Bound By A Red Thread THREAD FORTY-FOUR: CONNECTION
A WEEK later Randall got a phone call from Eilyas.“Is there any update?” he asked as he answered the call.“I have all the information you need right now.”He closes his eyes for a moment. Can he accept whatever the result is? What if it leads to a misunderstanding between him and Meredith?“Dude, are you still there?”He came back to his senses when he heard his friend’s voice.He swallowed the lump in his throat. “Yeah! Let’s meet at our old hang-out place. “Okay,” Eilyas responded before hanging up the call.“DUDE, I think you and Meredith are really the reincarnated souls of Clayton and Barbara.”“H-how did that happen?”Eilyas handed him the brown envelope. “Everything you need to know is inside that envelope.” When Randall opened it, the first thing that caught his eyes was a ripped and old photo of a girl sitting on the sofa. Barbara.That’s the woman he sees in his dreams. Behind that, he could clearly see the bed that he thought was in a room or condo where that photo was

WHEN Randall arrived at his condo, he immediately hugged his wife. He could no longer hide his tears and sobs. He was very afraid that if he let go of her, she would also disappear. And he didn’t want them to end up like Barbara and Clayton.“Randall, w-what’s going on? Why are you crying?” Meredith asked after breaking their hugs.“I-I already know the reason why Clayton and Barbara keep appearing in our dreams. Clayton is—”“Shhh. . .” She stopped what he wanted to say.She held both of his cheeks and gently wiped away his tears. “You don’t have to tell me if you can’t.”“But—”“If I find out about Barbara and Clayton’s history, will it change our lives?” she asked. “Randall, if you think your findings are going to hurt both of us, maybe it’s better if we just forget all about it,” she added when she didn’t get any response from him.He was stunned for a moment. Surely the relationship between the two of them will be destroyed. And that is something he does not want to happen. Tha

“WHO told you to tamper with my other stuff, huh? I told you to get my wallet only,” Meredith’s mother yelled angrily as she stormed into the room, hastily grabbing the photo and placing it back in the box.”“I-it fell while I was searching for your wallet, mom. I had no intention of tampering with your other stuff.“But you still shouldn’t tamper with things that aren’t yours! Get out of my room now and buy what I’m asking you to buy!” Mrs. Ebelte said, tremblingly returning the contents of the box.“Mom, are you okay? You’re shaking.”“I said get out of my room, now!”Meredith just did what her mother wanted and didn’t ask anymore about what she saw. She couldn’t understand why her mother suddenly reacted like that. Who’s the man in the photo and the baby he was holding?A few hours later, Meredith returned to their shop and didn’t talk to her mother. She was afraid of being yelled at again. Until her mother approached her. “I-I’m sorry if I yelled at you earlier. I-I didn’t mean t

“W-WHAT did you say?” Mrs. Briones asked.“Randall!” Ranier interfere.The Abuela looked at her son as if he was the one to blame why Randall found out about Barbara.“Did Dad tell you anything about her?” he asked.Randall shook his head. “No one told me about her.”Ranier and Mrs. Briones looked at each other, perplexed by what was going on.He knelt in front of his Abuela and held her hand. “I’m sorry!"The old lady frowned. “W-why are you apologizing, grandson?”“Barbara died because of me. . .”“Grandson. . . what are you saying I-I don’t get you.”He closed his eyes, causing all of his tears to fall. Randall couldn’t understand himself at the moment, either. He no longer appears to be the one speaking. “Because of my fear, she was able to take her own life—”“Randall! This is not the right time for you to make up stories,” Ranier retorted fiercely.“No, Dad! I’m not creating a story! Everything that happened to Barbara and Clayton was witnessed by me!” he said, surprising his fa

“THIS place. . . It seems familiar to me.” Meredith said when Randall took her to a park where Christmas Lantern was now being held.Every year, that place is opened for families that want to spend Christmas together. And she had never been there before.'Barbara and Clayton used to go there on Christmas day,’ Randall wanted to voice out but he didn’t.“Did you like it?” he asked instead.“Of course! I like this place! It’s so beautiful!”“Like you,” he added.She narrowed her eyes at him. “Are you collecting our debt that’s why you’re flattering me so much?”“Debt? I don’t recall you owing me anything.” “Hey! I’m not joking around here.”“Are we going to fight over that matter again?”“But—”“Fine! If that makes you feel better, then just pay the interest so you don’t have to worry about it anymore.”She turned to face him right away. “Interest? I thought you weren’t going to charge us interest on our debt?”“I’m sorry to inform you, but I’ve changed my mind.”She folded her arms. “

“STILL busy with your training?” John Person’s father asked when he arrived at their house.He tiredly dropped his body on the sofa. “Yeah! We need to maintain our title that’s why we need to work harder because we’ve heard that our opponent swims like a sailfish.”Sailfish are considered the fastest fish in the ocean.“Are you sure you can compete?”“Why? Have you lost faith in me, dad?” he joked.His father shook his head. “Well, I’m a little bit guilty because you’re still studying yet I trained you right away in running our company.As a swimmer, one of the things they need to consider is their health. Particularly, proper sleep. Adequate rest improves the body’s reflexes.And for him, it’s really hard to sleep when your heart is at war with your mind.“Are you worried about me, thinking of her all the time?” he asked.“Of course, I will! You’re my only son, remember? My sole heir. Especially now that your memories have returned.”“My mind and heart are at odds. My heart tells me

“CONGRATULATIONS!” Meredith happily congratulated Randall when the BSU Swimming Team won the championship before the end of the year.The Championship was also held at BSU because it has the largest Swimming Pool among all the Universities in the country.Randall released himself from the hug to kiss Meredith on her forehead. “Thank you! I wouldn’t have won if it wasn’t for my lucky charm.”She frowned. “Lucky charm? What lucky charm is that?”He put his arm around her waist. “It’s not what, it’s who!”She narrowed her eyes at him. “Who is it then?”“Seriously?! Who else could be my lucky charm? Of course, you!”She flushed and couldn’t help but smile because he only meant one thing: she was his inspiration for winning the competition.“Help!” That scream drew their attention from the deep pool.“Shanaia!” Meredith shrieked when she saw Shanaia drowning.Randall was about to jump when his Captain got ahead of him.Meredith’s chest was filled with fear and trepidation as she saw her fr

“THIS will be your room. I hope you’ll like it,” John Person said when they reached Shanaia’s room in their own house.They went straight to the house their parents bought for them after they started dating. They should get married first before living there, but they decided to live there ahead of time. “Of course, I like it! Who wouldn’t be if all I can see is my favorite color?” she answered and sat on the soft bed.John Person smiled. “Well, that’s good to hear! My room is right across from yours, so if you need anything, just say so, okay?”“Okay!”Since they are not married yet, their rooms will be separate for the time being. There are three rooms in the house, but the master bedroom is locked. They will use it when they are married. He was about to leave her room when Shanaia asked something. “Hey! Why is the pool empty?”Shanaia is currently looking out the window and she could see the pool from there.”“I decided to remove it after your drowning incident.”“What?! But, why?
