Neda Balluku has shared another touching post on Instagram, this time telling the story of a mother trying to meet her child after learning that he is sick. The post comes after several public statements regarding the difficulties in meeting the two sons, following her separation from Ogren Balluku. FollowStars
Neda chooses to write in the third person, without mentioning names and without directly identifying the story as a personal experience.
"A mother today, knocked on a door for seventeen minutes to see her little one ," she begins the article, describing the mother's repeated attempts to see her son.
According to the story, after learning that the child is sick, the mother goes early in the morning and knocks on the door, but is told that the little one is sleeping. She returns again at noon and then in the evening, when she learns that the child is not there.
The last attempt lasts seventeen minutes. The mother continues to knock and call her son's name, hoping that he will hear her.
"And he knocked on the door for seventeen minutes without stopping. But he couldn't see the little one," Balluku writes.
At the end of the story, another child opens the door for his mother. Neda describes this moment with the words: “Rejecting him in the eyes like a man. But opening the door for him like a child.”
Although it does not clarify the identities of the characters, the writing takes on a special meaning in the context of Neda's previous statements about her relationship with her children after the separation.
In November 2025, during an interview on "Goca dhe Gra", she confirmed that she had filed for divorce from Ogren Balluku, with whom she has three children. Neda stated that their relationship had been difficult for years, emphasizing that she wanted to manage the situation privately for the sake of the children.
In January 2026, the disputes between the former couple became the subject of court proceedings. According to reports, the Tirana Court issued an immediate protection order in favor of Neda, while rejecting a subsequent request by Ogren Balluku for the same measure. During the process, both parties filed claims against each other, while Neda stated that she was prevented from meeting her sons.
But what is known about custody and visitation with the children? According to reports, the two boys live with Ogren Balluk, while the girl lives with Neda.
In October, in an Instagram post, she revealed that the two boys would always have their own room in the house she lived in with her daughter, no matter when they decided to come. The latest post continues the same theme of absence and waiting.

"A mother today, knocked on a door for seventeen minutes to see her little one. Seventeen minutes is more than thirteen thousand heartbeats, but she couldn't count how many knocks on the door. She couldn't because with every knock she called her little one's name."
An anonymous sparrow had told her that her little one was sick. So when the sun rose, she went to knock on the door, but was told that the little one was sleeping.
When the sun was beating down on the cold at noon, he went back to leave more heartbeats under an intercom. But he couldn't see the little one.
Then, when evening was approaching, the mother went once more to look for him. But the little one was not there. And finally she thought that night had already arrived. The stars are in the sky, even though she could not see them.
And he knocked on the door for seventeen minutes without stopping.
But he couldn't see the little one.
They had put him in a cage.
Thirteen thousand heartbeats called out the little one's name in the hope that her voice would overcome the walls and reach the little one's heart's ear.
Beyond the door, the little one had taken his heart to sleep.
While the adults beyond the door have killed their hearts. If they ever had hearts.
Beyond the door, another little one was resisting his mother.
Rejecting him in the eyes as a man.
But opening the door like a child."
