LISA

"Jennie Kim, our modern Princess Diana."
Reading out loud the most talked about headline about my girlfriend makes me so proud. Her photos with her community work through helping the poor, visiting places that needs serious help and even providing medical needs to the sick are shown on the tv screen while we're watching the news.

"Oh my god. Sounds like I am having a huge responsibility here in the country, honey. It's scaring me. Princess Diana is my hero and inspiration forever. She is the lady of supreme essence and beauty! They shouldn't tag me just like that. She is more than any gem in this world."
Jennie said as we're having breakfast.

"Love, you can never oppose to what they say. Look, it's been a year that you're doing charity works and you support org groups relating to humanities and the environment. You surprised me, Jennie. Didn't expect that that one favor I asked from you to cover me up when I couldn't take my feet to Africa that time and you're the one who took place to help people there. And you're active from that day on even if I don't ask it from you."
I said happily. God. I couldn't ask for more!

"Lisa, you know what, I also didn't expect this. I didn't expect that there's this space in my heart to do community engagement. But sometimes, I really feel bad whenever I go to places where unfortunate people are in. That's why I am texting you right away if I can pull out some amount from my account and help them or let's make a way how to raise funds for them."
My girlfriend really has the heart to help.

"I told you. You can do whatever you want with your money and I can even add and approve activities for fund raising."
I said.

"Okay, babe. By the way, UN has called me and asking if I can be one of the ambassadors. You were also one of them before right?"
Jennie is a bit hesitant but here I am so excited when I heard it.

"Wow! Really? So, did you accept it, love? Go for it!"
I asked her.

"I told them I should first consult with you."
My Jennie is really respecting my thoughts.

"Baby, how many times do I have to tell you that go and decide on your own."
I assured her.

"But you're more knowledgeable on this so that's why."
She said.

"Yeah. But I know deep inside you that you can weigh things. So if ever you'll approve that, what did they tell you to do next?"
I asked.

"Actually, they asked me if we are secretly married. I said, no, not yet. Lisa hasn't proposed to me yet. So yeah., I am not yet a pure citizen of this country. So, it's still impossible for me to represent France as the UN Ambassador.  And baby, The Cooking Show will have its 5th season soon and I am still their choice of judge and mentor. I think coming in and out of the country is not a good idea."
Ooops! It made me stop chewing my bacon.
Proposal. Is she already giving me a hint that if ever I propose to her, she'll say yes?

"Jennie, what's important is, you are also doing what you love. You're doing great being a mentor of the show. You're also doing great with your community services, love. But I suggest you must think of your happiness too."
I said.

"Yeah. I'm happy with both."
She said.

"What time is your medical mission in Grigny?"
I asked as she has another project in one of the poorest places here in France. God. Thank you for this wonderful girlfriend. She's really so pure and beautiful in every way.
