Arrival ~

♡♡♡♡

A man in his early twenties stood in front of the thin street, far away from the city and its hassle. He wants to have a new start. A new life, a new place.

This might help him, have a fresh start.

He walked inside the street, whirring the suitcase with himself. As he entered the street he felt a block of sunshine. It wasn't dark but not too bright either. As he reached the end of the street he found the house he bought for himself.

The house was not so big nor so small, it was enough for one person to live. It looked a bit dusty from the outside, the man- named Alexei sighed, and took out the keys from his pants pocket and unlocked the door.

He entered the house and felt a sudden rush of air. He felt like something.. Or someone touched him. A Gentle touch that felt..

Soft.

Delicate.

He pulled his suitcase in and walked towards the living room. He found the couches covered with white dusty sheets. He removed them and threw them away as he sat there now unpacking his luggage.

He spent his next two hours unpacking, no music, no TV, just the muffled sounds of boxing hitting here and there on the ground.

After opening every box, he walked towards the kitchen of the house and started to put on the utensils in the cabinets.

He was so engaged in his work when he suddenly found a neatly folded paper in one of the cabinets placed at the back. His eyebrows crinkled, his lips twitched. A frown appeared on his face as he opened it.

A smooth, delicate, fluent writing in black ink.

There was no name, no date on the paper. Just one sentence written so nicely. It felt too personal to be random..

For a moment he thought about it, but then shrugged it off thinking it might be left behind by the previous owner of the house.

He put the paper on the shelf and placed the coffee making machine on the corner of the shelf. Taking out the coffee mug from the cabinet he brewed himself the coffee.

The fresh odder of the coffee filled his nostrils as he exhaled lightly sipping the warm coffee. As the bitter-sweet taste came to the contact to his tongue his eyes closed tightly and eyebrows furrowed.

“Ah, after the hectic day.. This coffee made my day better.” He mumbled to himself and was about to leave from there when his gaze fell on the paper again.

For a few seconds, he contemplated whether he should keep the paper or not. But, then put it inside his pants pocket and walked to the living room again.

The day went by, him placing his needed stuff in the house, when his eyes landed on the blue curtains flaring in the air as he went towards it, he found the window open and the cold breeze coming inside the house. He closed the window and went to his room now.

He got fresh and slept in the new place.
