A Tent

We ran to his house. Several times I stopped as if I had fallen forward because of how fast we were running.

He took two or three pairs of clothes, some ready-to-eat snacks and also his gun and ammunition which he put in his mountain bag.

" Let's get out of here for a while "

" Where are we going ? "

" We'll be hiding among the foreign tourists somewhere "

A few minutes later we arrived at a place like an outbound. Several foreign tourists and local people from other areas filled this place.

The place called "Eco Center Blagaj" is deliberately intended for visitors who want to spend the night with a tent. The place is shady and cool like being on top of the peak.

" Go inside, and sit among the foreign tourists on the wooden benches over there. I'll be back with the tent "

" You won't leave me alone will you ? "

" Listen, I'll be back. Come on in ! "

" Hurry back, I'm waiting for you "

I just joined and chatted with foreign tourists mostly from Austria and Hungary. I made myself look as natural as possible so they thought I was part of this foreign group.

About thirty minutes later, Nijaz actually came back with the tent and immediately set it up at the very end near the rock.

" Let's go into the tent, we will hide here tonight, I will threaten the guards not to tell us "

" Are they going to look for us ? "

" Of course, I owe a lot to that rich city "

" Why? Aren't you selling drugs ? Where's your money ? "

" Money is for fun of course. For drinking and women. We don't have enough money to supply weapons from Russia, the rich dealer will trade them for drugs, but it's not enough "

" Crazy ! Why do you have to think about it ? Isn't that the duty of the state and they have a lot of soldiers right ? "

" We have two presidents here, we don't need their long decisions, they can't do anything. And our army is very small, all men in this country must join to defend the country "

" When will the war start ? Are you coming back ? "

" Anytime can happen, depending on what they are doing at the moment. We must always be ready for any eventuality. So please leave here tomorrow morning "

" Are you going to survive and go visit me ? "

" I don't know. Just because I'm the head of a gang doesn't mean I'm the strongest. Life and death can happen to anyone "

" Then I will die here with you. The women also don't leave here, I will be with them waiting for you "

" Why are you so stubborn ?! "

I didn't hear it and didn't answer it either. We sleep on our backs. Then I approached him and hugged him from behind.

" I love you Nijaz, I want to live with you "

" You must be crazy "

" Yes, that's how I am. I was crazy before I met you "

" Unfortunately I don't like crazy people "

" But Crazy people usually stick around right ? "

" Hahaha.. That's why I don't want to "

" How about this ? You still don't want to ? "

Half awake I kissed his cheeks, neck, ears and hair, and rested my head on his head.

" Hahahaha.. stop you driving me crazy "

" Aren't the two Crazy people compatible ? "

Suddenly a small voice came from inside the stomach.

" Cluck.. cluck.."

" Are you hungry ? "

While smiling he asked me.

And I just nodded in response.

He took out some ready-to-eat snacks that he had brought.

" It's delicious.. try it "

I approached his face while stuffing these cookies on him.

" Good isn't it "

" I already know "

Then I kissed his lips while eating snacks over and over again. And he started imitating me. Then we laughed happily.

Finally a passionate kiss dropped our bodies on the floor of the tent. And we closed our eyes while hugging, he gently stroked my hair a few times and kissed my forehead.

" Ohhhh... I miss this scent "

~~~~~~~~~~

The voices of several people came like the roar of a storm that ravaged this place.

" Hej matori reci ta je Nijaz ovdje ?! Samo ovo mjesto na kojem nismo bili "

( Hey old man say what Nijaz is here ?! Only this place we haven't been to yet )

One of the members of the rich bookie lord's mob began to speak.

" Ništa, ak ni ne znam Nijaza "

( Nothing, I don't even know Nijaz )

" Hej nema veze brate, samo pretraži ovo mjesto "

( Hey never mind bro, just search this place )

The other members chimed in.

We started to feel restless and Nijaz suddenly told me to hide behind a towering rock. And he ran to the rock-climbing board and started climbing it so that none of them noticed.

I hid behind a large rock that looked more like a high cliff. My step back made me slip and fall down, lucky I was still able to hold on to one of the sharp stones in the middle.

" Nijaz .. help me , I beg you please help me , my fingers are not strong enough to support my body . I 'm afraid of heights "

I screamed in my heart. I wanted to scream for real.

" Nema nikoga brate, idemo "

( There's no one bro, let's go )

" Hej stari, ako sacriješ nešto, ubit u te kasnije "

( Hey old man, if you hide something it will kill you )

Nijaz quickly descended from above on a rope without using a foothold and looked for me.

"Julie, juliett. Where are you? Julie... Julie.."

" Nijaaaaaaazzzz... Help me "

" What happened to you, wait I will bring you a rope "

~~~~~~

" Hold on tight I will pull you with this guard man "

He came back after a while with the guards of this place and pulled me up.

" Hej sine, vas dvoje idite kod Derviša i pitajte tog svećenika za savjet. Ometate mi radno mjesto "

( Hey son, both of you go to dervish's house and ask that Ulama for advice. You are disturbing my work place )

" Ao mi je gospodine, uskoro odlazimo "

( I'm sorry sir, we're leaving soon )

Nijaz hugged me while patting my shoulder.

" You are okay ? "

" Yeah, I'm fine now "

" I'm sorry. Let's go somewhere else "

" Yes, of course "

Nodding my head I answered.
