“Jake, Nate just told us about your dad” Maya said it without any expression of shock and saw Pete.
I saw Pete and I can say was really hesitant to talk about something he turned towards Maya then she said “He’ll know about it sooner or later Honey, It’s better if that comes from us”.
Pete really hesitated to say about it, “You were never adopted Jake” Nate from out of nowhere.
“Jake, we’re sorry we should’ve told you earlier I’m Peter Wilfrey” Peter said it with fear and hesitation, When I heard the name Wilfery my eyes opened in shock and disbelief I asked him “You are Wilfrey like Wilfrey in Mary Wilfrey ,my mom?”.
He nodded with tears rolling down and said “Yes, Jake I’m your uncle”.
I didn’t know how to process what’s happening to me right now just stood there like dummy without any expression literally don’t know who I’m seeing right now because of the tears clouding my eyes which I’m pretty sure is gonna erupt anytime possible and asked “Why no one..... anyone never said a word about this to me before?” wiped my eyes to stay focused on whom I’m seeing right now and it was Nate who was watching with his are you alright buddy expression on his face ,I turned to Maya“ How come Nate knows about it but not me?”
Nate raised up his hand “Don’t add me in that list there dude I just knew about it like” checks his watch “five minutes and twenty two seconds ago I’m as shocked as you are right now ”as he turns to see Pete and Maya “ You guys better come up with good reason before he black lists everyone in this room, This guy literally black listed his father by saying He never considered him a father ”.
“You were eavesdropping ,Nate?” I gave him a glare, “Dude you were really loud I could hear it in the elevator” he said it with open hands “Could you focus on Pete and Maya please, I would really like to know Why？” He goes to counter and pops a soda and sits on the couch in front of us literally ignoring our deadly stare he points Pete to me.
Maya walks towards him drags him out by his ear as he yells “I have the right to know Maya let go of my ear, I walk out on my own please let go of my ear Maya IT HURTS ” Door shuts as Maya dragged him out but we can hear him still “ We are already in first floor Maya why are you still dragging me ?” and it was silent like clam place which is going to have apocalypse.
“Jake, before your mother died she made me to promise not to tell you anything until it is really necessary” He sat on couch and patted his hand on couch .
Have you had someone in your life who always gives you a feeling that you can trust them ?, Most of them would say Dad or Mom but for me It was Pete, He was there for me whenever I needed him most , He always made sure I was happy and satisfied with my choice, He taught me everything what a father would have taught his son.
I sat near him and he continued “ I was adopted by your grandparents when I was 15, I was a arrogant troubled kid back then trust me your grandpa always walks with his pole in his hand just to hit me for something I’ve done but I always had great hiding spot, I just run and hide behind your mom and she always protected me from getting beaten by your grandpa” I was confused as all of you reading this story what’s all this going to explain about me didn’t adopted so to break it to the point I asked Pete “What’s all this got to do with me didn’t get adopted ?”
He smiled “When Mary was 20 she fell in love with this guy named Micheal aka Mike your father”
My voice telling me “at least now he’s getting somewhere near your story, But why I didn’t get adopted ?”
“And....?” I asked with no interest, Pete patted my back I could say he noticed my patience is growing thin “ After few years when I was 25 they got married and Mary was pregnant with you when they got married”
My voice “Cr*p I was unplanned, an accident”.
Pete continued “Your grandfather was not happy about your mother’s marriage, Your mom and grandpa always fought about Micheal most of the days and most of the nights your mom storm out of the door after fighting with your grandpa”
My voice screaming inside “ Okay!! now I get it I wasn’t a unplanned accident, I was just a result of a comforting cuddle which accidentally happened unplanned because of my lost in temper angry grandfather !! GREAT!!”
I shook my head and asked peter “ Why grandpa didn’t like mike ?” and
“Why I never knew about my mom’s family?” and “Why I never got adopted ?”.
Pete nodded “Well, All I know is your grandpa thought Micheal was not a family material and he didn’t take it seriously as your grandpa said until they got married for which your grandpa agreed and went so your mom felt like she was abandoned by her family and.......” he stood up went to kitchen for water “I didn’t hear from her until she ‘s getting divorce and she said she was suffering from illness so I asked her to move here and she said she didn’t want to tell you about your grandparents because she believed that if they reject you you might get heart broken so she made me to promise that I would adopt you and never tell you anything about this only if it is necessary”
My voice “ Dude he’s is making you way more confused than before”
“ Why my parents got divorced ?
Why my mom asked you to adopt ?
Why mom never told me she was sick?
And most important one of all
WHY I NEVER GOT ADOPTED ?” I asked Pete more confused than before.
