Ash walked to ward where his mother was resting. He entered the room his mother was sitting on bed watching a kids show and eating fruits.
When his mother saw ash entering she quickly put down the fruit bowl on table and tried to stand up but she was stopped by ash.
"Mom sit back" ash said
"What about the wound on you thumb?" His mother worriedly looked at his thumb . It was wrapped up in band.
"It's fine now so sit back mom" ash sat on the chair took the fruit bask keto and knife but was snatched by his mother
"No knife from now on" his mother said puting the knife further from ash
"Huh why? " Ash asked looking at his empty hand.
"A nurse will come and she will do peeling and cutting fruit" his mother said while taking bowl of peeled fruits then she added " you should not do it for your partner too understand?"
Ash was to say something when his filled his mouth sliced oranges. Ash chewed on . His mother continued with her lecture to not use knife or how it can be dangerous. Ash silently listened to his mother's nagging while eating fruits fed by his mother.
' I shouldn't play on having real wound to make excuse to visit Doctor roy' ash cried inside as he thought about his mother's not stoppable nagging.
And after that whenever ash visited his mother he was constantly harassed with nagging from his mother. But on the fifth visit his father saved him from his mother's nagging.
"Ash I will take care of your mother you should start preparing for your college" ash's father said while closing the door ward room.
"Okey dad" ash said and left the hospital and took a cab to his home .
' I need to complete application for my college so the next month I can play with my little sister' ash thought to himself.
When he arrived at home he quickly turned to check college application forms.
He had an unread mail when he opened the mail and saw the same name he read on the report District z R-AO college.
This is the no: 1 college in city M in which there are 200 colleges and it only accepts top 100 students applicants and normally these applicants are either alphas or omega and betas are only in rare case plus they are always the last list but never ever there was case of beta applicant having top position.
'I am omega though but I worked my ass off for that position' ash thought while filling his application and submitted it.
'but if a beta gets top position there will lots of eyes on' ash thought
"Is there a way to make it out of college with out attracting any attention" ash talked to himself
"It sucks" ash was irritated as he thought of having a possibility of gaining unwanted attention.
"I just wanted to get project access" ash mumbled.
The project ash was talking about was actually about having his own lab in city M which was given to only top student . Ash needed it for his secret experiments because unlike his high school dorm apartment he will be sharing his dorm apartment with someone else so he needed his personal space and that led him to stick his ass on his study desk for a whole year that he didn't even call his little brother on vacation to play with him.
'But I got a personal lab that I will be using in my college year' ash chuckled
"Now that I am done with submitting with forms and I need to arrange things and ..." Ash said then he took out a small bottle from his space box.
"This need to be filled " ash added.
Then he went to study table and sat on the chair. He unwrapped the band from his thumb and reopened his wound the blood started to drip from his thumb to his palm. He filled the fourth of small bottle and placed the bottle on table and took out the first aid kit . Before he wrapped his thumb with band he healed his wound and soon the cut disappeared.
Looking at his wrapped thumb ash mumbled
' sure enough no matter how many times I use healing ability I can't seem to be used'
Self healing is the one of rarest ability but the one that can heal others is non existent but here ash is using this ability like some kind fun. If people were to know about this ability surely one can already guess that how much fame or danger they attract but it's fine because ash has no thoughts on revealing his ability not even when he will die because if people found out not even the piece of his hair will be found safe from human experiment.
Ash took another bottle from his space box . This time the bottle was filled with dark liquid (2.5 litre). The content of liquid was actually nectar from a kind of spiritual life plant-S class that develops fast growth harmonies and anti poison substance that can save a human if they were poisoned or if they had any physiological health problem. In the field of medicine it was called patients savior.
Ash mixed 5 drops of blood in the black liquid.
'half litre gets one drop so 2.5 litre gets 5 drops.' ash mixed as he measured.
After mixing liquid ash took out a herbal pot and filled the dark liquid in it and covered the pot with lid and went down the kitchen. In the kitchen three maids was preparing dinner.
"Young master do you need something?" One of the maid said to ash as they saw him coming to the kitchen with a pot.
"Can I use the oven?" Ash said
"Sure young master but currently the oven is filled so if you wait for a few minutes," the maid said turning to the oven.
Ash looked at oven being used for baking chocolate cup cakes. His mother's favorite cup cakes .
"I will wait over there call me when it done" ash pointer to the sink .
