Probably not the response he wanted, but definitely the one he deserved lol

"Since you were a kid, your dad have never paid attention to you nor cared about your presence. He always focus on your two older brothers, Leon and Damon. Only one them cares about you which is Damon while Leon is on a neutral side. Your mom died after she gave birth to you which made your father blame your existence for her death. Recently, you noticed that your father has been trying to talk to you and giving you more attention but you're not used to it. Now you're on your way to the table, walking towards your seat silently. Your dad and brothers have just arrived at the dining hall along with other guests. Damon looks at you worriedly and sits down beside you, meanwhile Leon and your father Dimitri are talking to each other."

"Damon smiles at you and puts his hand on top of yours, giving it a gentle squeeze."

"Don't worry sis, everything's fine. Dad just invited some business partners over for dinner."

"He reassures you, before turning to face your father and Leon who are still talking in hushed tones. You notice that your father keeps glancing at you every now and then, as if he's trying to read your thoughts."

"Hey guys, what's going on?" "Damon asks, breaking the silence."

"Oh, nothing important." "Leon responds with a shrug." "Just discussing some business matters."

"Your father remains silent, but he keeps staring at you with an intense gaze that makes you feel uncomfortable."

"Damon gives your hand a reassuring squeeze and then stands up, placing his other hand on your shoulder."

"Everything's fine, sis. You didn't do anything wrong." "He says with a reassuring smile." "Dad just wants to talk to you about something."

"Your father nods at Damon's words, still looking at you intently."

"Yes, I would like to have a word with you, BolehNgopi." "He says in a firm voice." "In private."

"Your father motions for you to sit down on the sofa, and then takes a seat across from you. The air is filled with an uncomfortable silence for a few moments before he finally speaks."

"BolehNgopi...look at me." "His voice is stern but not harsh. His eyes softer than usual."

"I...wanted to apologize. For how I've treated you all these years." "He pauses, as if the words are difficult for him to say." "What happened to your mother was not your fault. I should never have blamed you. You did nothing wrong. I was the one who failed as a father to you." "He continues, a hint of remorse in his tone." "I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me."

"Your words seem to visibly pain your father. He lets out a heavy sigh, hanging his head in regret."

"You're right to ask that, BolehNgopi. I have no excuse for the way I treated you all these years." "He says quietly." "The truth is, it took me far too long to realize what really matters - that all I want is to have you in my life. To be a proper father to you."

"He reaches out slowly, as if waiting for your permission, and places a gentle hand on your shoulder."

"I know I don't deserve your forgiveness. But I'm hoping you'll give me a chance to make things right, and prove to you how much you mean to me. You're my daughter - my precious girl. And I love you, just as much as your brothers."

"His eyes meet yours, filled with an emotion you've never seen from him before - vulnerability, and unconditional love."

"Your tears cause your father's expression to crumble even further in anguish and regret. He wipes a stray tear from your cheek gently with his thumb."

"You're right, sweetheart. I was a terrible father to you." "He says, his voice thick with emotion." "I don't blame you for not being able to forgive me so easily. But please know that from this moment on, I will do whatever it takes to right my wrongs and prove to you how much you mean to me."

"He takes both your hands in his gently." "You don't have to call me dad if you're not ready. But I'm asking you for a chance to show you who I really am - someone who loves his daughter more than anything. I know I have a long road to gain your trust, but I'm willing to walk down it for as long as it takes. Please let me try to be the father you deserved from the beginning."

"The sincerity and regret in his eyes is unmistakable. For the first time, you feel like you're truly seeing the man beneath the stern exterior - a man deeply remorseful of his failures as a parent."

"Your words cut deep into your father's heart. He lets out a shaky breath, at a loss for what to say to express how truly remorseful he feels."

"You're right to feel that way, BolehNgopi. I have no one to blame but myself." "He says, his voice breaking slightly." "All I can do is beg for your forgiveness and promise to spend the rest of my days trying to regain even a fraction of the trust and love a daughter should have for her father."

"He reaches up to wipe away the tears from your cheeks." "But know this - you will always be in my will. You are every bit as important to me as your brothers, even if I failed to show it for so long. And from now on, I promise I will be here for you whenever you need me. My door is always open if you wish to talk."

"I don't expect you to call me father. But I hope that in time, as I prove my love for you through my actions, you may be able to see me as Dimitri again." "He says, placing a gentle kiss on your forehead." "You don't have to accept me right away. But I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here as long as it takes to redeem myself in your eyes."

"Your father's expression falls as you walk away, the hurt in your eyes cutting him deeper than any knife could. He knows he has destroyed any chance of earning your trust and love for many years to come. But he vows not to stop trying, no matter how long it takes."

"Later, there's a gentle knock on your bedroom door."

"Sis? It's Damon."

"His familiar voice calls out softly."

"May I come in?"

"When you allow it, he enters with a kind smile and sits beside you, draping an arm comfortingly around your shoulders."

"How are you holding up?"

"He asks tenderly, pressing a kiss to your temple."

"I know father hurt you deeply. But please believe that you will always have me - your big brother who loves you endlessly. You don't have to go through this alone. I'm here for you whenever you need me, for anything at all."

"He pulls you into a warm, protective embrace."

"You're so strong, sis. But it's okay to lean on me too when the burden gets heavy. I've got you."

"Damon holds you close, gently rubbing your back as you cry your anguished tears into his shirt."

"Shh, I know sis. It's okay to let it all out." "He soothes, pressing another kiss to the top of your head."

"Father failed you in the worst way, and those scars don't heal overnight. You have every right to feel conflicted."

"He lifts your chin tenderly to meet your eyes, wiping your tears with his thumbs."

"Take all the time you need to process your feelings. Don't force yourself into anything before you're ready. And you don't ever have to call him dad again if that title doesn't feel right."

"But know that regardless of what happens between you two, you'll always have me by your side. I'm your family - the one who's been there all along. Lean on me as heavily as you need to heal."

"He embraces you once more." "I love you so much, little sis. We'll get through this together, yeah?"
