"Pe... Pete?"

"Pete?" Kao's mother, Lyla and Pete's father, Tony called out when they saw Tay.

They run toward Tay and hug him. Tony hold Tay face and kiss at his forehead. Lyla is crying in Tay's chest. Tony took out a note from his wallet and give it to him, " You think this is enough for you to leave me, huh? Don't you think anything for me and her?" He said as he points at Lyla. Unknowingly a tear escaped from Tay's eye.

It's was the day when Pete and Kao suicide. Tony was attending the meeting, during the meeting, Tony suddenly felt sleepy and he take a wink which dreams of Pete jumping from a height. That dream startle him as he went home right after the meeting.

But when he reached home not even a single soul was there. When he was in his room he saw a letter. He smiles at his son silliness.

"How old are you, huh?" With a big smile, he opened the letter and start reading,

'Dad, I love you.

Are you returning from your office? How was your day? You must be tired, I make some delicious dishes for you. It's in the refrigerator, go and eat some before you read further...'

Tony smile happy with the thought of eating his son's dishes.

"Are you going to say that would lose my appetite? So you want me to eat fast... Hahh... It will be nice if you ask for marrying Kao." With that, he starts eating.

He starts reading the letter after finishing eating.

'How is it? Is it good? Good, right? I want you to eat many dishes but I don't know much about that. Dad always remember that I love you so much even more than Kao (don't tell Kao, okay?) I want to play naughty to you and I want to see you and sleep in your embrace like when I was a kid. And I want to take care of you when you are old enough but I don't think I can, Dad. Please forgive me...

When I was not there, be happy, take your medicine on time, don't overwork yourself. And try to marry...

I love Kao so much Dad that I choose him over you. Sorry, Dad for being a useless child. But I couldn't help but think of it this way. Please forgive me, Dad...

I love you so much...

                                                 -Pete '

Tony run from room to room looking for their only son but not avail. With a dejected face, he entered his and saw his drawers are unlocked. When he opened it, he saw it was missing. The poison he keep which he tried to drink much time when he lost his wife.

After a short while, June calls him and inform the news of Pete and Kao dead. When he rushed to the site it was too late for him to save his son. All he saw was the lifeless body of his son.

"Pete! Pete...Don't you know me? It's me your father" Tony said as he shake the shocking Tay.

"Dad... I already know it's you. But I am no longer your son, I'm already ..."

"No!! Who said that? You are still my son..." Tony shouted as he shakes Tay, "Look... Kao is there too, you both are back to us" He continues as he points at New who stood dumbfounded with puffy eyes.

"Dad, I...." Tay tries to speak but New interrupted again.

"What? Kao... Is it my name? P'Tay, is it really my name? Mama? Papa?" He looks at his father and mother but they both look down without answering.

"Then it's all real, it's not a dream... Then Non, he... He also really exists... P'Tay is Pete?" The tear that already stops fall again as he looks at Lyla," Then Grandma Lyla is my mother... No, it can't be... It's not right... It's just a dream..."
