112 Never Stop The Adventure! (1/2)
Dream Rise House.
Inside a bedroom, Felicity was lying on the bed. She has recovered from the external injuries she suffered previously.
On a chair besides the bed, Zed was sitting.
”Are you truly fine?” Felicity asked.
”Yes,” Zed nodded his head, ”I'm sorry for worrying you.”
”What happened back then?” Felicity stared into his eyes to make sure he doesn't lie.
”A psychic mutant attacked me,” Zed knew he has to state some truth, ”Rest assured he would never trouble me again.”
”I see,” Felicity brought a pillow from the bed and without any warning, struck Zed with it.
”I didn't lie,” Zed backed away with a sore face.
”Now you didn't but what about the time at the cafeteria?” Felicity stood up from the bed.
”I could explain,” Zed tried to reason. He was fully exhausted after his other form spent all his energy.
”I don't want an explanation,” Felicity said as she took another pillow.

Evening.
Agatha's apartment.
Kiba was lying next to Agatha on a bed. She was reading a book with complete concentration.
Kiba's eyes moved from her face to her stomach. He placed his hand on her belly.
”Hope, I'm sorry for putting you in danger,” Kiba muttered in his heart, ”I would kill everyone who was responsible for today's incident.”
After thinking about the incident with a calm mind, he was sure the initial target was Zed and not Kiba. He mainly guessed this due to how the monk acted when Castor Damon's memories were played.
”There is something strange though,” Kiba contemplated further, ”He sounded like he knew about Hope even before my transformation, but yet he was startled by my transformation. Only after the transformation, he became greedy about my power.”
”What are you thinking?” Agatha placed the book on the table.
”Nothing much,” Kiba moved back, ”Would you like to go out for a dinner?”
”Not today,” Agatha stretched her hands, ”I'm tired.”
”We should just order delivery,” Kiba said.
He knew she was tired after using her powers in the morning when the pressure from dark clouds arrived.
Even he was tired but he has injected multiple energy serums to stay awake. He wanted to spend some time with Agatha before taking a rest.
”Yeah,” Agatha looked at him, ”No hunt today?”
”...No,” Kiba felt awkward by the words.
”I don't want you to confine yourself,” Agatha traced a finger in his hairs, ”Otherwise you might resent me and our child for stopping your pursuit of dreams”
”I never would,” Kiba disagreed.
It was his own decision to give priority to his role as a father more than the dreams he carried. He has a long lifespan and he believed he has all the time in the world to fulfill his dreams.
Even if he could not, it would be fine as long as he could become a good father.
”Maybe not,” Agatha said with a smile, ”But believe me parents do resent their children for their incomplete dreams.”
”.....” Kiba understood her words.
He would be lying if he said he hasn't thought about the effect of having a child on his dreams.Perhaps not today but maybe tomorrow he would resent them for binding him down.
The will of people change with time. The well thought out decisions of today might become regret of tomorrow.
There was no telling about the future.
”The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams,” Agatha repeated the words he has said when he shared his dreams with her, ”Surely you are not going to stop the biggest adventure of your life?”
”...”
”Besides there are husbands who are waiting to become good husbands,” Agatha said with a teasing smile, ”At least for their happiness don't stop your adventure.”
Kiba's eyes turned wide in astonishment.
”Or was it making a wife into a good wife?” Agatha continued in a teasing tone, ”You want a wife to complete her promise of making her husband happy, right?”
”...You know?!” Kiba's face was soaked with sweat.
He has never given her the business card of Wife Pleasuring Service Pvt. Ltd. He was shameless but not so shameless to give her the card during their affair or even before it.
They have known each other for years even though the affair occurred a few months ago. He knew her personality and she was rather good to him long before, so he couldn't bring himself to use the card.
”Yes,” Agatha brought out a crystal card from a drawer, ”You do have a gift with the words.”
”...Thanks?” Kiba didn't know whether it was an insult or a compliment.
”There are four promotional videos with that blonde woman,” Agatha activated the crystal card, ”I was most impressed with the one reserved for fiancee.”
”...”
The videos were directed at husbands, new wife, patron wife, and fiancee. Each video was shot with Natalie as the host who would try to recruit customers for Wife Pleasuring Service Pvt. Ltd.
She would use her sweet voice and 'facts' to lure customers to their non-profit venture. A service which offered endless benefits and that too free of cost.
Even Natalie was flushed red when Kiba brought the idea for fiancee. She had a hard time shooting the video with a straight face.
”There is something I wanted to ask,” Agatha placed the crystal card back.
”Yes?” Kiba was relieved she wasn't going to play those videos.
”I could understand your dream of sleeping with every beauty out there whether she is a virgin or not,” Agatha looked at him in the eyes, ”But I don't understand your dream of stealing others wife for an affair while their husbands die of envy and shame.”
