Chained By Heart - (JenLisa)

Apat!

LISA'S POV.

"Y-you're here. . ." I stuttered with shock face which he responded with a giggle.

"Yes, I'm here. I'm sorry it took this long to visit you. . . Finally, i got to see you after years," he said and held my shoulders before pulling me into a father-like hug.

I paused with my mouth agape as i reminisce the moment of being between his embrace.

A sudden feeling darted around my body and i felt so sad. The same pain i have felt everytime i remember my parents' warm embraces once again grew inside me.

"Papa... Mama," i called under my breath as i hug him back.

I poured all my feelings into that hug, thinking it was my father who was hugging me and closing my eyes while my tears started to form.

"My gem, i miss you," i shot my eyes open hearing that voice.

I don't know if I'm just imagining things or i just heard my father's voice. And that name he called me. . . My papa is the only one who calls me that name.

"Mama misses you too. We miss you," papa's voice once again utter.

I tighten my hug as i started sobbing badly. I literally felt my father's hug, even his scent. He felt so real. . . How i wish it was really my papa i was hugging not some stranger whom i met 10 years ago.

"I miss you too, papa. I really miss you... I miss you and mama, please come back," i whispered.

"My gem, happy birthday," papa said and that's when i let my cry out, not minding these maids and butlers.

"Don't cry... It's your day, be happy... We're happy to watch grow up so good. Keep up the good work and don't forget about being kind to everyone, just like what mama and i tells you," he said and i unconsciously nodded.

"I will, papa! I will, i love you!" I said eagerly.

"We love you too, my gem," and then he broke the hug.

"Are you okay now, Lisa?" I yelped when i heard the guy's voice instead of papa's.

"U-uhh, yeah... H-how is that?" I asked while wiping my tears.

"A happy birthday present for you, darling," he said.

"Thank you, I don't know what you did, but, thank you," he nodded with the same smile as he reached for my face and caresses it.

"You're so beautiful, darling," he compliments and i blush.

Not because i felt giddy but because i am not used on someone complimenting me face-to-face.

People may adore me everytime, but, i only hear them saying some fluttering words either on a whisper or in a joking way.

"T-thank y—AAHH!" I flinched when a very loud thunder echoed.

"Uh-oh," this guy said and he giggled, retrieving his hands from my face.

"Did you like the car?" He asked.

"What car?" He smiled at me as but didn't say a word.

Then, it hit me.

"Oh! The limousine! It was yours?" I asked in surprise.

"Nope, that's yours."

"No, what i mean was..." I paused as i gesture my hands. He giggled.

"Yes, yes, it was a present," my mouth went agape.

"And the guards too," my eyes went wide.

"Wut? Why?"

"What do you mean why? I always send you presents every birthdays," he said in a confused manner.
