‘…accompanied by what I thought was a respectable amount of smiles... ‘
How do you arrive at the right amount? There is a post waiting to be written about such conundrums.
I loved that I could imagine you (respectfully) cycling, hear the sound of rain and imagine (respectfully again) the number of heart messages abdul would have sent you.
I am so glad that you choose to share this with us Pritam.
Love these windows you open into your cycling journeys. 😊. The girl from Lebanon took my breath away - people like her are gold. But the phone request was so odd, right. He waited two years to ask that!
Very interesting read
Lovely post! Surprising though that he took such a long time to ask for the phone😀
I don't know. Maybe he was just trying to make conversation!

Also - What is the meaning of conundrum?
Hahaha, thank you for continuing to read! Very happy that (what I consider) sort of spare writing gave you the space to imagine how it felt!
Hmm.... I think conundrum is the persistent beat in your mind that keeps increasing in volume because of a difficult decision!
i will not spare your spare writing even. Remember this. :)

Yes! I think if I spoke Farsi, the whole situation would have been very different. Maybe I would have gained a lifelong friend. So it goes :)
