Chapter 70

Mrs. Liam greeted me when I arrived at the apartment. He asked me what dinner menu I wanted to eat, and I thought of Khao Pad or, as people call it, fried rice with mixed seafood. Mrs. Liam smiled and was happy to make one for me. I rushed to my room to change and shower; the smell of fried rice aroused my appetite. I ran into the kitchen and walked over to Mrs. Liam, who was preparing dinner; I was sitting at the bar table in this kitchen. The lady offered me avocado juice; she was very dexterous and competent according to Reyhan ’s standards. Thinking of Reyhan makes me sad; I could have accepted his offer to come with him to Germany so I wouldn’t feel lonely, but I have a job, and I don’t think my being there is enough to help him with his work. Mrs. Liam discussed a natural topic and asked how her daughter was doing. She said her eldest daughter wanted to meet me because she idolized me. I smiled; even after I quit the world that raised my name, I still have fans. I promise to meet her when she has free time, maybe this Saturday or Sunday. Tonight can pass quickly; I lay in bed after a few minutes spent watching Netflix broadcasts. It is effective because it makes me sleepy. I turned my face to the side of the bed Reyhan used to sleep on. I missed him, and it felt different when he wasn’t here with me; I exhaled to dispel the melancholy that swept over me. Oh my God! What is wrong with me?? Why am I crying so easily lately?? I closed my eyes to dispel the tightness that would push me to call quickly, but I didn’t want to cry because Reyhan was back with me again tomorrow.
