Twelve Years Later

Why not?

"Dad?" I went to the living room. "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course darling."

"Can I go to Bulgaria? Just for a few days. Please."

"Why so? To see Kristian?"

"Yes. Um... He asked if I can come."

"I'm not sure Adison. You're not even 18."

"Dad please."

"No. Another time he invites you."

"Why not? Dad please!"

"I said no."

"After all, he's my boyfriend."

"After all, you are my daughter."

I ran to my room crying. I took my phone and called Dani.

"Adi? Did you ask your dad?"

"Yes... I can't come..." I sighed.

"Please tell me you are kidding me."

"I'm not. I tried my best. Believe me."

"I do."

"Anyways, how's Kris?"

"The doctor said he doesn't want to eat and that he wants to see you and unless then he won't eat."

My eyes were full of tears again.

"I need to find the way to come."

When I said that dad came into my room.

"Little lady, you're not going anywhere."

"I said I need to find the way to go not to escape!" I almost yelled.

"Adi, give me your dad please." Dani said. And I did. He explained dad everything.

"Oh God. I'm so sorry to hear that," dad said.

After they finished the call, dad kissed my forehead. He went out of the room. I was disappointed. After a few minutes he came back with my suitcase. I smiled.

"Pack your things quick. You are going to Bulgaria," he said.

"Thanks dad!" I jumped from bed out of happiness.

"As soon as it's possible." He said.

"Will you find tickets for plane?"

"Of course."

"Okay. Thank you dad so much!"
