5. Change of plans...

Diya is going to Korea to pursue her higher study.

I mean, is this purely coincidental or fate is playing a game with me? She never told me about this.
Now, when I asked for the reason why she didn't, she was like,"I wanted to give you a surprise. But trust me this is all because of my parents. I never wanted to do this. They forced me as my brother is already doing a job there at Samsung. They want me to go and stay with him and study as well."

Ok, another surprise! Her brother lives in Korea?

Yes, girl! I'm of course surprised but why at this moment only? She has been planning for this since 3 years and got enrolled in a reputed university for foreign studies.

Man! She's lucky that she can go where I want to go so badly. It's true that people don't get what they want and sometimes other people get those without even expecting.

Diya will start her journey on 1st Oct. Today is 19th Sep. She has asked me to go shopping with her and help her in some packing, because she thinks she can't afford buying clothes in Korea right after settling down and she needs my advice to pack her things. As per Diya, I'm meticulous and the perfect person to help her in all these.

Girl, I'll help you but can you pack me with all your things and take me there?

I want to go there so badly.

Jin has invited me to go to Korea numerous times. I mean I don't know if that was even serious or not. I don't have the odd sense of guessing a person's notion by hearing only voice or reading text messages. But responding to him without knowing what he really feels about me would be a foolish thing to do.

I ask Diya while picking up a cold shoulder tee for her from the '50% off' stock,

"Ummmm...where are you going to stay? With your brother only?"

"yeah, you know Brother has rented an apartment and it looks pretty big in the pictures that he sent me. So, I guess I'll get my own room." she answers while picking up a denim shorts from the same stock.

"Diya, can you please tell me what do I need to do to pursue foreign studies in the same university as yours?", I ask her hesitantly not looking at her face.

Aishhh!!!(I've learnt this term from Jin. He uses it whenever I piss him off by some idiotic text) I can feel her sudden stunned gaze on my face.

"Can you please confirm whether I heard it right or not? You want to go to Korea?" She asks me in an interrogative voice.

My face has turned red and I can feel the hotness in my ear now!

I answer, "Ummm.....I really have no friends here. You know I'm kind of a loner. And since I've completed the masters I'm sitting idle in home or teaching online which I hate to do. I want to pursue higher studies too. My parents want me to do it. It will be better if it is with you."

Diya literally started hopping around and after 30 seconds of embarrassing squealing and hugging and kissing me she finally said, "enough of shopping for today. Let's go home and not waste any time. I'll apply for you today only."

I felt a little bit relaxed that she didn't ask about the cause of my sudden change of attitude. 1 month ago only I wanted to go to Himalaya and be a saint. I was agitated over my life. And now I want to study abroad. I guess she can't even imagine that I am doing this for an unknown guy. Just to see him and face him.

We start to walk towards the pay counter while giggling and discussing about the imaginary situations that may come in our way if we start living abroad together.

Why can't everyday be like this kind of happy?

As usual I'm sorry for the long chapter.

I hope you all are doing well.

Well, I'm not.

Park Jimin is giving me tough time lately. I can't get over from that 7 seconds LA video. Have you seen it? He looks magical and his eyes were sparkling like north star.

Boy! Kill me already...😥😥😥
