The next 3 years
Han Gia Linh 6 years old
- Dad! Mom! I'm going! - Her voice was bright, hurried with a friend waiting in front of the house.
- Oh! Remember to be careful! Nara waved her hand at Gia Linh.
This year, Gia Linh was a first grade student. She studied very well and expected her to have a musical talent. After 3 years of training, she showed her superior dancing ability and inner voice compared to her peers. After about a month of settling down at the school, Gia Tuan signed up for a Taekwondo class for Gia Linh. At first, Nara seemed to disagree because she knew her husband's intentions, but heard her husband explain and persuaded her for a while, she accepted. . And today, the first day Gia Linh went to learn Taekwondo with a classmate, this friend's house is quite close so the two children are very close. Since Nara did not know the way and Gia Tuan was busy with work, Gia Linh was transported by her friend's mother to the Taekwondo class.
On the road
- Woah! Exciting! Do not know what the first day will be like? Right, Gia Linh? - The child sitting in front said to Gia Linh who was sitting behind his mother.
- Who knows? Perhaps like other centers that will initially outline "What is Taekwondo ?, what is Taekwondo for? ", Then stretch your joints or do some basic movements. - Gia Linh answered fluently.
- How do you know that? Said the child admiringly.
- My father said it before! - Gia Linh recalled the scene where her father told her.
Flashback
- Listen to my father telling me to remember Gia Linh, I will be busy ... Then like this .... - Gia Tuan did not look at Gia Linh's sagging expression, he said non-stop.
- Basically you have to show them that you are not weak, hit the opponent with all your strength, not give up, you understand? - Gia Tuan used his hands to rest on Gia Linh's shoulders and looked directly into her eyes. His eyes burned with fire.
-... Yes ... Yes. - Gia Linh stammered to answer
Nara, feeling the tension in the atmosphere, answered Gia Linh's relief
- Honey! She did not have to go to the army, saying that was enough and at the beginning, no one would let her fight. - Gia Tuan smiled and rubbed his neck. After a while instructing more little things, Gia Tuan would let Gia Linh go to her bedroom because she had to go to school tomorrow.
End flashback
After remembering Gia Linh sighed, but then happily went to Taekwondo class.
Taekwondo class
It's true that, after a brief summary of "Taekwondo", all the kids stand together and get on with the basics. An hour later, the littluns were exhausted and then on the floor.
- At first, the muscles will ache a little, but it's fine to get used to it! - The master smiled and looked at the children, thinking that children today are too weak. Remembering his time, feeling proud to turn to Gia Linh, he was surprised by only the little girl calmly drinking water. The master asked curiously
- Are you not tired? My friends are all lying on the floor!
- Yes, I get used to it, every morning my father always asks me to get up early to exercise so these movements are normal! - When the master heard that, he nodded.
- Moreover, my father told me not to be WEAK in all circumstances! - She emphasized the last 2 words. Hearing that, his three-dot expression thought, "Why does that sound like the army? "(Nothing else! 😒)
6:30 pm
- Goodbye Gia Linh, see you tomorrow! - The child waved to Gia Linh.
- Yes! See you tomorrow. - Gia Linh replied and then entered the house
Clack
Gia Tuan and Nara were sitting on the sofa watching TV and listening to the door opening, then they turned around.
- Dad! Mom! I'm back! - Gia Linh just entered the house and ran to her parents.
- Ah Gia Linh came back then hurry back to the dressing room and have dinner - Nara lovingly looked at her daughter, she left the sofa to get dinner for Gia Linh.
About 15 minutes later
Gia Linh is present in the kitchen because she just got home now so only the little girl has not eaten. While eating.
- How was the first day? - Nara asked, grabbing Gia Linh's meat.
- Yes, as dad had said before. - She raised her head to answer, after answering, she buried her head in the bowl of rice.
- So, do you fight anyone? - Of course this question belongs to Gia Tuan.
-Honey! Nara frowned
- No! The master said that he is not yet allowed to fight! But dad "Eat without talking, sleep without talking". - Gia Tuan was silent at this sentence and Nara covered her mouth and stopped laughing.
After eating, Gia Linh returned to the room brushing his teeth, rinsing his mouth and then preparing lessons, studying (Exemplary Student) until she was ready for bed ...
