Krist's POV

Somehow everything is back to normal. If my schedule allows me I always go to old house so that I can play with Mint, P'singto would always go with me as well. He always make sure to give time to me. I also invited my friends to come over so that my mom can meet them. I also brought star so he can play with mint.

"Sawadee krap" my friends and P'Singto's friend said in unison.

My mother greeted them. Then we introduce Fah and Mint.

"Wow, Krist he really does look like you" Off said

"Of course. He is my nephew."

"Uncle Krist, I think your friend is a little. Uhmmm st- ah slow"

"555+ you got that right."

"Aww this kid is really smart to notice how slow Off is" Gunsmile said.

Everyone laugh at what happened and we gathered in the garden so we can have our barbeque. My mom is talking with P'Fluke about my internship and good thing that I didn't do anything wrong so my mom can be proud of what I am doing now. Fah is the one assigned to cook, P'Singto is helping her so we can start eating dinner while I play with Mint and star, but while playing I notice something different with Mint.

"Mint?"

"Yes Uncle?"

"Aren't you happy to meet my friends and Uncle Singto's Friend. Or how about Star?"

"I am really happy Uncle. It's just that I miss my father. I don't know where he is and I know that although my mom looks ok. She always cry at night looking at papa's picture."

I couldn't help but hug him, since he was about to cry.

"If you want I can be your papa for now. I look like him right?"

"But it's still different"

"I know but I will be just your substitute dad while we look for your papa ok?"
"Ok."

"Are you still not satisfied?"

"I worry about mom. I can have a second daddy but how about mom"

"I'm sorry about that. Don't worry I will look after her, but I can't be a replacement for your papa for your mom. You see I have someone else I like."

"I know. It is uncle Singto right?"

"What a smart kid you are"

"But Uncle can you promise me one thing?"

"What is it?"

"Please help mama be ok."

"I will. Uncle Singto and I would help her be ok. Look Uncle Singto is also helping your mom cook"

"Thank you Uncle"

"Mint what does your dad usually call you?"

"He calls me baby mint. I didn't like it before since I am a big boy already, but now I miss how he calls me that"

"Then from now on, I would call you baby mint ok ba?

"Thank you uncle!! Can I also call you papa?"

"Thank you uncle!! Can I also call you papa?"
