Sometimes, human life is not always in line with what they have arranged well. But sometimes a miracle is always a hope. Either it will bear sweet or even bitter fruit.
Likewise with Joana, he just hopes that his arrival does not end with bad things as he had received at that time.
Armed with only a little courage, he came to the magnificent unit in the elite area after hearing it from John. His clothes were simple, and also a worn sash bag hanging over his shoulder, Joana slashed the distance. The large brown gate was tightly closed.
His heart was pounding, his body trembling as he remembered Song Minju's name. He also tried to find a gap by looking at the right and left. Suddenly, the small door on the side of the gate opened. A middle-aged man emerged from behind the door, walking closer to the figure of Joana who was now fixated on her footstool that slightly rattled while pinching her fingers.
“Who to look for?!” asked the thick-bodied sipria in a firm voice.
“A-what's true this r-home host Song M-minju?”
Stuttering, even his tongue felt faint when calling the name plainly in front of others, then Joana turned her gaze as the man left without answering her question. He saw the man rushing in and pushing the main gate.
A luxury car almost entered the area of the house, but suddenly stopped to make Joana worried. He just hopes not Minsu, not HyeJin. These two were the things he most did not want to see again in the face of the earth. His arrival here was just to make sure, not to get back together like a grand reunion.
But luck was not on his side. A woman in fancy clothes, expensive shoes and bags and sunglasses got out of the car. Walking closer with a pongah face, then stopping right in front of Joana.
The world suddenly seemed to stop spinning when the woman he knew named HyeJin took off her sunglasses and their two beads were turning. Joana seemed to be a captive among the pack of hungry wolves as a wide smile from their red lips was directed at her.
“During not meeting?! How are you, Joana-ssi?”
Joana's tongue is completely twisted. Even his throat was dry and unable to make a sound to answer HyeJin's question. He just remained silent, staring anxiously at the already perfectly stiffened body.
“Why? Just relax, I won't kill you!”
After all, it was thought that a thousand times, HyeJin indeed deserved to hate him. And Joana knows, she does deserve this less than pleasant treatment from the great mistress of this family. Since Joana was a nobody, she was just another person who suddenly appeared as a troublemaker in the pawn of the woman's household. Yes, Joana just kept quiet because she was drowned by guilt so deep and concentrated.
“By the way, how is your son? I hope he grows well too!” hyejin asked still with a proud face and an asymmetrical smile on her lips.
It may be just a word, but it has a lot of meaning. Among them may mean the word 'good' for a reflection of really good behavior.
For a moment to throw away her face, Joana ventured to re-attach her eyes to HyeJin. “He grew well, albeit without a father!”
Hearing that remark, HyeJin suddenly stiffened her face, her jaw hardened with a stern look as sharp as the tip of a sword.
“You can still say that? Though I thought that you would be ashamed and leave before me!”
Indeed, HyeJin's mouth could turn into hell if she was being wrestled by anger. But Joana is still strengthening herself, staying on top of her goal, which is to know if Song MinJu does live here, and Song Hyuji is one of her three daughters.
“Song Hyuji, is she your daughter?”
HyeJin turned the eyeballs upside down, then reached into a branded bag and pulled out a blank check sheet which she then thrust to Joana.
“Write whatever you want! And don't bother my family again! I'm sick of seeing your face!” hyejin's circus with a face that was already completely full of space. There is little fear if suddenly Minsu comes and meets Joana.
“Save your check! I don't have the slightest intention of asking you that!”
“Omong empty damn!” sahut HyeJin fast. Joana clearly heard the swearing coming out of HyeJin's mouth which was currently adding steps closer, then stopped on one side of her face and whispered something in her ear. “So you want my daughter?” hyejin asked softly full of intimidation, able to make the fur I had Joana immediately stand up for fear. “Take it! I don't want him! That girl is just a pesky carrier for me!”
Joana's heart melos. He didn't even expect HyeJin to say that his own daughter—Song Hyuji, was the unlucky carrier girl for him. And at that moment, Joana knew the reason why John had brought Hyuji to stay at their house some time ago. Aspiringly filled Joana's heart, her gaze blurred as tears suddenly filled her eyelids.
HyeJin distanced herself a few steps, watching Joana cross-legged from a not-too-distant distance while folding both of her arms in front of her chest.
“What do you mean?” joana asked felt that there was something odd about HyeJin's sentence.
Joana's forehead is wrinkled, she doesn't even know anything about MinJu's reason for starting an illicit relationship with her unbeknownst to HyeJin until John comes into the world.
“You don't know?! Didn't she tell you why she fucked you?”
Okay, those words are already too harsh. Joana closed for a moment and gulped her piercing salivation, so painful that it almost made the emotions held overflow with a rough breath blowing from the nose.
“MinJu wants a son and I can't grant it because doctors forbid me from getting pregnant after giving birth to that damn child!”
Is not the child a gift from God? Why does HyeJin hate Hyuji so much like this?
Joana is astonished by one reason that she just found out after leaving MinJu's life 26 years ago.
“He's like a lousy person when you take his son away just like that! And now, why did you suddenly appear like this? Do you want to ask my husband for your son's rights?”
Joana shakes. For God's sake he has no such intention. Joana is at a loss for words, her mouth locked by the harsh reality of her life with John.
“Atau—”
“ENOUGH!!” joana says spontaneously when HyeJin wants to re-evaluate it with thousands of bitter facts and then with a pretext that he does not know at all. “I just want to make sure if my son doesn't love the wrong woman!”
Obviously HyeJin was surprised by Joana's words that hurt her heart a little. After all she was a mother, willing to conceive Song Hyuji for nine months despite not expecting something she did not want to happen at the end of the wait.
“Kau—”
HyeJin's sentence was again cut so sharply by Joana's words.
“At first I just wanted to make sure, but everything was true!” Joana's tears just fell on her cheeks. He did not know what to say to John, nor did he want to break and destroy the feeling of the son with a single blow. Everything is complicated and chaotic. “I don't want my son to love his own brother! And you need to remember!”
HyeJin clenched both palms until she turned white, her anger peaking.
“Hyuji is a good girl! He doesn't deserve to be like that! She is your daughter after all!”
“BEHIND YOU'RE A FUCKING WOMAN!”
Joana smiled wryly at the long-ago appellation that was thrown once again from HyeJin. “And I will not let my son into your life, I do not want my son to live a difficult life, like the dark past you gave me!”[]
