The first time I saw her , I was playing football with the other boys at himmel straße, as soon as a long black car arrived we all stopped.
The car stopped in front of herr and frau Hubermann's house.
Some woman walked out of the car to frau Hubermann.

Frau and herr Hubermann were called Rosa and Hans.

Then Rosa walked to the car and looked through the window.

"Where's the boy?" I could hear her.
It went silent for a minute, the only thing they said was just murmur.
Then Rosa exploded like a grenade.

"We were preparing for TWO children! One boy and one girl!! Why can't their mother look for her children?"
Hans calmed her down with a silent voice.
When Rosa calmed down she walked to the car again and motioned to Liesel to get out of the car. But she just sat there.
Then Hans came, and she did get out.

I don't think I realized how long i stared at her, i was like enchanted.
I had a strong feeling that i had to get to know her.
"What are you all looking at?!" Rosa yelled at us.

Everyone else looked away, but I couldn't.
Until I got a football right in my head.
"Komm 'Loverboy"
