Milton Family Laundry Open @rwstarters··

Coming to the laundromat had become a staple in Nazli’s life ever since she moved to Ravenswood. It sorta had to seeing as her landlord had been upfront about there being no laundry hookup in the apartment and it wasn’t like she had any friends or family who would let her do laundry at their place when she had first come to town. Although now she did have a few who had offered she didn’t dare take them up on it, not wanting to take advantage or be a nuisance even if they had been the one to offer. She was content with her late night laundromat visits, it had become almost relaxing in a way sitting in the corner with her headphones in as she graded students work, worked on her next breaking story, or simply took the time to doodle in her notebook. 

Currently she found herself alone at Milton’s which was a rare happening, it could be due to the fact that she had come later than normal, 2am to be exact, but she had been finishing up a piece for the gazette and had lost track of time. She didn’t mind though as she pulled her damp clothing from one of the many washers and deposited them into a nearby dryer, humming away and even singing slightly to a song playing through her head phones, something that she never would have done if there were other people occupying the space. Once her laundry was in the dry and she started to load her coins into the dryer she realized that she was a quarter short. She figured that she needed a snack anyways so would just pick something under a dollar from the vending machine and use the change leftover for the dryer. She stopped in her tacks when she noticed someone else already tapping the buttons on the snack machine. Her cheeks turned red as she looked at the other person, sliding a single headphone from her ear “How long have you been standing there?” She asked in embarrassment.

With her washer and dryer being broke and the part that it needed being on back order, Aylin found herself at the laundromat quite often. Especially with a high energy kiddo who likes to play in the mud more often than not. She didn’t mind, though, because most of the time it was quiet and she could get some writing done in the process. Her daughter had stayed the night with her uncle so that left her alone and well she couldn’t sleep so instead she grabbed whatever laundry they had and headed down. She put her things in and sat in one of the seats, her notebook and pen already out as she started to write.

She hadn’t noticed the other person at first, her mind being in a million places and she felt like she was on autopilot when she left the house. When she started to hear soft singing, she glanced up to see the other woman there who probably hadn’t noticed her presence. She watched her for a few minutes before she decided to get something to snack on. Her gaze was on the different snacks - and she would have to talk to the manager about getting better options because there was slim pickings. Footsteps approached and she could see the embarrassment on the other’s face but she let out a soft laugh. “Standing here? Only about a minute.” She pointed to the chairs that had her belongings there. “But I’ve been here for a little while. You have a nice voice from what I could hear. Let me guess, couldn’t sleep either?”

Is that AYLIN CETIN that I see over there? You know they have quite the reputation by of being the HOPELESS ROMANTIC around town. The 29 year old has been around these parts for 11 YEARS and within that timeframe has landed themselves a job as a/an WRITER while living in SYCAMORE VILLAGE I overheard that they can be quite COWARDLY but their saving grace is that they are LOYAL. They remind me of FRESH SETS OF PENS, FLOWER CROWNS, THE SMELL OF HOMEMADE COOKIES but you’ll have to decide that for yourself.

BIOGRAPHY

trigger warning: cheating/affair, pregnancy

Aylin was born on any ordinary Sunday after family dinner to two young adults trying to make a living in Adana, Turkey. They were high school sweethearts whom thrived to show everybody that they could make something for themselves. Both parents moved on to bigger and better things, attending college majoring in law and English. Aylin could be found sitting next to her mother playing with her toys while the teachers lectured or running around the day care center that they found right outside the college.

Her life growing up was mediocre, but she was happy and healthy and that was all that mattered to the Cetin family. Seven years later and Aylin was walking across the stage with her father when he got his law degree and they moved to their first house shortly thereafter. He got a job as a defense attorney for one of the biggest law firms in the city while her mother got a job as an English teacher at one a private school. Her childhood was anything but boring and she was always running around with her friends. Fast forward to age thirteen and her mother was caught having an affair with one of Aylin's teachers. Her mother moved out and she stayed with her father. Writing became an escape from her reality and she fell in love with storytelling.

By the time that she graduated, she had written her first book. When she turned eighteen, both her and her father moved to the states for better opportunities for the both of them. Her uncle lived in Vermont so they stayed with him for a few months before Aylin moved out to her own small apartment. It was then that she had a one night stand with someone that she met at the bar and a couple of months later, she found out that she was pregnant. She tried to get in touch with the guy but the number was disconnected and the name given was fake.

Months flew by and during this time, she had her first book published by an independent agency and it actually succeeded more than she thought it ever could. She soon gave birth to a little girl, Anya who became the light of her life. She continued to write and over the course of the past eleven years, she had written two more books and moved into a home for her and her daughter. Anya has been asking about her father more recently so Aylin is trying to figure out what she wants to do.
