Juli was writing on her diary while sitting on the window seat, having a cup of coffee. And the view was like this...

Now that her children are out of home, first she did all the household chores. After that she thought of relieving her emotions and pains by writing on her diary. It's like a habit. She writes all the good and bad memories in her diary.
And now, she's writing about the incident that just happened today. While writing about it, she became even more emotional. Her eyes got teary again. So, she stopped writing and looked outside the window. There are large trees and one of the trees is very near to the window of her bedroom. While she was looking through the window, her eyes caught sight of two birds in that tree. The two birds were making a home , no wonder to lay eggs and bring up their chicks. They were so busy with what they were doing. She was staring at them without even blinking. Seeing those two birds, she remembered of her own family life too.
Juli sighed. She was thinking on her mind, how her whole life changed after that night, that dark night.

Juli was very talented and a meritorious student just like her children. At the age of 18, she met a boy named Kim Seok-Jin, whom she thought the love of her life. And before she could complete her graduation , she married that boy by going against her family. They kicked her out of their home. Juli and Jin, both moved to a different city and there they started living in a small home. And she continued her study there. After a year, she gave birth to a baby girl, Lisa. Everything was going on very smoothly. They were happy too. But one day, Jin left the home after having a serious quarrel with Juli, when Lisa was just four and Juli was carrying another baby on her womb. She was shocked seeing her husband's action. He never did like that before and even after the whole night, he didn't return. She was so worried for him. She even filed a report to the police. But police couldn't find him either. And after a few days, they found the car that Jin left with that night and that car was found near the river bank. So, they thought that he might have jumped into that river and so they considered him to be dead. Her heart broke into pieces. She was happy with her husband , everything was perfect, then why all of those happened. Lisa loves her dad more than anyone and she thinks that if her mom had not fight with her dad back then, her dad would have been alive. She still blames her mom for whatever happened. That's why she's being too rude with her mom. And Jungkook , he doesn't have any idea why his sister treats their mom like that, Lisa doesn't want her brother to know all these either because she thinks if he gets to know all these, then he's gonna hate her mom too.

-Only if I didn't fight with you back then...

Saying that she opened her diary revealing a photograph of her husband. It was taken on a Christmas eve. It was a photograph of him wearing a red sweatshirt and a pair of horns of stag, and Sitting on the floor beside a decorated Christmas tree and smiling like looking at the camera just like her daughter, Lisa.

Yea... Lisa is like a carbon copy, looks exactly like her dad, even she got her dad's smile too. Jungkook and Jin have similarities but Jungkook is more like a cute bunny. Especially, for his cute smile. Juli smiled softly. She was staring at the photograph of Jin.
... A very handsome guy with dark black hair and black eyes, red lips. She used to tease him by calling him 'Worldwide Handsome'. And really, he was very handsome.
She was staring at the photograph of him. She sighed and said,

-None of this would have happened.

A drop of tear rolls down her cheek. She sighed closing her eyes. Tears roll down her cheeks continuously. Then, she opened her eyes and looked at the photograph again.

-I don't think I deserve forgiveness, honey.

Saying that she cried silently for a few moments. Images of her fighting with Jin and the days she had to struggle all alone with two children, and the incident that just happened today kept flashing in her mind. And she was crying. She has no one to share her pains with. She's all alone now, even though, she has children.

-I love you, honey and everything that you gave me. Your name, our home, the symbol of our love, our kids, everything. I love them and I'll always love them. But I don't think I deserve love...

Tears continued to roll down her cheeks.

-I lost you when I needed you the most.

She wiped off her tears from her cheeks.

-And now, I think I'm gonna lose them too. They don't love me at all.

She lean down to put her head on her knees and continued crying.

-Why? Why you left me?

She closed her eyes and continued crying.

-I miss you so much, Jin.....

**After half an hour**

(Phone Ringing)

-Huh? My... my phone...

Juli didn't know when she fell asleep. She wiped off her tears and received the call.

-Hello...

-Mam, where are you?

-At home, but why did you call me? What's the time now??

She was still feeling sleepy. She was rubbing her eyes.

-We've some difficulties, Mam. You needa come here immediately.

She got out of her sleepy mood and jumped on that window seat.

-Did something happened, Jimin?

-I can't tell you via call. Please come quickly, mam.

-Okay, just give me 15 minutes. I'll be there.

Then, she went to the bathroom to have a shower, then she dressed up in a casual way and went to her office driving her new black car. Actually, Jimin is her assistant. Juli is working as a software developer in a company.
She was driving her car and thinking in her mind about the worst thing that could happen in her office, even though, she didn't know what happened. When she reached her office, she found Jimin along with her other Co-workers standing, waiting for Juli in the parking lot.
They looked really frustrated about something.

-I guess, something big happened.

She thought it in her mind. She reached just in front of them.

-Jimin, guys, now quick, show me the problem.

She said that very fast.

-Mam, it's just...

-Come on, tell me . What is it?

They were looking at each other with a tension and fear in their eyes.

-What?

Jimin opened his mouth.

-Mam, actually, in your desk, there's nothing yours. You got replaced by someone.

-What?!

She couldn't believe her own ears what she just heard. Hearing this, she didn't waste time anymore and rushed towards her desk. And guess what? There weren't anything that belongs to her in that desk. It was replaced by another worker.

-But...th...then... w...wh...where's mine?

Jimin came in front of her and other co-workers were standing behind her.

-Actually, Boss said that...

Juli looked into his eyes.

-What, Jimin?

They looked at each other. And Jimin was hesitating. Juli gave up all her hopes. She knows what they're going to say. She's not gonna work here anymore.

-Jimin-ah ,Please, tell me the truth. Don't hesitate, please...

-That you got promotion.

-What?!

She was so shocked. She didn't expect to hear this. She thought boss don't want her in this office anymore.

-Yeah...mam, congratulations.😊

-Really? Oh my God... I can't believe it.

-Yep, it's true. Congratulations, mam.

-Oww...thank you...😊😄

-Oh, won't you see your new desk?

-Oh, yeah, sure. Where is it?

-It's in there. You go first. We'll catch you up later.

-Okay...😊

She turned around and walked towards her new desk. And before she even reached there, she knew her every single thing is placed in perfect place. Even her co-workers know that she likes everything to be kept perfectly, she's like her daughter in these sides.
She's feeling so happy as she got promotion. She didn't know what more (surprise) is waiting for her. When she reached her new desk, she saw a beautiful chocolate cake over the desk. And something is written on the cake. She went there to see what's written. And when she saw it, she became so shocked. On that cake, it's written,

❤Congratulations
And
Happy Birthday to you❤
❤Mam❤

It's her birthday. Even she didn't remember it as her day started with all those painful words and behaviors of her daughter. She was so lost in her thoughts that when her co-workers clapped behind her it made her flich. They were clapping and wishing her,

"Congratulations, Mam"

"Happy Birthday to you, Mam"

She was looking at her co-workers happy faces. Yeah...they remembered her birthday. And to these people, their Juli mam's happiness matters more than anything. They didn't just do it for formalities. Yea... they really love her so much. They did all these things just to make her happy. A soft smile forms on her face thinking all of those things. Even she didn't know when she started crying. This time, not for pain, nor sadness. But because she was feeling happy... tears of happiness continued to roll down her cheeks and that soft smile was still on her face...

To be Continued...
