Part Nine

I arrived at my house safely, I was immediately greeted by my papa who was waiting at the door

"What's wrong daddy, are you okay?"

"Yes papa it's fine, your father is already waiting for you in the office"

I was in front of the door and knocked on the door "knock, knock, knock"

"Come in" my stepfather's voice was heard from inside

I opened the door and entered my stepfather's study

"Sit down" Arthur ordered I sit too

"Aditya you know what's wrong with you?" asked my stepfather straight to the point

"I don't know, what did I do wrong?" I asked back

Arthur looked at Adit sharply "It's your fault, you don't respect and respect me as the head of the household and as your father" said my father

"Dear Sir Arthur, so far I have never considered you to be my father. My father only has one name, Arlan, not Arthur" I was angry.

"Aditya! keep your mouth shut! You don't know who I am, don't try to provoke my anger" my stepfather was furious.

"Well, I don't know who you are, all I know is that you took my papa from my mother after my mother died" I was sarcastic.

"Aditya!"

"crack!" my stepfather banged on the table in front of him

"If there's nothing else you want to talk about, sir, I'll excuse myself first." I stood up from the bench and walked away leaving my stepfather who was looking at me with murderous eyes.

I went straight to my room and fell asleep on the bed.

Not long after that my father entered my room

"Adit what's wrong son, why are you fighting with your father like" my papa is concerned

"He is not my father, my father is still papa Arlan is not him" I said firmly

"But no matter what, respect him as an older person, if your mother is still alive and sees you like this, your mother must be very disappointed in you" my papa advised

"I'm sorry dad, I don't know what to do, I miss mom, I want mom to live again and we can get together again as a family" I cried

"Papa also misses you, misses your mother, but we have to live realistically, your life is still long, you still have a lot to achieve, don't waste your life by punishing yourself" my papa advised me and I just kept my head down

"Well then you just rest, think about what papa said earlier, don't take to heart what your father (Arthur) said" my papa kissed my forehead and came out of my room

"Good night" my dad said

"thank you" i replied

My papa then walked to his husband's office and saw his husband sitting in his chair, closing his eyes
