LASTLY, MY FIRST

Part 16 | Sadly Happy

JENNIE

Lisa didn't let me bring her to the airport. She instead brought me at Aunt Dara's house for me to stay there for a while. We all talked about our set up. Lisa asked Aunt Dara and Seulgi if they can live with me at Lisa's apartment. Aunt Dara approved and Seulgi also agreed to take care of Lisa's car while she's not around and especially when I need a ride. Lisa won't allow me to drive. She said, she'll just teach me when she comes back or maybe after I graduate, but not now.

I don't want to think anymore how we parted. How I cried on my knees when the cab she's riding at from Aunt Dara's house left.

It's been a month that Lisa resides in Switzerland. As we promised, we never let a day pass without us talking through online messaging appsnand even video calls. The love grows deeper. I miss her everyday. I feel sad to whenever i see her crying on the screen because she misses me. I could never imaging her homesickness in that country.

She said she and her dad are going well bit by bit. I am so happy to hear that. That's one of my prayers everynight. I really hope that they will be in good terms soon.

Another week has passed and Lisa has been updating me of her projects. She said that she is doing well and all of her architectural plans for the city are approved by the governement. She also got an offer from private sectors for more projects.ost of the time, she let me approve her work first before she present to the clients. I am just so proud of my girlfriend.

We stayed in touch for almost two months now. I am also preparing for my school enrollment. Too excited since this will be my last year in college!
I am really thankful to Lisa for this. The money she wired to me more than a year ago was never been touched since we are preparing it for my tuition. This is really a big help. Someday, I will pay her back for all of this. I know she won't accept it but i really have too.

I was not able to enroll myself today since the line was too long at the registrar and i felt a bit dizzy. I told Seulgi not to pick me up anymore since she's still at the house cleaning her room. I told her i'll just get a cab. I decided to be back at school tomorrow morning and pay my tuition. I also texted Lisa of my whereabouts.

When I went out from the Univ's gate, a black huge car stopped in front of me and a man in black suit walked towards me.

"Ms. Kim? The President is inside the car and wants to talk to you now." What? Lisa's father? I am nervous! What is he going to do to me? Why is he up for talking just now? I wondered but a bit scared.

I froze to where I stand for a moment.
He opened the window and signaled his head that i should come in his car. There was like someone holding back my feet from walking forward to him. But yeah, as respect, I must face him.

We were seated like 3 feet apart inside the car. He started to talk.

"Jennie Kim." He said in a serious voice.

"Good afternoon, Mr. President." I greeted him looking down and bowed my head.

"I don't want to waste time anymore, Ms. Kim. I'll be straight to the point." He said and I swear. I am trembling.

"I never and will never like you for my daughter. You will never be in same class with us. Look at you. A college whore. Are you back being one since left? What did you do to my daughter why she can't get herself away from you?" He said. I just kept quiet and let him talk. Whore? Why do people really see me as a whore when I only had one person who has been fucking me for the first time until the day before she left?
