The Crux of My Existence

Chapter-1 started

Hello everyone. I am Leeco Lam, a 17-year-old high school student. When I was three years old, my parents and I were going on a trip, but that journey became my unforgettable journey... The journey took away my parents from me...

I don't know how, but after that accident, I gained the power of reading minds. Well, my grandfather is a very rich man, so he has lots of money to spend on me. But my grandpa is very old, so he thinks he won't be alive for many years, and if he were, who would look after me?

So... I can't explain it, but now I have my non-biological parents.

January 25, 2018

I will meet my non-biological parents, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Luna. I was not able to understand if I should be happy or not. Non-biological parents? That's awesome!

Mr. Lu: "Leeco, from now on, we are your parents. Don't be scared of us. We know that you don't know what the love of parents is. You were just three when your parents died. But don't worry, from now on, we are your parents."

Mrs. Luna: "Pretty girl, from now on, I am your mother, but I am just like your bestie."

Leeco: "Leeco, Luna, Lu... L.L.L. That's amazing!"

(Mind-reading: "Wait, Leeco, first use your power and read their minds. Lu, I know this is a mission, but I... that sweet girl... We are spies, but after completing this mission, we can live with Leeco. I will talk to Lu later.")

Leeco: "S-s-s..."

Grandpa: "Leeco, whose name starts with 'S'?"

Leeco: "No, Grandpa, I was saying that the outside is very big."

Mrs. Luna: "This is 10:00 p.m. You could say the outside moon is very big, ha..."

(Mind-reading: "I am going to live in a spy family? I can't think! This is not real life; I am going into a novel!")

Leeco: "You both are my parents now, so what is your profession?"

Mr. Lu: "I am an Architect, and Luna is a teacher."

(Mind-reading: "Ha! Architect and teacher. No, no. Say my friends can't think how nice a future I'm going to! Home! Leeco, our daughter! Oh, my biological parents, my real mommy and daddy... My friends Sisi, Zeah, Zeeky, and Grandma, my cats, my dogs, my uncle, my aunt, my Nani, my maid, my teacher, my cousins... Ha ha a a a a a a a a a a... Spy! Spy! Spy family! Daughter of spies! Spy mummy! Spy daddy! I am happy! Very, very happy! Very, very grateful to God, to Grandpa, that my grandpa granted me a spy mummy and a spy daddy! L.L.L. Spy family! L.L.L. L - Leeco, L - Luna, and L - Lu!")

Grandpa: "Leeco, are you fine? What are you thinking?"

Mrs. Luna: "Leeco, if you have any queries, please ask me."

Leeco: "No, no, I was just thinking that!"

Mr. Lu: "You're thinking what?"

Leeco: "I was thinking that now I have to leave Grandpa."

Grandpa: "Oh, Leeco, my dear. I am going to London. Do you still have to leave me?"

Leeco: "London? Ah, what do you mean?"

Grandpa: "Your small mind does not have the capability to understand what I said."

Meet my friends

I hate going to school, but I have to go. I love summer mornings, but going to school takes all the joy away. I wish my school timing was 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., but that's not possible. Let's meet my friends, Zeah and Sisi, my besties. They are both as sweet as chocolate. Both are the only friends who haven't cheated me in my whole seventeen years of life.

Leeco: "Sisi, Zeah, I'm here!"

Sisi: "Sweetie, you are looking so happy today."

Leeco: "Sisi, now I have my new parents."

Zeah: "What do you mean by new parents?"

Sisi: "Somebody adopted you?"

Leeco: "No, my grandpa adopted my new parents."

Zeeky: "Oh! You mean your new parents are orphans?"

Leeco: "Zeah... Z-Z-Zeeky!"

Zeeky: "My name is just Zeeky, not Zeeee Zeeky."

Leeco: "Ah! Forget about it. You know, now I have my new parents."

Zeeky: "Who are those unlucky people in the world?"

Leeco: "What do you mean? They are unlucky because of me, now that I am their daughter?"

Sisi: "Zeeky, Leeco, stop! Leeco, continue what you are telling us."

Leeco: "I can't explain it properly, but the key point is that now I have my new parents."

