Chapter 281 - I Am Your Son (2)

Ch-280

Reggie cupped his mother's face with his little hands. "Mommy… no crying. Reggie would be sad," he said as he pouted at her, making her break into a huge grin.

Esther… really has no words. Seriously… no words. She has a son of five years! Damn! Not five years… but two hundred and twenty-four or so years.

"Mommy is not crying. These are happy tears," she said, wiping her face.

Reggie smiled at her feeling better after Esther stopped crying.

Esther looked at Cyrus with a smile, but he was still in his shocked state. He couldn't digest the fact that Reggie was his son. No wonder, he felt some pull towards this little mouse. Yeah… yeah… yeah… it's his little son but not the little mouse.

He stilled in his position at his son's words.

Man! What was this? Was this true? Was he dreaming or what? If he was dreaming he doesn't want to come out of his dream!? But… this was not his dream?! This was not a freaking dream!! It was real! The presence of Reggie was real, the emotional Esther was the living proof! His eyes watered at his sight. For more than two hundred years… he lived like a dead person at the loss of his wife's death and his unborn child's death. Now… he got his wife back and even he got his son back.

But… There were many questions in his mind. Every question was another complicated maze for him. Who was the person who tried to kill them? They managed to kill Raudra Muki when she was pregnant. This means… that man was someone close to either Esther or related to the person who was related to the person closer to Esther's people. Only one of the scenarios feels right. Because knowing the way to kill a Kshatra, that too the future Queen, was an almost impossible task. And that almost took the life of Cyrus. This means… he was closer to Kshatra's and Basilisk. This would say the answer to many unanswered questions.

And on the other hand, Cyrus couldn't understand… How and when did these things happen? Hos kula guru asks Shakti to do his things, If this thing happened to her, why would she not tell him? Why does she need to hide the truth of Esther's rebirth? And the secret of having Reggie's birth and soul with his Kula Guru was completely sealed. No one might have even expected this kind of thing from her. Cyrus realized that there were few things that his sister knew. Not a few things but many things. She knew a lot of things but she never revealed them.

He wondered why she was doing that? He wanted to ask her why she did that?  He wanted to ask her why she would separate the father and son for these many years.  As he felt that the questions were piling up one by one in his mind, he felt his mind was exploding with tension.

He wondered… How did Reggie come back to the earth realm? And how he ended up with the Brunette family? He also wanted to know whether his mix with the Brunette family was coincidental or not. If not the only loyal slaves of the Vyaghranakha suddenly became the father and mother of his son. There was something big that made this thing more complicated than it seemed to be.

Cyrus came back to reality when he heard the giggles of his wife and his son. He felt content seeing them like that. Esther's face held a rare genuine smile. And her red garnet-like eyes turned back to the brown color. They seemed to hold something shiny. Maybe this was what they call spark.

He got up from his seat and walked towards his wife and son. He settled himself in between them, making them pout at him at a time. Dammit! She was cute again! Cyrus… calm down… she was your wife. Cyrus was busy calming his racing heart at her cuteness.

Cyrus closed his eyes and pulled Reggie to him. After a second thought, he made him sit on his lap while making Esther hug him.

"I promise that you both won't be hurt again in this lifetime, ever again," Cyrus promised to them. This was the promise that he failed to fulfill but this time… he would do his best and will not let anyone hurt them. He paid a heavy price and was not able to recover from the shock even after so many years. But this time… he would fulfill it. If anybody wants to hurt his wife and son, they have to cross him. They could only touch them over his dead body.

"Cyrus…" she called out, forgetting the presence of Reggie for a moment.

She was touched by his promise. Esther wasn't strong enough to protect her family. She has to become strong till she protects her family.

Feeling him respond to her with his usual hmm… she smiled.

"I love you…" she said to him.

"I love you too…" he responded to her as he kissed the crown of her forehead.

"No one loves Reggie!" a little displeased voice gets them back to reality.

"Babe… mom loves you more than anything in this world!" Esther said with a smile. She moved forward and kissed his cheeks lovingly making him feel shy and blush. Reggie thought no one noticed his reaction, but Esther caught his every action.

"Daddy… love Reggie too," Cyrus said to him for the first in a tone filled with gentleness, warmth, and love. For Reggie, this was something new. He felt happy unknowingly. His red face turned into a ripe tomato making him look too cute.

"Aww… my baby is blushing. He is too cute," Esther teased Reggie. Reggie turned red as the second passed… but he was too cute with his blushing face. She wanted to pinch his cheeks, squish them with her palms to make him squishy.. Esther smiled widely at her son's antiques.
