Chapter 23. The Big Day

The Big Day

"Dada i want to talk to you". Jagger approached Mew who was sitting in his room with Zee in his arms. Reading some book while watching TV. 

"Come buddy". He patted on the couch beside him. 

Jagger looked at him. He was as graceful as ever. Even in his early fourties. His eyes still warm and full of love for him. He scooted near Mew who opened his arms to lean on his chest, like Jagger always did. Zee was looking at them smiling. The silence was comfortable. Mew was racking his fingers in Jagger's hair waiting for him to speak. But his fingers were halted when he felt his shirt getting wet where Jagger had pressed his cheeks. 

"What happened Jagger". He softly asked him. But all he could hear was silent sobs. He mouthed Zee to call Tae and Gulf. It was something serious. Jagger usually doesnt cry. 

"Jagg. Baby what is it. You are scaring me". Mew asked him. He was getting worried. 

"Dada..". 

"Yes Love".

"I love you Dada. Thank you". He said in between sobs confusing Mew even more.

"I love you too Jagg. But whats the matter boy"? Mew gently pulled him to wipe his tears only to be followed by a fresh trail. 

"Thank you Dada for everything". 

"Jagger. Look at me. Am your Dad. I am suppose to provide you with everything. It is my responsibility and my own choice. I love to provide for you baby. Why to be thanked"? Mew cupped his cheeks. 

Jagg held his hands in between his own before looking at his Dad. 

"This is exactly why am thanking you Dada". Mew was even more confused. He was frowning slightly. He was never good at taking hints. Everyone was looking at the Father Son interaction. 

"Dada. I dont know who i was. All i know is i am Jagger. You son". He leaned into the warm hands of his dad shedding more tears. He could feel Mew tensed up. Well everyone was. Shocked to say the least.

"Jagger".

"Dada. This Sunday is my big day. All because of you. Today i want to talk to you guys. Its been a while that i know am adopted. Not that its a mystery anyway. You and Daddy, you both are males, and there is no way you can pop me out. And you have never come across any girl i know. I dont know who are my parents and what lead you to have me, i dont want to know. For me its you and Daddy and my family. 

You never let me feel out of place. Never spoiled me. Never mistreated me. Am sure i am in the best shape than i would be with my real parents. You fulfilled all my wishes. Be it toys or my study and the biggest, you gave me Mills. I can never thank you enough Dada". Jagger wiped his tears before smiling at his Dada. 

"You are still a cry baby Dada". He wiped his tears with his thumbs. 

Mew held his hand before kissing them softly. 

"Jagger. You are my son. Just mine. Say me selfish or scared, i could never tell you about your parents. But i can only tell that they meant no bad for you Jagg. No parents can ever think bad for their child. You came into our life, and completed us. Me and your Daddy could never wish for anything else. You are the best son anyone could wish for. 

We had never thought if having one, never thought of any possibilities to have one. But then we got you. And the only thing everyone including me, scared me was to lose you. There was a moment when your Uncle Tae was worried about how attached i am to you. What if someday you find about everything and demand for your parents? Not that we would have bound you. But it was your right. But i couldnt do it Jagg. I couldnt come up with any word to explain. So i chose to let it be. Until you ask me. And its even more worst. I still have no courage to tell you everything. But isnt it enough for us to be together that you are my son in every possible way. That no one can even trace you". Mew was looking at him with hopeful eyes.
