The plane slowly slowed down along its flight path and stopped right in front of a sign that said "Welcome to Cyprus."

Looking out the window at the welcome sign, Mark Parker thought about the full words of Shakespeare. He knew they were from the play Othello. He couldn't remember the full words. He got off the plane.

"What kind of goods do you have to declare, sir?"

The customs officer looked at Mart and asked.

March was looking for Kitty in the field. She couldn't find her. Her mouth was pouting with frustration.

"Two pounds of unopened heroin, and a pair of blue paintings."

The customs officer was just looking at the American people, thinking, "Every American has a little bit of

"Are you okay?"

“Yes, that’s true.”

"Miss Kitty Fremont is too weak to come and pick you up. I have prepared a room for you at the hotel in Crete."

“Thank you, sir. How can I get a taxi to that hotel?”

"I'll arrange it, sir, just wait a moment."

"Okay, sir, I'll wait while I get something to eat."

Matt went to the restaurant in the courtyard and drank a cup of black coffee. His thoughts were filled with thoughts of Kitty.

A strange man recognized him and forced him to introduce himself, saying that he had met him somewhere before. Matt replied politely, and as soon as he got a taxi, he cut off the conversation and got in the car and followed it to the pick-up point. Matt's mind was filled with thoughts of Kitty. It had been eight years since he and Kitty had seen each other. Now that they were going to meet again, he couldn't imagine what kind of person or appearance he would see Kitty in.

Matt and Kitty have been friends since they were little. To say that they were just childhood friends would be an understatement. “Once upon a time there were three childhood friends,” as the song goes, “Ton Fremont.”

Mark, Kitty, and Tom are childhood friends. Kitty is a full-fledged American. Tom is also a full-fledged American. Mark is a slob.

Matt and Ton passed their high school exams and went to university together, living in the same room. Kitty, however, had not yet graduated from high school. Ton was not used to being separated from Kitty, and he kept talking to Matt about Kitty. Halfway through the school year, Ton settled down. He only sent Kitty short and long letters of condolence.

When summer school ends, the two of them rush back to town. Kitty is not in town. They spend the summer with her parents in Wisconsin. Kitty's parents don't want her to get too close to Tom, I wonder. Tom and Matt spend the summer working in the oil fields in Oklahoma.

By the time he reached his second year, Ton had settled down. Ton became the famous scorer on the basketball team. Mark became a newspaper intern.

At that time, Kitty arrived at the university.

Kitty was much prettier than she had been when she was young. Matt always thought that even if he saw Kitty a thousand times, he would never get tired of her. Ton was the same way. A month before Ton received his degree, Ton and Kitty ran away.

Allen and Matt, who had been friends at university, also ran away like Tom and Kitty. The four of them ran away in an old Ford, and even spent their honeymoon in the car.

Tom and Kitty kept their marriage a secret until a year after Tom graduated. Meanwhile, Kitty enrolled in nursing school.

Ton loves Kitty very much. He tries his best to be a good husband. Ton works as a junior officer in the Public Relations Office. Kitty works as a nurse in a children's hospital.

The couple, like any other young American couple, were renting a room. They were also renting a small house. They bought a small car. At that time, Kitty became pregnant. Her daughter, Sandra, was born.

`` Mart and Ellen also married the Tons not long after. Their different personalities were a problem from the beginning. If the wise Kitty had not come between them, they would have broken up before the sun went down. Building a marriage with the help of a stranger could not last long. Finally, Mart and Ellen were legally divorced. Mart was thankful that she did not have children.

After breaking up with Ellen, Matt drifted around trying to be a journalist in places where he could barely stand.

Tom wrote to Marty once a week, without fail. The letters always mentioned Tom's progress and success. Kitty's letters were as calm as Kitty's. In each letter, Kitty always wrote about Ellen's whereabouts. Finally, Ellen remarried, and the story came to a halt.