Clack
Nara entered
- Are you done? - She saw that Gia Linh was getting ready to go to bed, so she went over to fix her blanket and pillow.
- Done! I'm going to sleep, what's wrong, mom?
- Nothing! I just wanted to see if you slept. Go to bed for go to school tomorrow. - After saying that, she turned off the light and gently closed the door.
Actually, Nara wanted to ask Gia Linh if she wanted to be a singer, but she thought it was too early to ask, so she ignored it. She wished her children could do what her wanted without being constrained.
Returning to her room, she watched Gia Tuan sleep, then gently walked over to the bed and turned off the night light.
On that night, she suddenly had a strange dream, she saw a person in a suit, cold face looking at her, though strange, but she still felt familiar. The person smiled slightly at her and moved his lips to say something she could not hear clearly, waiting for her to think of what it was the next morning.
But notice how the person's mouth shaped would be: "Omma! It's me "
Just so calmly passed 10 years later
Gia Linh is 15 years old, the little girl has become a beautiful girl. Milky white skin, white pink face, slim, well-proportioned physique, superior height compared to other peers, Gia Linh reaches 1m68 high, has toned muscles due to martial arts and dance.
At school Gia Linh is always mentioned and admired by everyone because she is not only an exemplary student but also leads the school's entertainment club with her professional singing and dancing skills. In addition, Gia Linh is gifted with sports, although not good at any subject, but every sport she knows and plays better than the average person. Occasionally a few male students confessed their love, but the results received a shake from Gia Linh. As she matures, the less she speaks, she does not appear cold, but she often uses actions more than words or opens her mouth when necessary.
This year is the last year of middle school, Gia Linh has to work hard in her final exam. So there is almost no free time at home with the parents.
- I'm going, mom! - Gia Linh finished drinking a glass of water and quickly carried her backpack out.
- Gia Linh do not come back late!!! - Nara shouted loudly to Gia Linh afraid that she could not hear.
- Yes, mom! - Gia Linh replied, running away
-Gia Linh wait ... - Not in time to say that Nara saw Gia Linh go out, she sighed inside the house.
As Nara and Gia Tuan predicted, although Gia Linh is very talented in music, she can even become an idol right away with all the criteria of a singer. But Gia Linh seems to study so that she can have a career to make money later than going into art. Going into the kitchen, Nara's phone rang, she took out her phone from her apron pocket, it was Gia Tuan.
- Yeoboseyo! (Like Alo of Vietnamese) - Nara picked up the receiver
- Nara today, i can come home a little late, you and Gia Linh just have dinner first, leaving me a part. Don't wait for me, right now i'm busy just want to telegram you, I'm hanging up! - Nara hasn't said a word from beginning to end, seeing her husband about to hang up, she told Gia Tuan to be careful, then turned off the phone together with her husband.
- Gia Tuan lately comes home late with Gia Linh studying full schedule by herself ... I am alone at home. - Nara is Korean after all, so Vietnamese is limited. When she first came back to Vietnam with Gia Tuan, she only knew a few basic sentences using daily communication and could not communicate with everyone around her much, Gia Tuan knew that in his spare time he accompanied her wife to learn Vietnamese.
So now she can talk to people near her home, Gia Linh is currently speaking Vietnamese, but since a young age, Nara taught her to learn more Korean so she was only at primary school, Gia Linh could speak two languages. Viet-Korea, she teaches her Korean in the hope that if she meets her family again in Korea she will not be embarrassed because of the language barrier, also because of this she and her husband are not accepted by their family.
Remember that she was sad, for more than 15 years she and her husband have not returned to visit the family.
Still feel sorry for Gia Linh because up to now, she has not yet received relatives on both sides. From time to time, she heard from her asking about this matter, Nara and Gia Tuan both grieved her. It's not that they are heartless, but every time Nara and her husband call their family, they both ask them to divorce if not they don't accept the relationship. She really did not understand what she and her husband did wrong or that the two sides of the family had inherent feelings that led to today's situation. Gia Linh initially insisted on meeting her grandparents, but gradually she did not mention it anymore, she and her husband knew that it was not her that she did not pay attention, but because she understood that her parents could not speak, so she put it aside one side.
