_________________________"Good morning eomma." He came to the dining room and pecked his mother's cheek. The older woman smiled and signalled the maid to get his breakfast.
"Good morning to you too." It was another morning with random talks and high quality breakfast. "You look extra handsome today. Anything special Beom-ah?" She raised her eyebrow at his son who simply laughed at the comment.
"I have a meeting in Jeju Do." He replied after controlling his laughter and taking a big spoonful of cornflakes. "You'll come tomorrow then?"
"No. I'll be back by midnight. Don't wait for me." He quickly finished his breakfast and left home, not forgetting to peck his mother's forehead.
"Oh and bye Nora. I'll miss you." He pet his cat's head while she meowed~
Im Jaebum, 26, is a respectable figure in the corporate world. His father passed away when he was in high school. With the help of his mother and relatives, he managed his father's company and completed his education. After graduating, he took over the company and became successful with his wits in no time.
"Do you have the tickets?" Jaebum asked Jinyoung, his scretary and his college buddy. "Of course." He rolled his eyes at his boss' question.
"Lets go then.."
.
.
."What would you like to have for lunch?" The maid, Hyorin asked Mrs Im. She was reading an article about her son in one of the most renowned magazine. She was a proud mother.
"Ris-"
The doorbell rung interrupting her. Bora, another maid, quickly went to the gates to check the visitor. She checked the intercom and saw a short girl with braided hair standing in front of the main gates with a big bag.
"Who are you Miss?" Bora politely questioned. The girl on the other side grew nervous. She fiddled with her fingers before replying.
"Hello. Can I see Mrs Im?" Although a foreigner, she was fluet in Hangul. Bora asked her to wait as she went inside to inform Mrs Im about the situation. She asked Bora to invite the girl in.
"Hello. My name is Meera Suri." The girl introduced herself and bowed ninety degrees. Mrs Im grew a bit confused. The name sounded familar as well as the girl. Her round face, big eyes and plump lips reminded her of something or rather someone.
"Please read this. It is from my father." Meera extended a letter to Mrs Im. Even Meera didn't know what was written in that letter. Mrs Im sat on the couch and read the letter.
"Bora, prepare the guest room. She will be living with us." Bora immediately left the two. Mrs Im kept the letter on the table after reading it and stood up to sit next to Meera. She gently pet her hair with adoration in her eyes.
"I am so sorry about your father." She said and hugged the girl. Meera's eyes brimmed with tears upon remembering her deceased father.
"How do you know him?" She managed to ask the old lady with teary eyes. Her mother died while giving birth to her. And months ago her father died in an accident. Then her aunt gave her this letter which her father addressed it to Mrs Im. Her aunt arranged the tickets and asked her to meet the woman who will help her.
"Your parents were great people. And I owe them my life." Mrs Im replied shortly. "We can have this conversation later. The flight would have been long. Get some rest." She guided Meera to her new room.
"Meow~"
"Aaah!" Meera got scared and stepped backwards. Mrs Im chuckled and picked up Nora who was greeting the guest. "Her name is Nora."
"I'm j-just....sca-scared of animals." Soyou came and took Nora out of Mrs Im's hands to feed her.
"Its your room." Mrs Im opened the door to a spacious room. It was indeed big with a balcony. The girl was in complete awe of the place.
"You like it? We can change it if you want." Mrs Im said as she adjusted the curtains of the balcony.
"Its beautiful." Meera sat on the bed and touched the bedside table. The imported timber wood mesmerised her. "Take some rest. I'll call you for lunch."
"Thank you." Meera bowed. Mrs Im smiled at her. "Feel at home."
When she was alone, she let her body fall in the soft mattress. A lot of things came to her mind. She was really confused with everything. She was okay with her aunt. It was all going well but then she asked her to come to Seoul because this lady here can provide her with a better living. She was not at all materialistic and did not mind living in a small apartment. But her aunt thought otherwise. She really likes Meera and wanted her to live better.
"I should unpack." She massaged her temples and did the needful.
.
.
."Miss!" Dasom ran to Meera and took the dishes from her hand. "But why?"
"You are our guest. I cannot let you wash the dishes!" She tried to gently shoo her away but Meera didn't budge.
"Its alright. Mrs Im asked me to feel at home." She smiled to make her relax but then Mrs Im came.
"Dasom, if she wants to do it then its fine. But I'll help you too." She gladly joined her in washing the dishes.
"And call me eomouni."
.
.
."Goodnight sir." The guard closed the gates as Jaebum's car went inside. It was past 1am when he entered his home. He was walking to his room but then he noticed an unfamilar figure walking to the kitchen.
Sensing a threat he quietly walked in the desired direction. The person was about to open the fridge, but he caught that person's hand and turned her around before pinning her hands on either sides of her face with her back on the fridge itself.
It was Meera. Her long curly hair covered her face a bit as her eyes widened in horror. Not knowing what to do she opened her mouth to scream for help but Jaebum covered her mouth with his palm.
"Who are you?" He gritted through his teeth. His jaw was all clenched in anger. Meera's lips quivered in fear. She continued to watch his face in the dim light that came from the living room. Jaebum returned her stare. He searched her face but all he could see was fear.
She struggled to break free from his grip but he tightened it even more. His body leaned forward trapping her.
"I asked you something!!" He removed his hand from her lips and slammed it on the fridge causing her to flinch in surprise.
"EOMOUNI!"
She screamed at the top of her lungs and put all her force to push him away but he didn't budge.
"Omo! Jaebum!" Mrs Im heard the commotion and immediately ran to the kitchen with a few maids. She seperated the two and turned to Meera with a concerned look. "Eom-"
"Not now Jaebum."
Meera was shook. It was a first for her. She has lived with her father who was treated her with politeness and gentleness. Never in her life she experienced scolding or anger. She has always been a good daughter and a good student that there was no need to do so.
"Meera? You okay?"
A simple encounter like that shook her sensitive heart.
"I'll take you to your room." After making sure that she slept, Mrs Im went to the living room to talk to Jaebum.
"Who is she?" He asked not trying to be rude. Its easy for him to lose his cool.
"Her name is Meera and she will be living with us."
"Okay but who is she?"
"Its late. You should sleep. Apologise to her in the morning."
With that she left to her room.
Who is she?
