31 Going Home (1/2)
”Mother!”
”Mother!”
The girls lost their usual self-composure and mystique and ran towards the beautiful lady that stood next to Headmaster Fahim and Elder Ragna. However, to the surprise of all who paid attention, the now catatonic Hittan stood dead still. Eyes wide, mouth open and brain in a loop!
'Mother… Mother…? Mother…??'
It was not that someone of similar appearance to the twins could not be their mother. A relative to the girls was a natural a.s.sumption. However, his mother-in-law clearly saw his dream as well! The things they did... How would anyone react to such a revelation?
But such an expression of shock could hardly go unseen by the now budding powerhouses that surrounded Hittan.
”Brother, Brother, are you okay?” Edan stopped to look at him in wonder.
”Boss?” Squinting his eyes to follow where Hittan was looking Falkner tried to connect the dots. He had also taken up the habit of calling Hittan boss as he thought Hittan had too many t.i.tles to follow his name.
”Sahar, What's wrong with Hittan? Ona stood in relative shock at Hittan's exaggerated response to G.o.d he knows what!
”Ona, he's looking directly at her. The lady that has not stopped looking at him from the moment we stepped out of the portal.” Gesturing with her eyes Sahar informed the rest of the team.
”Mother, what's wrong?” Kaija looked at her mother curiously.
”Yes, mother. Are you okay? Kaia mirrored her sister until she looked back and spotted Hittan.
Seeing the direction of her gaze. The girls quickly came to an unnecessary conclusion.
”This is. .h.i.ttan, mother. Please don't mind his manners!”
”Yes, mother. Let us introduce you.”
”No need. We are already familiar.”
…
Not sure of what was really happening Elder Fahim had called Lagina over to his side. Not too long after, Hittan came to his senses and started approaching the group. Thankfully his cla.s.s with the exception of his team had a.s.sumed that they had business with each other and left the training ground. Now leaving the two groups of people on opposing sides of the training field.
”Lagina, Kaija and Kaia, all three of you… wait. Even Cale and the rest of team New Hope have achieved Tier 3 Diamond Rank now. Very impressive.”
”Yes, headmaster. It was. .h.i.ttan's personal guidance that made it all possible for us to advance so quickly, within such a short period of time.” Lagina gave Hittan a gentle smile. Sadly Hittan walked straight towards Lady Samara with a straight head and missed it. However, Lady Samara did not.
”Mother?” A question was suggested by the tone of his first word to their mother.
”Hittan! What are you asking, of course, she is our mother.” Kaia pouted in protest.
”We meet face to face son-in-law.”
Bowing immediately! Hittan quickly responded with a smile.
”Yes, mother-in-law.”
The blus.h.i.+ng girls were red all the way to the tips of their ears!
”Mother! What are you saying we never said anything like tha…”
”Don't bother to hide it. Your face and pendants are glowing red. Clearly, you already decided and he has no intention of letting either of you go.”
'Based on her statement about the pendants either she's watching the girls or she knows more about the future.' This thought immediately popped into Hittan's head and he surely had questions already.
”But what about Father? What if he disagrees?” Kaija dropped her head with her question.
”Well, he's asked for you both to return. To complete your inheritance and your engagement ceremony to the Generals' sons.”
Bang!
Everyone felt as though they were in an inferno! As it seemed a 4th sun had descended upon them!
