-Come closer,Davit!-The baker called Davit in Georgian.
Davit observed this man quite carefully from head to toe.He had black hair with a lot of white strands and green eyes.He was tall and had very nice facial expression.Little Davit realized,that he was no longer in danger.After meticulously observing his new master,he came closer to the baker.The man hugged Davit:
-Don't be afraid of me!I will take care of you as your father and teacher.Thanks to those thugs,my dream of having a child has finally came true!
-But I have parents!
-Don't deceive yourself,Davit!You lost them and unfortunately,you won't be able to escape from here!Everyone is under strict surveillance here.
-Are you Georgian?
-I am half Georgian and half Greek.My father was Georgian.So,I can speak both Georgian and Greek.
-Then...how did you end up here?
-I have been kidnapped at the age of 13 from the city called Batumi.The baker whom I later accepted as father adopted me and taught me how to bake bread.Apart from learning this,you will also learn Ottoman Turkish and Islam.But,you must grow up first.You will start going to madrassie at the age of 7.You are not yet 7,I guess...
-I am 5 years old.
-I figured it out.Now,sit down on this chair and let's sell these breads together.You will get to know your future mother in the evening.In the meantime, I will ask you questions and you will respond them,okay?
-Okay.Can I ask you questions as well?I'm curious.
-Of course,Davit!
Davit sat down and looked at different kinds of breads.He was starving.
-Can I eat one of these?I am very hungry.
-Here you are,Davit!-The baker passed him the whole round bread.
Little Davit started eating:
-Master,what's your name?
-My name is Yusuf.You can call me father.
-How can I?
-Just try and be used to it!Just give it a shot!
Davit remembered his father.How he had been fighting in order to save him...How he got beaten up...He burst into tears.For a second,he hallucinated his father when he was looking at his master.As if,his father was talking to him instead of this man.So,he said:
-Father!
-Well done,my son!-Yusuf snuggled Davit.
After he hugged Davit,little boy snapped out of it and he realized,that he has just called another man father.He was so devastated.
