Bound By A Red Thread THREAD THIRTY-FOUR: FIRST KISS
“HEY, DUDE! How long will you keep staring at her?” Leendon asked Clayton to get his attention. He noticed that his friend is looking at Barbara from a distance.Barbara is in the imaret, reading a book while Clayton and Leendon were under the big tree, looking at Barbara. “Why don’t you approach and talk to her? What if she’s just waiting for you to do that?” Leendon said.Clayton looked down. “How can I do that if she was avoiding me?”Leendon shook his head. “You won’t know if you don’t approach her.”“To be honest, I’m at a loss for words.”Leendon tapped him on the shoulder. “At the very least, show her that you’re doing everything you can to reconnect with her.”____________________“Mer?!”“Randall?”Meredith and Randall exclaimed in unison when they saw each other in the Jail booth.She couldn’t believe that Randall was at the other end of the red thread she had chosen. Was it faith?He frowned. “What are you doing here?” Meredith crossed her arms. “I should be the one as

“LOOKS like you have a lot of customers even though it’s raining heavily,” Randall said when Meredith got into his car. He noticed that she was slightly massaging her nape and shoulders.“Yeah. Most of them went looking for hot coff— what are you doing?” Meredith asked abruptly, almost squeezing herself to the passenger seat’d side while crossing her arms to cover her body.Randall suddenly approached her without any notice. That’s why she remembered him kissing her in front of Jasper earlier.Randall frowned. “Why? I’m just trying to put your seatbelt on.”“You don’t have to. I will do it myself!” then she quickly buckled her seatbelt.”Randall stared at her in surprise while doing that.“Are you still cold?” he asked.“M-me? N-not at all. Why?” Meredith asked back, unable to look him in the eyes because she was biting her lower lip.Randall laughed as he looked up at her wet lips as he remembered what he had done to her earlier.“Don’t tell me it was your first kiss?”“Randall!” she

“HEY, DUDE! You look inspired. I’ve noticed you staring at your phone for quite some time. Who are you looking at, huh?” Ernan asked Randall as he entered their meeting room at the Swimming Club.They have a meeting, so all of the members are present, and they are currently waiting for the officers.“Nothing. I just read something funny in E-Face,” Randall responded.The truth is, he can already picture Meredith’s reaction to the surprise he’s planning for her upcoming birthday. He will make sure that it will be memorable for her.He doesn’t know why but he gets excited when he thinks that her birthday is also the day they will get married. He wondered how their setup would be when they were under the same roof.“Hey! Give it back to me!” Randall exclaimed when Ernan suddenly grabbed his phone.“Oh! I thought you were just reading some amusing posts on E-face, but look what I discovered. “You’re looking at a candid photo of Meredith,” he teased.“Hey! Tone down your voice. Captain mig

“I DIDN’T come here to make amends. I just want to know what is the real reason for you to leave Dad. Does that have anything to do with what George wanted to tell me the last time we spoke?” Barbara said when she decided to meet Rebecca.She noticed the disappointment on Rebecca’s face but she ignored it.“Barba—”“Just say it!” Barbara yelled as she slammed into the table.“Y-your father betrayed me.”She shook her head, unable to believe what she heard. “N-no. Dad can’t do that. Y-you’re just saying that because you want me to despise him as well.”“That’s why I don’t want to tell it to you because I know that’s how you’ll react. But that’s the truth. It’s up to you whether you believe it or not.”“No! I can’t believe you are that desperate,” she said then left with her hands clenched into fists.Rebecca called her many times but she ignored her. There is a part of her that there is a possibility that what Rebecca had revealed was true and there’s only one who can prove that to her

“BARBARA? What’s wrong? Why are you here?” Clayton asked when he opened their gate.Barbara hugged him tight. “Can we go to the park again?”Clayton rubbed her back as he nodded.They become official two months ago. And as he promised, even if their relationship become official, he always makes her feel like he’s still courting her.“So, why did you suddenly come to me? Is it about your dad again?”“I have already admitted to Dad that we’re in a relationship. He investigated you and he thinks that you were only just after my money. He’s so cruel as if it were your fault you were born poor.”“You can’t blame your father for reacting like that. He just wants what’s best for you.”“And you think you’re not enough for me?”“That’s not what I meant. You know that I will do everything I can to be enough and worthy for you,” he responded.Barbara smiled, feeling the warmth of his sincerity.Clayton just simply wrapped his arm around her and placed her head on his shoulder.The girl sighed an

“HOW many times do I have to tell you to stay away from my daughter! She doesn’t deserve someone like you!” Barbara’s father was furious when he suddenly rushed to Clayton’s house.“No! I’m not coming with you!” he appealed.The general pointed at him. “I can sue you with kidnapping!”Barbara did not come home for three nights because his brother is not around so there was no someone she could lean on when her father get mad at her again. Ranier was sent to Nueva Ecija and she didn’t know when he would be able to come home.“Dad, no! I came here voluntarily and brother knows I’m here so you don’t have the authority to do whatever you want!”“I can do anything, Barbara, so if you don’t stay away from that man I will make sure he will rot in jail.”“Excuse me, Sir, but I can also charge you with trespassing and for the mess, you are making here in our house.” Clayton turned around and got shocked when he heard that from his mother who was now staring at the general as if she was throwin

