Chapter-2<The Genius Boy-2>
After about 2 hours, Sebastian closed his book. Then he went towards his bathroom and started preparing for the day. While he could also see light coming from the adjacent room, signifying that his mother was also awake.
Jenny, Sebastian's mother who just woke up can hear that her son had already woken up. Thus she started panicking. She knew that her son was not like a person who would just barge into her room like that. He was a polite boy and would always knock before coming into her room. But still, she was panicking as she was holding a bloody handkerchief in her hands. While traces of blood could be seen on her nose. Thus she instantly started cleaning herself up…
The duo of the mother and son started their daily routine. After Sebastian had freshened up and had a bath, he came out of the bathroom in his boxers. He then went to their kitchen and started cutting onions. It was part of his daily routine.
His mother was so busy, that she could not prepare breakfast and after that lunch. That is why her mother would make a lot of food in the morning. And that food would become their dinner, breakfast, and lunch. This way she saved a lot of time. And Sebastian as a good son would make sure to cut the vegetables before her mother would enter the kitchen. While also he would make sure that he knead a smooth dough for chapatis as well.
After getting ready for work, Jenny came into the kitchen and started preparing the food. While she did that, Sebastian went back to his room and then changed into his uniform for school…
After eating breakfast, both mother and son duo came out of their house and started walking toward their school. As they got out of their house, they could hear that everyone had woken up. Many people were coming out and heading to their respective jobs.
Their house was located nearby the school and thus every day they would simply walk towards the school…
"How are your studies going Sebastian?" Jenny asked her son while they were walking. Jenny knows that it would be beneficial for Sebastian to be able to understand and speak English as it is the most spoken language in the world. Thus every day while going to school, she would have a conversation with her son in English so that she could enhance his English speaking capabilities.
"It is fine mother. Uh… I studied, I mean I completed my science syllabus this morning." Sebastian said.
"Good. What about your other subjects? Do you need help in any of them?" Jenny asked.
"No mother. I don't need any help right now." Sebastian said.
"And there is one other thing. I couldn't help but notice that your birthday is just around the corner. So, what would you like for your birthday this year?" Jenny asked.
"Oh… Can I get the collection of Song of Ice and Fire?" Sebastian asked.
"Ice and Fire… Is that some sort of novel?" Jenny asked.
"Yes. It is a novel in which… Um… There is a pretty famous series made based on the novel. That is why I am interested in them." Sebastian said.
"Hm… I never heard about such a series. But you know what, I will think about it." Jenny said. While inwardly she was thinking that she should probably research that book. See to it whether they are suitable for a 10-year-old to read or not.
Like that both mother and son duo came to the school….
…
As Sebastian came to school, he saw a lot of kids wearing matching uniforms of his school. He saw some students coming from their bicycles while some were coming to school with their parents. Sebastian noticed one girl around his age, getting out of a luxurious car. And both of her parents were in the car with her. Seeing that Sebastian looked at her mother.
He could see the resemblance between the little girl and their parents. One way or another the girl resembled her parents. This started to make Sebastian think about his parents. He had never seen his father. His mother didn't have a single picture of his father with her. This always had made him curious about his father. He was a boy with black hair and very fair skin. While his mother had dark brown skin. Seeing this, Sebastian always wonders about what his father used to look like.
As they got to the gate, Sebastian went in first and headed toward his classroom. Whereas Jenny was stayed behind as she was greeted by some of the parents of the students. Like always she was about head towards the staff room. She needed some papers that were kept on her desk in the room, then she needs to head out to her classroom. That was her plan. But before she could act on it, she was called out by someone…
Some man called out her name which made her turn around…
"Miss Jenny?" Jenny looked behind. And saw that a middle-aged man was standing behind her. That man was wearing a formal two-piece black suit. Jenny thought that maybe this man was the parent of some kid. She looked behind and saw that Sebastian had already been inside the school. So she turned around and talk to the man…
"Yes, how may I help you?" Jenny replied in English.
"My name is Prakash. I am a lawyer. And I wanted some of your time to talk to you about your son." The man said.
"I don't understand," Jenny replied.
"I am here for your son. His father wants to meet him." the man said. As soon as Jenny heard what the man said, the color drained from her face.
"His father is dead," Jenny replied in fear.
"No, he is not. And he wants to meet his son." the man said. Hearing this Jenny understood that this man was sent by that man. And there was no way in hell that she would let his son meet that monster.
"Who are you?" Jenny asked again.
"As I said before. My name is Prakash. And I am a lawyer. And I am here on behalf of my client who wants to meet his son." He said.
"That would never happen…" Jenny replied.
"Mam, you know who are you dealing with, right? Do you want to stand up to that man?" Prakash said as he wants to remind Jenny about the man that they were talking about.
"You stay away from me and my son. I will never let that man close or get near my son. Get the hell out of here before I call the police. I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU OR YOUR BOSS. I AM WARNING YOU NEVER COME NEAR ME OR MY SON!" Jenny screamed.
