Contorted Paths.

Kim texts Ahn..

Ahn......Are you in Town???

Ahn: Yes, I am.

Kim: Is it possible for you to meet me  today at 221B cafe in Gangnam at 6:00 pm????

Ahn: Okay..I will be there.

Kim: Alright..See you.

At the cafe, Kim was waiting For Ahn...

Kim ( Seeing Ahn) : So, you came.

Ahn: How couldn't I?? You called me..so I had to come. Well, nice to see you after so long.

Kim: Nice to see you too. How have you been Ahn?

Ahn: I am good...took a break for few days from work..otherwise I am just stuck in my daily routine. How about you?

Kim: I am also doing good.

For a moment there was a silence between them..Later Ahn broke the silence and said..

Ahn: Kim..we are meeting for the first time after so long..It has been years and it is a nice feeling. Honestly, I wasn't expecting  a text regarding our meeting from your end. I just thought we won't be able to meet or talk anymore. Well, you called me here..any special reason??

Kim: I have to give you something.

Ahn: Whao?? Give me something.

Kim : A gift ..rather..a "Thank you gift."

Ahn: "Thank you gift"..for me.

Kim: Take it..It is for you.

Ahn( took it and said) : A "Thank you gift"..Waeyo??

Kim: For always being there for me.Though we were in different cities, you were always there to understand and encourage me. Thank you..for being there Ahn. Also, I thought before leaving the town..I should atleast for once meet you in person.

Ahn: Whao?? Leaving??? Where are you leaving for?

Kim: Actually, I have got a very good work opportunity in London..So, I will be leaving for London.

Ahn: Wow...Congratulations..You are almost there. I am really very happy for you..and I knew it you would achieve something big like this.

Kim: Thank you..Ahn..as I said earlier..For always being there for me. You have always been very supportive and good to me. Thank you for everything.

Ahn: Kim..I can't stop you...even if I want to.

Kim: Whao?? Why are you talking like this all of a sudden??

Ahn: Had I not been in town..we would have not met and you would have gone to London just like that. Your dreams have actually been high..See you are almost there. Do I really matter to you??

Kim: Ahn..what's with you?? Didn't you dream high?? Didn't you go to the other city to work and achieve your dreams?? You did, right. Did I ever complain about this???Infact... I always motivated you to carry on your good work and perform well in your career. All of  a sudden....how does all this makes a difference to you.What will change?? I guess....Nothing.We have been living in two different cities from a pretty long time. Has it made any difference so far.....No.So, it won't make in future as well. Our paths are not designed to meet..So, I think we should perform well in our individual lives and keep doing good work.

Ahn: Kim..You are right..Our paths are not designed to meet. We have different roads. Exactly, It should not matter to me or to you. We definitely should focus on our individual lives. I am sorry..Kim..I shouldn't have overreacted. I didn't intend to hurt you.

Kim: It is okay, Ahn..It is of no significance. For now, let us consider this as our first and last meeting after a long time. I don't know whether we will ever be able to meet again in person. Thank you for everything Ahn and goodluck to you.

Ahn: Thank you for the gift ..Kim and good luck to you too but let's be connected through social media as we have been through these years.

Kim: Sure..Ahn..Goodbye.

Ahn: Good bye..Kim.

And they thought to live their individual lives.

After Six Months..

Ahn texts Kim..

Hey Kim..Today is Sunday.... You must be having an off..Is it possible for you come to the Riverfront Spot near City Hall???

Kim: Yes, I do have time but all of a sudden why are you asking me to be there.

Ahn: Kim..It is important ..Please be there . There is some work and I will let you know it through the text. Okay?? 

Kim: Okay, I will be there since it is important for you. By the way, at what time do I have to be there??

Ahn: Is it possible for you to be there till 12:30pm??

Kim: Okay. I will be there.

At the Riverfront Spot near City Hall..

Kim reached and thought...Why did Ahn..asked me to be here. He didn't even disclose his purpose.Do I have to meet somebody regarding his work. He didn't even send me a text.Should I text him???No..I think I should wait a little for his text. In the meantime, Ahn came behind her and called Kim.

Kim ( turned and said) : Ahn...You are here.How come you are here?

Ahn: Whao, aren't you happy to see me ???

Kim: Ofcourse I am..it is just that I am more amazed..I wasn't expecting you here.

Ahn: Kim..I missed you. How could I let that meeting to be our last meeting?? I just couldn't. The thought to see you and meet you for the last time was very uneasy and scary.Things did change Kim..after you came here. I just couldn't make it without you. Earlier I went to the other city..then you came here..I think it is a whole lot of mess that we did to ourselves. We have really been unfair to each other. I can't carry this mess further. I think it is high time we should end all of this.

Kim: Ahn..Let's see each other.

Ahn: Shouldn't this be my line?? You said my mind.

Kim: I think..I am good at reading your mind. By the way, since when did you turn so expressive??

Ahn: Well, with time I realised..that I can't lose you..So, technically I had no other choice but to be expressive. Other than this..I have a good news for you..I too will work in this city now.

Kim: Ahn..wow..really??

Ahn: Yes. After you left..I made up my mind to look and work hard for a good work opportunity  in this city. I really wanted to make it possible for you. My company sent me here.

Kim: Is this a dream?? I can't believe it.

Ahn: This is our reality Kim.

Kim: Ahn...Honestly, I too missed you. Thank you for coming here for me. Well, I appreciate your effort.

Ahn: Isn't the weather good?

Kim: Yes, It is..Ahn...Let's start our London Exploration. It would be so much fun. What do you think?

Ahn: I always wanted to do something like this with you. Let's do it.

Kim: Aniyo..Ahn...It is not Let's do it..Infact...It should be.."Let's do it together."..It sounds better.

Ahn: Yeah... Let's do it together.

From here, Kim and Ahn started their new journey.It is certain ..that It won't be smooth or very easy but as long as they will be together they will make it.
