“Duva—don’t say that,” he says now to me as he stands up slowly as if with the weight of the world on his shoulders
“What?” I ask
“I have not lied to you,” he says somberly
I consider his ….demeanor
and for a moment I am rather taken aback by something I had not seen before,
“Jörn —to omit a truth ….or a white lie ….but I won’t play judge—but, you see…. I am only —reacting from what has happened and —what maybe is truth?—ok, I know that I don’t know everything ….the whys and the wherefore’s …..but—I think you know what I mean. Don’t pretend.”
He sighs heavily,
“can I ask you then to—wait before you draw all your conclusions ….what ever you might call what you call lies —were never placed in efforts to particularly deceive you; that was not ever the objective.”
