Khakir

Living under the same roof with someone who loves you wholeheartedly is a rare blessing. Khakir, the thirty-two-year-old owner of a small café, was just such a person. Kind and calm, he treated children, animals, guests, and most of all, his boyfriend, Rinat, with equal warmth. The twenty-three-year-old law student, handsome, wealthy, and self-assured, had already earned a reputation as a ladies' man before meeting Khakir. They met by chance at a café, quickly became close, and had been together for two years. Only during this time did Rinat begin cheating again. His friends knew everything, but Khakir had no idea. He continued to greet his beloved with a sincere smile. One day, Rinat came to the café with friends. After ordering food, they switched to Chinese, thinking no one would understand. One of their friends quietly asked, "Are you sure he doesn't know anything?" Rinat chuckled, glancing at Khakir, who was just bringing them coffee, and replied, "He's a lovesick idiot. He won't understand a thing. What a fool, huh?" Khakir set the cups down on the table and, still confused, smiled warmly. He had no idea that at that moment, those for whom he worked hard every day were laughing at his feelings.
