Ten Minutes on Sundays
Tanina, the older sister, left for Ouargla before Tiziri started working, and calls on Sunday afternoons. She's always the one who calls: ten minutes, and they hang up at the same time. She's been with Aksil for four years, and he lives in Berriane, three quarters of an hour by car to the north; they see each other on her days off, two or three times a month, and neither of them calls that little. Among her people, those distances are simply accepted.
