Can't give up!

Ani was looking at her laptop and was in deep thought when Cho shook her by the shoulder. Ani came out of her thoughts and asked her what happened.

"What happened to you? I've been seeing you like this since the day we went to Myung's house for that engagement party," said Cho.

"Nothing Cho," lied Ani. Cho understood that she's lying but thought not to ask. She told her to sleep well and walked out from there.

"I'm missing you dad. I wish you could be here. Then, Soo oppa doesn't have to give up on his dream. He doesn't have to force himself to get engaged with a girl whom he doesn't like," murmured Ani.

She continued reading from the laptop when a notification propped on it. It was from her fake instagram account from which she was following only one person, Kim Jun. She quickly opened the notification and saw he had uploaded photos to the US. She smiled seeing his photos when she found a girl in his photo who was holding his arm. She took a close-up look at the photo.

"No girl has ever held Jun's arm like this. Is she his…..no no no….Ani you're thinking too much," murmured Ani. But then her mind didn't stop thinking weird things. She checked for the girl's profile but she found nothing. "I think she doesn't use instagram. She checked other photos of Jun when he was in Korea and smiled looking at them. Suddenly she recalled her Soo oppa and his face when he was standing beside Myung. She closed her laptop and laid down on the bed.

"I've to work hard to get into Sangma. Then I'll give my father the justice he deserves," murmured Ani and tossed around and looked at the photo of her parents which was placed on the table beside her table. She smiled seeing them. "Bless your girl to be strong in every situation. I don't have many memories with you, mother but dad used to say that I have a kind heart like you. I'm happy that I'm like you. I miss you so much. Whenever I see the children with their parents I curse myself for my bad fate. I wish that day I could be able to do anything to save you dad. But dad, I promise you that you will get justice soon." She took the photo frame in her hand and then held it tightly. Putting it on to her chest and hugging it tightly Ani fell into deep sleep.

Time flies really fast. Similar thing happened with Ani. Four years have passed and today is the day when Ani is graduating with her other friends. She happily enters inside the gate wearing her graduation dress when she sees everyone's parents coming with their children. She stopped midway in that crowd looking at all the kids there, happily walking with their parents. She looked at her watch which was of her mother. A smile appeared on her lips when she saw the watch.

"Aniiiiii," shouted her both elder brothers, Soo and Woo oppa. She turned back and a wide smile appeared on her face.

"Forgive us for getting late," said Soo. Woo caressed her head and then they walked towards the main hall where degrees will be given. She met with her other friends too and their parents.

All of her friends got placement in the different companies. Ani too got placement in the Sangma as an assistant food manager. It was like a first step towards her success. After getting her degree she clicked photos with her friends, their parents and her elder brothers.

But the biggest thing she's missing apart from her parents is Jun. She did miss her senior high school graduation ceremony because she was n't able to get a photo with Jun. She then thought that if she would be lucky then she might get the same college as Jun's but then again he left for the U.S. for higher studies. She was also missing uncle Dowan who had to fly to the US to be with Jun in his graduation ceremony.

She doesn't know when Jun will return as he doesn't tell anyone about that, not even his brother, Jae. While clicking those photos she was missing these three persons. Excusing herself from there she went to the Humanities department of the university reminiscing the day when Jun came to her and told her not to cry. She sat on the bench and looked at her left recalling every single thing of that day.

"I wish I could've spent more time with him that day," murmured Ani and sighed. Tae came there as he saw Ani there while he was meeting his friends from the Humanities department. He walked near Ani and sat beside her on the bench.

"Tae," mumbled Ani and looked at him.

"Missing your parents?," asked Tae.

Ani nodded. "They must be watching you from somewhere and are proud of their daughter to top the university with good marks and good job in her hand," said Tae and folded his arms.

Ani smiled hearing this.

"I know you're missing one more person. Is it Jun?," asked Tae looking at her. Ani nodded and said, "He didn't even meet me the last time before leaving for America."

"Ani as a good friend of yours, I will advise you to forgive him. You're grown up now. First Love always hurts badly but it doesn't mean we can't find others," said Tae.

"People say that first love always hurts so we should forget about that and find the one who is suitable for you. But What if you can't forget your first love? What if you have always imagined living your life with your first love? Love needs patience...isn't it? I never once loosened my faith in my love for him. I haven't even started yet. I will try till the end when I'll feel like I've given my 100%. If still his heart doesn't sway for me then I'll be sure that I'm not the one for him. Till then I will try my best," said Ani with a smile, looking at him.

"What if he finds someone else?," asked Tae.

"Then I'll give up on him. I mean his happiness then comes first," said Ani with a smile.

"You will get hurt badly because of that," said Tae looking at her.

"Hmm….But then I'm a strong girl. I'll be happy seeing his happiness," said Ani.

"I wish that you were actually able to do that because you also know that you won't be able to handle yourself seeing him with another girl," said Tae.

"Tae I can't force him to Love me when he will be happy with the other girl. It will hurt but when you see your loved one happy your pain disappears. The smile on their faces is enough for you to be happy. Same is the case with me. If Jun will fall for the other girl then I'll have to accept my fate. I'll be happy just seeing his happiness," said Ani. Tae smiled and caressed her head.

"Well there's a graduating party today. Our school friends will be there too so it's a good occasion to meet everyone there," said Tae.

"Ahhh...I see. I'll come but where's the party?," asked Ani.

"I'll come to pick you up at your home in the evening at 5 pm," said Tae with a smile.

"Okay," said Ani. Yun was passing by there and saw Ani and came there too. "You are here? I thought you left with your older brothers," said Yun.

"Your parents left?," asked Ani.

"Hmm….well mom liked the photos she clicked with you," said Yun. Ani smiled and said, "let's go then." They both nodded and they left from there.
