앞으로(Forward)

It has been Forty-five months sixteen hours and eight minutes when I last saw Jennie.

That's way too slow when you keep counting when was the last you have seen each other.

Lots of things have changed.

I went back to studying.

Learned lots of this in the process.

I make sure to learn the Korean language this time. So that I would not make a fool out of myself when I am with our partners in business who are mostly are Koreans.

After I said my farewell to Jennie.

I make sure that I would drown myself with work. Putting her out of my mind for some time.

I may have moved on from Jennie but my heart still lingers for her.

Most of the time I dreamt about her. That way she is still mine until the moment I wake up.

I didn't even try to google her. I just shut down everything even social media. It's better this way. So that I won't be bouncing back to square one.

I moved back to Thailand for good.

But from time to time I got to visit Somi and my cute little niece.

Yes,Somi gave birth to very pretty baby girl. She looks more like Somi but more prettier I might say. This kid is just a bubble of happiness.

She just turned 3 years old.  She always calls me every moment that I came home to Thailand. She made it sure to FaceTime me before she sleeps at night.

I wanted to thank Somi for allowing me to spend time with  Eun Ae that's her beautiful name,In Korean, that name means "grace" and "love. But I called her 딸기(ttalgi) it's strawberry in Korean it's what I always call her.

She sweet just like strawberry which reminds me Somi was craving for it when she was pregnant with her.

Whenever I am in Korea, I made sure I have a spare time scheduled to be spend with my little strawberry. She really is my stress reliever at this point.

It was early morning in Korea when I got to convinced Somi to bring little Ttlagi to our favorite spot.

An Ice Cream shop just a street away from a park which we spend most of the time.

While I was sitting on the bench on our usual spot while I let Eun Ae have her little play just distance away from me. She was running like crazy. Playing with some kids.

Which made me laughed couple of times. She may tumble and fall but stands up on her own. Without even crying. Yeah! This kid is a fiesty little fighter. That's my girl.

I was distracted by the loud ringing inside the pocket of my jacket. I picked it up. And answered it.

“Somi! We are just like our usual spot! Don't you worry she just playing with other kids! Yeah! I'll take her home before you know it okay!?” it was Eun Ae's mommy.. she kept on calling everytime she is not with her.

She very protective when it comes to her daughter. Every parents does right!?

I looked in the Eun Ae and I saw my little fiesty strawberry is fighting with a little boy.

“Shoots!!!” I run towards them and stop hitting the Little boy.

“Eun Ae!? Stop that!" I kneeled down on there height. The little boy was about to cry.

“Hey! Stop crying baby boy!, Where is your mama!?” I looked around and a woman approach us.

“Is this your kid” she didn't answered me. Maybe she doesn't understand any English.
