The atmosphere is definitely tense, with towels being tossed around, clothes being picked and separated, whispers and gasps fill the room. It seems no one wanted to talk aloud.
Keith: ahh, why is everyone just moving around? (Said Keith in a gentle and bored voice)
Today is yours, baby.
Keith: huh? This woman is holding my favorite towel! Why is she here? What is she doing here? Isn't she supposed to be busy with nothing?
Keith: no business today, I see.
Nara: you meant no chores today (the woman
Holding Keith's favorite towel)
Keith: no just asking about work.
Nara: oh is stopped a decade ago, a good son would remember.
Keith: oh, yes. (rubbing his head) I just got carried away.
Nara: try to avoid that happening too much, you may die if you don't focus during work.
Everyone in the room looked straight to the woman in shock.
Nara: no, I meant it in a good way. An advice from a veteran mother to an inexperienced son. Don't overthink it.
An awkward silence followed her statement and everyone can't stop looking at her direction including an offended Keith.
What a mother, whispered the maid holding Keith's second favorite towel before giving it to him.
A glare followed directed to the maid who gave Keith the towel and she hit his hands to make him drop the towel. An angry Keith lashed out at the madness that has been going on since he woke up, dismissing all the maids after service.
His mom walked up to him and offered him the towel she was holding, before patting his back, Keith took it with hesitation.
Nara: k you are growing up, today is your day don't let this silly women ruin your day.
Keith: no, I won't let you ruin it, it is not as if you didn't cause half of this chaos that's going on. I have been with this women for several years and nothing like this has ever happened.
Nara hit Keith's hand making him drop his favorite towel causing gasps. And now it is just as dirty as his second favorite towel with three percent of germs going in the moment it touched the ground, it is no longer 99 percent clean.
Keith: I knew this woman had no good intention coming in here today.
Keith: what do you want?
Nara: I wanted to greet my son going on his first solo mission, but I guess he doesn't care.
Silence struck the room.
Maid: Tea is ready sir.
Keith stared at nara before saying, "okay"
Nara: come my boy, let us go have dinner.
Keith: no, I will eat alone. Go and eat if you want to, I will go to the dining room.
Nara: come on Keith, I wanted to eat because of you, am not hungry. Am just happy for you.
Keith: okay.
Keith went to sit down on the chair opposite to another sit, +his mother occupied).
It was all quiet and the maids served the breakfast.
Nara: well, Keith. Today is a special day, you will remember forever. Prepare yourself and fulfill the mission then you shall get unending praise and attention. You will improve your rank and get higher. Your father would be proud of that. Try your best!
Keith: oh.
Nara: my, am so sorry. I should have never mentioned your dad.
Keith: no it's fine. I understand now that I have grown up. He has lots of responsibilities to take care of. I will not expect him to abandon them.
In Keith's mind he uttered the sentence "by raising me".
Nara smiled before laughing out loud.
Nara: I see that you have grown into an empathetic and great boy. You now know the world you live in, and you are not ready to change it, just live with it. That's impressive, Keith. I am very proud of you.
Keith: thanks. And I also want to make sure it is easy on.....
Nara: you are welcome. Keith, don't worry. Your father is fine, he is a bigger male than you remember? He can handle it himself, he is fine.
Keith: "how come she went from Keith dear to this. Her real attitude is coming out again".
Keith stood up after thinking about his mom's change in attitude.
Nara: Don't! Naro is moving away to do something repulsive.
Keith: what? How did you know Naro's my friend? No, what are you trying to do?
Nara: stupid boy, you doubt my intelligence too much.
Nara looked at a pissed Keith.
Keith: I am going, Keith started walking away, but Nara grabbed his arm. Keith looked at her hand touching him.
Keith: what do you want from me? Aren't you satisfied? Do you intend to...
Nara: no Keith. I do not want anything. I am sorry. Don't take it personally. I just thought I would inform you about that boy and why you should avoid him. Naro is bad and suspicious, don't....
Keith: enough!
Nara: what?
Keith: am leaving.
Nara: come on, Keith. Don't go yet. I dm your mother!
Keith walked away leaving Nara all alone by herself.
Keith: I will try my best, to avoid you.
