Bound To You

Chapter 54

"Oh, Trystan. Nakausap mo na si Pam?" father asked while I was descending from stairs.

I nodded and smiled. I don't know but I feel lightheaded, like something's heavy finally lifted. Maybe that's because I have finally decided what I wanted to do noon pa.

Im always choosing what I thought was right kahit hindi ko gusto. But that's the thing was. We choose the things we thought was right to avoid complications.

"Papa, can I talk to you?" I asked.

He looked at me in confusion then gestured me to sit down on the sofa across him. "Nagbago na ba yung isip mo tungkol kay Pam?" nakangiti niyang tanong.

"P-po?" I asked, confused.

He laughed then shook his head. "I know. Simula pa lang na gusto mo na siya. Lalaki ako anak. Alam ko yung ibig sabihin ng mga titig at kilos mo. Don't worry, sinabi ko na naman sayo noon na boto ako sayo di'ba? Hindi naman nagbago yun"

I was in dazed. I didn't know what to respond on that. Damn. It feels so good knowing that the father of the one you love accepts you for his daughter. Si Pam na lang talaga yung problema ko saka si Ian. Tss.

"Tagal mong hindi nagparamdam. Siguro naman nakapag-isip ka na ng mabuti"

"Opo. And im hundred percent sure about this" I said with conviction.

Father laughed in pure bliss. "Good. Goodluck"

I went to their house as early as I can. I missed cooking for her kaya wala na 'kong palalagpasin na kahit anong chance. If I need to live here, I'll do it. Sabi ko naman kasi dati, once na makakita ako ng opportunity to pursue her I'll grab it whatever it takes and now, this is the chance I've been waiting for so damn long. Finally! I grinned.

I heard footsteps coming kaya lumingon ako. I automatically smiled when I saw her still not fully awakened.

"Good morning!" I greeted loudly like I used to do before. Damn I missed this.

"Morning" she greeted back.

Woah! Hindi pa nga talaga siya gising kasi binati niya ko. Normally, she'll start asking me what am I doing here as her way of greeting. Im starting to like half asleep Pamela. I chuckled.

"Good morning ulit Kikay!" I chuckled when I saw her forehead immediately creased.

Yan. She must recognized my presence. I stared at her and just watched her looking shocked.

"Bakit ka nandito?" she finally asked as she sat on her chair.

"I told you, I'll be back for good. From now on mauumay ka na sakin dahil hindi na 'ko mawawala sa paningin mo"

"Psh"

I put the coffee in front of her and her favorite breakfast and leaned on the sink afterwards, "Makakarating ka na ulit sa langit. For sure sobrang namiss mo luto ko" sabi ko pero yung totoo, mas ako yung nakamiss magluto para sa kanya.

I watched her eat as I sat on the chair across hers. I propped my elbow and rested my chin on my palm. "Namiss rin kitang ipagluto" I said loudly, "Sorry kung medyo matagal akong nawala"

"Hindi ako tumatanggap ng sorry" she answered nonchalantly.

"I know. Prepared ako" I grinned then stood up and removed the apron off my body and walked to the living room.

Hindi lang naman kasi pagluluto yung namiss ko. I miss sending her gifts as well. I maybe stopped giving her pandas but I never stopped buying one for her. I bought every panda that laid my eyes on kahit na pare-pareho. That's all for her.. For her dull room.
