'You've just talked to him Peng! Stop being a jerk and finish your lunch.' Off was fade up with me today.

I put down the phone reluctantly and put a spoonful of rice in my mouth.

'Ah ah don't scold him. My son is in love after all. Who wouldn't feel sad after being apart from his lover for........ 3 long hours huh?'

'Dad! Stop making fun of me!'

'What! Making fun of you! No no! I am sincere! Off? Am I not sincere?'

'Yes uncle. Of course.' That basterd was laughing out loud.

'I am leaving.'

'Okay okay. We will stop bothering you. Finish your food.' Dad patted my hand and really stopped joking around.

'So what should I do next?'

'Don't worry too much from now on. I am going to talk to My friends who are associated with this field and we will find out a solution. If anything I will personally visit them one by one.'

'Dad! Thank you so much.'

'New is a good boy. I like him very much so stop saying thank you. After all he is also my soon to be son in law.'

'Dad!'

'What? Go to the USA after he recovers and marry him. A boy like him........ Very hard to find.'

'Very true. I've personally known him only for 7 or 8 months and I think he is great. He also has a strong mind or else he couldn't survive the ordeal.' Off was talking about Hin very warmly.

'I really like his courage. And I want to meet my grandson too. Sometimes I think to myself that how lucky I am to be a granddad in such a young age!'

'You are hilarious old man!' I squinted my eyes and said.

They laughed at this remark. Dad is the most supportive person of my life. Even better than my mom. We only had a fall out when Hin disappeared three years ago and I started to live my life like a vagabond. He did everything in his power to pull me from my personal hell. I hated him that time. I hated him for sending me to Austria. But later I realized he was looking for Hin all this time. We reconciled after I found out about Hin through Off. My dad was very helpful at that rough time.

On the other hand my mom is a timid person who doesn't like to voice her likes and dislikes. So sometimes it seems heartless but I know she loves me very much. When Hin and I was in uni mom used to send home made cakes for him. It was her own way to say that she likes him. She is staying with my aged grandma right now.

'Do his parents know about him and his current situation?'

'Not yet.'

'What are you waiting for? They are suffering from this pain for a long time. Please put an end to it.'

'Hin said he will meet them soon. I think in his mind he was thinking all this time to not cause any more pain for them because of his illness. But now that there is a cure he is ready to finally meet them.'

'He is a very thoughtful person.'

'A bit too thoughtful. He always put everyone else's comfort and wellbeing before his own.' I grunted.

'Peng is right. New is too selfless. He always suffer alone because of this habit.'

'Not anymore. I won't allow it. Now he has to put himself at front and centre.'

'Good good. Now that everything is settled let's put our plan in action. Tay, you take good care of New and Troy and Off you helped the team with the resort project. I'll take care of that medicine crisis. Give me one week.'

'I love you dad.'

'Don't worry, everything will be alright.'

After exiting the house I took out my phone to call my baby.

'You are actually acting like a lovesick puppy. Lost without it's owner.'

'Shut up. Do I say you anything when you talk to your boyfriend?'

'Fine fine.' He patted my shoulder.

'By the way, how is Gun?'

'He is as feisty as ever.'

'He is the right person for you.'

'I know that.'

'He is maintaining this long distance relationship without any objection for such a long time. Hats off to him.'

'It's hard but doable. He is a busy person with all those restaurant franchises going on.'

'Self made person..... I like him very much.'

'Ah ah go ahead and like your Hin. Stop praising my man.'

'Jealous much?'

'Gun is so cute! I have to be on high alert all the time.'

'Oh god!'

'Shut up! It's not like I get jealous over little things like you! Did you forget how much wound up you used to get whenever you saw New and Earth together!'

'Stop talking about that asshole.'

'I was just saying. Don't get hyper.'

'I just can't bear to hear his name. I hate him so much. I don't say this in front of Hin but if I see him again I will definitely going to kill him.'

'Don't worry he won't show up again. I talked to the law firm. They has already sent him the notice along with the documents.'

'Really? And what was his reply?'

'Didn't reply yet. We are going to wait for three more days and then will take action.'

On behalf of New my lawyer sent that asshole a legal notice. I wanted to put him in jail but dad and Off said I need to focus on Troy.

So in that notice we demanded Troy's full guardianship in exchange of letting go of the matter that he forged documents and created a fake identity for Hin. I know it's not at all satisfying but it's only way to keep Troy in our side. That boy is a part of Hin's heart. I won't risk to hurt that part at any cost.

He will also be my son. I am going to apply along with Hin. I am really excited to become a father.

Hmmm..... I need to marry Hin as soon as possible. How should I propose him? I need to think of a unique way because my baby deserves the best.

Ahhhh! I am missing him so badly. I called his number and waited eagerly to hear his voice.

Pick up Hin....
