Chapter 66 - Esther Hugged Cyrus

Ch-66

Esther returned home, she directly went to her home and took a shower. She stood in front of the mirror and looked into her reflection. She closed her eyes and thought of the person who was meeting her. Esther thought she would get answers from her only. 

But how hard she tried, she couldn't call her soul. Daily whenever she called it would haunt her. What happened today? 

The reflection in the mirror changed into a different woman. The face was the same, but their clothes were different. She was wearing a Kashta (Gochi) style Dravidian saree (A type of saree draping style). That Woman was adorned with jewelry from top to bottom. She had a big round vermilion in between her eyebrows. 

"You will find your answers when you find your destiny!" the woman said. 

"How can I find him?" Esther asked. 

"Your child will lead you to him! Till then, don't even think of knowing about the things that you don't need to know. If you die, you will die without your knowledge. Time will tell you everything. Don't let others know about your tattoos!" The women said. She disappeared in an instant before the reflection turned to normal. 

"TASMATH JAGRATHAHA!" [Be Careful] the same voice sounded in her room. 

Esther silently changed into her pajamas. She went to the dining hall and had her dinner. She slept soundly.

Next-Day...

Esther woke up early. She had her breakfast and left for the hospital. Esther needs to look at Reggie. She wondered how Reggie was connected to her past. 

She reached the hospital and went to Reggie's ward. She saw he was already awake. Cyrus was setting the table for the little one's breakfast. 

"Good Morning, Miss Benjamin," he said in a sexy voice as he looked straight into her eyes. 

She looked into his golden orbs; she felt like she was entranced into his eyes. They were doing some magic to her, she couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was, but she felt this man was handsome, Good looking, and cool. Esther was so entranced by his looks that she didn't notice that man was looking at her with his hungry eyes. 

Cyrus saw Esther coming in. His heart started beating hard. He couldn't help but feel that this woman can do many things to his frozen heart. When he noticed her burning gaze, he couldn't help but feel his body was heating. Certain people who went into hibernation started reacting. He slowly took a step forward to her. He wanted to hug a certain someone disrupted her but his momentum!. 

"MOM!" A child's voice could be heard. 

Esther and Cyrus both woke up from their reveries. Esther blushed into a bright shade of red. She never felt like that with anyone. Even with Arthur, she hasn't looked at him that passionately. 

"Reggie! Morning!" she said with a smile. 

"Mom! Why was your face red?" he asked worriedly. 

"Really? Maybe it's windy outside!" Esther said. 

"Oh! Does mom have breakfast? If she didn't she can have it with Reggie?" Reggie said. 

"Nope! Mom already has breakfast! You eat it!" she said with a smile. 

"Then will mom feed me?" Reggie asked. 

"Sure!" she said. 

With that, both mother and son ignored the father. Cyrus was speechless. He wanted to say, 'Woman! You were looking at me so passionately just now! Now you were ignoring me!' 

But he couldn't say these words out loud. If he says these things out, she would shut him out. And last night she saw how scary she can be. 

She just got that guy raped!

Damn!

What if she does that to him!? 

Sigh...… 

Also, he saw the tattoos on her body. Those were the same tattoos that his woman had two hundred years ago…. 

Her eyes were dangerous. It's just that she doesn't know how to use the powers. If she knew them a hell would break out! 

When he was in his thoughts, he could hear the mother and son's laughter in the ward. Soon, the little devil finished his food. 

"Reggie! Mom was leaving now! Okay!? I will try to make time this afternoon to meet you and get the food you asked!" Esther said. 

She got up to leave, but her shirt sleeves were gripped. 

"I want to be with you today!" Reggie asked with his cute little face and his wide eyes as he pouted his little lips. 

"Reggie! You will come with daddy, not with Miss. Benjamin!" Cyrus said sternly. 

Little Reggie started screaming when he heard he wouldn't meet his mom. 

"I want mom!" he yelled and cried loudly. He ran to her and hugged her leg. 

Esther felt her heartbreak into pieces. She couldn't see the little guy crying like this. 

"Mom, wouldn't you be my mom anymore?" he asked with his saddened eyes. 