Zeah: "What are your new parents' professions?"

Leeco: "Ha ha ha ha."

Zeeky: "I am feeling like you're mentally ill."

Leeco: "My new parents are spies."

Zeeky: "Oh! My parents are vampires."

Leeco: "Vampires don't exist."

Zeeky: "If your parents can be spies, my parents can't be vampires?"

Leeco: "Because you are an idiot."

Zeeky: "I am an idiot, so who are you, Einstein?"

Leeco: "No, I am Monalisa."

Zeah: "Stop fighting! You are adults now, not K.G. (Kindergarten) kids."

Sisi: "I think K.G. kids don't know the names of Einstein and Monalisa."

Zeah: "Sisi, did I ask for your opinion?"

Sisi: "Ok, sorry."

Leeco: "The bell is just going to ring in 5 minutes and 30 seconds, so come to class."

"I met Zeeky for the first time at the car accident where my parents died. Actually, in that car accident, I was supposed to die, but Zeeky saved me. How and why, I can't explain, but if he hadn't saved me, I wouldn't exist in this world today. But somehow, after that accident, I gained the ability to read everyone's mind in the whole world, except Zeeky's. Maybe because he saved me, a connection formed between us, and I've never been able to read his mind. I've read everyone's mind, but never Zeeky's. That's why Zeeky is very precious to me, because he saved my life, and he became my best friend for life. He was my best friend in kindergarten and primary school, but we didn't study together from middle school. Even so, my life was incomplete without Zeeky. Then we ended up in the same high school, and that was the best moment of my life, meeting Zeeky in the first year of high school. Zeeky is the most unforgettable person for me in the world."

Sunday Afternoon

12 o'clock

Zeeky: "I didn't even want to get up today, but I had to come here because of you."

Sisi: "Zeeky, you want to fight with Leeco?"

Leeco: "Forget it. Meet my new parents, my new mummy and my new daddy."

Mr. Lu: "Nice to meet you, kids."

Zeah: "Uncle, did you adopt Leeco, or did Leeco's grandfather give you the responsibility of Leeco?"

Mrs. Luna: "Nothing matters now. Leeco is our daughter; only this matters."

Sisi: "Leeco, you must be happy with your parents."

Leeco: "Yes, I am feeling supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."

Zeeky: "Super California luscious?"

Mrs. Luna: "No, it's 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.'"

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is a 34-letter nonsense word that became popular in the 1964 film Mary Poppins. It's often used to express something is extraordinarily good or wonderful. While the word has no literal meaning, it's a fun and memorable way to convey excitement or strong approval, especially among children and fans of the film."

Zeah: "Wow, Aunty, that's awesome."

Zeeky: "I think it's a song."

Mr. Lu: "The 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' song from Mary Poppins is a whimsical number that centers around a nonsensical word. The song, which is sung by Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews), highlights the word's length and its lack of a real meaning. It's presented as a word to use when you have nothing specific to say, but the song's infectious melody and the fun of the word's pronunciation make it memorable and enjoyable."

Zeah: "Can you sing that song?"

Mr Lu and Mrs Luna: It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious

If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I

Because I was afraid to speak when I was just a lad

Me father gave me nose a tweak, told me I was bad

But then one day I learned a word that saved me achin' nose

The biggest word you ever heard and this is how it goes

Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious

If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I

He traveled all around the world and everywhere he went

He'd use his word and all would say there goes a clever gent

When dukes or Maharajas pass the time of day with me

I say me special word and then they ask me out to tea (woo)

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious

If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I

You know you can say it backwards which is

Dociousaliexpisticfragicalirupus

But that's going a bit too far, don't you think?

Indubitably

So when the cat has got your tongue there's no need for dismay (here-ye)

Just summon up this word and then you've got a lot to say

But better use it carefully or it could change your life

For example

Yes?

One night, I said it to me girl and now me girl's me wife

Oh, and a lovely thing she is, too

She's

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Zeeky: "Wonderful! This is the best Sunday of my life."

Zeah: "Mine, also."

Leeco: "My parents are supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"
