Chapter#6 : Living In The Fullest
[Veera's P.O.V.]
I woke up because of the captivating smell of food. I looked at my watch, it was about four o'clock in the morning.
Is Mama already awake?
"Until now do you think you are still in your world, Veera?" I almost fell on the floor when someone suddenly spoke inside my room.
Wait... Isn't everything just a dream and I'm really in another world?
I just gasped because I was really out of my world. I am still here in the room where I remember I slept last night.
"Who are you? How did you get in here? You don't look like LyePong." I said to the child who was standing and quite close to the study table.
"I's so nice here, right? In this world you are no longer Veera Eugenio because you are Veera Park." He said and only then did I know who the child I was talking to was.
"Aidan? Is that you?" I said.
"Absolutely yes. I also don't know why my appearance here is a kid." He says.
"Bring me back to my world... Please." I said ...
"Veera, you can no longer go back. I have no ability to let you out because I am only a path to enter this world." He says.
"Just spend all your life here and do the things that you want to do that you didn't had the chance to do in your previous world. Build yourself to be a better person here Veera." He said and opened the book on the study table.
"You no longer need to study who Veera Park is because you.., yourself is Veera Park. You willingly remember your past and acquaintances in this world." He added while holding the book Sci-fi genre about the parallel universe.
"I don't want this world. So bring me back to my world Aidan. I'm begging." I said and knelt in front of him while holding his hand.
"Mom needs me there." I added.
"People who love you here in this world also needs you." He says.
"Gradually you will forget your memories over the time you have been here. This world does not consider your memories in your recent world." He said and I feel like he is leaving because he is going to the door of my room.
"Hey wait." I said and followed him out the door.
But when I went out I did not see Aidan. Where did he go?
"Aidan ...? Where are you?" I asked in a whisper but I think he is really gone.
The scent of what they were cooking for breakfast was really waking up all my senses... I went down slowly and quietly went to the kitchen to see who was cooking that delicious breakfast with the tastiest smell.
I sat quietly in the dining chair and watched how the oldest maid of Mrs. Park cook breakfast.
She does look like a chef working to her very best and skills in the whole kitchen. There are no people here at the kitchen of the mansion, so I can say She is enjoying her own stage at an hour like this.
"Young Miss. You woke up early. What do you want to eat? We will prepare for you." I was surprised when her daughter, who was a little younger than HoRim, suddenly appeared. She is Liezel.
"You surprised me." I said and grabbed my chest.
"I'm sorry if I surprised you." She said and laughed a little.
"I thought you were watching Mama for a long time and just waiting for her to serve for your food." She said as she placed plates and utensils in front of me.
"I went down just minutes ago. I woke up due to the smell of what Nanay Liza was cooking." I said and smiled. They were surprised by what I said because they both looked at me.
"This is the first time you called me 'Nanay Liza' Young Miss. I am happy that you had come back. We and the other housemaids had also been sad because of your long years of absence." She said and laid down on the table her freshly cooked Bacons and Eggrolls.
"Thank you." I said to her then take an Eggroll she had laid down and bit on it.
"You're really good at cooking Nanay Liza. I missed your dishes so much while I was in the States." I said and one after another I eat Bacons and Eggrolls.
"You know, two person are calling me by the nickname 'Nanay Liza'" She smiled and said, she also gave me water because maybe she thought I would choke because I ate one after another of what she cooked.
"Yes. Then you two actually has the same name Veera." Nanay Liza's daughter said excitedly.
I felt like I was choking so I suddenly drank the water in front of me.
Of course. I called her Nanay Liza when I am Veera Eugenio but not this Veera Park.
"W-Who was that?" I innocently questioned her...
"Veera Eugenio. The twin's tutor. It's just the same age as you, Young Miss. She's a very smart and very intelligent child." She said as if overjoyed.
I didn't know they were so appreciative of me. Although I rarely talked to them, because I was more focused on the two children.
"I want to meet her." I just said and then got up to take my plates to the sink when Nanay Liza's daughter took it.
"Ah-I should have put it." I told her.
"We don't want you to get tired Young Miss." Smiling she said.
"Oh no! I really want you not to serve me too much. You are the ones I do not want to get tired of." I told them and held both their hands.
