        The Seventh Hope

        by Honobu Yonezawa

        In a rainy day, we met a 17 year western girl, Marija. She came from Yugoslavia. She came to stay with her father’s friend but the man died before her arrival. We decided to help her. Marija was girl full with curiosity. She asked many daily questions that we never thought of it. It was kinds of mysteries to solve one by one with her. It was in 1991, the time of Yugoslav Wars. Marija stayed two months in Japan and left. She promised to write but we never receive any words from her. We didn’t have her address. Because we were worried of the wars, we decided to find out where did she come from.
