CHAPTER I
At the right side of the sliding door of the uppermost apartment at the highest right corner of a four-storied duplex, a name plate reading Kyway Shin Thant, No. 16 is embedded in the wall. The window at the right side of the door, screened by the square mesh let see through a light green curtain of lace into the room.
A man wearing Ray ban sun glasses and a black T shirt stood by the window and stared into the sitting room.
The settee was not complete anymore but had only a double sitting chair apart from the table. Two folding chairs with faded polish stood here and there at the mid of the sitting room. Two dark green plastic stools were near the table. The faded green colored telephone on the table looked as though unwilling to enhance the dignity of the table.
On that settee, a young woman was sitting with the left knee on the seat and her right leg stretched out not quite touching on the floor.
