An unexpected love

Chapter 1

On the morning of her 29th birthday, her mother's voice sounded in her head: "You are almost 30, and you behave like a seventeen-year-old teenager! Think about the future!" ..

Like a teenager .. involuntarily remembered her 17 years. Constant hangouts with friends, tasting everything that contains alcohol, the first joint, it is also the last, immediately the first sex with the most "enviable", as it seemed then, male representative from their company, in fact, this is boring and inept sex with a man, too, was the first and last.

She grimaced, shook her head, pushing away unnecessary surging memories, gathered her strength and, struggling with gravity, got out of bed.

But today should be special. It's almost her birthday, which means that before she's over 30, she needs to do something that, in her opinion, thirty-year-olds should no longer think about.

It was Friday, a grandiose celebration was planned in one of the most luxurious places in the city.

After arriving at work and receiving congratulations from her subordinates, Minji locked herself in her office. Leaning back in her chair, she took a deep breath and plunged back into her memories...

Exactly 10 years ago.. on her birthday. Which she can't forget to this day. It was on this day that the world changed colors, and her eyes acquired an icy tint. And she herself lost love, purpose, meaning, joy, emotions. No, no one died, no one was hit by a car. She just heard one of the most painful, incomprehensible and indifferent phrases: "I don't love you anymore." What is this phrase anyway? How can she end the relationship? Well, say: "I cheated", "We are not suitable for each other", "I'm going to Antarctica to save penguins" and so on! But it's not that you no longer feel anything for this person. This automatically makes her/him feel guilty, worthless and self-pitying.

And then the weird days start. You can go to work, you can shop, you can talk, God, you can even breathe, but it's all like under a dome. A shell around you that shrinks. It gets smaller and smaller, breaks bones, chest, feeling that the whole body bleeds, the pain is actually unbearable, and if you freeze, you can even hear a terrible scream .. from the inside. A terribly sick cry, and then you understand that you have a soul. You just heard the scream.

And at this time, you can cry. Without any reasons. Standing in line, on the way to work, in a dream, while you cook. The tear ducts cease to obey and live according to their own schedule. And yes, the brain stops working. He constantly thinks, remembers, rummages through the storerooms of memory, and winds, winds, winds ... and you live in this rhythm, not noticing the time.

In fact, 2 years after those events and the devastating phrase, Minji was able to get on her feet and conduct business not automatically, but meaningfully and wisely. As a result, with work and sweat, having made a good career, at the age of 29 she was sitting in the chair of the deputy general director and was quite pleased with her life.

Only every May 17, the chest treacherously begins to burn and the heart breaks out.

- So! What a day of nostalgia?!You have a holiday today! You still need to prepare!" she said to herself and began to sign and look through a pile of documents kindly left by the secretary.

It was 4:20 PM on the clock and it became clear that either Minji was going to get ready, or she would go to her holiday in a working suit. Having collected the necessary documents and put them in the safe, she went to the mirror. "Yes, girl, you are already a grown woman. And you don't even have a dog." sighing, and firmly deciding someday to get a dog, Minji confidently moved to the exit.

Why go to spas and spend big money when you can do similar procedures at home. Rich people are rich because they don't waste their money. She liked to save money wisely. From the whims of the rich, she allowed herself only a personal trainer. She carefully monitors her figure.
