Days passed, and each one felt like an eternity.
I found myself pacing around the apartment more often, restless and uneasy.
The microwave-shaped void in my kitchen seemed to grow larger, a constant reminder of my helplessness.
Every meal became a chore, the lack of convenience dragging on my spirit.
Finally, one evening, as I sat picking at a cold salad, my phone rang.
It was an unknown number.
“Hello?” I answered, my voice tentative.
“Hi, this is the appliance repair service,” the voice on the line said.
My heart skipped a beat.
“We’ve received the order for your microwave part. It should arrive soon, and we’ll schedule a repair appointment as soon as it’s here.”
