After the breakfast, Ryn returned to the cottage to finally refreshed herself. She changed into a clean set of clothes and quickly washed the dirty clothes she just wore. She chuckled while washing them with her own hands as there was no washing machine available in the cottage.

She hanged the wet clothes outside, just under the coconut tree. There was a string attached to two poles there. She clapped her hands, and the rested them on her hips. She turned and looked at the cottage with a smile on her face.

It was a small cottage but big enough for her. This would be her retreat for these two days. Then, she sighed to herself, she needed to return back to the real world.

"At least I can forget everything while I'm here," she told herself with a forced smile.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath in order to fill her lungs with this fresh air. There was no pollution here. Even at night she could enjoy watching the starts shining brightly in the sky.