The beginning of 1938 was a year of great success for Mart. Mart got a job at a foreign news agency. He was stationed in Berlin. Here, Mart was able to show that he was a good foreign correspondent. Mart's name gradually became known in the news world. World War II broke out. Mart was covering news all over Europe. When he arrived at his headquarters in London, he was constantly waiting for letters from Tyton and Kitty.

He joined the Marine Corps in early 1942. Shortly thereafter, he was killed in a beach battle.

Two months after Ton's death, his daughter Sandra died of polio. Upon hearing the news, Matt took a leave of absence and returned to America.

When he arrived, he couldn't find Kitty. Mart searched with all his might. He couldn't find even a trace of Kitty. Mart had to return to Europe to get news.

After the war, I looked for Mark Kitty again. I couldn't get in touch with her at all.

In November 1945, the Nazis were put on trial. March returned to Nuremberg to report. By then, March was a prominent journalist. Mark Parker's articles were considered credible and respected by the world's media.

When the Middle East was at war, journalist Matt returned to Palestine. He heard about an American nurse who was working tirelessly to help orphaned Greek children. The nurse's name was Kitty Fremont.

Immediately investigate. The news is that a nurse named Kitty is in Cyprus.

He was resting. The taxi stopped in front of the Turtle Hotel. It was sunset, and the hotel clerk gave him a room key and a letter.

March.....darling -

I'll be stuck in Farmagusta for about 9 hours.

I really want to see you, please forgive me and wait.

With love

Kitty

Mart smiled as he read. To the hotel clerk

"I'd like a bouquet of flowers, a whiskey, and a few ice cubes."

"Mrs. Fremont has arranged everything, sir. Your room is a two-room suite, facing the sea."

Mart pretended not to see the hotel clerk's sour face and went up to his room. Once he got to his room, he unpacked his things. He took a shower. Then he opened the whiskey.

It's still 7 o'clock. It means we'll have to wait another two hours.

Matt opened the door and walked into Kitty's room. Kitty's things were neatly arranged in their places.

Matt went back to his room and lay down on the bed. The last time he and Kitty had seen each other was in 1938. It was now 1946, so eight years had passed. How many years had passed since Kitty, who had been burned at the stake, had passed through that journey? Kitty was now twenty-eight years old.

March's heart was racing. But the travel fatigue and the whiskey combined made him fall asleep.

The sound of glass and ice hitting each other woke me up. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the number next to me.

"How are you, are you very sleepy?"

I heard the English accent first. Then

"I knocked on the door and waited for five minutes, and finally the room attendant opened the door, so I waited while drinking your whiskey."

The speaker is Major Freckard Dewey of the British Army. In his hand: a glass of whiskey.

Mart suddenly looked at the clock without saying anything. It was 8:15. He didn't say anything to the major.

"What are you doing in Cyprus?"

"That's what I'm going to ask."

Matt smiled. Major Fred was General Bruce Sutherland's secretary. They had first met when Matt had pointed out how the British had been wrong in the war in Holland, and again at the Nuremberg trials. Matt remembered that Major Fred had been very unhappy with him because he had been a bit too harsh on the British.

Mart got out of bed and washed his face. Then

"Now tell me... Freddy, tell me how I can help you."

"CID called our headquarters this afternoon to say you had arrived. What's the matter?"

"My God, you must be suspicious, I'm not going to Palestine, I'm just visiting here."

"Yes, this is not an official meeting either. It's a sudden meeting, so I just wanted to ask if you're curious about anything. Based on our experience when we met before, I'm telling you."

"Oh, Freddie, you have a great sense of humor. Wait, what are you doing here in Cyprus?"

"Don't make any fuss, we British own Cyprus. Just answer what you came to do."

"But it's hard. I told you, I'm here to visit, and to meet an old friend."

"With whom?"

"A girl named Kitty Fremont."

"Oh, I know, I know, isn't the nurse a pretty girl? I think we even met at the governor's reception the other day."

"Hey man, don't be so cocky, we've been friends for the past year or so. Now... if you have no other questions, go ahead," Major Freddy said, rising from his seat.
