Novelas y relatos de You Re Not My Dad

It was a message from my dad. To: Re Fr: Dad Sorry kiddo, can't pick you up today. I got called in to work last minute. Maybe next time, I promise. P.S. Please tell mom not to eat my donuts!! I'll be home late. See you guys at home. Love, Dad :P

Long after the call ended, Bryan felt a mixture of frustration and a persistent determination to find a way to bridge the gap with his son. As Bryan contemplated the strained connection, he couldn't shake the hope that, perhaps one day, they could find a way to break through the walls that kept them emotionally distant. As Jayden hung up the phone, he found himself in a moment of contemplation about his father's revelation. The news of Bryan having a girlfriend didn't evoke any strong emotions in Jayden; he was neither happy nor sad. It was more of a detached acknowledgment, an acceptance of a fact that didn't hold much significance to him.

"I want to eat your dark cuisines, Mommy. I want you to tell me bedtime stories and hug me to sleep." "Anyone can do this, Julian. You're just not used to having me away from you." I turned to leave, but he tugged at the hem of my skirt. Julian choked, "No, Mommy. I'm really sorry now. What happened that day was just a prank—I don't like Ms. Emily at all. I promise this won't happen again! "Daddy is a liar! He said you'll come back when you recover your memories, but you no longer want me even though you remember me!"

"I'm not your daughter at all." "What a joke. You think that you can completely leave me after denying this blood relation?"

l felt anger and resentment towards whoever the person behind this. The drive from the hospital to our home was the worst l ever had. I always look forward to going home to meet my family but this time there was a knot in my stomach, unknown thorn in my heart too. I wasn't sure if l want to go. He wasn't there anymore to smile at me. To call me princess or queen. To tease me however he wants. Most importantly whom my kids are going to call dad again. The thought of them growing up without a dad made my heart ache even more. I wailed again. My dad could only sigh helplessly from time to time.

We walked slowly, and I threaded my fingers with Soren’s as he threaded his with Max’s, and it felt nice here, absorbed by the crowd of other unusual parties, colourful people in colourful clothes, gay and straight and everything in between. “You mentioned your mother,” Max said. “What about your father?” “I don’t have a dad,” I replied in a beat. “My dad is nothing but a blank space on my birth certificate.” “Sorry,” he said. “Don’t be,” I said. “I’m not.”

You don’t know us- me, for that matter. Serious as I was, I didn’t smile back, “My money, Dad!” “My son…I,” he said “My money, where is it?” “Mind how you talk to me, son. I`m your father.” I gave him a look. He should have seen himself. For a moment his right, he`s my father, not Dad. I don’t have a Dad; and a mom for that matter. They are my parents- mother and father. Someone should tell them what Mom and Dad is.

“I know this letter has already been found by now. I'm such an oldie, you know? I mean, who sends letters these days? But I felt the need to write it for you, my girl. You’re so strong, you know. I might be your dad, but I admire you greatly. I know what you endured for me, even the things you didn’t say out loud. I appreciate every single one.

Max said and I rolled my eyes. "You're not my dad Max, I can't imagine if I have a dad like you." I commented and ran upstairs. "Hey.. I'm a cool dad!"

Dad presses his lips together, closing his eyes as if trying to conjure the words out of him. My heart races. What does he want to tell me? “I'm not your biological father.” The words dive straight into my heart, weakening my knees even more. I lose balance, almost falling to the ground but Dad…shit, he's not my dad? He stops me from falling. My lips quiver, my eyes sparkling with unchecked confusion, “What are you talking about, Dad? What do you mean?” Steadying me back to balance, he grips my shoulder, “I'm sorry I kept this away from you for so long. And I honestly considered you my son but…since it's gotten to this, I thought it's right to let you know.”
