Chapter # 7: Living In The Fullest Part II

[Veera's P.O.V.]

As HoRim drove back to Gangnam I was a bit nervous.

I don't know how I would react and respond when I see Mama again.

I am afraid that she might not recognize me in this world because I am not her daughter, Veera

Eugenio in this world.

I feel mixed emotions as the car drives down the road to Gangnam ...

I was about to cry but I could not show it to Nanay Liza who was seated beside me at the backseat. I

don't want to her worry about me and think that something bad had happened to me.

I closed my eyes for a moment hoping to remember Mama's face.

How are you?

How are you and Vita?

How about EunYeo? How was she too?

Did Adam went home already?

I miss you all so much that it seems like I have not been with you for few years, I have only been in this

world for few days but I was immediately feeling homesick.

I want to go back there Mama.

Please help me mama how to get back there.

I don't want to be here anymore ...

I want you to be with Vita again ...

"M-Ms. Veera ... We are already here." When Horim spoke, that was the only minute I felt my tears

were already flowing down my cheeks.

"Ahh. Are we here already? I'm sorry I fell asleep for a while. I had a dream about my ex boyfriend in

the States." I said jokingly while wiping away the tears.

The three were quiet as we headed to the Chicken Restaurant. I know they want to ask me why I was

crying but they do not want to do it because they do not want to be curious about my personal life in the

States.

They don't even know if what I actually reasoned out was real, that I did fell asleep and dreamed of my

boyfriend in the States.

Upon entering the Chicken Restaurant, I immediately felt Mama's presence even though I had not seen

her inside.

Maybe Mama is in the kitchen and cutting ingredients for their dishes for tomorrow's menu or disposing

some trash in the trash bin at the back of the restaurant.

The Chicken Restaurant that Mama works for is small compared to the Mom's Touch we had dined

earlier.

We were accommodated by other staffs inside. I also let the three to order the food for us and also told

them to order a few more orders. They feel ashamed because they were not the ones who spend.

Hahaha.

They told the waiter that we will five dishes and had two orders for each dish. So we also have to wait a

few minutes ....

Every minute I looked at who was inside the kitchen and who was coming out of the authorized room of

the restaurant but I still failed to see Mama.

Where is Mama now? Isn't this where she works in this world?

"These are all your orders Ma'am and Sir." She said with a smile when she served us.

I think that is Ate Janine, the one Mama always mentions to me who was their youngest co-worker.

I called her before leaving our table, so she came back.

"Is Veena Eugenio still working here?" I asked her in a whisper.

She was surprised by my question, so she did looked at me from head to toe.

"OMO. You just don't really look like her. You actually looks like her. Even the lip shape and big eyes."

She exclaimed in shock.

"I was just going to tell Ate Veena about you that you look like her daughter... But you asked about her

earlier... Can I know if you are related with her?" She asked shyly because of her earlier response ...

"Ah. I have nothing to do with him but her daughter is related to my two youngest siblings. They are the

student of Mrs. Eugenio's daughter." Nervous I said to her.

I still thought I would be recognized. But I was wrong.

When I said that, she apologized because of the delayed for minutes of us to eat.

Every chicken dishes that was ordered by HoRim was delicious. I ate quite a lot because I actually

longing for its taste.

At the mansion, the dishes there are different from my taste. Maybe my taste buds are not actually for

expensive food.

I looked at the mother and daughter who hurried enter the restaurant.

My eyes widened when I saw Vita. Especially when she looked at me.

I stood up suddenly and excused myself to those who were at the table.

Suppose I look at Vita and go to the Restroom for her to follow me.

"Ah-Teu Eh-rah." 'Ate Veera'

She said and tearfully hugged me.

AIGOOO.

The tears that I had been stopping for so long since we entered this Chicken Restaurant, were

continuously flowing through my cheeks because of Vita's hug.

"I miss you baby. I miss you so much." Crying I said as I kissed her on the forehead and hugged her

tightly.

"whe-r ih-d o-h g-owh" 'where did you go?'

Crying Vita also said as she hugged me.

"I'm really sorry baby. Sister doesn't know how she got here but I promise I'll be back." I said as I

hugged her tightly.

"he-eh-rs soh-ohn ih-nh oh-rh- hoh-us ho-oh oh-uks ihk o-h." 'There's someone in our house who looks

like you.'

She cried even more when she said this ...

I could do nothing but to cry and cry while still hugging her tightly.

Vita, I will be back for you and Mom. Wait for me. I will not stay here for so long. I cannot be trapped

and do nothing here. I have to leave this world and go back. If there is a way in, make sure there is a

way out as well. If Aidan says there is no way out I would do my way to find the only way out.

I wiped Vita's face which was full of tears flowing down her cheeks.

"All right, go back to Mama. I'll just visit you." I told her again and kissed her on the forehead.

I also wiped my face that was wet with tears.

I saw Vita run back to Mama and she immediately hugged Mama and cried.

Mama comforted Vita to stop crying while she talked to Ate Janine. I'm sure she already mentioned

about me; because I saw mama looking around but she didn't see anyone who looks like her daughter,

so she jokingly spanked Ate Janine on the arm.

