Chapter 10 - 9. Out of her mind

I have trained hard and studied hard as well to get the degree and training for Kung-fu. I have topped both the years and I am sure I will top the final exam as well ! It's just few months for me here and once the final exams finish, I will return to London in few months.

I didn't felt I was here for two and a half year and this is my last year here. I was too busy in training and studying that, I had no time to think of anything else.

I am glad that after the final exam I will return to UK and star working for my country; yes as an undercover agent, but serving is serving !

My mom has got out of her mind. She is continuously asking me if have a girlfriend ?

" Why do you keep asking me that mom ? "

I asked irritated.

" Don't act smart with me. Just answer my question ! "

She yelled.

" No mom, I don't have a girlfriend, fine ? "

I said irritated.

" Good. I am sending you a contact number and a photograph of a very beautiful girl. She too is in China. Call her and meet her. "

She said.

Is she like serious ? Am I a joke to her ?

" Mom ! "

I said in disbelief.

" What mom ? You are not finding anyone and now that I have found one for you, you are throwing tantrums at me ? "

She said raising her voice.

" But mom... "

I tried to defend myself.

" Just shut up. She is my best friend's daughter. Just meet her and talk to her. Get her like you back and return with her after your degree, understand ? "

She said and disconnected the call.

What the fuck ! What was that ? What does she mean by get her like me and return with her ? Is she some child that I will give her a chocolate and she will like me for that and will follow me around ?

She sent me the contact and photograph of the girl. I didn't even downloaded it nor did I saved her contact. I won't see her photo nor will I call her.

I can't ! I just can't think about anyone else than Aurora. And I won't think of anyone else; ever ! I will have to lie to mom that I called but she didn't picked up, next time when mom will call.

My teachers are all happy with my performance. They wanted me to apply for scholarship from first year. But my schedule is so tight, I was unable to give extra time for the scholarship exam.

They do curse me for letting them down and not preparing for it, but my moto isn't pleasing them !

And whatever I have done to achieve my moto is satisfactory for me and my coach. He visits me often to take follow-up of my progress and he is satisfied with with my progress so far.

He told me that, once we return to London, we will start our missions as nameless entities and find such national threats who are out of reach for the police and army and law as they are white collared criminals and put an end to their work for good !

He told me that he is searching for Kung-fu trainer for me there as well as, I will need to practice it regularly. Our army center have partner for me to practice boxing and karate but there is no one for Kung-fu. So, I will practice it at the Kung-fu training center.

I am so excited and eager to finish this degree already and get in real action as soon as possible; if only my mom will let me live peacefully ofcourse !

" What is it now, mom ? "

I said fade up of her continuous calls.

" What do you mean what is it now ? Can't a mother call her child to check up on him ? "

She said trying to emotionally blackmail me.

" You don't have to call me every hour to check up on me ! I am not defending border that you are this worried about my well-being ! "

I said trying hard not to yell out of irritation.

" Gosh ! You are... you are hurting my feelings, Vladimir ! "

She said pretending to be hurt. I know that woman inside out, she doesn't get hurt; she hurts people !

" Stop the act mom ! It's been only a few days you gave me the contact. Let me at least prepare myself before I call a complete stranger ! "

I said on edge of holding back real hard before my outburst.

" What do you have to prepare for ? Are you going to present your bio in ppt to her ? Is she your HR ? What the hell is wrong with you ?

Before giving you her contact, I asked you if you have a girlfriend and you said no ! Now just stop your drama and give her a call. Don't let me down in my best friend's eyes. "

She said pushing me to my limits.

" You care about your friend way too much ! What about your son ? "

I asked irritated.

" What about you ? I let you decide what you wanted to study, where you wanted to study, I even didn't denied you to have a girlfriend and even now, before pushing you to the unknown girl I asked if, you have someone and you denied !

What else do you want me to do ? Am I lacking as a mother for you ? Did you wanted a father to bond with so that, you could have told him what's on your mind ?

I even tried to be that father for you; but you were too proud to open up to a weak woman who couldn't gave you what you wanted !

I never wanted anything from you. I just wanted you to be happy; which I never saw you being ever.

Even back in school, all yours friends were happy and you weren't !

I thought I was forcing things on you and that's the reason you were always unhappy so, I stopped forcing or even tell things you to do. I let you do anything you wanted and yet... you weren't happy my son !

Even when you are doing what you wanted and where you wanted, you aren't happy ! And I am dying to see you being happy for once in your life !

And that's why I am ready to do anything in my power to make you happy. All I want is your happiness my precious child, nothing else ! "

Mom said crying.

Her voice and her emotions shook me inside out. I never thought she was suffering with me all the time.

I thought she didn't know about me being unhappy ! Though, she is wrong with the reason; she is right, I was never happy !

She thinks I wanted a father to bond with. Why would have I needed anyone else when I had my strong and unshakable super support ?

I was unhappy because I was madly in love with a girl, whom I never got a chance to talk for even once !

" Mom... "

I wispered with shaky voice.

I couldn't say anything anymore.

" I just want you to be happy my baby. "

She said sniffing.

" I AM happy mom ! Why won't I be ? You were always there with me for anything and everything. I never wanted a father to bond with ! Why would I, when got you ?

You are all I have always wanted mom and you were there ! Then why would...

Stop saying nonsense mom ! I was happy and I am happy.

It's just that, God made me this way that I can't express my happiness and so, you misunderstood my behavior nothing else ! "

I said sniffing.

" Don't you dare lie to me you shameless punk ! I am your mother. I know you even before you were born ! So, stop lying to me, got it ? "

She said.

" No mom, I am not lying ! I seriously never wanted a father ! You were more than enough to beat the shit out of me, I didn't wanted you to have a crime partner ! "

I said trying to lighten up she mood.

She chuckled at my words.

" You indeed are a shameless punk ! "

She said chuckling again.

" Mom, please don't think stupid things on your own, I am here for that ! I was, am and will always be happy with you being there to support me ! "

I said genuinely.

" I am not going to live till the day you die so, find a companion to be your support till that day ! And you aren't doing that so, I am doing it for you ! So, just call her and meet her ! "

She said normally as if, she wasn't crying just a moment ago !

Gosh this manipulative woman !

" I an hanging up mom, please don't give me the audition for your melodramatic acting, you have got your your younger son for that. He is going to be the movie director not me !

And once and for all, stop bothering me to call her again and again. Bye. Goodnight and even after you used this dirty trick to emotionally blackmail me; I love you ! "

I said and without listening to her response I disconnected her call.

My god, I almost fell for her trap !

How could she do this to me ? So, what did she said, was a truth or a lie ? Did she really knew I was sad all this time ? Did she really felt that I wanted a father ?

Gosh, my head is spinning ! She will drive me crazy someday ! I shouldn't fall for her trap in anyway.

She can't use our so called sad past for me to meet some random girl and marry her and return with her to my hometown !
