Sunday morning arrived, but this morning was very different from all other past mornings because Min-ah spent this morning with her grandma at her house. Previously, Min-ah used to wake up every Sunday morning, spend half the day in her orphanage room, and spend the rest of the day doing part-time work. But this morning grandma came, spoke lovingly, and said, "Min-ah, my granddaughter, wake up, it is morning. Breakfast is ready, have your breakfast."
Min-ah woke up. Today she was very happy because now she had her grandma in her life, someone with whom she could share every thought in her heart. Grandma was the one person who understood Min-ah and treated her with love and affection.
Min-ah and grandma were having breakfast together. Min-ah said, "Grandma, do you know, I always used to think that everyone has someone in their life, but I don't have anyone. I wished there was someone in my life who would understand me. Now that void in my life is filled because you have come into my life, grandma. Thank you for coming into my life."
Grandma smiled and said, "My child, I thank God too. After Nari left, my life had also become lonely, sad, and aimless. But ever since I met you, I feel like I have gotten my Nari back. Child, never leave me, always stay with me."
Min-ah said, "Grandma, you are the only person in my life. I will never leave you, grandma. I will always stay with you, this is my promise to you, grandma."
Grandma smiled and said, "This is exactly what I expected from you, my child."
Min-ah said, "Breakfast tastes great, grandma."
Grandma replied, "Thank you, my child."
Then Min-ah spent her entire day with grandma at the bookstore.
The next day, grandma woke Min-ah up and said, "Min-ah, my child, wake up and have breakfast, then you have to go to school as well."
Min-ah said, "Okay, grandma."
As grandma and Min-ah were having breakfast, grandma said to her, "Min-ah, my child, now that I am in your life, you don't need to fear anyone. Don't listen to what anyone says. For me, you are my very sweet and good granddaughter; no one is better than you. You are not weak, so never consider yourself inferior to anyone. You are second to none, my child."
Min-ah went to school and, as usual, sat on her chair in the corner near the window. Min-ah sat there thinking that grandma was right. Why should she fear anyone? Why should she listen to anyone? It wasn't her fault at all.
Min-ah took her classes. When lunch break happened, Min-ah was still sitting in class when Hae-won came up to her and said, "Oh, ugly girl, go get kimchi momos for me from the cafeteria. Here is the money," which she threw in Min-ah face with her usual rudeness. Today too, Min-ah remained silent, got up, went to the cafeteria, and brought back the kimchi momos for Hae-won.
In this way, the day passed, and Min-ah went straight from school to grandma's bookshop. All of this used to happen to Min-ah every day before as well, but she had never felt it as deeply as she was feeling it now. Perhaps she had started feeling all this much more deeply.
Grandma saw that Min-ah was standing there very sad and quiet. Grandma said, "Min-ah, my child, what happened? Why are you so worried? You left home for school so happy this morning. Did something happen at school? Did someone say something to my child again?"
Min-ah said, "Grandma, how does one become strong?"
Hearing this question from Min-ah, grandma smiled and said, "My child, you are already strong. The only difference is that you are strong from within, but your strength has not yet been revealed to the world. The day your strength becomes visible to the world, no one will make the mistake of considering you weak."
Min-ah said in surprise, "Grandma, I don't understand your words at all. If I were strong, everyone wouldn't make fun of me like this."
Grandma said, "My dear, that is the exact problem you don't believe in yourself. You consider yourself weak, and that is why everyone takes advantage of treating you as weak. The day you start trusting and believing in yourself, your life will change after that day. Everything will become fine."
Min-ah asked, "Grandma, but how do you trust yourself?"
Grandma smiled at Min-ah innocent question and said, "Child, when the whole world tells you that you cannot do anything and that you won't be able to do it, saying 'I can do this, I will do this' at that exact moment that is what believing in yourself is. Min-ah, do you have that much belief in yourself?"
Min-ah said, "I don't know, grandma."
Grandma said, "Min-ah, my child, listening to the words of those people, you call yourself bad and keep crying. Allah has made you a complete human being just like them. You also have everything that they have. Allah has given you hands, feet, a brain, intellect, and awareness. If they can use their power and their words in the wrong way, can't you use your power and your words in the right way to answer them? Do think about my words, think carefully. If you turn this 'can' into reality, then this action of yours will demonstrate your self-belief. Do think about it, my child, you can do everything."
Grandma closed the bookshop, and grandma and Min-ah went home.
Min-ah spent her entire night in restlessness, constantly thinking about grandma's words. Morning came, Min-ah freshened up, wore her uniform, and came out. Grandma was setting breakfast on the table. When she saw Min-ah, she said, "Child, come and have breakfast."
Min-ah sat on the chair, ate her breakfast, stood up, and said, "Grandma, I have decided what I need to do."
Grandma smiled and nodded her head in agreement.
Min-ah reached her school, entered her classroom, and as usual, went to the side and sat on her seat. Grandma's words were still spinning in her mind the words she had to act upon.
Hae-won, whose day never passed without bothering Min-ah, came up to her and said, "My ugly face Min-ah, bring me a glass of cold water from downstairs. I am feeling very hot, you know."
Min-ah did not get up to bring water for her like she used to. Seeing this, Hae-won got angry and said furiously, "Min-ah, didn't you understand? Do what I told you right now!"
Min-ah stood up from her seat and said, "Hae-won, make a habit of doing your own work. That will be best for you."
Hearing this, Hae-won went crazy with rage and said, "The Min-ah who no one even likes to look at will that Min-ah talk back to me now? How dare you speak to me in this tone!"
She had just raised her hand to strike Min-ah when Min-ah firmly caught her hand, stopped it, and said, "Enough, Hae-won, enough! Now I am not the old Min-ah who used to silently tolerate your every word and every injustice. Today you even raised your hand at me if you make the mistake of raising your hand at me again, I will break this hand and hand it to you in your other hand, understood?"
Saying this, Min-ah let go of her hand.
The entire class was looking at Min-ah in complete astonishment. Perhaps they couldn't believe that this was the same Min-ah who, until yesterday, used to sit scared, sad, and quiet in a corner the Min-ah who tolerated everything. Today, everyone was listening to her words, and on Hae-won's face today was the exact fear that used to be seen on Min-ah face. The Min-ah no one liked to look at today, no one could take their eyes off her.
Time passed, and no one had the courage to complain about Min-ah to any teacher. Then school ended. Min-ah went straight to grandma's bookshop, ran to hug grandma, and said, "Grandma, I gave them all an answer! Now no one will be able to say anything to me! Because now I believe in myself. I have learned how to stand up for myself.
Hearing all this, grandma smiled, pulled Min-ah Hug her , and said, "Well done, I am proud of you my child, live long!" Min-ah is happy now because her life is changing completely Min-ah now knew how she had to live her life ahead.Little did she know, Min-ah real story was only just beginning.86Please respect copyright.PENANAFD3AX2BF3z