"If you weren't so busy today ... Can you come with me?" I said to the two of them.
They seemed surprised at what I did and at what I asked them.
"Oh, it's embarrassing, Young Miss." They both said and shyly bowed.
I looked around before speaking.
"Tell all the maids that... Your Young Miss is here to help them, if they encounter members of Park's Family that is being rude to them or did something wrong to them. I'm your back up people, You know it from the start. You're all my people even though I know Mommy hired all of you. I just want to bring back the times I was not here to protect you from them. " I said in a whisper but authoritatively to both of them.
"I'm back here, so your rights are back." When I said that, they both cried and hugged me.
"Liezel and I did not leave here because we knew you would come back. Some maids here too, even though it was very difficult, did not plan to leave because they have great confidence in you that you will not leave us Young Miss." Nanay Liza said as she wiped away the tears.
Sorry Veera Park. I've used your memories for my personal gain. In the whole Park family, you are the only one who is really kind to the lower state of life especially your maids.
Having other memories of another person inside your head is really quite amusing for me.
"Wear your most beautiful clothes." I told them and winked.
If they believe that I am Veera Park? Let's be a real Veera Park!
----
Aidan said, I should be enjoying being a Veera in this world because this is my world. Now Let's do it!
"W-Wow! Young Miss it's really beautiful here! Aren't the famous celebrities in Korea coming here?" Liezel whispered to me that you will obviously noticed the amazed in her eyes.
To be honest, I, myself also got amazed and even wonder. HAHAHAHA This is my first time going here. But when I saw in Veera's photos that she had a photo that she was on Avenue JUNO in the states anyway. Because it is impossible for her to go back to Korea for a while just to take a haircut...
But not so impossible? You know, she might had her escapade. Hahaha.
Anyways so this is the place I chose because I have to look like Veera Park in front of everyone. It might look weird if I take these two to places I know, So I better to be still and stay safe.
It's really nice here, just don't look at the price. Very Overwhelming to see. Anyways, when I entered I look at all the employees who are currently in the lobby of Avenue JUNO and the smile in their eyes is priceless. It was as if they saw an angel that they had been waiting for a long time to return.
"OMG! Ms. Vee! We missed you, you haven't been here before how many years. How many years have passed? 3? 2?" I laughed at the receptionist because he was so happy to see me but not knowing that I was not really real.
"T-three years?" Confused Liezel said.
"Once a month Ms. Vee comes here, All year last 3 years. She never skips a month all year. And every time she goes Ms. Vee is very generous." glad it says.
Just as I thought. I'm right because Veera is really coming home here but her parents didn't find her? I mean it might not be true that her parents were looking for her or the tears of Mrs. Park she showed me yesterday might not even be real at all? Something's wrong here ...
"Where would be your room Ms. Vee? Are you the only one doing make-over or are they with you?" One of their employees said then looked at Liezel and Nanay Liza from head to toe.
I just hand sign to them the 'same old routine with the two of them'
Another employee took us to the Psyche Room. Psyche ROOM is one of their Hair stylist room. This is great. I only see these in Korean Dramas.
"Nanay L-Liza ... Is Young Miss serious here that she will include us in this? M-Ma'am might be angry with us if we agree." I heard Liezel whisper to her mom but I ignored it.
"Just tell Mommy that I forced you to join me and in return because you accompanied me, this was my compensation for the work you could not do all day." I shrugged then I adjusted my seat that was the most confortable chair here inside the Psyche ROOM.
"I-it's embarrassing ... I saw earlier that the prices are too expensive." Liezel added.
"If you found it really expensive, should I add more? To make you feel more guilty? It seems like you are not happy that I came back." I said with a smile and then I pout.
"Will you please j-just shut up Liezel. Young Miss gave us the chance to bond with her, you should be atleast felt grateful yet You still can make your mouth shut." Mother Liza scolded her daughter so I just laughed.
This is it, here we go. The three hairstylists started checking up on our hair and started applying shampoo.
They are obedient because I only saw two chairs and mirrors inside the Psyche ROOM so I asked them to add one more, which they did also followed even though it was against their rules because there are only 2 seats designated for two persons that can be inside one room. But maybe because of Veera's charisma with these people, they can no longer refuse what this person wants.
