107 4.31 The Morning After... (2/2)

”Well, first we going to finish this breakfast, then I'm going to call the part-time housekeeper to stock the items in the refrigerator and leave some money for her, then we are going to head to your uncle's place afterwards. How does that sound to you?”

”Well, let me do the groceries for you. You stay at home first, Aroon and leave the groceries to me. I would like to cook dinner this time after returning. I would like to make my mother's recipe of the spicy Thai chilli sambal that you sure gonna love eating whether it's cold or freshly heated up. Plus I'm going to cook herbal chicken soup tonight if you wish. ”

Hearing that Pornsak is going to do some groceries would leave me about some 30 or 45 minutes of 'me time' so I could call Max to appear and have a chat.

”That's a good idea. Be safe on the road later to the market, dear. I think you may leave right after 8 am where everyone had gone for school or work and the roads were not too busy then.”

”Alright, I'd be safe. Don't worry. I'd take some cash from you and pooled some from mine if it is not enough.”

”No worries about the money, I'd pass you plenty so you won't need to use yours. And also buy some fruits back as well... Its been some time since I tasted some fruits like the lychee, longan, rambutans, yellow watermelon...”

”Wah, you ah... You want to buy the whole fruit Market, is it? Ha... Ha... Ha... Don't worry, I just buy a bit of everything especially the Kerala Banana that you mentioned with the dark spotted skin and sweet tasting insides.”

”Haa... Haa... Haa... What to do... I love fruits and vegetables and I can eat almost every day with little or no meat at all with my meals. Nah... Here's 2000 THB. It should be enough to cover for the market expenses. Let me know if you need more.”

I pushed two pieces of 1000 THB on the table towards her and she slipped it into the cleavage of her breasts. What a convenient way to carry cash around in these days without getting pickpocket. I laughed at her antics and continued with the remaining of the breakfast.

After breakfast, I cleared the table and she gave me a big fat wet kiss on my lips and told me that she would be on her way to the market then. I sent her off to the main door and passed her my Honda Vario keys and told her the bike will start only when the brakes were depressed and ignition was on. Also, I reminded her that the side stand must be up before starting.

She nodded and proceeded to perform as she was told and the Honda Vario purred like a pussy cat and she throttled out from the driveway and headed down the main street. The market was only a 5 minutes ride from the house.

I went inside the house and picked my phone. I keyed in '*629#' and pressed send. A few moments later, Max appeared slowly as he integrates before my eyes.

”Good morning Sam, it seems you already learnt how to call me up. So what's up so early in the morning.”

I noticed Max was wearing a one-piece kind of silky 'dress' but was made for a man with an embroidered dragon on the front and a tiger at the bottom.

”Nice dress... Err... Suit you got there. What does it call and it looked kind of befitting for you.”

”Ah... You mean this. This is called Ancient Chinese Imperial Clothes. This was made for those martial artists that perform gravity-defying leaps through trees and deserts while wielding their mighty swords and perform sharp movements as they battle their nemesis.”

”Oh...it looks rather nice. Though I won't be caught dead wearing that in this hot summers day.”

”Where is that broad, Sam?” as Max glanced his head around and walked to the centre of the living room.

”She's off to the market to do some groceries and would be back by half an hours time. Alright, Max here is the situation. Today I would not be around much but I would be at her uncle's place to practise my new found skills at doing hand seals. I have no way to search for any information on it but somehow it relates to some kind of Japanese martial arts but with a connection to Buddhism. I think they were called Mudra or something.”

”Mudras eh... Its a form of hand signs that depict in greetings and song and dance. Let me see if I recollect something for you... These hand gestures were supposed to generate spiritual focus and power which then were able to be manifested in some external way, right? ”

”Yup, something like that Max. So any updates on the Leap yet?”

”There is one though but not confirmed as the chance of it is less than 1%. Give it another few more days and I will see if there are any changes that I need to notify you.”

”Thanks, Max. You really have been a great help. Be seeing you...”

”Toodle Doo, Sam... Catch up with you later.”

With that Max disintegrated and vanished in the air. I put the phone down and used a hand seal to summoned Fire Release and I can sense a psi energy build up immediately on my hand without much concentration needed. I slowly eased my hands and the energy dissipated.

”Nah... This is not the time and place to test out the forces from each hand seal. Better test them out at Pornsak's uncle's place then.”

I thought to myself as I kept the phone in my pocket and proceeded to clear the dining table.
