"Lawyer!" he said to me slowly but clearly, "I could not have known before that a girl's beauty could be not only her civic and artistic success, but also her tragic danger. But I experienced this myself, and now I have come to you for help, because it seems to me that I have not yet emerged from the danger I have come to tell you about."
An accused person who is at risk of criminal punishment with his entire family, and who has no legal culture, wanders around the city where he lives, and these accused individuals, where they do not go, push their hopes of salvation. But when such a situation occurs, under criminal charges, they go around and around their city. And here they often lie to them, and, when they are rich, they extort money from them, always for an alleged help, which the accused never receives.
These deceived people are miserable people who are actually being lied to by their lawyers who take and extort money from them.
One such person came to my office a year ago and told me his story, but it was even dirtier than what I wrote above.
She was a beautiful girl that I knew, because some time ago I had her sister in my defense in a civil trial. And this was a trial that I won in the competent court. And so the three of us had met often. The sister's name was Elsi and she had graduated in painting, and the girl I'm talking about is called Medisa.
Both are very beautiful, and in Tirana they still often go out together. They are funny, and in the bars where they spend the late afternoon, they are always the absolute favorites of the bar where they are sitting. They drink little alcohol, and they always choose very expensive liqueurs.
Therefore, I received Medisa, who had asked me to meet the day before, in my office at 10:00 on October 20, 2024. And she came alone. But right at the beginning, when, apparently, after noticing that I was perhaps suddenly shocked that she was without her sister; she immediately entered right here, to my surprise at her beauty, and very tactfully said to me:
"I didn't tell my sister, because the matter is very intimate and we need to be alone."
She was very smart and had the humor of a liberal person when she told, even though the issues we talked about and which were her personal ones, had been very difficult for her. But she told them with a light humor where she always beautifully recounted the traps that different boys, men, girls and women had set for her, all related to her beauty. And she was surprising me with her literary eloquence, and especially with the story she was telling me. She would make fun of the forehead or the voice of her courtiers who had passed by, and she would tell me as if she were writing a story about an event, but for all the characters she was describing to me, she would express it by a sign or shape of their face, with which she described the ignorant, or the fat man, who had wanted to reach Medisa as his lover.
"And I was already listening to her with my delight in beauty, when she began to tell, getting straight to the point.
"Lawyer!" he said to me slowly but clearly, "I could not have known before that a girl's beauty could be not only her civic and artistic success, but also her tragic danger. But I experienced this myself, and now I have come to you for help, because it seems to me that I have not yet emerged from the danger I have come to tell you about."
"Okay, I said, I'm listening."
Then the girl began to tell her story:
"As I told you - she said calmly and beautifully - I was only 22 years old, and I was drinking a glass of wine with my friend in one of the Blloku bars in Tirana. Across from me, at another table, were sitting two beautiful girls whom I didn't know by name but only by face, because I had often seen them in that same bar. But I also saw them in the city center, hanging out together from time to time, for a time that lasted maybe three or four months in a row.
"One day, I met one of them on the lawn of the Rogneri Hotel, as she was sitting at a table near and opposite me. But suddenly she got up from the chair where she was sitting, and, after we made eye contact, she smiled slightly, approached me, and said: "Can I?" And I, with great pleasure, said to her on the spot: "Yes, you can sit." And she sat down opposite me."
To be honest, I couldn't understand anything, but because she was so beautiful and had very worried eyes, I knew deep down that she was in trouble, and I felt that everything had come from her beauty, so I listened very carefully when she said to me:
"Lawyer, I know you, and my name is Zina Progni, because six months ago, a close friend of mine, Marjola Bitri, who you know, had a court case where you helped her legally and she was saved from a daily threat that was being exerted on her by an ex-boyfriend of hers, whom she had left. His name was Zaimir Z."
"Po, i thashë unë, e mbaj mend shumë mirë rastin e saj, dhe ia zgjidha çështjen juridikisht me një denoncim në Prokurorinë e Tiranës, ku kërcënuesi i saj, i quajturi Zaimir Z. që ishte një manjak seksual, u dënua me pesë vite burg. Dhe Marjola shpëtoi nga kërcënimi. Para një muaji më kanë thënë se ajo tani është një balerinë e suksesshme në Zvicër".