Esther couldn't help but feel sad for him. This guy's parents were dead, after that he was brought into Garcia's by Arthur but left a trauma to him. Now Esther was leaving him too. If Cyrus wouldn't have adopted him, this kid would have been dead. He was such a pitiful guy. 

"No! I will be your momma! Don't cry!" she said. 

"Really?" he asked. 

"Really!" she said. 

"Promise?" he asked. 

Esther paused for a while before saying, "Promise!" she said. 

"It won't be a problem for you, right? If I am your mother?" she asked. 

"No Problem!" Reggie said. 

But little did Reggie not know was that the question was directed to Cyrus. Esther looked at Cyrus with her big doe eyes. 

"Reggie, take rest on here. I have to talk with Miss. Benjamin!" Cyrus said. 

"Okie!" he said. 

"Miss. Benjamin, will you please come out!" he said. 

"There was a coffee shop in front of this hospital let's talk there!" he said. She nodded at him. 

Esther followed him out. They both started walking to the hospital exit. 

While they were going, they saw several patients were being admitted to the hospital. Cyrus stopped someone and asked, "What happened?" 

"There was an accident nearby! So, the patients were admitted to the nearest hospital!" that person said. 

"Miss. Benjamin, please walk to the side," Cyrus said. 

"Okay!" she said. 

They exited the hospital and entered the coffee shop. An empty table was there at the corner of the shop. "Let's go there!" Cyrus said. 

She nodded her head. 

Cyrus wanted to hug her now when he saw her obedient self. He wanted to bite her lips and bully her under him, but he couldn't do it. Cyrus saw a woman was walking away. He flicked his hand sneakily. The woman suddenly lost her footing and fell on Esther. Esther was about to fall on the water glass. If she fell, she would straightly fall on the glass and the glass pieces may Peirce into her forehead. Cyrus threw the water glass down with a swipe of his hand and hugged her tightly. 

The woman fell to the ground on her butt. 

Esther was scared when she was about to fall. She felt she would meet with an injury on her forehead, but she met with a warm embrace. She clutched Cyrus's shirt tightly while she buried her head in his chest. Her nostrils were hit with the strong masculine scent of male testosterone. Her mind started calming down, her nerves started relaxing. Unknowingly, she snaked her hands around his waist. She pasted herself to him. Cyrus wrapped his hands around her. 

"Miss, please look while walking. If I hadn't come on time, her forehead would have been injured because of the glass. Would you pay for her injuries! And how can you walk like that, you were already so grown up, yet don't even know how to walk?" Cyrus started berating the woman. 

"See, she was still shaking because of the fright! She was already because our son was admitted to hospital and now you were trying to harm her! If she got hurt, I would have called the police!" Cyrus couldn't stop scolding that woman. It looked like Esther wouldn't leave his embrace until his scolding was finished. And he was enjoying her presence in his arms. But the thing he failed to notice was the glass. He regretted playing a trick like that. He warned him to be careful next time.

Esther was silently listening to his scoldings. She felt warmth was filling in her heart because of his words. She couldn't help but feel happy when he was standing for her except for her family no one stood on her side and Arthur he would always try to scold rather, as for standing on her side… it was in her dreams only. 

But when he said 'our son' she was jerked in his arms. She tightened her hold on him, she couldn't help but move closer to him. They were so close that they could feel each other's bodies. The only wall between them was their clothes. She wanted to tell him to leave them, but she couldn't. 

"Leave them, Cyrus" Esther's low voice could be heard. 

He looked down at the woman who was hugging him tightly like she would die if she didn't hold him. Her big innocent eyes were pleading with him, he melted in her sight. 

"Are you sure?" he asked. 

She nodded at him. While she nodded, her body rubbed against him in a slight movement. Cyrus groaned inside his head. Ah… this woman! 

"Since she was saying, I will let you go!" Cyrus said. 

"Happy?" he asked. 

She nodded her head. She looked like a contented little cat; he rubbed her hair dotingly. 

"Sir, your wife was generous. Thank you, Mrs," the woman who pushed Esther apologized. 

Esther wanted to say that she wasn't his wife, but she couldn't explain to them clearly about their situation, so she let them assume whatever they wanted.
