Unexpected Beginnings (TayNew)

part ⭐ 28

They all go to play in the garden. Win asks, "P'Tay, when will you bring Nanon again?"

Tay, smiling, replies, "If you want to meet him, you can go to his house, right Nanon?"

Nanon, excitedly, says, "Yes, Uncle, you can come to my house! We can play together there. Papa and Uncle always work; they don't have much time to play with me," he pouts.

Win laughs, "Then I have to go there more often to play with Nanon."

Nanon, grinning, turns to New, "Papa, can Uncle come to our house more often?"

New nods, and Nanon exclaims, "Yes!" with a big smile before running off to play football. New and Tay watch him, smiling lovingly.

As evening comes, Tay says, "Mom, we will go now. We can visit next week."

Tay's mom, looking stern, says, "No, today you all are not allowed to go. Stay here tonight; I will cook dinner."

Tay, trying to find an excuse, says, "But Mom, I really have to go today. I have some important work."

New thinks, "Important work, my foot. He just wants to go tell my mom." He shakes his head.

Tay's mom looks at New, "New, do you have any work today?"

New, honestly, replies, "No, I have no work today."

Tay's mom, satisfied, says, "Then he has no work, so you don't have to go."

Tay protests, "What? He doesn’t have work, but I do!"

Tay's mom dismisses his concern, "It doesn't matter. After dinner, we will watch a movie. Win, take Nanon with you and play with him."

Win eagerly agrees, "Absolutely, I have no problem."

Tay tries to bargain, "You all can watch a movie. Nanon and I can play a game."

Nanon, confused, asks, "Why can't I watch a movie with you all?"

New looks at him, and Nanon pouts, "Okay, I wouldn't watch movie. Uncle Win, we can play in your room. You have so many games."

Win, cheerfully, says, "Yes, Nanon, do you like drawing?"

Nanon nods enthusiastically.

Win continues, "Then we will draw there. Don't be sad; the movie will be boring. We will play games, draw, and do so many fun things."

Nanon, smiling, says, "Okay!"

Tay, feeling left out, asks sadly, "Can I join you guys?"

Win laughs, "No, you watch the movie with the family, right Nanon?"

Nanon nods, making Tay feel even more left out. "Really, you forget me so easily after meeting him?" Tay jokes.

Nanon says, "Uncle is so much fun to play with."

Tay, pretending to be hurt, says, "Oh really?"

Nanon nods again.

Tay teases, "Okay then, when he’s not around, I’ll see who you play with."

Nanon reassures him, "Dad, don’t get sad. I can play with you next time."

Hearing Nanon call him "Dad," Tay stares at him with a sweet smile. "What did you call me, Nanon?"

Nanon innocently replies, "Dad. I have to call you that after you marry my Papa, so I'm practicing from now on."

Tay's eyes get watery, hearing his son finally call him Dad. He stares at Nanon so sweetly, a little smile on his face.
