Bound To You

CHAPTER 8

I can't stop smiling while thinking of her reaction about the personalized necklace. It's ambigram. My nickname on her 'Kikay' and my shortened first name 'Tryst'. Napadaan lang naman ako kanina sa jewelry store bago makarating sa supermarket. It's not planned at all. The time limit attracted me kaya sinubukan ko kung totoong magagawa nila in just five hours yung plated name. I bought two. For me and for her. I thought it was impossible but they made iy on time.

I guess she would never read my name dahil ibabato niya agad yun pagnakita niya. I chuckled at the thought. It doesn't matter, at least it's with her and she saw it.

Umuwi na ko kila Yanna. I did called my Dad to tell Papa's plan but he demanded for explanation. I didn't hide anything to him kaya inexplain ko lahat.

"Okay son. Goodnight" then he ended the call.

Mom for sure will ask me tons of questions when she knew that and I know right at this moment, Dad's already telling Mom what i've asked him to do.

I shook my head. Pumunta ako sa kusina para magluto ng dinner. This is my role here kaya napapayag si Yanna na dito ako for the whole summer vacation. To be her cook was her condition dahil sawa na daw siya sa luto ng cook nila. Such a spoiled brat.
"What are you cooking?" Yanna asked.

Hindi na ko nagabala pang tumingin sa kanya "Adobo"

"Rice for dinner? Are you going to make me fat?" tanong niya.

"It's up to you. You're going to be fat because you're not doing exercise" I shrugged.

"Si Pam din naman! And FYI, mas malakas siyang kumain sakin"

"I've never heard her complain about her figure like you do" I answered.

She rolled her eyes. Tss. If I have a sister, I won't let her bond with Yanna and get that eye rolling from her. Just by seeing it is already an eyesore what if I actually do it? That would never happen. I swear to this adobo.

"Tita Honey likes Pam. We had a great time kanina" Yanna started as she sat on the chair.

Nilapag ko muna sa table yung niluto ko bago naupo. "Why is she curious anyway?" I frowned.

Yanna smirked "Because I told her you like Pam"

I stared at her then shook my head. "Then?"

"Duh? Of course I told her everything that you did to her"

Umiling ulit ako at nagsimula ng kumain. Hindi na ko nagsalita. Yanna and I are not really close. We just talk casually. Raven also, dahil torpe yun at umaatras ang buntot pagdating kay Yanna.

I went to bed but got up again quickly. It's too early and I wouldn't be able to sleep because of my insomnia. In times like this, I always pulled my car and sneaked out of the house though I know Dad knew I was sneaking in the middle of the night but thankfully he never punished me. He'd just let me do whatever I want to do as long as I keep myself safe.

I was on the way when Pamela suddenly registered to me. I u-turned and went back to their house. All lights were off inside the house. Bumaba ako ng kotse at pumunta sa likod kung nasaan ang emergency exit na sinabi sakin ni Papa. He already trusted me that much.

Pero sa gagawin ko ngayon, baka mabawasan na yung tiwala niya sakin. But im hoping I won't lose his trust after this.

Hinanap ko kung nasaan yung bintana ng kwarto ni Pamela. Madali lang naman maidentify dahil yung bintana lang niya yung may blinders. Naghanap ako ng maliliit na bato at hinagis ko yun sa bintana. I repeated it until she wakes up pero hindi ko namalayan na medyo malaki pala yung bata na nakuha ko dahil nagenjoy ako sa pagbato sa bintana niya and the window glass isn't thick enough not to break.
