In this story, the protagonist reflects on the joy and anticipation associated with salary day, referred to as "HAPPY DAY." For many salaried individuals, this day signifies a brief period of freedom and enjoyment, where they celebrate by going out, shopping, and spending quality time with loved ones. The protagonist shares how they used to cherish these moments, spending a few days feeling like the richest person in the world, despite the realization that they often overspent. As the salary day approaches, the protagonist feels immense pressure about how to communicate the situation to their partner. They have a routine where they notify each other as soon as the salary is credited, but this time, the protagonist knows that the salary will not arrive. When they return home, the partner innocently asks about the salary, and the protagonist has to break the disappointing news that there will be no salary this time. This leads to a moment of silence and shared sorrow, culminating in tears as they process the unexpected turn of events together.
