? Ready for matric farewell?” Matric farewell? What a joke, paid by whom? I went off to the war, we never heard of each other, then your letters came week...
