Actually, life is full of surprises. We never know when we might meet someone. Maybe we met in our past. Once, I unexpectedly met someone at a marriage function. There, I met one of my friends from kindergarten, and when I saw her, I was completely surprised because it had been over 30 years. After such a long time, first of all, she didn't recognize me. I went up to her and reminded her about our kindergarten school. At that moment, she remembered everything, and she was also very happy. I asked her what she had been doing all this time. She told me that she had gone abroad and had come back because it was her aunt's wedding. We had a great time together, reminiscing about our kindergarten days. It was a wonderful experience, and that's it. Thank you.
