Chapter 28

4 years later

Saint was in the graveyard kneeling in front of a grave. He was talking to the grave.

"Today I graduated from the university. Did I fulfill your wish?? Are you proud of me?? Or.. or... Did I disappoint you??" He whispered the last sentence.

"Hey you didn't disappoint him" came a voice from the back leaving Saint shocked.
"Uncle Sai??"
"Yes... I know him that much to claim that he isn't disappointed in you Saint... I'm sure he is proud of you"
"Really??"
"Yes Saint really"
A tear ran down his cheek.
"Hey Saint don't cry... You know that you're starting the new phase of your life today. Don't be sad."
Saint nod and wiped the tear.
"So are you ready, my boy??"
"Yes"
"Ok then let's go"

Sai drove Saint to a high-rise building. Saint quickly adjusted his mood and get off the car with a smile on his face. Many employees greeted Saint and Saint just nod his head with a smile towards them. He went to the topmost floor and entered into the empty cabin. He looked around the cabin to see a photo of Zee and him together above the desk. He took the photo frame and stared at it reminiscing their happy past together.
"Sir Saint, do you need something??" Came the voice of the secretary from behind him.
"No I'll call you if I need something. Thank you"

Saint sat on the chair with the photo in his hand. Suddenly the door opened revealing the person he was waiting for.
"I'm sorry I'm late"
"It's completely fine. I came not long ago."
"How was your visit to the graveyard??"
"Fine I guess"
"I'm sorry I couldn't visit p'tor and p'hwa with you"
Saint stand up and hugged the man.
"It's ok daddy. I know you are really busy. Honestly though I don't have much memory of them, I am feeling much lighter after talking with them"
"That's the bond between parents and children. So are you ready to get your graduation gift??"
"What gift??" Saint asked confused.
"You'll see when we go there. Let's go??"
Zee hold out his hand which Saint gladly accepted. Zee blindfolded Saint as soon as he got inside the car.
"Daddy??"
"Yes??"
"What's the blindfold for?"
"Surprise baby"
"You know how much I hate surprises" pouted Saint as curiosity was killing him.
"I'm sure you would love it baby"
"It better be like that."
"Yes yes my prince"

Don't know after how long the car stopped. Saint was getting impatient and questioning zee again and again. But Zee said nothing except surprise. So when the car stopped Saint sighed in relief and went to open the blindfold.
"No no baby boy not now"
Saint felt Zee opened his car door and get off the car. Then he opened saint's door and held his hand.
"Now slowly get down. Don't worry I'll support you like always."
Saint smiled and didn't question anymore as he trusts zee a lot. After some time he felt Zee stopped walking.
"Now I'm going to get your surprise. Count slowly till 10 and then open the blindfold. Okay, baby boy??"
"Hmm fine"

After counting till 10 Saint opened the blindfold and looked around only to see no sign of Zee. But when he looked down he was astonished.
