Chapter 100 - Monster!

Ch-99

Reggie was so excited that he started singing and dancing. 

"Reggie is going out! 

Mom is taking Reggie. 

Reggie is mom's son!" he danced as he sang the song. 

"Mom! Check Reggie's Room! I will be back!" Reggie said and dashed. He went to Cyrus' room and saw he was not there. He directly went to study to see if he was there. And indeed he was there. It's time for him to show off! 

"Dad! You know what? Mom and Reggie are going out! When a man and woman go out, what is it called? Date? Right! Date! My mom and I are going on a date! You sit and deal papers of today and tomorrow! So sad of you!" Reggie said as he enjoyed his dad's misery. 

"Mommy loves Reggie. 

Reggie goes on date with mommy!

Mommy goes on a date with Reggie! 

Mommy and Reggie are gonna have a good time. 

Daddy is a loner. 

Daddy has to cover the work. 

Daddy is a poor man. 

Daddy cannot have time with mommy. 

Reggie pities daddyyyy~~

Daddy is pitiful~~

Ahhhhhhhh ooooohhhhhh!"  Reggie danced as he sang. 

Cyrus's face was already dark but now it's darker. This guy doesn't fail to irritate him. Sigh… He needs to either spoil the date or he has to go along with them. With many cunning thoughts, he continued to read his documents. 

"I have work! Don't disturb me!" he said as he tried to kick him away. 

"I know! Dad is jealous of me!" Reggie said as he laughed at him before running away. 

He went to his room and saw his mom was sorting out his closet. He walked ahead. 

"Reggie you are back!" she said with a smile. 

"Yesh! Momma, Hug~" he asked as he reached her. 

As he asked Esther hugged him giving a kiss on his cheek. Even Reggie kissed her back. This was the scene that Cyrus saw when he was about to enter Reggie's room. 

Gosh! 

Reggie is in trouble! 

"Daddy! Momma Kissed me! Reggie was kissed by mom! See mommy's lipstick mark is still there!" Reggie said as he jumped like a ball in front of Cyrus. Cyrus wanted to pick this brat with his collar and throw him out but when he saw the lipstick mark, he got a naughty idea. 

"Come here," he asked Reggie. Reggie went to his father as he puffed his chest in front of his dad and stood there. 

Cyrus bent his face and brought it closer to the kid. Reggie watched him suspiciously and said nothing as he waited for his dad's moves. Cyrus bent down and kissed him on the same mark where Esther's lipstick mark was there. Esther saw this and blushed as her cheeks turned into a faint shade of pink. She doesn't want him to see her getting affected so she turned to the side and started sorting his closet. 

"Now, I kissed you!" Cyrus said to Reggie but these words were for Esther. 

"You! Sneaky man! You kissed on mom's mark! Since you can't kiss her, you are being like this! God will punish you!" Reggie said as he yelled at him. How dare he kiss him on her mom's kiss mark. That's lost! He wanted to show her kiss mark to everyone but his dad failed that. 

"MEANIE!" Reggie yelled. 

"Whatever" Cyrus shrugged. 

Reggie ran to Esther and hugged her as he shed crocodile tears. 

"Mom! Daddy is bullying Reggie! sobs" Reggie sobbed. 

"Mommy will kiss you again!" Esther said as he tried to pacify him. 

"Gib me!" he asked as showed his cheek. And for a second she fell for her son's cute antics and kissed him the side he showed. 

After kissing she realized she kissed the same side where Cyrus kissed the kid. 

"Mom is best!" Reggie said as he jumped on her and started kissing her both cheeks. 

"Ahh… Reggie! Fine! Let go! I need to go home!" Esther said. 

"Mom! Will you not stay with Reggie?" Reggie asked with sad puppy eyes. 

"Reggie~ ~ Mom has work to do! She will come tomorrow! Don't cry!" Esther said. 

"Mom~~ you can leave! After all, I have to get used to being alone again. No one to talk to. No one to play. No one to cook food. No one to feed me. No one gives me chocolate when eating medicine. Reggie can do it. Mom…. Reggie will not disturb you!" Reggie said as he went inside the bathroom and closed it with a bang. Reggie cried as he crouched down in the cold bathroom tiles. After a while, he got up and washed his face, and came out. Only to see Esther still there. 

"Aunty… why are you still here?" Reggie asked as he pierced a big sword into her chest. 

Esther felt sad when she heard Reggie's words. She felt she was being cruel. But she has to do it. After all, she will be there for only less time. 

"I will come tomorrow and let's go out!" Esther said as she left the room. 

Cyrus who was waiting for her downstairs looked at her. 

"I will drop you off. It's rush hour getting a cab is hard!" he said and followed her. 

Esther said nothing and walked along with him. 

"Reggie is a really obedient child. He never complains, even if he does when I say something he will do it. But no matter what I do or how much I give to him. He still needs a  mother who can take care of him. And that mother can only be you. Even though you can't be his mom, please don't be harsh on him next time. 

"And of course, he will ask your company if you keep appearing in front of him. He is just a kid. If you appear in front of him like this, he will think you can live with him entirely. 

"Keeping Reggie aside I really love you. I know with his presence you will think it's just a bluff as time passes you will get to know. 

"Don't think much about him, Raudra. I will take care of him! It's just that in the past four months I got him treated by baiting him saying that he will meet you. He is a little kid, right? He has a lot of expectations. Even after seeing you, he didn't give up. That day after he saw you in the hotel accidentally, every day he used to ask me when was the next time he could see you. But every day when he doesn't see you he will be sad. And he will wake up with the hope of seeing you the next day. It's normal for him. Just don't give him so much hope and break it!" He said. Esther climbed the car in a daze as she was still processing the words of Cyrus. 

Infact, Cyrus hated seeing Reggie acting like that. Only he knew how many times Reggie got sick and made his head injury worse. He really wanted to give the kid his mother but what happened? Nothing is working. Esther just hates Cyrus's presence itself. He doesn't want to disappoint his son. If fates can be adjusted he wanted Reggie to be born to him. But Reggie was not born to him. 

Cyrus spoke nothing as they drove all the way. He dropped off Esther at her home and left only after seeing her turning on the lights in her room. 

"I am sorry, My Son!" he murmured as he leaned back at the back of his seat. 

"I couldn't get my wife and couldn't get your mom! Just like before she is hard to tame. But in her last life she is softer unlike now," he continued. 

"Rudra…" he called out clutching his chest. He felt like his chest was being locked. And he knows why it was being like this. His heart was locked during his cultivation process with the magical tree. After that, he was called a heartless monster. After all, he has a part of a monster's qualities. 

Only the elders know the secret of his and his father. Even his sister knew it but somehow it was leaked everyone knew him as a monster. 

Only Esther can unlock his heart. Only she can make him into a normal person but she doesn't love him. 

"God! Is my centuries and decades of wait for her waste?" he murmured as he clutched his chest. 

After resting for a bit in the car his chest pain became better. The moment Esther came down his chest started hurting. He has no choice but to hold it on. Even though he was strong and had great cultivation abilities he was still a person who could feel pain and hurt. In Front of Esther, he couldn't show his weakness. With his abilities, he can heal everything but this chest pain was something he could do nothing. He just has to bear it. 

If not for that incident, he would not have missed twenty-four years of life. After that incident, he slept straight twenty years in his life. His Kula Guru sister worked hard for him to get him back to life. They used the Daivata Dwadasha dhatu golam (twelve divine elemental spheres)  cultivation seeds to save him. And to save his life again he became a monster. If not for it he would have not allowed her to get hurt.. By the time when he woke up and heard about Esther, she was already married.