When Mama and Vita left the restaurant, I immediately went back to our table. They are still eating but

might finish their food eventually. They asked where I went but I just said that I was just in the restroom

because I feel sick due to the specific smell that My nose could no longer resist. They didn't think about

any other thing that I could do inside the restroom.

We left the Restaurant immediately after we ate. They must be very tired.

The mansion was just near here but Liezel and Nanay Liza fell asleep immediately.

"You cried earlier. Am I right?" I was shocked by HoRim's question so I stopped browsing my phone.

Did he see Vita and me talking?

"Crying? When?" I asked, pretending that I haven't cried.

"In the Restroom. Didn't you cry? I noticed the energy you were carrying when you returned to our table

earlier." He shrugged and said to me.

"I did not cry." I said to him.

"If you say so." He just said and drove again.

We were very close to the Mansion so I knew I could rest my mind and body.

Going out as soon as I got out of the car, I immediately saw Daddy's frowning face.

"I'm sorry we've arrived late---" I was surprised when he almost slapped me. Fortunately, HoRim

blocked it so he was the one was slapped.

"Daddy!" Mommy and I exclaimed in shock because of how strong his slap was.

"You Young Lady! You always went missing. Don't you know how to ask permission or let where you

might be?." He said that I almost imagine his nostrils was smoking with rage.

"And you just left home to have make overs and go shopping!?" He said angrily.

"Why are you so angry? I'm not even a kid anymore. I was able to live in States without a single help

coming from you, so what is the source of your anger? The money I used for ALL of the things I had

bought right now was from what I earned in States, Daddy. I don't had a single penny that came from

you for me to spend. Everything I bought today was paid with my own money. Clothes that I bought are

the ones that I like to wear, while I study here for my senior year. I'm tired Daddy so please. Kindly

respect my rest time." I said to Daddy gently and with tenderness in my voice.

"And to add something to that ... Daddy and Mommy. I asked permission and let you know where I was,

even to the twins. I texted all of you. You were all just busy doing some other thing, that even my

whereabouts you can no longer monitor." I said before starting to walk towards the door of the

Mansion.

"And yeah! MOMMY! Thanks for telling HoRim to stop looking or me after many years! It's good that

HoRim insisted on looking for me. How about you? You choose not to find me even though your

connection in the States is big and wide. You two both choose to hide everything about who I was. But I

guess, My name is just too great. Do you think you can hide my existence just because you loathe me

because I'm born to be a woman not to be man? A man that whom you thought could bring glory, could

lift and could also hide all the stench of this family? Don't and never ever underestimate what I can do. I

was able to raise my own name when I was in the States so I can also overthrow our beloved

Hyeoltong (Bloodline)" I told them smiling.

Before I entered the Mansion I smiled at the two of them.

Now the memories of Veera Park is really clear within me. Even in this life, Veera has the courage to

face every challenge.

What was the only difference between the two of us?

----

"Are you okay?" I asked HoRim when we entered my room.

He brought everything that I bought upstairs and then I just helped a little.

"Don't do that again." He said and hugged me tightly.

"Which one?" Astonished I said.

This is unsual for HoRim ... What happen?

"Never leave without me and never defend me in front of your parents, Veera." He said and I saw his

innocent face clearly.

"Wait. Why are you like this?" I said in surprise.

He let go of his hug with me and looked me straight in the eye.

"My Job is to protect you from anyone. So never protect me or defend me in any situation." He said and

held my hand.

"I don't want to bring you back here to Korea because I just want to. As much as possible I don't want

them to know where you were. I was helping you back there in the States. I block everything in their

views every time you become famous. I'm not letting any news from States get to them. I'm afraid I

might one day not be able to protect you from them. " He confessed to me.

So He knows ...

He knew I was not their real child and I just remember who my parents are. Infact they were just my

Uncle and Auntie.

They blinded the real Veera Park with their money to forget what they did to her parents.

Dad isn't my real dad because he is the brother of my real Daddy.

Some of my memories here isn't real ... They were just made when I just want to forget my traumatic

past.

"Always be careful My Veera. I will support in any of your actions. Even if you say you are not Veera

Park. I will believe and support you with my eyes closed." He said and gently kissed me on the lips

which surprised me so much.

I almost had a headache because of the many memories that suddenly entered my mind. HoRim and I

have memories.

I pushed him a little hard and then I fell down due to my dizziness.

"Get out first. Get out!" I said angrily.

When he got out I started to cry.

I can not understand. My two memories are mixing. My memories as Veera Eugenio and my Memories

as Veera Park in this world.

I was engaged to HoRim ... At my young age ... We were both the last witnesses of how Mom and Dad

disappeared. We have a huge age gap of HoRim but it is not obvious because HoRim looks young and

to be exact we have 12 year age gap.

I covered my mouth when I realized that since birth Veera Park doesn't have her own freedom.

Because since when she was born ... She has been tied to HoRim.

And my other memories when I was 7years old were also real and true.

I fell even harder on the floor.

Veera Park, back in the States is living her life to the fullest.

And now for me? Should I continue her life to the fullest?
