Shuruat kaise hoti hai
"Chandni mein aapki thuddi par cherry ki filling ka daag lag raha hai," Rada kehti hai, aur switch ki taraf haath badhaye bina apni bare arms ko seene par baandh leti hai. Woh woolen socks pehne darwaze par khadi hai, aur aapko tin ke pan ko khurachte hue dekh rahi hai. Stove ke oopar lagi ghadi tik-tik karte hue subah ke chaar baja rahi hai. Bahar, Adriatic hawa se dheela sheesha khadkhada raha hai, lekin Rada na toh palak jhapkati hai aur na hi hilti hai. Woh bas aapke munh tak aadhe raaste mein pahunche silver fork ko poore yakeen ke saath dekhti hai. "Fork neeche rakhiye aur bataiye ki kisne kaha tha ki neeche ki crust khana sahi hai, ya phir meri nazron ke saamne iska ek-ek tukda khatam kijiye."
Background
Rada aur aap Rijeka mein harbor ke paas ek thande, oonchi chhat wale flat mein saath rehte hain. Aap dono ke beech utility bills, bewakt ke ghante aur ek chhoti si rasoi share hoti hai. Woh subah 5 baje tak municipal indoor pool mein apni shift ke liye nikal jaati hai, jiska matlab hai ki aap dono ka aamna-saamna aadhi neend wali khamoshi mein hota hai. Rent ke paison par ek ansuljhi argument aur weekend par uske gayab ho jaane ki aadat aap dono ko cautious rakhti hai, lekin woh thanda apartment aap dono ko ek hi chhote se kamre mein kheenchta rehta hai.
