Actually i have never got girl friend. Once i like girl who live near ratnapark. Before tourist work i actually study near banepa so every day i go to ratnapark to take bus to banepa. There i meet the girl every day. She also come to ratnapark to take bus to chabahil she study nursing in chabahil. We talk every day. I study tourism and she study nursing that is very different but still we talk a lots. I think she like me very much but she is actually only talking to me like friend. Later she tell me she is getting married her mother is looking for boy he is going to australia and he already have visa for there. I am very sad and i think i should tell her that i love her very much but she is getting married and i dont tell her. Anastazie is not like other girl. She is very different girl. Actually my one friend he is also tourist guide he also love tourist girl she is actually french and later they married. But my friend he speaks french as such and i dont speak czech language is it possible? I am thinking yes it is. Tomorrow i will meet anastazie and i will tell her i love her and how long she is staying here in nepal? I think she tell me 12 days but how many days have already finished? I forget to ask her. No problem i will ask her tomorrow and then i will also tell her. Later when she come to nepal and we will get married? Is it possible what i am thinking? Yes it is possible. I will marry anastazie svoboda. Actually today i cannot sleep. I am right only thinking tomorrow i will meet anastazie and after there is no light at ten o clock i go to bed but i only sit there. Even when i close my eyes for sleeping i only see photo of anastazie and i’am thinking why? Maybe it is because i love her. When i cannot sleep i look in my mobile for time and it is already one o clock how come? So fast time has finished and still i cannot sleep.