"Yes young master" the maid replied
Ash went to the sink and put the pot in the sink and and turned the tap on . The water was splashing on the pot making it cold but not wet. This herbal pot was no ordinary pot so being splashed with water only maintained condition of the liquid inside it without being spoiled.
The other maid who was cutting vegetables a little further from the sink saw their young masters action. She wondered what type potion was their young master making. When the maid looked back she saw the other maids having same thoughts as her but none of them questioned.
Ash knew about their little action but didn't care
' that's why I needed my own lab I can't tell others what I am making it's good that father is not home so I can easily make it'
After waiting for two minutes the maid told ash that he could use oven. Ash turned off the tap and put the pot inside the oven . Once the pot started to heat up and kind of strange surrounded the room of course the only person who smelled it was ash . The maid gave no reaction they were busy doing there stuff. The reason the pot started to have strange smell because once the pot heated up all the freezed herbs stared to mix up with it and color of liquid turned from dark black liquid to dark green liquid. Once the medicine was ready ash took the pot and went back the maids started to talk among themselves.
"There was no smell " one maid said
"Did our young master fail?" Other maid said
"I saw when young master opened the lid and there was dark green liquid" an other maid said
"Doesn't the dark color and no smell mean failure in making any type of potions or maybe our young master is experimenting on something"
"That's possible our young master is smart"
"Yes let's make young master's favorite food to cheer him."
Other maids and they all started to make ash's favorite food in hope that he will not feel down because of failing in making any type of potion. Ash who was standing on the door of kitchen listening to chit chat of maid chuckled
'sure there is no problem' he thought and went back to his room.
Ash filled the cup sized bottles with dark green liquid and put them all into big box.
"50 bottles should be enough " he said while puting the box into space box.
Ash put off the gloves he was wearing while filling the bottles at the same his watch was giving ringing.
Ash looked at his wrist turned on the screen . He saw a message from an unknown number. He was going to ignore it but checked it
Ash was shocked when he saw the content of message. He quickly deleted the message but noted the senders contact number.
That night ash didn't come out for dinner. All the servants in mansion were worried especially the kitchen maids who thought their young Master was sad because of failing into making potion but that was what they thought but the real reason except for ash no other person knew.
But What was in the message that made ash so restless ?
The night passed and the next day ash was lying on his bed watching the sun light filling his room slowly. Ash stood up his whole body ached as he didn't have a wink of sleep. He went to rest room and washed his face . Looking at his reflection in the mirror he saw big dark circles under his eyes. His hairs were messed up. He took a cold shower to cool off . After taking shower he wore black hoody paired with black pants and black jogger shoes. He put on his watch then he looked in mirror to see his face. His face looked tired high lighting his dark circles. He covered his eyes with his hands when removed his hands his face was back in to bright looks. There was no hint of tired face or dark circles.
Ash went down and saw the worried look of maids and other servant so he sat on the dining table and asked his breakfast. The maid quickly served ash with morning breakfast.
After finishing his break fast he left the mansion in his car and drive to the AS bar hotel.
At AS bar hotel
Ash parked his car at parking lot and went to elevator. He used finger print to use elevator which directly took him to 15th floor. He walked to ward a particular room number. He stoped and read the room number 307 and entered .
Inside the room was filled with luxury aroma and the furniture inside was no less in comparison with it scent. On the left hand side was all types drinks and other side was decorated unique spiritual plants used as decorations in the middle of them were high quality sofas in circle.
Ash sat on the sofa and waited. Soon a blonde man appeared who was wearing branded coat.
The man approach ash and said
" How may I serve you customer?"
"Call Jack now" ash ordered
The man left the room and soon came back with jack.
"You can go back and continue your work" jack said to the Blondie man
The man nodded his head and left the room . Jack walked toward ash and greeted him.
"Master zan"
"Did you got any report on Juan from Ashley?" Ash inquired
"No" jack answered
"What about the other thing I asked you before?" Ash asked again
"Yes young master " jack answered and opened his space box and took out a square metal box (SMB) that had a round luminous line on the top.
"Here" he gave it to ash
Ash took the SMB from his hand and checked it then he put it inside his space box. Then he took out a paper and pen and wrote down something and gave it Jack.
"Tell Ashley to find all the information on this number" ash said then he added
"Tell her this is urgent"
"Okey master" jack said then he left the room .
Ash laid down on the comfy sofa and thought 'who?'
Ash closed his eyes and guessed the number of people who could knew about that incident.
The incident that changed his whole life for a better good or become his worst nightmare.
Such a horrific memory just what triggered it appear on the surface from being buried in the depth of his memories for 6years.
