Chapter 152

"Did you miss me? My dear son?"

"..."

Kazir stared at the woman before him. The two of them were walking through the park. He felt something odd when his mother called him son instead of his name.

He felt that the woman hadn't aged at all. She still had that angelic smile. Her skin looked smooth with almost no wrinkles. Maybe her last husband was quite wealthy for her to maintain a beautiful lifestyle.

"Ms. Cohen, do you remember the last time we met?"

"Hm? Let me guess..." She touched her lips and thought.

"Ten years ago, I guess." She giggled.

"It's been sixteen years. The last time I met you was when I was 13."

"Aha, that means you'll be 24 this year!"

The woman smiled.

"I'm 29 years old."

"Fufu, of course I know. I'm just kidding."

She giggled. But Kazir could see that the woman was lying. He knew that Eliza Cohen had no idea about his age.

Kazir clenched his teeth. Honestly, he didn't know why he agreed to this meeting.

He was a director and he could tell if someone was acting or not. Eliza might be a good 'actress', but she couldn't escape Kazir's gaze.

"So, what is the reason you are here?"

"Oh, isn't it obvious? I want to see you. I miss my son!"

She approached him and hugged him, but Kazir didn't react. He was just unmoved.

Eliza noticed the awkwardness and stepped back.

"Son, you have grown up so well. I can't believe my son is handsome, tall and rich. A successful film director, fufu."

Again, she didn't speak his name.

"..."

He just stared at him. Kazir knew that this woman had a reason for wanting to see him.

Judging by her appearance, the least she needed was money. She looked like a rich madam who owned a business.

"Ms. Cohen--"

"Mom, call me Mom." She said with a smile.

"Ms. Cohen--"

"Mom."

"Ms. Cohen--"

"Call me Mom, son."

"... Mom."

"Like what?"

"That you're a smart guy. You won the spelling bee when you were 9 years old."

"That's Aaron, not me."

"Really? Wow, I thought it was you." Eliza was surprised. It seemed she had misremembered...

"Anyway, it's not important. I heard that you are going to make another movie next year. Why don't you let your sister be in it? I want a supporting role with at least five lines."

Kazir laughed. This whole charade was stupid. Very stupid.

'Why am I even here?'

At first he want to leave. But he knew how annoying his mother was. One of the reasons why their father was so broken that he lost himself in alcohol.

'No... I know the answer to why I'm here.'

Kazir hoped that his mother would change. That his mother would show a little bit of affection. To see even a sincere smile.

But what he saw was utter garbage of a woman.

Suddenly he felt his heart breaking. Even breathing was difficult.

His face contorted as he looked at them.

"Son, are you all right?"

Eliza approached him, but Kazir stared at her with a cold look.

"Don't fucking touch me. You despicable bitch."

"W-what?"

Eliza and Mara were both stunned. They had heard that Kazir Grey was a gentleman and a good person. But the man in front of them was the complete opposite of a good person.

Kazir's look could kill a person.

"Mrs. Cohen, no, Mom, tell me. Why did you name me Kazir?"

He searched for the meaning of his name and it means "another name for God/abundance".

This was the last time Kazir wanted to hear Eliza's answer.

Suddenly, the woman turned serious. She recalled the suffering she faced back when she was pregnant. The lonely times. Her love slowly turned into hatred. She remembered why she named his second son Kazir.

"Because I hate God."

Finally, Kazir saw honesty in his mother's eyes. He laughed and turned around.

He was tired. He didn't want to talk to his mother ever again. He walked away with a great disappointment in his heart.

+++++

[I'll be honest, I didn't know the meaning of Kazir/Kasir until last week (now a few months). I just made the name up without much thought. I was actually shocked when I realized its meaning, so I decided to add it to the plot since the meaning is quite heavy.]

[If you read my other novels, you can see that most of the MCs have the letter K in their names. Mikael, Keenan, Keith, Kazir, and Calix(sounds K)]

[I know I'm adding too much drama, but let me cook, guys. I need something to cause a breakup between Reese and Kazir. The way for the MC to have a relationship with other girls].
