The maids started to bend down, more like bowing and there's a middle-aged man who went to the scene with 3 guys following him behind. My hand slowly left Hunter's neck and turn to him. His smile grew wider after his eyes landed on me.
I bet he's my father?
"Alexandria," he called. I run to him, not minding the people fall in line on either side of our way, and hug him tightly. My heart starts to fill with tears as my heart keeps on beating fast by just hearing him calling my name. It feels so sweet and warm.
"Dad." This is the overwhelming part that happened in my life. "Dad," I keep on calling. He also hugs me, the tears keep on falling. I don't know why maybe because the blood flows in our vein reunite? What? Am I weird?
I always feel my father, Benedict's hug, but when I left my hometown. It's already a month passed. I cried maybe because we have the same blood running through our veins and the excitement over me.
We pulled the hug and look at each other. We shared eyes and lips. He smiles widely, "My daughter, it's been a while since I hug you. How's life? Is it been tough? I'm so sorry for leaving you behind. I am so so dumb for being so afraid of you might grow a bad person when you're with me."
"No dad," I said, shaking my head. Tears burst out from his eyes after hearing my words. "I missed you.."
"I always missing you," he said. He kissed my cheeks. "Let's go inside? Let's have a little talk?" I nod my head. I look behind me to see Hunter smiling at me and made his way inside his car with a slight pain visible in his eyes.
Dad stops after noticing me looking back, he followed my gaze and looks at the car speeding his way out. My heart crashed after his car vanished in my sight. I felt like I wasn't in my home..?
"Who's that? Is that your boyfriend?" I look at him and shrug my shoulder.
"I don't know." I gave him my sad smile and went inside with him. Will dad really will send me to the states to study business? Will I leave Hunter behind?
"I guess Benedict and Jessica raise you very well." He gave me a sweet smile and nod. "And I know I don't have the right to go in your life but I and my friend made a plan."
I shook my head. Maybe if I and Hunter are destined, one another will find a way for their love to meet again, right? "You're my father, how could you said you don't have the right to decide in my life? You made me, you went a lot through with me." He then hugged me.
"But it seems like you can't take it because before you could see the world, I and your mother decided after knowing our friend is also carrying a child. We agreed that if their child is boy and ours are girl we will make them married to each other.."
"I do not agree to this but your mom courage me and I said yes. I can't do anything to break that agreement now, knowing you might don't want to see me again after what I did but his mother is stubborn that she's full and want to continue the agreement."
But.. But.. I want to reject also. What will happen to Hunter when we're both falling for each other now? And ready to enter a relationship? How about our intimate moments? I lost my first kiss to him, which means I should end up with him. Am I right? Your first kiss will be your lifetime partner, they said.
I let a heavy sigh, I don't know how to react. I want to agree and I want to reject. "And I think you both entered the same university and course... I heard he's an author and also managing a residence with his father."
I chuckled nervously. "I don't know, father. I meet many guys in school back then," he chuckled also.
"It's okay." There's a silence that came before dad decided to break it. "I heard from him he's an author now, the best selling book here in New York. I haven't talked to him since last year so I don't know what he's doing right now."
"Can I know his name, dad?"
"I'll not tell you his full name since he didn't want to let anyone know his identity and full name." I nod, "I give him a nickname HC." I sighed, my brows furrowed. Feels like I've heard that nickname or does it just sounds like HunterC19? Well, I don't know.
"And there's someone gave him Monkey as a nickname. Isn't that cute? He told me he wants his soon-to-be wife to call him that in the future but unfortunately, he has to go through a lot of things and neglect to be with his loved ones."
And this time, it's a lot of revelations. Monkey? I gave someone that nickname and for sure, it's only Hunter but could someone heard me and copy it or it's just a coincidence? Well, maybe. But dad nicknames him HC, which is very close to Hunter's username, my favorite author, HunterC19, and Hunter's name; Hunter Clifford. Could it be—
"Dad, but I have someone in my heart. I've been feeling this way since I was in my last year of high school since now. Can I decline the marriage?" I ask, politely. I don't want to sound rude to reject.
To be continued.
