Chapter 8: Meditating for 1 Full Day Without Realizing It (2/2)

He was stinking a little, since he stayed in the rain and then in the sun. The stench left his body making people not want to approach him not only because of his cold eyes but also because of the unbearable smell.

Amon was already used to this type of treatment and didn't mind a bit, he continued to walk as if nothing had happened.

It took him exactly an hour to get home.

When he arrived, Sonia cried.

”Amon!” She hugged him but wrinkled her nose.

”I am back,” Amon said indifferently.

”What do you mean, I'm back? You spent a day and a whole night out of the house without warning, and you came back in this state... Where the hell were you all this time?” Sonia was angry and worried all at the same time.

”On the mountain,” Amon replied without expression.

”On the mountain? What were you doing? By the way, Julius is still looking for you, I need to call him.” Sonia said with tears.

She shakily picked up the phone and called. The call was accepted and she told him what happened.

Julius sighed in relief and said he would let Maisa and Julia know.

After that, Amon looked at Sonia and said, ”May I come in?”

”Yes, yes, you stink, go take a shower first; don't worry, I'll get you clothes and a towel. Wow, you smell like carrion.” Sonia covered her nose with her finger as she spoke awkwardly.

”Ohh...” Amon opened his mouth, and simply let out an indifferent sound and headed towards the bathroom.

Sonia sighed and shook her head then went upstairs.

Amon went into the bathroom and removed his clothes. Turning on the shower, he lets the water fall into his body.

He felt like he was peeling off shed skin that had spread on some parts of his dirty body like a snake.

That didn't shake him. He was still calm as he washed, and took the soap to scrub.

”Knock...Knock...”

”Amon, mom is coming in, I'll leave your clothes and towel on the sink.” After that, she left.

Amon stayed a while longer to get all the dirt off of his body and turned off the shower.

Coming out of the bathroom stall, he saw a blue towel, a simple set of clothes, and boxer briefs.

Amon dried off and wore his clothes. It was just a short-sleeved white T-shirt and navy blue shorts.

He left the bathroom after putting the towel in the laundry basket.

”Julius, Maisa, and Julia are in the room, they want an explanation, Amon. You can't behave like that.” Sonia scolded him and sighed wearily.

”Oh okay.” Amon put his hands in his shorts pocket and followed Sonia into the living room.

”Fool!” Maisa screamed as soon as she saw him and turned away.

Julius showed concern when asking, ”Amon, were you're not feeling well here, so you left?”

”That 's not it.” Amon coldly denied it.

”Speak correctly, why are you so cold?” Maisa yelled, slamming her hands on the table.

”... I only know how to talk like that,” Amon said indifferently.

”Fool, you are a big and huge fool!” Maisa screamed and ran away.

Julia smiled helplessly as Amon sat across from them as if nothing had happened.

”Amon, explain, what happened?” Julia asked softly.

”I went to the mountain to train, and I lost track of time,” Amon said unconcerned.

From the way he said it, it didn't seem like a lie, but if someone doesn't notice an entire day pass while training on the mountain, isn't it dangerous anyway? After all, there are powerful animals living in the mountains.

”Next time, come back or call and let me know, Amon; I know it's hard to see us as your family since we only met for a short time. But when I say we care about you, I mean it; so don't do it again, okay?” Julius said from the bottom of his heart.

”Oh that's fine, I won't do it again,” Amon promised.

”Good, good, good.” Julius was happy and got up and patted Amon on the shoulder a few times.

This time Amon didn't back down. He sensed Julius' concern, and he didn't ignore it.

”Can I go up and sleep? I'm tired.” Amon said, aloof.

”Sure, go ahead. Tomorrow is a new day. By the way, tomorrow your mother and I will go to your school to see you in the championship, do your best!” Julius gave him a thumbs-up and winked.

”Oh okay,” Amon replied indifferently and left.

”This boy.” Sonia sighed for the thousandth time.

”He's like that, but he's a good boy. See, he's very respectful and he even listened to my advice; we just have to take it easy with him, love.” Julius hugged her as he said with a wide smile.

Sonia felt like the luckiest woman in the world. After all, if she were with any other man they would have already kicked Amon out of the house.
