Sudden Appearance

Our trip to Taiwan was amazing, though it started with a bit of trouble, the experience is indeed amazing.

After our trip,I still have two days on my break so I decided to go home and visit Uncle Kenjie and Aunt Nozomi. From afar I can see the how old they've become, and I really miss them. "Auntie", when she heard me, she was shocked and hugged me hard. "Dear child, why are you gone so long, we missed you so much." I hugged her back and started to cry, "Sorry, Auntie and I miss you too so much".

"Come on, let's go inside, you rest first and we'll prepare dinner." I can see her happy leading me inside and to my room. She called Uncle and he came right away, seeing him aged made me emotional, I am really selfish for leaving these couple behind. I saw his tears and I said "Don't worry uncle and auntie, I will visit you always this time." as I hugged them both.

They are so happy with my presence and they insisted to go buy ingredients for we will be having a feast tonight. I was left alone, they wanted me to rest while waiting for them. After unpacking my my things, I lied down my bed and stared at my ceiling, and yes I've decided to leave for Korea but I will not leave my two family behind this time.

So much thoughts came but as I am still lying in my bed dreaming about the places we visited, the food we ate and that milk tea which made me love sugar more. Thinking about it made me crave for that drink, suddenly I heard my phone ring.

I looked at my phone and see an unregistered number, it took me a while to answer it. A cheerful voice greeted me on the other side "Hello, my darling Larla". Upon hearing his voice made me frown, and irritated as I answered him "Where did you get my number, and why are you calling me again?"

I heard him chuckled "Ho, hold it, don't get angry, don't hung up and please listen." he paused a second like he was confirming if I was still on the line. I did not speak and let him say whatever he wants, then I heard him sigh. I don't know why he is sighing and unknowingly I'm imagining his reaction. Then I heard him say "I'm outside your house"

"What? Why are you here? Who are you with..." as I'm ranting, I heard him laugh and say, "Hold that thought my little princess" I stopped talking and let him finish his laugh. After a while I frowned and said "Had a good laugh? Am I that funny to you?". He really gets into my nerves but, I do not despise it, I find it weird but, I enjoy our little banter.

His chuckle made me smile, and I am wondering if he'll be happy to see me in my pajamas, that thought made me blush, and his voice brought me back to reality.

"Larla, I miss you, please come and see me, let me in.." as I heard him, I suddenly stood up and went straight outside. When he saw me, he laughed heartily while saying, "Little Princess, you really excited to see me? You look gorgeous by the way." as he walked in front of me while scanning me from head to toe.

I finally realized, I am in my pajamas, I can feel my face turning red. I stayed at the door looking at him then, I slammed the door to his face as I shouted "Pervert". I heard him laughing, which made me want to bury myself in the ground.

Gosh why did I do that, what did he do that made me so excited to see him. As my thoughts are running, I heard him knock while saying "Larla, open up, I've seen your delicate body, so you have nothing to hide." His statement made me want to punch his handsome face. I went back to my room and put on my hoodie.

As I opened the door, he hugged me while laughing "I know, we didn't have much encounter, but my heart is missing you or shall I say I've been missing you badly". I let him hug me a little longer and here I am enjoying his warmth. I can feel his chest beating fast, I looked at him and asked, "Are you nervous?"

"Uhuh… By the way your grandpa is waiting in the car." When he said those, I pushed him real hard, but he wouldn't budge, he tightened his hold unto me while saying "Just this one, Larla, let him meet you"

I didn't say anything, my head is not ready to accept new things, yet my heart wants to see this old man. He dragged me out of my house and led me to a BMW, I'm not knowledgeable with car models but I think this car is worth millions. He must be really a wealthy man, so my dad was filthy rich, but because of love, he left it all behind. I am still looking at the car, maybe this handsome man beside me is thinking what sort of things is running inside my head right now. I know deep down, I wanted to meet the man who abandoned my dad, but I'm not ready, not now. As I stepped back, a huge hand, held me and said, "I knew you will do that, please don't let him meet you."

"Well, you see, I'm in my hoodies and PJs, so can I go back and change?" looking at him with a puppy eye. But he tightened his grip and shook his head and smiled "No princess, you will just run away and hide. I will not let you."

I frowned as he laughed, while he is having a good time laughing, the door opened, and an authoritative voice came ringing in my ears "I'm happy seeing you two get along." When I heard his voice, I immediately looked at him, his voice reminded me of dad, and he looks like him. As I look at him, tears have been flowing in my eyes….
