OLD OAK TREE

Lee Jin Ho was happily chatting with Dr. Ngo at her clinic when he suddenly remembered that Song Dei Si has been there this morning.

"Auntie, is Song Dei Si your patient?" He curiously asked.

Dr. Ngo knitted her eyebrows "Why do you ask?"

"I saw her earlier this morning exiting from your clinic so I just thought that she came here for consultation." He answered.

"Mm" she lightly nodded

"What is she doing here at your fertility clinic?" Lee Jin Ho curiously asked. "Is she planning to have a child soon?" he can't help but felt upset with that thought.

"I cannot divulge any information my dear nephew. Hope you'll understand." Dr. Ngo refuse to provide any details.

He nodded. "Understood."

"Anyways how did you two meet?" Dr. Ngo asked.

"She was my schoolmate in Yan High School back then. The most beautiful girl in the campus thou" Lee Jin Ho can't help but smiled when he answered his auntie.

"Seems like my dear nephew has been bewitched by her beauty huh?" She said teasingly.

"Mm" he lightly acknowledged it.

"Do you still like her?" Dr. Ngo curiously asked.

"Like? Nah. It has grown into love. And it never fade away." Lee Jin Ho honestly aswered his auntie.

"Then pursue her." Dr. Ngo pushingly said.

"I will. It is the main reason for my return here in the country."

"Then do it fast especially now that she is at her vurnerable state." Dr. Ngo encouraged Lee Jin Ho

"Do you like her for me auntie?" He asked. Her auntie's opinion on the woman he will be spending his forever with was important to him. He grew up treating Dr. Ngo like his own mother.

"What's not to like about her? She's one of the kindest souls I have ever met. So chase her."

Lee Jin Ho smiled at his aunt and gave her an OK sign.

Song Dei Si has flagged a cab on her way home. She didn't have a hard time getting a ride since it was just around 3PM and the traffic situation was still light to moderate. She looked at her surroundings through the cab window and was elated when she saw that they were approaching Yan High School. All of a sudden the urge of visiting her alma mater came rush through her. She can't help but to ask the cab driver to pull over.

She was beaming with happiness when she entered the school premises. When was the last time she set her feet on the school ground? Seven years ago?

Yan High School was owned by Yan Mor Tee's family. It was the most prestigious high school back then and still the best High School in the country today. Most of the students studying there were came from the top rich families. There were very few students who came from the middle class family and she was one of them. She was able to get into Yan High School because of the privilege given to the children of the High School principal. The institution offered a scholarship to those children of the employee's working in Yan High School provided that they were able to meet the grademark criteria that was set by the administration and must remain to be on the top 3 of the class.

She saw a lot of changes that have happened in Yan High School. There were additional buildings that have been built. She can't help but wonder if the same old oak tree was still there? It was rooted at the far end of the school ground. She knew that she will be disappointed if they already uprooted it because a lot of memories have been created in that old oak tree...
