Kendrick was unmoved, his body still stiff as a robot. His lips were confused, what to answer. Staring astonished at the two boys who had similar faces to him.
Kevin didn't put his arm around Kendrick's leg. Feel like a dream, because, finally what he dreamed all this time materialized. Although, his Daddy's response did not match his reflection, Kevin did not care. Most importantly, he will always be with his dad. And won't let his Daddy go again.
In contrast to Kenny raised a questioning gaze, why his Daddy was just silent, not returning Kevin's words or hugging him and his sister. Kenny was silent, though in his heart cheering could see his Daddy's face.
Quite a long time silence was created in the room, until Kevin's voice was heard again.
"Daddy, won't Daddy hug me?"
Kevin's voice is like an oasis that waters Kendrick's arid heart. Either possible, because of the inner bond. The blue sea-sliced man took Kevin's bare hands, Kenny's hands were pulled by Kendrick as well. Then lead them to a long L-shaped sofa in the middle of the room.
"Daddy, why don't you hug me?"
Kevin pouted a little, as he sat down next to Kendrick.
Kendrick turned his head later without many words holding Kevin on his lap. Then pull Kevin in the arms. His heart rippled again, he was unable to describe his feelings at this moment, however, he clearly just followed his instincts. There was a feeling of comfort in the deepest recesses of his heart now.
"I'm sorry Daddy." With his eyes closed, Kendrick patted Kevin on the back.
A cheerful smile was on Kevin's face. He also returned his Daddy's embrace. "It's okay, Daddy."
"Why did Daddy come home so long? Has Daddy's money not been collected?" Kenny asked suddenly, as he was like a buzzing mosquito because Kendrick and Kevin were hugging each other regardless.
Kendrick's eyelids opened, looking at the boy who had a facial expression similar to his. Staring at him with wondering eyes.
"Hmm, it's not time yet" Kendrick said. Following the plot of Ashley's game, he guesses that the woman who had told him seven years ago lied to two boys in front of him.
No more word from Kenny. The boy seemed to think.
Taking off his arms, Kevin looked at Kendrick, saying, "Daddy, my prayers finally came out. Now Kevin has Daddy!"
Kendrick did not reply, however, there was a chunk of rock squeezing his chest at this moment.
Then the words of Kevin, managed to make Kendrick's chest throbbing sore.
"Kevin has no friends, other than Ken's sister, they say that we don't deserve to live in this world." With a sad face Kevin added. Remember how the neighbors railed and insulted them. Not only mothers, but their peers also often say harsh words.
"Is it wrong for Dad, if the poor live, the poor cannot live?" Kevin went back to his own.
Kenny who was listening, was only able to sigh. He was so beautiful, when he saw and heard his sister in humiliation, even though he had told Kevin not to look for friends anymore. Leave it alone but Kevin's attitude is very different from his, who prefers to socialize with others.
Changing his sitting position, Kevin held both of Kendrick's cheeks overgrown with fine feathers and stared longingly.
"But, now that Kevin has met Daddy, Kevin misses Daddy a lot, after seven years Kevin can finally see Daddy's face." Kevin's eyes began to glaze over, hoping that what happened now was not a mere fantasy. "Daddy, don't go again...." Kevin was unable to stem anymore when the clear liquid finally flowed in his eye fertilizer.
Kendrick was full, unable to say anything. Hearing the sobbing, he pulled Kevin's face back into his chest.
"Daddy don't go again, Kevin prayed every night to the Universe, asking Daddy to come into Kevin's dream but God never answered Kevin's prayer, so...."
Inside the deck, Kevin's stumped body trembled slowly. He could not continue the words anymore. Now Kendrick's chest is sore, like in a dagger. Unknowingly he kissed Kevin's head slowly. Then turned his gaze towards Kenny, bowing his face.
"Kenny, come here" Kendrick said at once as he patted the sofa softly next to him.
Kenny raised his face, it turned out that the two cheeks were also flowing profusely. Kendrick gave Kenny the code to get closer.
Kenny moved, without saying a word directly hug his Daddy and cry with his sister.
Now, the three of them hugged each other, letting go of the longing that had not been conveyed. Kendrick is on the verge of a dilemma, his mind trying to resist, if the twins are not his children. However, his subconscious made Kendrick realize that Kenny and Kevin were indeed his children.
