The Miracle We Met

Chapter 35 - New Journey

"So submit your documents tomorrow in the office, before going home for vacation. All the best."

I was in the seventh heaven as I heard those words. Finally, after a bit trembling, I got selected for the exchanged program. I came out of his chamber and everyone started congratulating me. After thanking everyone, I packed my things and returned to my room.

My happiness that day can't be measured. My friends were happy too. After meeting them, I left for home too.

Next day, I told my family about my selection in the exchange program. I explained to them what I would be doing a project in Seoul National University. The scholarship will be provided by the government only. I need to spend my money only for flights and once I have reached there, I just needed to spend my money for day to day living. Accommodations and all will be seen by university only.

I tried my best to get them convinced but still they got worried that how can I live there alone, how will I survive. They asked me whether it was important to go. 6 months it was a long period. They were not very pleased with it. It became tough for me to persuade them.

But finally, they agreed, when Darsh talked to them. He told them how important that opportunity was for me. How I would be benefited because of it in the future. Finally they agreed.

All those things, happened on 31st December evening. I called Chanyeol at 12'o clock according to KST, but he didn't attend my call. He was busy I guessed.

After a few hours, when only 39-40 mins were left for new year, I got call from him.

"Hey...where were you yesterday? You didn't call nor receive my call?" His voice was like he was drunk.

"Are you drunk?"

"First you need to answer me..where were you?"

"You are drunk? Why did you drink so much?" I got worried.

"It's new year!! How can I control myself. Everyone was drinking so I did. Don't worry, it was just soju. But why you didn't pick up my call yesterday?"

"I'm at home so it becomes difficult for me. Yesterday I didn't get chance that's why."

"Gwaenchanha.. hey..why don't you call me Ajusshi now?"

"What?? Why?"

"I really liked it back then when you used to call me Ajusshi."

Drinking really makes everyone mad. He used to give me death glare whenever that word used to come out of my mouth. And now he was saying he used to like it.

"Geeze...this boy..Aaraso I will call you Chanyeol Ajusshi from now on. Happy?" I said smiling.

"Cool!! And one more thing..don't ever talk to that Darsh. I don't like him." He said in resentful way.

"Why??He is such a nice guy. You don't know how much he has helped me this time."

"Don't take help from him. I will help you from now on. Whenever you need my help I will come there right away, you know I'm.."

"Yes yes!! I know you are rich."
While talking to him, I came near the window, fireworks started, it was new year now.

"I guess it's 12 there too.. Happy New Year my love." He said.

I blushed and replied, "Happy New Year"

"My first wish I want us to be together in same place at same time. I really miss you a lot."

"I wish the same" That's all I could say.

After a few days, returning back to university, I got busy with the preparation. I had to leave by the first week of February. So official work should be completed.

After official things were finished, I got busy with the shopping. I had to keep lots of warm clothes, books etc so my friends helped me a lot with it. They helped me with packing stuff.

A day before my departure, I called Chanyeol. I was so excited to tell him that I was finally coming there. But I wanted to give him surprise after I arrive there. So I had to keep my mouth shut.

"Yebboseyo!!"

"Hi" I replied.

"Hi!! I was just going to call you. I have something to tell you." He said.

"Yes?" I got anxious what he has to tell now.

My heart started beating fast.

"We are leaving for Philippines tomorrow. There is a small concert and some other activities. I can't tell how often I would be able to call you or receive your call but I will try my best to get connected once I am free."

"Are you leaving tomorrow?" My heart sank down.

'That means I cannot see him once I reached there. I had to wait again.'

Half of my excitement got vanished.

"Tomorrow morning.....
Hello..are you there?"

His voice brought me back in the reality.

"Yes!! For how long are you going?" I asked him coming back to my conscious.

"I don't know it may take 1 week or more than that." He said.

"What!! One week" I was disappointed again.

"Yes!! Why? What happened?"

"Nothing..ohk then take care."

We wished good luck to each other and hanged up the phone. I wanted to see him as soon as I arrive there. But now I had to wait again. Nothing can be done.

Soon that day came, when I had to leave. Along with those selected 5 students, 2 members of our panel were also joining us. But they would return back after spending a few days with us.

My parents and friends everyone came to drop me at Varanasi airport. It was a long journey. As first we will go to Bangkok then from there we have another flight for Seoul. It was approx 14 hours journey with 1 or 2 halts.

I knew I won't be able to see them for 6 months. Everyone was emotional, I tried my best to hold back my tears but couldn't controlled further. I started crying before leaving them. I thought that I was doing something bad to myself and to everyone. That realization came late. If it had came a bit earlier, I would have stopped myself from going. But now I was already at the airport with so much of investments.

Somehow, I bade them goodbye and went with my group, wiping my tears.

It was a boring journey. I only took naps and listened to songs. As I didn't know anyone, little did I tried to talk people around me.

After 2 halts, I finally reached to Incheon International Airport, South Korea.
