Dad...dy

Chapter 6

[Baby Saint in the media]

"Whattt??"
Zee's parents and Sai were really shocked.
"Son you're only 19 and you have your studies... Besides you don't have any experience of handling kids... You don't even like them..."
"I have to mom.. I've promised his mom"
"Son I understand that Saint now has noone. But you... We can look after Saint."
"No mom... I personally wanna take care of Saint. I can handle both my studies and Saint."
"You told Saint to call you dad??" Asked Sai.
"Yes.. I'm gonna be his parent from now on."
Though Zee's mom didn't fully agree with the decision, she compromised as Zee will live with them from now on.

Zee really adopted Saint and raised him like his own child. When he went to college his mom took care of Saint. Zee did many part-time jobs and also his parents support him to take care of Saint. Zee admitted Saint into a renowned kindergarten after a year. Saint was an obedient and understanding child. He never bothered Zee very much and also loved him a lot.
After Zee graduated he joined his family business and moved out from his parents' house with Saint. Though his parents always nagged him to get married, Zee never thought about it as he was afraid Saint would be mistreated.

After six years

Today is Saint's thirteenth birthday. As usual Zee came sneakily in Saint's room at 12 am to wish him. Saint was sleeping soundly. Zee kept his hand on Saint's head. He stared at Saint and got lost in thoughts.
He sighed and thought-
Why do you look more and more like your dad as you grew up?? Now you look exactly like p'Tor when I first met him. Is it God's way to return p'Tor to me?? No no... What am I thinking?? He isn't my p'Tor, he is Saint, p'Tor and p'Hwa's son. And now my son too. I'll give him the whole world. I'm sure if his parents were alive they would also give him the whole world. Besides he is the last sign of p'Tor. I would cherish him like the precious he is.

Then Zee whispered to Saint, "happy birthday precious. I will even give you the moon if you want. You just have to ask me for anything. I'm sorry that you don't get love of your parents. I'm sure you remember how much they loved you. I can't return them to you but I promise I won't give you a chance to miss them."
Zee's voice broke at the end and a tear rolled down unknown to him. He wiped his tears with the back of his hand, kissed saint's forehead and quietly left the room.

After the door of Saint's room closed, Saint opened his eyes. Actually he woke up as soon as Zee touched his head. But he pretended to sleep as he didn't want to embarrass Zee and wanted to let him vent his feelings. He knew if Zee knew he was awake Zee would never say those words. Zee is just like that, an introvert who liked to hide true feelings.
Saint whispered, "I know dad how much you love me. Don't worry your love is enough for me. You always say that everything happens for good, maybe the good thing of my parents death is I got you. Thank you for everything dad."

Though Zee loved Saint a lot, he never wanted Saint to forget his parents. So Zee always told Saint how wonderful of persons his parents were. Saint loves them and misses them sometimes but he is really happy with Zee.

Five more years later (Saint turned 18)

Saint's p.o.v.

I've turned 18 last night. As usual dad came to wish me sneakily and I pretended to sleep like the last five years. Cause that's the only time I can hear his true feelings. How much he misses my parents and how much he loves me. And every time he pours his feelings like that, my feelings for him grows more.
Yes you have heard it right. I've feelings for my dad. Not like the feeling a son should have for his father, more like a feelings one has for one's lover. He is not my real dad anyway. We don't have any blood relation so it's not a sin. And you guys say who wouldn't fall for that hot, caring and loving guy like him??
I realized my feelings for him is not normal when I was 15. Yes I love him for 3 years and my feelings grow more everyday. But I don't have courage to confess to him. I didn't wanna lose him. But now I turn to an adult. I will confess to him no matter what.
Yes I plan to confess him today as a gift for my birthday. I'm planning for this evening like for a month. I'm eagerly waiting for the evening and for him to return from his office.

Zee's p.o.v.

I plan to meet with Sai today to plan a birthday surprise for Saint. Sai is the best person for this. We met for lunch and now we're discussing about it.
"What do you plan to do next?" Asked Sai.
"How about a party in the XXX restaurant and call all of Saint's classmates?? After all it's his eighteenth birthday and should be special."
"I'm not talking about it."
"Huh? Then??" I asked getting confused.
"Saint already turned 18. He is an adult now. What about your future? Your parents always want you to marry and get settled. You used Saint as an excuse all these years but as Saint grew up you have to think about yourself. You also need someone. Or do you still love p'Tor??"
I sighed.
"I really don't know Sai. I didn't think about anything else other than Saint all these years. Not even about p'Tor."
"But..."
"Leave that topic now Sai. We need to prepare for saint's birthday surprise."
"Ok"

How do I tell Sai that Saint always reminds me of p'Tor but in a different way?? I get the same feeling of closeness and calmness with Saint like I used to get with p'Tor. No I get much more home like feeling with Saint. But I can't say it to anyone. I even don't wanna think about it myself. It's wrong. Saint is only my son and nothing else. Yes he is my son that's why he  gives me the feeling of home. But sometimes his behaviour.. no no it's my misconception. We are father and son and that's it.

[Hi guys... Here is another update. I just wanna focus on Zee and Saint relation from now on so I skipped the years. I'm sorry for that. And what do you guys think Saint will do in the evening?? What will be Zee's reaction??
Keep supporting naaa 😊 I love you all 💕 💕]
