The door of the apartment opened, Zoe came inside, took off her coat and hung the keys in the keyholder. She then sat on the couch and said to herself, "Ah Zoe! It was a very tough day. I am so hungry, I hope there might be something in the fridge to eat". She then stood up and moved towards the fridge, there she found a leftover slice of pizza that she ordered last night. So, she warmed it in the microwave, went back to the coach and ate it. A lot of noises of heavy machinery was coming from a nearby construction site. The woman in the next apartment was yelling at the workers and cursing them for making noises all the time but Zoe was unbothered, she was just focusing on eating as she was very exhausted and hungry.
" I think I should take a shower and take some rest", she said to herself. So, Zoe went to her room to take a shower. After taking the shower, she sat on a chair in her room. By that time, the noises were stopped, she took a deep sigh and said, "Thank God! the noises have stopped, now I can relax peacefully". She then sat on the chair in her room, while sitting on the chair, old memories caught her mind. She started thinking about those old memories and while thinking about those old memories, she rewound those moments she spent with Harry; her childhood friend and first love. "So it's been three years and 6 months now", she said while taking a deep breath. "God knows how I have spent this time without you, I wonder if you also miss me or not?", she said with a low voice. "What am I thinking? Why won't he miss me? I was his childhood friend, I had always been there for him. Of course he'll miss a friend like me. He won't have a friend like me there", she said with pride in her voice. While closing her eyes for a while she started imaging him in front of her and smiled.
After a while, she stood up and went towards the dressing table, took out the hairdryer from the door and started drying her hair. While drying her hair she looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. The previous dates on the calendar were crossed. While looking at the calendar she said with a smile, "Only 6 months are left". Then she got upset and said, " But 6 months are not less...". As she was talking to herself her phone started ringing. "I think it's Harry", she said and ran towards her bag. She opened the bag and grabbed her phone. It was her mother. With a disappointing look on her face, she picked up the call. "Hey sweetie! how are you?", her mother said. "I am a fine mom . How are you and how is dad?", she replied. " We are fine. How was your day and have you eaten something?", her mother asked. "Yes, I have. The day was very tough. I was exhausted so, I just took a shower and decided to rest", Zoe answered. "Ok dear then go and have some rest, I'll talk to you later. Bye", after saying this her mother hung up the phone. Zoe said with a low voice, " Bye", and placed the phone on the table and went back to dry her hair. After drying her hair, she kept the dryer back in the door and stood in front of the window with agony. She was once again thinking about Harry and this time her eyes went watery. After thinking about him for a while, she wiped up her tears and laid on the bed.
