My Familiar Mistakes novel Chapter 5

Chapter#5 : She's Lost and Confused

[Veera's P.O.V.]

"Ladies and Gentlemen, now We're approaching Incheon International Airport where the local time is 9:00 am. At this stage you should be in your seat with your seatbelt firmly, fastened until we come to complete stop, and the captain has turned off the seat belt sign. Please be sure to take all your belongings with you when you deplane. And be careful when you are opening the overhead compartment since some of the bags may have shifted during the flight. On behalf of the entire flight crew, we would like to express our sincere thanks to all of you for flying ASIANA Airlines. We wish you a pleasant stay in South Korea. Goodbye. " Announcement of Flight Stewardess.

I rolled my eyes all over the place from my seat. I heard the female air host announce. She just said seconds ago that We just landed at Incheon International Airport. How come?

I still remember fainting on the rooftop of the hospital. Now why did I end up on a plane?

I was about to look at my appearance on the screen of my cellphone when I realized that I did not recognize the phone that I was holding. Even my cellphone is no longer mama's old cellphone. What happened? What is this phone? iPhone 12 Pro Max? I almost let go of the phone I am holding now. It is impossible for me. I tried to touch the home button and I was shocked when it opened without me doing anything. OMYGOD! I really own this iPhone.

I heard the newest iPhone that was release has already have face ID. What's going on? I scroll to the gallery and files of the phone. I only have pictures in various places that I do not know but one thing is for sure it is not in Korea and not in the Philippines and there are also files that I do not really recognized making. I saw a bag at my feet. Maybe it's mine, right? My hand carry? I searched the inside of the bag trying to find a real mirror. I do not believe in the phone I am holding. I need a real mirror.

"Ms. Veera." I almost dropped the mirror I was holding with the sudden man who spoke behind me.

"Let's go? May I could help you in all your belongings." A man in his mid-twenties, wearing a formal attire said more likely ... like a body guard? Just like me he is also a korean citizen.

My name is still Veera. Good. But what is really happening?

I just looked at the man who took all my luggage. Seriously? All of the things he took and carried now are branded.

'Yes they need you ... But yourself needed you more ...'

I felt like I lost my balance when I remembered what had happened, before I've saw myself inside this plane.

Yes! That was it! He is the reason I am here. I was brought here by a crazy man who looked like Adam. What did he do to me? Is that a witch?

I started crying and sat down again in the chair where I had been sitting before. Why did he do this to me? Vita and Mama needs me. They need me two now. I can't just be here. I don't even know why I was here and how I got here.

"Ms. Veera? Are you ok?" the man turned to me. I bet he heard me crying because he is still not too far away from me.

"Sir. I'm begging you. Take me back to Mama. Take me to the hospital, Mama and my sister needs me. Please." I begged as I burst into tears.

"A-ahh. M-Ms. Veera. You seems v-very unsual today.. Is there a problem?" he asked and took my handbag that was still on my seat. He gave it to me.

"Let's go first outside the plane then please let me know the problem." he said softly to me.

It's embarrassing, but I look like a crying child walking out the plane's exit. Other people are looking at me. Maybe they thought I was going crazy.

The man with me answered the phonecall. He moved a little away from me to answer the phone.

"Ma'am. We have landed at Incheon International Airport. In due time we will be in the mansion. A-ah.. She's fine but honestly speaking Ma'am . She's bursting into tears none stop. Once the plane landed completely she start crying. "

I can't quite hear what he is saying but I have a guess, most likely he is already reporting my sudden crying and the landing of the plane we are rode here in Incheon Int. Airport.

I still do not know how to calm myself from crying. I just covered my face with a bag as I walked and followed the man with me.

People are really still looking at me. Is my crying too eye catching? Why are they looking at me?

I secretly looked at the people around me who were looking straight at me.

"Why are they looking at me?" I was confused and panicking so I question my companion and it seemed like anytime from now I would cry again like I was crying inside the plane.

"Maybe It's their first time seeing such sophisticated young lady but crying her eyes out like a child?" He was sarcastic but hesitant as he told it to me.

I don't know but I stared at him. Is he serious? How could he burst out those words to the person who had just cried seconds ago?

He just laughed when I looked at him and continued walking out of the Airport.

