It is quiet unclear to me if Mr. Reteche felt the same way to Zita. And the letters which he kept on receiving during his stay made me think that those were from his left loved in the city. And it gave me an idea that obviously, his past lover (if my assumption was right) was also named “Zita” which reminded him everytime he saw Zita, “He started pronouncing it and then he stopped as if he had forgotten something and just stared and stared at the paper in his hand. I heard my name repeated three times through his half-closed lips, 'Zita. Zita. Zita.'”
