Bound By Love

Chapter 5

Hazel

It's sunday so we go to the park to spent some time, which is something Kieran started from when we moved to this house.

Mili looked more happy than usual today. It's been a while that Mili been excited for something. Hm... I wonder why?...

We were walking through the park, suddenly Mili jumps up and down startling me and run away leaving my hands.

I started to run after her. But befor I can pick up my speed I saw the stranger from that day at the park running toward her as well.

What was her name again?...

She was smiling ear to ear upon seeing my daughter. They clash into a hug as Mili jumped into her arms as they meet and kisses each other befor walking towards me with Mili in her hands.

So... that's why she was so pumped today...

But they only knew each other from only the other day, talked for maybe like one hour.

How come they became this close. This scene is like seeing your beloved ones after a long time.

If a outside was to comment on the scene unfolding righ in front of me would be like..'Aw you and your daughter are so cute..'

Like whaaat?....

But hey, even i would be like that, it just flipped something inside me.

And these are just causing some buried feeling in me to surface again...

She's wearing workout clothes, grey pants and navi blue cut tank top showing those biceps and sholder mussels.

'What?!... what is happening to me, stop Hazel what is wrong with you?? stop checking her out'...

While I was in my jeggins and a hoodie.

When they reached me we said 'hi' and properly introduced ourselves.

That smile again and those eyes...there is just something about her make me disturbed but not in a bad way...

We walked around, Mili demanded she

wants to be carried on the back of Nish, to which I was about to deny, but befor I could say anything Nish took her on her back with a smile and I smiled to it too.

She feels like family. Mili is completely comfortable around her ordering her and playing with her, which she also seems to be enjoying.

We finally decided to sit down a bit befor returning home.

We sat on a bunch and Mili jumped to Nish's lap and snuggled up to her which she seemed to love actually.

We talked for a little while causally, worth while Mili fell asleep on Nish's embrace. My little girl seemed so peaceful and comfortable.

Then the talk tuned about ourselves I told her my story, I don't know... the words come out easily, it felt safe to tell her everything.

She also told me she isn't a she actually and is a they/ them that she is a non-binary person.

Even though I'm a part of l***q+ community I didn't exactly knew what that ment, so she explain to me that it means "They don't feel like a particular gender like female or male they feel like they are in border not falling into either side but having some of both gender characteristics yet feels nutral at the same time. They also preferred to be called by gender neutral terms", but different people have different approaches. Everyones perspective is differ, so they may have their version of definition for it. However she don't mind being called anything. She don't care much about pronounce.

She narrowed down her story in like five minutes, like someone reading a bulletin, important stuffs.

She seemed rather uncomfortable talking about her past. I could see pain in her eyes.

She talked about freeing herself to her real self, how she got top surgery nd stuff... but there is pain evident in her eyes, I didn't push it either.

We end up talking for some time. It was already nearing noon but it's sunday so eh.....

Mili have been sleeping soundly on her this whole time. I think the walking and playing got her tired or her warmth kept her comfortable.

Anyhow we finally decided to go home after hours.

I invited her over for lunch. She insisted on carrying Mili home since she's sound asleep like an angel.
