Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Christopher carried Yuliana up and put her back to bed. She looked tired and worn, as she had not slept well these days.

Christopher wiped away the tears on her face gently and brushed away the hair stuck on her face.

He sat by the bedside for a while before taking the plate of pasta downstairs.

Christopher made his way to the yard outside and lit a cigarette. He stared at the sky, which was covered in complete darkness.

The darkness, coupled with the hot and stuffy air, made him feel suffocated.
