I just smiled back in reply.
Tears fell from her swollen eyes, as if she knew what I meant. As if she understood what I wanted to say.
"I am sorry" more tears fell from her eyes as she said, "I am sorry"
"Why are you apologizing?"
"Why does it always have to be you?"
"It's okay"
"Why everything happens to you"
"I am fine"
"This always happens. Why do you have to bear everything? Even back then--"
I wiped her tears and said, "I am okay, Lier"
She looked at me and said, "Even though I am here with you, you look so lonely"
"I am fine"
"Should I call Elena?"
"She will be here for the funeral"
"You didn't get to spend your night with her"
"Yeah"
I leaned closer to kiss her, but she turned her face the other way saying, "I don't want to do it right now"
She got up and started washing my hair.
After washing my hair, she applied conditioner.
