Brown-seaweed soup of my husband
 
Cho, Yun-ok (mynest@dreamwiz.com)

Monday morning of last winter, my frozen heart makes me feel much gloomier together with the weather that turned cold all of a sudden. My husband left home early in the morning because of his business trip. I made the brown-seaweed soup warm over again, which I made last night. After eating it alone as if it were water boiled with burned rice, I left to work.

What the hell does he have a business trip such a day. Today is my birthday? After I got to work, my mind was extremely difficult all through the morning. Besides, being indifferent to my state of mind, the computers of the office had some problems with an interface. Undoubtedly, there might be some messages from my friends in celebration of my birthday. I couldnt check them at all, and I felt forlorn beyond expression on my birthday.

Feeling so bad all through the morning, the lunch time reached. I couldnt enjoy myself as usual. I had no my appetite, but I felt like eating warm soup. I headed for the dining room in the firm. I saw the menu on the bulletin board. The menu of the day was the spot stew with frozen Pollack. Being indifferent to the menu, I had a glimpse of the other workers with a sulky silence. What they are eating was brown-seaweed soup. My turn came and I tried to get the soup from the lady staff of the kitchen. Having another look at my face, she smiled at me brightly. Then she, Happy birthday! How surprising that the lady of the dining room in the firm was congratulating me on my birthday! My feeling was getting better.

By the way, she told me that my husband had called her in the last Saturday morning. He said to her, This is the husband of a certain person. I have a favor to ask of you. Could you make brown-seaweed soup for the lunch of the next Monday?

Although he did not make the soup by himself, he showed his good faith to make a reservation for the meal in advance. The soup heated my throat with the whole mind of my husband. He bound me again. He makes me so touched with his tenderness that I can never keep up with. Thats why he is called the Five Oceans and I, a large-eyed herring. I love my husband who touched me to tears with the brown seaweed soup, which will remain forever in my heart.
