Hi Rosa, Zirek's showing us his new flat on the ground floor! With three rooms, it's big enough for the whole family! There's just a tap that needs repairing.

Here we are at the airport, Rosa. We're waiting for Zirek’s family. I hope the customs officer is nice! Thanks to the family visa procedure, Zerya will be able to validate her long-stay visa with a fiscal stamp.

Oh, Rosa, I’ve got bad news! We’re at the hospital with Zerya! Zirek had an accident with his taxi this morning! He’s hurt his back and his chest. Thank God he's already seeing a doctor.

Hello Rosa, I’m with Pierre and Diane at the hospital. Zirek is in the orthopedic service. He’s going to have back surgery and he won’t be able to work for SIX months!
