Baada ya dakika ishirini, alisimama katika uwanda mdogo ambao hakuwa ameuona katika ramani yoyote. Paka mmoja alikuwa amelala kitini. Mzee mmoja wa kike alikuwa akining'iniza nguo kutoka uwandani.
"Samahani," Sofรญa alimwita. "Je, unajua njia ya kwenda jumba la makumbusho?" Mzee huyo alikunja uso wake na kutoweka ndani. Sofรญa alidhani amekuwa mkali. Lakini dakika moja baadaye, mwanamke huyo alitoka nje ya mlango wa mbele wa jengo, polepole, akishika karatasi.
Alikuwa amechora ramani ndogo kwa mkono. Mitaa mitatu, pembe mbili, chemchemi moja. "Usiiamini simu hapa," alisema kwa Kiingereza kidogo. "Simu hupotea akili katika mtaa huu."
Sofรญa alimshukuru. Hakukipata jumba la makumbusho siku hiyo. Aliiweka ramani hiyo ya karatasi kwa safari yote.
