Ugyen hesitated. “Thank you. What about you?”
“Qualified.” She stood there a while, fidgeting.
“Why don’t you come inside? I will tell Au Samphel.”
“No, I came to tell you the result.” She thought for the
suitable words to say sorry, but Ugyen smiled at her with
a great deal of pain in his eyes. She couldn’t hold back

Ugyen smiled. “Wish you a happy life ahead.”

Samphel went to his college to collect his certificates to
apply for architect training. As per the plan, he would stay
at Sherubtse College until Ugyen joined.
At dawn, Ugyen readied his luggage and went to the
kitchen. Au Lham was preparing breakfast for him.
“Tea, please,” she said.
“Thank you, Au.”