Don’t tell me—”“Hey! I didn’t do anything to you. You should thank me instead because I was the one who looked after you when you were having a nightmare. I even offered my arm to be your pillow yet you’re accusing me of something I didn’t do?” he complained.She stops for a moment to feel her body and nothing hurt except her eyes.“I-I had a nightmare?” She asked.Randall nodded. “You were crying and screaming so I held you close until you fell asleep on my shoulder.”So that explains why her eyes are puffy. She suddenly felt guilty for kicking him without knowing the truth first that’s why she helped him stand up to sit him down on the bed.“S-sorry,” she sincerely apologized.“Aw! I fell badly,” Randall complained whi

CLAYTON is currently resting under a narra tree in the back of the BSU gymnasium. He was now lying on the grass where he had turned his left arm into a pillow. His tutor class just ended, and he still has one hour vacant. He opened his eyes when he felt someone approaching.“Why is my boyfriend frowning, huh?” Barbara asked, who was now massaging his forehead. She was on the side of his head as he knelt to level his face.He didn’t answer.“Hey! What are you thinking?” she added.His mind has been racing with possibilities over the last few days. Particularly in their relationship. He still couldn’t get out of his mind what he and her father had talked about. And until now he does not tell this to his girlfriend.Not seeing Barbara for a day made him almost crazy, what more if her father took her to another country just to take her away from her?

Give me an acceptable reason why you can’t marry me!” Randall yelled, couldn’t accept the fact that he was rejected.Meredith took a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears and face him. “Because you don’t really love me.” Meredith’s emotions were mixed as fear dominated her heart. It seems that her dream about the red thread that Randall cut in her dream came back to her vision.“Mer, that’s not true! I do love you! Can’t you feel it?!” Randall said as his tears escaped his eyes.She sobbed and shook her head. “Y-you’re only saying that because of Barbara and Clayton’s red thread that is connects us.”Her mother and Rebecca covered their mouths at what she said.

“MEREDITH?” Ranier was taken aback as Meredith and Editha entered their house. He couldn’t believe that he would see them so soon. He thought that it would be difficult for him to talk to them again. “Where is he?” Meredith asked, worriedly. “He’s inside his room.” Meredith was on her way to Randall's room when she became stunned and closed her eyes. Barbara’s soul appeared in her body once more. She opened her eyes after a few seconds and turned to face Ranier. “Brother! F-forgive me. It’s all my fault. If it wasn’t for me, the people around me wouldn’t have been hurt. I deeply regret being weak and selfish back then. Ranier hugged her back. “Shhh... It’s okay, Barb. I know how you feel. But, please, help and guide my son, your nephew, to be strong. Don’t let him take his own life. I was so damn hurt by losing you then that I can’t bear it if I lose my son as well.” She released herself from his embrace and nodded. “Don’t worry, brother. I will fix everything I was left behind.

“SISTER MARIA!” Editha said as she hugged tightly the nun she considered her real mother. Sister Maria hugged her back. “Oh! Thank God! You’ve finally come! I have waited so long for your visit.” Editha let go of the hug. “I’m sorry, there’s so much happened in the past years. The nun smiled as she looked next at Meredith. “Is she your daughter?” Editha nodded and introduced her only child. “Hi, Sister Maria. Glad to see you,” Meredith said as she took Sister Maria’s right hand and gently struck it to her forehead as a show of respect of every young Filipino for the elderly.” “It was nice to finally meet you, Meredith. You grew up beautifully. You look exactly like your mother,” she complimented. She looked at her mother for a moment then thanked her. “Let’s go inside. I’m sure the other nuns would be pleased to meet you as well.” They were then escorted inside the orphanage. “Was it you, Mom?” Meredith inquired as Sister Maria gave her a photo of her mother when she was young

Don’t tell me you’ve moved out of your condo?” Meredith asked Randall when he took her to an unfamiliar condo.But Meredith’s guess was wrong. That unit is the place where Barbara and Clayton’s dark past happened.“Don’t you remember this place?” he asked back.She looked throughout the entire condo. “Y-yeah. This place is quite familiar to me, but how did you know that this was the place?” He held both of her hands. “I told you before that I know the whole truth, didn't I?”She nodded. “However, I also told you that it doesn’t matter what happened in the past if we know it will only affect our marriage.”Randall closed his eyes. “But my conscience won’t let me sleep anymore!

I’m just turning the favor because I realized that I haven’t given him a single one yet.”“As far as I remember, there’s still five months until his birthday.”“I know! But that’s not the case.

I told him not to tell anyone about what was happening to me that day.” She frowned. “What do you mean?” “First and foremost, I don’t want you to think that I met you today because he requested me to. I’m here in front of you because I don’t want you to mistrust him solely because of me, therefore I’d want to share my side because it saddens me as well every time I see him sad.” She nodded, indicating that she was ready to listen. “I called him that day because my boyfriend and I had fought,” she explained. “Phoon