"Is this your car? It's nice." I told him when I got in the car.

"You are really weird today Ms. Veera. Have you lost yourself during your stay in California?" He said jokingly.

"No. I really lost myself ..." I said to him seriously and his face was also serious as he looked at me in the rear view mirror.

After 10 seconds he burst out laughing.

"Don't tell me you don't know who you are? I? Do you know who am I?" He said he still did not believe in what I've said.

"Yes. I know myself. I am Veera but I am not the Veera that you know. You? Do I know you ---?" I explained myself to him but I stopped talking because .. I know who he is.

I do know who he was.

He is my Personal bodyguard and my Personal Driver. Mommy hired him. He is with me since I was 7 years old. He still stayed in the mansion even though I left the country without anyone's knowledge. Funny how I left Korea during my 13th year of existence then all I brought with me was my small bagpack with my passport in it, my wallet with no money inside only ablack card and a pack of ramyeon. I did not bring any clothes. I left home because I thought my silings were the only important to everyone. After I left Korea I did not leave clues as to where I could be found. They are cut my card but I preceded them because I bought everything I needed and I have availed another black card exclusively for myself only.

I never planned going back here. But this loyal bodyguard of mine upheld his duty to find me and be my shield to anyone. Annoying because I have no secrets to hide from him. I also studied in the States actually without their knowledge because they thought I was just wasting money when I left. He appeared exactly on my 15th birthday across from my school. My classmates and teachers thought that he was actually my brother so I was left do nothing but if talk to him. I told him that I do not want to return to Korea but he told me that I need to go back after 3 years because if I do not do the return to Korea, He will eventually terminate his contract with my family and continue his vocation ... Yes he should be a priest already, if he hadn't just seen me in the confessional box crying and praying even without a priest inside. He entered the confessional box, so I thought that he was a priest so he was just waiting for a sign. And I remember he was 20 years old when he saw me and I said I wanted him to be a body guard.

"Omyghad! HoRim ?! And you're not a 25 years old adult! OMG you're in your 30s already." Shocked I said.

"See? You still know me and remembers the things about me lady." He said laughing.

"So how come you are saying that you are actually lost?" He added to what he said.

I was speechless because I did not know what to say. Why do I have memories in this life? I don't even know what this world is and what kind of life is this, so it's so shocking that I have memories. Which is very vivid for me.

I don't live it so why am I here?

"HoRim. Where do I live? Who is my mom? Who is my sister? Who is my bestfriend?" I asked one question after another.

"Really huh? You really don't know?" Even though he laughs at my questions I can still see in his eyes that he has worries about why I am like that.

"Is Vita my sister here? Is Eunyeo my bestfriend here? Who is my mom? Why am I rich? Is my mom Veena Eugenio? Tell me HoRim oh." Crying again I said.

This time the smile on the lips and the trace of joy in HoRim's eyes disappeared.

"I do not know why I am here, in this world but I do not live here HoRim. I am not the Veera you know. I am Veera Eugenio and I do not even know what was my name here. I do not know whom are my family here and my loved ones, and I also don't know where I lived in this world. Yes I have memories but It's all blurred you are the only one that I remember. " I cried out.

"Ms. Veera ..." He called me gently.

"Do you know why you are here in Korea now?" He asked seriously.

"I never left Korea since I was 12 HoRim. I don't belong in this world." Still crying I told him. You can almost squeeze the sleeves of the dress I was wearing because of my heavy crying..

"Your car crashed in California last 2 months. You are in a coma Ms. Veera for a month. You were in a hurry to leave then, because you were afraid I might show up again and take you back to Korea eventually. Califonia Police contacted me overseas. I was there with you in California, taking care of you waiting for you to wake up. I even took a leave in the mansion and was told to rest first but I never said that I will be with you. I know you don't want to let them know where are you in california. " He first parked the car on the side of the road and then turned to me and touched my cheek.

"I was really worried for you Ms. Veera. I don't know what happened to you while you're in a coma. I don't know what is happening inside your mind while you sleep for a long time I was just talking to you while you 're asleep there. So maybe I was the only person you remembers because you remember my voice. The doctor said that You might have selective amnesia. When you woke up yesterday you hadn't said even a word. You were really spaced out. So I was surprised when you cried on the plane earlier. " Worried he said.
