Freedom Island With You

Back to Paris 37

Upon Star's arrival at Paris.

"Star is here," one fan shouted.

Camera here, there and every corner where they could take photo of her.

Their sgs following them are supposed to stop the crowd but Star gestured it's okay.

She smiled at them and patiently let them take a picture. Lucky fans were even able to take a photo with her.

But then, the crowd kept on increasing so Aurore tried to ask help from their sgs.

Star waved good bye to them while the guards are escorting them to go.

Upon her arrival at their house. Aurore received a call that Risette is sick. They hurriedly went to the hospital.

Aurore and Star arrived earlier than Fori.

Star saw how Risette is feeling so weak.

"Mom, I'm here," Star initially told her.

"What took you so long to come back?" she asked. She knew Star would come back but she hoped Anders to come back as well.

Star hugged her.

"Where's Anders?"

"He has to stay there mom," she honestly answered.

Aurore would want to stop Star but she can no longer changed what was uttered.

"Risette, Anders is going to attend med school."

"I wanna see him. Tell him I'm sick. Let him be back."

Then Fori opened the door.

Her footsteps made Star look at her.

Fori did not show any emotion to Star.

She slowly walked near Risette.

"Mmy," she said as she held her hand.

"Fori, find Anders and get him back here, would you do it for me?" she requested with a very weak voice begging her so much.

Fori knew Risette might get angry so she answered the way she would want to hear.

"Yes mmy, I'll find for him."

Aurore is not okay with what she said so she looked at Fori with anger.

Fori knew Tante Aurore wanted to talk to her so she got out first.

She was immediately followed by Aurore.

"You should not agree with her."

"Tante, that's the best thing we should do."

"Risette is okay, why didn't you let me answer her?"

"Tante, believe me, we have to get Anders back."

"Don't look for him. Let her understand that Anders has to attend school."

"What if she can't tante? What are we going to do?" she asked with so much worry.

"She will."

"Tante, I'm going back to US. I'm afraid what might happen."

"If you want to go back, then it'll be better."

"I'll go once she's okay."

"Don't wait for her to be okay, you tell her you're going to find Anders."

"Tante, didn't you just say that we have to talk to her honestly?"

"Going back without further reason is something that will make her wonder Give her at least one reason why you have to go."

"Then, I'll listen this time tante. Who am I to insist what I think? I have to obey you as well."

"Thank you Fori. Go back to your mmy and find time to talk to her."

As Fori entered once again inside the room, Star is sleeping beside Risette. Risette was trying to comb Star's hair the way she usually comb her daughter's hair back then.

"Shhhhhhh, Star is sleeping," she told Fori.

Star fell asleep because she just arrived- from Philippines to Korea then from Korea to Paris.

Fori carefully walked upon her. She kissed her forehead then she whispered she has to go back home.

"I'm going to be okay soon, see you at home," Risette whispered.

Fori returned home. In her mind, she knew her Mmy is not okay but she has to listen and just believe she's okay though her mind said her Mmy is not really okay.

Fori can't sleep, she kept thinking about Risette. She went back to the hospital.

To Fori, seeing how Risette care for Star made her feel jealous, she's aware she can't be jealous of her real children before so she didn't let herself feel it, but she knew she can feel jealous now because Star is not her real daughter in the first place. But what can she do? She's just her niece and will never be her daughter.

To Risette, she's longing her daughter's presence so much that she has to live with the thought that her daughter is just beside her, that her daughter is alive and never did she leave her. She's aware of what she's doing, she's aware it's not right, but she turned herself into a selfish mother. Selfish because she owned Star as her daughter. She has to do it because she wanted to be happy.

To Star, she is longing for her real mother's care, she's afraid she might love Risette more than her real mom soon because of the things that happened, for letting her go and pushing her away from her, she can't understand, she can't understand why her mom has to hurt her.

To Aurore, she's waiting for the time when Risette could finally accept that her son and daughter were already gone. She misses her friend so much but she can't do anything because even she, is trying to cover up what's really goin on. She thought she's helping her to cope up but actually helping her to keep herself confined with the nightmare she've been through. She can't agree to Fori because she can't also let go of her friend, she has to think Risette is okay and let everyone think she's okay because she's afraid to lose her.

To Anders, he is fine, he can already pursue his dream but there's a guilt in her heart. There's something in his heart that is making him weak and feel sorry. But he has to do it not for him, but for Star also. He knew he can do nothing because he has no means yet, but when he's all ready he knew he could do everything for her.

To Anders mom and dad they are happy. They are the happiest among them because they got back their son. They can live with their son again. They can send him back to school and they could probably watch him grow and mature. They are not aware of their son's solitude state, they are not aware that their son is missing someone. They don't know that what they feel is the exact opposite of how their son feels. They only think their son is happy because he obeys them.

To Star's dad, he is so helpless about his daughter. He can't even help her because he does not know why his wife is acting strange. He can't question his wife about her decision because something is hindering him from doing so, and that he could only keep quiet.

To Star's mom, there's total sadness in her heart for hurting her daughter. But what can she do? She has to abide by the agreement she and Risette made. She has to live with it or else she'll lost Star in her life forever. She was not able to wait. She was so eager to know about her daughter that she ended up making an agreement for her impulsive decision. For her what was the most important was the fact that Elish is still there.

Will they continue to live this way?
