Chapter 20: Light As A Feather
"No, Kafi~ You're not allowed to make fun of mommy's weight~" My mother protested and lightly slapped my hand that groped her butt, as if she didn't want me to play around with something she wasn't proud of.
"Why would I make fun of you? I honestly think that the mother before me is as beautiful as the mother I saw back when I was in kindergarten." I said, which made my mother's eyes shine and her ears turn red.
"No, actually, that's wrong..." I decided to change my statement, which made my mother's face droop in an instant and sigh as if she already knew that what I said could never be true.
But before she could make any more of a sad face, I looked down at her and said with a charming smile on my face
"...What I said isn't true. As I think that as you grow older every year, your beauty and elegance also grow along with you...So, if we're talking about when mom was the most beautiful in my eyes, then it has to be the absolutely drop-dead gorgeous women I'm hugging right now, who simpy looks like a delicious treat."
What I said was true, as I wouldn't really be interested in a college version of my mom or a working adult version of mom and would only be interested in a mature woman who's been through her years and has earned her maturity and elegance over time.
The beauty that I seek simply can't be replicated by my younger women and can only be attained through age, like my mother before me, who's aged like fine wine.
"Oh Kafi~ You just know how to make a girl happy, don't you, you sneaky boy~...Especially with an old lady like me. You say the most perfect words that make me feel ten years younger and so much better about myself." My mother was overjoyed to see that someone out there still appreciated her beauty, which she had lost with her age, and snuggled onto my chest in sheer happiness.
My mother also did her bit by tightly holding onto my neck so that she didn't fall off from how fast I was spinning her in my arms.
"Kafi stop~ Kafi stop~ Mommy agress that you can carry me for how long you want, so please stop. Mommy's afraid you will hurt yourself.~" She begged me to stop while looking up at me with pleading eyes.
But I ignored her cries and continued to spin her around the kitchen like a child, while laughing out loud and looking like I was having the best time of my life.
"I won't stop! I can't stop! I'm simply so happy that I've reconciled with you after all these years of being distant with you that my feet are just moving on their own out of sheer happiness." I exclaimed in a merry mood as I spun my mother around like we were dancing in a beautiful meadow garden, to the sound of the birds chirping in the trees.
My mom also got infected by my joyful mood and said while chuckling with a playful smile on her ravishing face
"You're just like mommy, Kafi~ Even I can't help but want to dance around and get happy steps when I'm happy."
Seeing her son dance around so happily with her made her so happy and satisfied that she just laid her head on my shoulders and hummed a tune of her own to show how content she was with this moment, as if all the worries she had were all gone and she was finally at peace on my broad shoulders.
While my mother was having a wholesome and memorable moment with her son, I had already started to grope my mother's butt from the moment I started spinning her around.
