"Okay," he said, nodding too. We look at each other for a while and before we know it, both of us burst out laughing at each other. Suddenly, it felt like everything can be left behind. Like every trouble, every problem can be forgotten. Just in this moment. In this very moment we're having with each other, it was as if nothing else matters anymore. Like they're no longer a big deal... When we stopped laughing, I look at his smiling face while he is looking at the ground. And I wonder... "So what happened to your dad? Is he still punishing you now?"

Ivan give out a long sigh before he answers me. Like there's a huge weight in his heart and he's about to let it go. "No. He's in a mental institution now. He tried to kill himself when my mom left him. He can't accept the fact that his life is not perfect," he spoke sadly yet calmly like it no longer matters but I know he's somehow feeling bad about it.
