about

They were ready to go. She picked him up at the little hut he had built around himself, a kind of house inside a room. As they started talking, she felt that she couldn't relate to anything he was saying and just became embarrassed. When she looked at him carefully and examined his face, she realized that he was a completely different person to what she had thought. But she was sure that she knew him, knew this face, but couldn't for the life of her remember what name was attached to it. Then she got the feeling that he probably didn't know her name either. The journey continued, they pretended to know each other but avoided getting into situations that required them to say each other's names. As a result they spoke slowly and carefully, they used many words and long sentences. He told her that he had handed her a CD with a mix or a collection of songs that he had made especially for this trip, songs he had chosen especially for her, songs he was sure would fit perfectly with her narrow musical taste. She sometimes still thinks about what songs and bands could possibly have been on this CD. They debated about this CD for a long time. He said that he had been determined to give her the CD as soon as they met and that he had put it in her hands just before they greeted each other. Of course she argued for it, saying that she had never received or even ever seen this CD. Over time her memory changed, new memories formed in her head, as if someone else had planted them there. At first she didn't feel like she had experienced it herself. When she thinks back now, it’s crystal clear, she still has no memory of receiving the CD. But now she can remember that when she was at the check-in counter at the airport, for some reason she did not have a boarding pass like everyone else. As she was trying to check in she received a mobile phone to enter her booking number. She had trouble entering the number because she suddenly held a CD in her hands as well. These two things got jumbled together in her hands until she handed them both over to the agent at the check-in counter. That's how she lost the CD.
