My Father! he asked to be sure and i nodded
What, I mean how did you get to know who my father is? he stared at me in surprise
I kind of figured it out. I shrugged my shoulders……… do you know anything about him?
Not really! but the doctor told me few things about him , he even told me his name
Which is?
Philip Noah . he informed and i smiled
Talk to me Chase , who is my father? Where did you know him? how does he look like?he asked rushingly
When we get there, you will know ….
Fine! he agreed
*
We walked out of the house and headed to the garage
Your car or mine? he asked
Mine . I replied
We both hopped into the car and I drove headed to the Noah’s home

Nick Delgado

I was silent throughout the drive to Philip ……or should I say my Father’s home
I was nervous about the whole thing
How will Philip react when he sees me , Will he accept me warmly? I wondered
My phone suddenly rang , it was a call from Andy and I banged it
Who was that? Chase asked glancing at me
Andy! I huffed
Then Why aren’t you receiving it? he asked
I don’t have any reason to. I retorted
Did you guys have an argument?he probed on
No, I just don’t want to have anything to do with the looser. I drawled and he smiled ……….
I am really sorry for everything. I apologised again
again! I thought we are gone past this . he smirked
I know, but I just feel my apology is not enough .you know after everything I did to you and …your girlfriend
It is alright Nick , I hold no grudge against you. he assured me
What of Candace , will she ever forgive me? I continued
you will get your answers soon. he drawled
What are you…..
We are already here! he announced and Parked in front of a small cottage house
Is this it? … I mean it looks like a store house ! I remarked staring at the cottage house
Behave Nick! this is your father’s house and not a store. he cautioned
Fine! I sighed
I am not just happy with what I am seeing
Then you can do something about it . he retorted
Of course I will. I bit my lips
We alighted from the car and walked towards the front door
Chase knocked on the door and it was soon opened up by a little boy
hi Chase! the boy greeted while staring at me
How are you Max? is everyone home?Chase asked and the boy nodded
I stared in surprise at both of them
If this is really my father’s home, how did Chase get to be so familiar with them?if ………..
Let’s go in Nick . Chase snapped me out of my thoughts
Oh! Okay! . I smiled at the boy who was still staring intently at me before walking in ……..

A man and a woman was seated in the sitting room
Could he be my father? I wondered
hi sir! hi ma! Chase greeted while I just stared on
How are you Chas……. the man stopped immediately his gaze met mine
he stood up and moved closer to me
hello sir, I am Nick Del…. he pulled me into a hug before I could finish introducing myself
My eyes widened in surprise
Nick… my son. he called as his whole body vibrated
Is his crying? I wondered
he disengaged from the hug and stared directly into my face ……
I am sorry for not reaching out to you first . he apologised
Philip! I called
Yes,I am Philip your father
I tried to talk but no sound came out …
he smiled
This is my wife Lucy. he said pointing to the woman
hi Nick! Welcome to the family . She smiled
Thanks. I bowed my head a little
And that is your little brother Max . he said pointing to the little boy who opened the door earlier on
hi Max! I greeted and he smirked
he stood up from the sofa where he was seated and walked towards me
Are you really my big brother? he asked
I guess I am
Then why did you make my sister cry? he frowned
Your sister? how did I make her cry? I asked softly
Are you really asking me that? she kept on beating her chest while calling your name
Enough of that Max! his mum cautioned
No mum , I want my big brother here to explain to me why he made our sister cry. he insisted
I smiled
Fine! I will explain but firstly , I need to know who your sister is
Of course, she goes to the music school and her name is………he stopped when the door to a smaller room creaked opened
Candy! he called looking towards the the direction of the room
I followed his gaze and stopped dead at who I saw
Candace! I called in disbelief
She just stared blankly at me
What is going on here , can someone please tell me what the hell is going on here? I yelled to no one in particular
Calm down son. My dad tried to hold me but I shifted back
Who is She to you? I asked pointing at Candy
he gave me a confused look
She is my daughter and also your sister. he informed
No it can’t be true , it can’t be true . I repeated shaking my head
Get a hold of yourself Nick, you are not fully recovered. Chase advised
No Chase , just tell me I am imagining things, just tell me this is not true . I fidgeted
he sighed
This is the truth brother, Candy is your sister
I shifted my gaze to her, her eyes was clouded with tears
What have I done? I greedily stole her first kiss and even planned to rape her ……
Damn! I cursed
I turned to go but Chase caught me by my arm
Just let me go please, I can’t bear to be here any longer. I pleaded
And where do you think you are going?do you think running away is the best thing. he scolded at me
I am not running, I just need…… I stopped when I felt someone tug at my cloth
I turned and met the gaze of Max
Where are you going to? Won’t you wait for dinner? he asked innocently
I am sorry but I need to………….
Pleaaaaaasssseee, don’t make all the preparations we did go to waste
Preparation? I asked
Yes , my mum prepared a delicious meal to welcome you
Meaning you were all aware of my coming? I asked and he nodded
Chase sent a message to inform us. my dad explained
So please son , spend some time with your family . he added
Oh! I looked at Chase and smiled
They are your family also, so please don’t run away from them. he said in whispers
I looked around the room and met Candy gaze
I gave her a small smile and she did the same ………..
