Today I want to share a very emotional and unforgettable memory from my life in Korea.
As many of you know, I’ve been working in Centum for more than a year now. From the very first day of my job, I met a Korean manager – a woman around 54 years old. She wasn’t just a manager; she was like a mother figure to me. She was always so kind, helpful, and friendly. I still remember how she used to care about me like her own son.
Earlier this year, in February, I visited Bangladesh for a short trip. Before that, one day she suddenly asked me, “Borhan, do your father and mother like coffee?” I smiled and replied, “Yes, they do.” Then in January, after I finished my shift, she surprised me. She had ordered two big boxes of French coffee and handed them to me, saying, “This is for your parents, Borhan.” I was so touched. I didn’t expect such love and thoughtfulness.
When I came back from Bangladesh, I brought her some chanachur and green tea as a small gift from my country. She loved it and thanked me warmly.
But then something unexpected happened. On May 1st, she suddenly stopped coming to work. At first, I thought she might be on leave, but after a day or two, I asked another Korean colleague about her. They told me, “Manager left the job.”
I was shocked. I couldn’t believe it. The workplace felt so different without her presence.
Then, just last week, something very emotional happened. I was in the elevator in the same building where I work, and there she was. She looked at me and said with a bright smile, “Hi Borhan! How are you?” My heart felt warm, and I replied, “I’m fine. And you?” She said, “I’m also fine.”
That short encounter reminded me of all the memories we shared at work. It’s amazing how some people leave a mark on your life even if your paths change. She wasn’t just a manager; she was someone who made my experience in Korea more beautiful.
This is a memory I’ll cherish forever. ❤️
