We're all a little weird, and life's a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."

"

Yah...look at him he is chewing a spoon now".... Zerikh shouted from the other end gaining Manik's attention who was baking something out of the world.

Manik looked over his shoulder glaring at Zerikh who was nothing but distraction at that particular time.

He signalled Zerikh to be quite while he focus back to his baking.

"Ahh...I don't understand your dad...he is a complete arsehole ...you should know this".... Zerikh talked to the baby who was looking at him back with his big brown eyes and laughing at his words.

"Well....now I can say you both are same".... Zerikh carried the baby on his arms to the outside the kitchen area of cafe which has few of it customers gossiping over their food.

Most of the customers of Manik and Zerikh cafe were teen girls .. They not only come because of good food but also for two handsome men being the owner of the cafe.

"Aww...so cute..."..

"He is so handsome"

"Zerikh look so husband material with the baby in his arms"

It wasn't the first time he had heard about this..it was so often that .. Zerikh and Manik have gotten used to it by now....and all they do in return is smile and walk away quietly.

Zerikh came out of the cafe welcome by the cool breeze playing around his face.

"Since you won't let go of this chammach (spoon) from your hand..then I am gonna name you something relatable to this"... Zerikh talked looking at the baby who was still chewing on the spoon.

"Um...what should I name you......ahh yes...how about Chimchim..."... Zerikh again looked at baby waiting for his confirmation as if he will say yes or no...but listening to this new name Zerikh gave him...baby smile and drop the spoon to the ground nodding his head making happy sound.

"Oh my my....so you like your new name....."... Zerikh kissed baby cheeks and then bend down to pick up the spoon from the ground.

After stuffing the spoon inside his jacket pocket he started talking with baby again.."okay Chimchim..shall we go for a walk now".

He had just started walking when he heard someone calling his name...literally shouting.

Looking back he found Manik rushing towards him..."yah...give my baby back".... Manik spoke taking Chimchim in to his arms.

"You go look after the shop...I will take him for a walk".... Manik said pushing Zerikh away by his free hand.

Zerikh made an annoying face and turned his heels towards the cafe after saying bye bye to chimchim.

.

"What did you said about his name?".... Manik asked Zerikh pointing at baby.

"Chimchim".... Zerikh grinned proudly at his choice.

"And why Chimchim?"....Manik who was playing with the baby's hair asked.

Zerikh groaned annoyingly at his friend who was nothing but being jerk..."I am not gonna repeat myself for the thousandth time Manik"

"Okay...okay..i got it....why are you getting angry".... Manik gave a nervous smile to his friend who was messing his hair by now.

"How am I not suppose to get angry dude....".... Zerikh stood up from his seat carrying his bag.

"Now let's go home..its getting dark".... Zerikh said walking out of the cafe.

"Okay"....Manik whispered back holding Chimchim with one hand and on other bag.

They didn't got any traffic on the road since it was friday night so reach home by 10.

Chimchim had already fallen asleep on Manik arms since Zerikh was driving this time.

Manik carried the baby to the house while Zerikh carried the bags.

Once they were inside after Manik carefully made Chimchim comfortable on the bed and checked that he is still sleeping...he came down to Zerikh who was doing some work on his laptop.

"Zerikh ....did Chimchim had his food?".... Manik asked plopping himself next to his friend.

"Yes....I made him eat some rice with lentils...and after that he also had his feeder... " Zerikh explained looking over his laptop to Manik.....who just hummed in response.

"What's bothering you Manik?"... Zerikh asked closing his laptop.

"Bro...I think Chimchim is a bit slow...I mean...he is already past 1 year and he still hasn't started to walk..or stand..while other children of his age are talking and walking already".... Manik said.

"Umm...i don't think there is too much to concern about...many children tends to be slow at this...like some starts to walk way before than other children while some take their time and start late.....and I think that's what..is happening with our Chimchim...we should give him some time ...and let's wait..." Zerikh placed his hand on Manik's shoulder trying to comfort him.

"Hmm...we should try tomorrow...let's see if he can walk..." Manik said getting all excited imaging Chimchim walking up to him with his small legs.

Zerikh too smiled looking at him completely feeling what Manik felt.

Isn't Chimchim the luckiest ..he got two loving father....so what if he don't have a mom.... his fathers are never gonna make him feel that emptiness that hole.
They will love them with their all heart and soul.

And now...Manik don't wanna know where does that baby can from...is he his real father or not....he don't care about these unanswered questions ...because now he had already accepted the the baby and its existence. He had accepted the fact that he is his father..his dad.