"Po, në Zvicër është", me tha ajo sërish me një lloj gëzimi. Kurse unë iu shpreha:
"Po ju dëgjo,j zonjush", dhe ajo filloi rrëfimin e saj:
"Avokat, një ditë, befas, në një mbrëmje që po zhvillohej tek bari i hotel Tirana Internacional, pashë se rreth orës 21.00 në atë bar hyri Zaimir Z. U shqetësova pak kur e pashë se unë e dija ende në burg; dhe desha të ngrihesha për të dalë nga bari. Por nuk pata kohe, sepse ai menjëherë u gjend në këmbë te tryeza ime, dhe pa më përshëndetur, më tha: "a mund të ulem?"
"Jo, i thashë, nuk mundeni se unë po pres të dashurin". Kurse ai ngrysur vetullat, dhe pa më thënë më asnjë fjalë, u ul në një tryezën tjetër aty anash meje, gjithë po duke parë nga unë. Por unë që e kuptova se ky nuk qe një takim normal, menjëherë i shkrova mesazh të dashirit tim, duke i thënë: Gjendem në barin e hotel Tiranës, dhe jam në rrezik, hajde menjëherë?"
Dhe ai mu përgjigj në çast në anglisht: "Yes".
"Ashtu po rrija, gjithë ankth, në faktin që Zaimir Z. nuk po m'i ndante sytë. Por nuk kaloi shumë dhe i dashuri im Bernard Tugu erdhi dhe menjëherë, më përqafoi me dashuri dhe u ul përballë meje në tryezën time. Në çast dhe me shumë takt, unë me një vështrim që dimë ta hedhim vetëm ne vajzat e Tiranës, e pashë se Zaimir Z. instinktivisht luajti nga vendi."
" Çfarë ke?" Më pyeti i dashuri. Dhe unë ia tregova të gjithë ngjarjen, por i thashë që të mos shihte nga Zaimiri.
Kurse ndërkaq ia përfundova së treguari të gjithë ngjarjen që kam shkruar këtu lart. I dashuri im që e njihte si emër Zaimir Z., u habit se si shoqja ime kishte rënë në dashuri me një person të tillë. "Ai është një person shumë i rrezikshëm - më tha Bernardi - që njihet në të gjithë Tiranën për bëmat e tij. Si ka mundësi që nuk ia keni dëgjuar emrin, për veprat e tij kriminale".
Por unë nuk dija se çfarë t'i thosha, se shoqja ime kishte rënë thellë në dashuri me të. Por i thashë vetëm kaq:
"E kanë dashuritë e gabura këtë gjendje, por ime shoqe tani e ka lënë; ndërsa ky ende po e kërkon ta gjejë, por nuk e di se ku është, sepse ajo tani ëshrë jashtë shtetit"
"Shumë mirë, më tha i dashuri, dhe i thuaj që atje të rrijë:.
Por pas pak, ai më pyeti me një zë që tregonte shqetësim;
"Po ky tipi e di që ti je shoqe e afërt e Zaiminës?
"Po, e di. Dhe unë prandaj të thirra që ti të vije shpejt ".
"S"ka problem, tani qe do ngrihemi nga vendi, hidhmu në qafë, dhe të dy puthemi gjatë me dashuri ".
And so we did. We stood up after a few moments. and we both sat for a long time in that loving embrace, but when we parted, we saw that he had gone.
"I was scared," Bernard told me, laughing, and continued:
"And write to your friend what you saw with your own eyes, and tell her to stay as calm as possible, because from now on, this guy who knows me, knows that she is under my protection."
And here, both of us seemed to be laughing, we stood up from our seats, and when we parted, I said to him:
"Here's what happened today: our love, exposed to a bandit, saved your friend from him. And this phrase I told you, I beautifully expressed with your melodious voice to your friend as well."
