The weekend came and Sarah accompanied Kyle to visit his father in prison for the first time.
"You prepared a lot of presents for him, " Kyle commented, referring to the paper bags Sarah brought with her inside his car.
"You know mom. She wanted to buy more but I had to stop her otherwise your car would be filled with various gifts..." Sarah said with a grin. Though it was not the first time she would meet Kyle's father, she was a bit nervous. The first time they met was when Kyle introduced her as his girlfriend but she did not know that Bill Grey was his father then.
She couldn't help but smile because that fake introduction had become a reality and she was more than a girlfriend now, she was Kyle's fiance.
"I hope he agrees to see us, " Kyle suddenly whispered with a low voice.
Sarah hugged his arm and moved closer so she could rest her head on Kyle's shoulder.
"Hmm, we can try to visit him again if he won't see us. You visit him every weekend right? From now on you can always bring me with you, " Sarah encouraged. She was hoping Kyle's father would soon realize his wrongdoings and turn over a new leaf for himself and his relationship with Kyle as a father.
Kyle had endured so much pain alone as not everything was easy for him. His struggle was not something to be taken lightly and she adored him for being a righteous person as well as a good son who wanted to correct his father.
They arrived at the prison before lunch and the jail guard informed Bill, "You have a visitor. It's your son and his fiance. Do you want to see them?"
Bill did not answer and one of his cellmates interrupted, "You should see him this time. He always comes to see you. Aren't you curious to see your future daughter-in-law?"
Bill was expressionless as he looked back at the guard and said, "I won't see them."
He sat on his bunk bed and sighed.
"Are you still mad at him for betraying you?" he heard his cellmate speak. Bill suffered a lot of bullying inside the prison. Everyone made him a laughing stock because his own son threw him to jail. Bill looked at the old man in torment. He was the only one who did not nitpick on him.
Soon the guard came back, bringing in a lot of things for him.
"This is from your son and daughter-in-law..." the guard said before he handed everything to him after it underwent rigorous inspection.
Bill accepted it and excitedly looked inside the bag. He saw a picture of his son with a woman. He still remembered that woman since Kyle had already introduced her to him.
"Wow, your son is really good-looking and so is your future daughter-in-law."
Billy smiled and whispered, "Look at this brat smiling so widely. I have already met his girlfriend once and she's more beautiful in person. Her name is Sarah. I can't believe that these two will get married soon. I'm glad he finally has someone in his life..."
"Yeah, he looks so happy. I bet he will be happier if his father would agree to see him don't you think? He never fails to visit you and bring you useful stuff every week. I'm really envious of you. None of my children thought to visit me even once. Those brats! I guess they are embarrassed that I'm their father so they don't even waste time to see me, " his cellmate added.
Bill's eyebrows lifted up as he turned and looked at him.
His cellmate chuckled and acted as if he was zipping his lips. He almost forgot that Bill hated it whenever he talked too much.
"Here, go through it and take whatever you like, " Bill commented as he handed over one of the paper bags.
"Oh thank you, dude." his cellmate said and excitedly grabbed the things Kyle and his fiance had brought for him.
"By the way, from the looks of it, you are no longer mad at your son, right? So why are you still refusing to see him?"
Bill did not answer. He knew his son did the right thing but he was betrayed as a father. He was deeply hurt but as time passed by he realized his wrongdoings and knew that he deserved everything that was happening to him right now.
He was not ready to face Kyle at that time because he was too ashamed as a father.
"Next time you should see him and tell him to bring you more toiletries. We need it" his inmate shamelessly suggested
"Can you keep your mouth shut or else you will not get anything from me, " Bill bossed, making his cellmate scratch his head.

Outside the prison, Sarah held Kyle's hand interlocking their fingers together as they walked back to the car.
"It's okay... Maybe he's not ready to see you yet, " Sarah commented. She knew Kyle was feeling down and she thought about what she could do to lift his spirit.
"How about we go and watch another movie? You like action movies right? Let's watch that one..." Sarah suggested as they stepped inside the car.
Kyle smiled at her and said, "Don't worry about me. Yeah, I'm a bit down but I will be okay since you're here with me... I don't feel like how I usually felt before..."
Sarah turned at Kyle and asked, "Hmm, what's the difference before and now?"
Kyle smiled and grabbed her hand as he said, "Before I would feel depressed but now I don't because you're here by my side. I would usually feel weak but then having you around makes me feel like I'm recharged despite the disappointment..."
Sarah reddened because Kyle kissed her hand after saying it. She removed her seatbelt and moved closer to hug Kyle.
"You need this hug so that you're fully charged, " she bashfully murmured as she patted Kyle's back.
"I think I need more than this, " Kyle whispered and she quickly understood what he meant.
"Alright. I will give you more later, " she replied with a grin.
