Amidst the silent space, only the beeping sound coming from the monitor was the only noise echoing in the room. A couple of shuffles on the floor and sniffs can be heard.

Alexander finally stood up from the floor. His head hang low as Diam stood there observing him. Caleb was still on his arms sleeping tightly on his shoulders.

"Such a pity to see you apologizing to me Alexander but I'm not the one that you should seek your apologies but to my brother. Whatever decision my brother makes, I have nothing to say to it. I'm willing to forget the mistake you've made and I'm willing to give my brother's hand to you if he consent to it. So now, it all depends on my brothers decision."

With one last look, Diam turned around to leave but stopped on his tracks and turned to look at Alexander for one last time. I felt my breath hitch as if sensing what my brother was about to do. I wanted to scream, I wanted to tell him that it wasn't the time for Alexander to know about his son. What if he takes Caleb away from me while I'm still lying on this bed lifelessly and unmoving?

Sensing that Diam had turned around, Alexander lifted his tear stained face to look at Diam.

"I guess you need to extend your apologies to Caleb too. Your son has been bothering me about you but I didn't want to meddle with your affairs so I never talked to him about you. Even though you weren't there in his seven years of life, he kept on asking about you."

When he heard those words, Alexander couldn't help but let out another batch of tears. Diam turned once again to leave and just at that moment, Caleb's face that was so much alike him finally dawned on him. While Alexander was crying, he couldn't help but gave out a smile. A smile that I had almost forgotten that he used to wear one when we were still together.

Without wasting another minute, Alexander ran out of the room. I also followed them afraid that if he ever snatch Caleb away from me, my ghost would go berserk just to have my son back.

"Wait!" Alexander called.

Diam took a halt from his footsteps. He turned around to look at Alexander.

"Is he really my son? My son from Lay?" Alexander asked for assurance.

Diam didn't answer for a whole duration of one minute, he just stood there looking at Alexander then finally moved forward to only stop just a few steps before Alexander. Diam slowly pulled Caleb from his arms and motioned Alexander to fetch him.

"Open your arms. Don't you want to hold your own son?" Diam stated.

Startled, Alexander recieved the sleeping Caleb from Diam and was now snuggling in his arms. A smile crept up into Alexander face as he held Caleb for the first time.

"Hold him for awhile, I'll have to talk to Lay's doctor." Diam excused and walked away.

Alexander rubbed Caleb's back to comfort him and decided to head back inside my room which made me breath a sigh of relief. Alexander sat down on the couch and made Caleb to sleep on his lap. His head was using Alexander's thighs as his pillow while lying asleep on the couch. He brushed Caleb's hair that was covering his eyes with a smile that it made my heart warm.

Caleb stirred from his sleep but finally woke up from his sleep. When he opened his eyes and saw that it wasn't his uncle who came with him, he immediately sat up.

"Who are you mister?" Caleb's cute voice called out which made Alexander smile.

As I looked at Alexander who wasn't answering my son's question, I had wished that he would lie. This was too soon to happen.

"I-I'm a f-friend of your dad. Your uncle Diam went out to talk to your dad's doctor." Alexander stated which made me breathed a sigh of relief but something was in me that wanted Alexander to tell the truth.

Caleb turned to look at me who was lying on the bed unmoving.

"Is my dad gonna be alright? Is he going to wake up?" Caleb asked with sadness in his voice.

"Of course! Your dad is a strong man. I've known him since he was small." Alexander reassured.

With twinkling eyes, Caleb turned to look at Alexander excitedly.

"If you know my dad way back when you were small, do you happen to know my other dad? My dad and Uncle Diam said he died in an accident but I think they're lying. I can feel that he's still alive and is looking for me."

Based from Alexander's facial expression, he really wanted to tell Caleb that he was his other dad. But I don't know why he's holding back.

"I want him to be with me and my dad so that dad wouldn't have to shoulder everything when it comes to me. I hate seeing him so tired whenever he gets home then he have to take care of me so he becomes more tired that he's unable to accompany me in the bathroom in the midnight. I just want someone to help my dad as a partner and I want my other dad to play with me." Caleb stated which made my heart swell.

This kid, I never thought he has been thinking things like these. Its true that when I came home from work, I was so tired that I'd rather sleep through the night and unable to wake up whenever Caleb wanted to go to the bathroom. I saw Alexander gave out a smile.

"So you're saying that you wanted to meet your other dad?"

"Yes!"

"Even if he's a bad person?"

"He's my dad, I know he won't hurt me."

"Even if... he's ugly?"

"Psssh!! I don't believe my dad is ugly mister. Can't you see my handsome face? I bet my other dad is also handsome just like my daddy Lay!" Caleb chirped which made Alexander laughed.

"Believe me kid, your father sure is handsome base from your looks." Alexander stated with pride.

"Yes! If I'm handsome, so is my other dad too!"

I wanted to facepalm myself. Of course! You both have the same face so you're both handsome that it annoys me.

"What's your name buddy?" Alexander finally asked. Caleb turned to Alexander with a smile.

"I'm Caleb Alexander B. Miers mister! How about you mister? What's your name?"

Alexander smiled with pride. "You can call me Alexander."

"Alexander? Don't you have a last name mister?"

"Uum... M- B-Blake. I'm Alexander Blake." Alexander lied which made me chuckle.

Caleb gave a suspicious stare at Alexander. "Your name sounds off."

Alexander begun sweating. "Does it? I get that a lot from other people."

"Oh well, I guess that makes you my uncle too!" Caleb chirped.

Diam finally came back into the room with a tired sigh.

"Uncle Diam! Look! I've made a new Uncle! His name is Uncle Alexander Blake!" Caleb chirped excitedly as he jump off from the couch into Diam's arms.

Diam couldn't help but to raise his other brow in question to Alexander.

"We have to go home first to get some clothes for my brother. If you're not busy, could you look after Lay for awhile?" Diam asked. Alexander smiled.

"Yes of course! No problem."

"We'll be back later Mr. Alexander Blake." Diam teased with a smirk which made Alexander stiffle an awkward laugh.

"See you mister Alexander Blake!"
