LATI AND YUJI 1#Lati's Table (short story)
2/13/2025Lati always wanted to have her own table; in her imagination, she saw herself as a manager giving orders from behind a large table or as a government employee responsible for a large golden seal, where Lati decided with great obsession to buy her first table.
Lati started looking for the desired table; it should not be too high or too large, but she did not want it to be too small, and it would be preferable if it was a foldable table with movable wheels.
Lati had a limited budget to buy her beloved table; she did not want to borrow money from Yuji despite his promise to help her.
The search journey for Lati's table began in furniture catalogs, shopping sites, and furniture stores, until Lati found the desired table.
It was a 40 x 80 table with four wheels; its height could be adjusted, which made it excellent whether on the sofa or the office chair; it had a white iron frame and a smooth board with a beautiful wood color.
Lati was very excited as she placed her order on a shopping website, as it took a whole week to prepare and ship the table.
Lati's excitement never diminished as she imagined how she would spend her hours at her beloved table writing, reading, and studying.
Finally, the promised day came, as the table was supposed to arrive that evening. Lati waited eagerly by the door of the house, sometimes watching from the window and sometimes from her phone.
But her table never arrived. Lati felt frustrated and sad as her smile faded and her happiness was lost, which made Yuji try to find a solution.
Yuji contacted the delivery company and the marketing website, but to no avail; hours of waiting on the phone while Lati became more sad.
Yuji left the house suddenly and without warning, only to return shortly after carrying Lati's new table. Lati felt extremely happy as she received Yuji carrying her table folded in its own box. She began to ask with interest, Where did you find it, Yuji?It turned out that Lati's table was delivered to the wrong address, and because she did not lose hope, Yuji was able, after persistence and searching, to find it so that Lati would not lose her smile.
That evening, Lati felt extremely happy as she wrote her first story on her new table, and what increased her happiness was that now, like Yuji, she had her own table.
