I hopped of my plane at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok . As I wait for the taxi to take me to the hotel I stop at a convenience store to buy some water .

“Welcome”, a young man worker greet .

“How much is this?”, I ask in english as I show him the Cadbury and mineral water .

“30 baht , miss”, he said .

I handed him a 50 baht note and he give me 20 baht change . I put my purse on the counter as I took my mineral water and the Cadbury .

I walked towards my luggage and casually walk towards a café . I sit on the chair and a waiter come and give me a menu .

I didn’t look at it and just said

“One Americano , please” .

Lucky that he understand as he nodded his head .

I grab my handbag to take out my purse . I was as shocked .. My purse is nowhere insight .

“Miss .. 40 baht”, the worker passed me a receipt .

“I’m sorry . My purse is missing”, I said in worry tone .

“Wait ah”, I said and try finding some money , unluckily I just find some Korean won in my handbag .

“I’m so sorry . I just had this note”, I said and handed to him.

“What’s wrong”, a man come and ask .

“Manager . This young girl loss her purse and handed me this Korean note won ”, the worker said to the man .

“Where are you from?”, the man asked me .

“Anyonghaseyo . I’m Park Mi Nyeo from Korea”, I bow and said.

“I’m Mario”, he said to me and push her hand towards me .

I take his hand .

“I’ll pay for it”, he said .

He opened his wallet and pay for my Americano .

“Thank you”, I said .

Then a convenient store coming towards my direction .

“Miss . You left this”, he said to me and handed me the purse .

“Thanks”, I said in Thai language .

I take my purse and opened it . I took a 50 baht note and handed to Mario .

“Nope . Its okay . Its my treat”, he said and refuse my money .

“Oh . Thank you”, I said one more time .

He smile as I said so .

“Oh . Mr. Mario do you know how can I go to this place”, I show him the hotel address that I print after I booked it .

“Oh .. Samudera Hotel ..”, he read .

“This is in Chiang Mai”, he said .

“Chiang Mai ?”, I shocked .

He nodded .

“Aish . I already book it”, I murmured to myself .

“Since it’s already near night . Follow me”, he suddenly said .

“Uh ?”, I shocked with his words .

“You can stay in my house for a while”, he said .

“Your house?”, I repeat .

“Don’t worry . I stay with my grandmother”, he smirk .

He take me to his house . While in the car ,

“So you’re from Korea?”,he asked .

I nodded .

“I’m half german and thai”, he said without being asked .

“Your English is good”,I said .

“Of course .. My father teach me English since I was child”, he said and take a glance at me .

“So your father is Germany?”, I asked .

He nodded .

We arrived at his big house . I opened the car’s door but he hold my hand .

“I help you . Can you do something for me?”, he said .

I turned and go inside the car once again . I make a what face .

“Be my girlfriend for a while”, he said .

“Eh”, I shocked .

He said everything to me that his grandmother want to force him to get married with her’s granddaughter bestfriend but he refused . He told a lie that his girlfriend is a Korean so he don’t have to marry her grandmother’s choice .

“Are you lost your mind?”, I said .

“I’m sorry . As I see you before , you are the perfect one to be my other fake half”, he said .

“I cant”, I said .

“Please ..”, he pleaded .

I don’t have any choice as I also had nowhere to go tonight . Stupid google translate translating the hotel page make me mistaking booking a hotel .

“Okay . I’ll help you but you must be my tourist guide while I’m here”, I said .

He smile and nodded .

We entered his house .

“Grandma . Your Mario is here”, he yell in Thai .

“Ouh , my grandson”, an old woman with greyish hair hug him .

I just stand there and smile .

“ So who is this young girl?”,she ask her grandson .

“My girlfriend . From Korea”, he said and smile .

“Sawadeekapp”, I said .

“Oi .. so pretty . Come in”, she invite me happily .

A week later , I find a true happiness here . Mario served me as her real girlfriend but I don’t care because as day passes by he keep stealing my heart and my heart start to like him.

“Are you happy being here?”, he asked me one day as I am drinking a coffee .

I nodded .

“Thanks for this happiness you showed me”, I said .

“I am happy too”, he said in Thai .

“What ?”, I asked as I don’t understand .

“Nope .. nothing”, he said .

“Your vacation will ended tomorrow right?”, he asked.

I nodded with bitter smile .

“Can I ask you a favour?”, he said .

I look at him .

“Cant you just stay here and be my half forever?”, he asked and get on his knee .

I was shocked with his action .

“This feeling , I know its not only me who feel this , I read you diary .. sorry for that . But your diary give me new hope”, he said and handed me a ring .

“Park Mi Nyeo , my fake half can we become a true one?”, he asked .

I smile and nodded as tears stream down .

So my trip from Thailand to find a husband is becoming reality , I can go back to Korea with my handsome husband happily ..
