Sophie and I are having the time of our lives when we see all the adults running in every direction to catch their children or to hide.
Are they playing hide and seek?
At first we are not alarmed at all, we only start to suspect something when I spot my mum running, as she has ever done, in our direction. She doesn't have a face of good news....
《Linda! We have to make ourselves safe, the same for you, Sophie! We are no longer safe here in Poland, Germany is invading us again, after twenty years!!》
We're really about to be conquered by Germany, once again... why us!!!
《In addition, I heard that the Soviet Union is also invading us, they made a pact or agreement about our invasion! I don't know precisely, the reason but I know that we have to escape from this place!》
Exclaims Sophie's mum, who has just arrived here at the park to pick Sophie up and take her home. A question arises in my mind, but I'm afraid to ask... I just want all this to be just a bad dream and that I will wake up tomorrow morning and everything will go back to the way it was, I will go with Sophie to the park, we will have fun and continue to live peacefully here in Poland. But unfortunately this dream is too realistic, and from a beautiful and fun dream it has become a nightmare! The roads are very busy, so many are leaving by car, for who knows what destination, maybe they are going to Italy, life is better there, and safer too! Mum took me there a total of 10 times, since I was 2 years old we used to go to Italy once or twice a year, to visit Florence or Venice, and Rome, once also Naples and Milan. Or viggiano to Romania, a beautiful country, my mum took me there when I was 5, and it was beautiful!
《Mum! 》
I say all of a sudden, attracting my mum's attention. She with a concerned but still kind smile, asks me to continue with her gaze.
《They'll hurt us...the Germans...》
My mum looks with a look mixed between sad and desperate and answers me.
《Honey...I don't know, what the Germans have in mind...but I'm sure we'll be safe, and you know why! We're going to France, to Paris, you wanted to go there so badly, and it's also relatively safe, and if you want we can then also go to the Kingdom of Italy and the United Kingdom, do you want to? 》
My mum explains, with a calmness that doesn't suit her current behaviour.
《Dad, where is he? 》
I ask him noticing his absence at home.
My mum with a low look tells me.

Dad wants to stay here in Poland, if things get worse he'll join us! But for now he doesn't want to arouse suspicion from the authorities.》
《Okay, so daddy won't come and stay here at home alone.
《All right, Mom. But will he be there to greet us? 》
I ask him, wanting to know how long until I see him again.
My mum, he replies.
《I'm not sure, but he might be there to greet us.》
As soon as we got to the front door, my dad runs down the stairs and goes to my mum and says to her, things I find strange to understand.
《They're looking for her! He's looking for her, and he knows she's here! Avoid Italy and go to America or go to Switzerland where you change your identity and you'll be safe! 》
My mum is shocked by the news and bursts into tears. I hate to see my parents suffer, although from what I understand, it has nothing to do with them. But about someone finding a girlfriend? Maybe a family member? Maybe.
