Pre mesec dana uselio se nov komšija u naš stan ispod. Zove se Ivan i odmah mi se učinio .

Ivan je i prilično , uvek nosi plavu jaknu i stari smeđi ranac. On je čovek - nikad ne čujem muziku iz njegovog stana, samo ponekad tihi smeh kroz zid.

Njegov stan je , ali i uredan. Na balkonu ima mnogo cveća u malim vazama, zeleno i žuto, a zavese su svetlo plave. Ispred zgrade parkiran je njegov auto - , i pomalo kad krene ujutru.

Iako izgleda tih, Ivan je zapravo vrlo i uvek spreman da pomogne. Prošle nedelje moja torba je bila previše , i on ju je odneo do trećeg sprata bez ijedne reči žalbe.

Ponekad sedimo na terasi i pričamo o svemu - o poslu, o gradu, o tome koliko je život ovde drugačiji nego u malom mestu odakle dolazi. On kaže da je naš grad i , a njegovo rodno mesto i mirno, i da mu nedostaje tišina. Drago mi je što imam takvog komšiju.
