21 Once again
A monster like me has no right to be happy.
I am a Monster, "I know that"
But only for a minute, I wish that I could feel what it is like to be a human.
Even though it might be what fate has in store for I just wish for a single moment of joy.
I can pretend to be okay but..
"This doesn't feel right"
I wish I could bring back my happiness.
But that is impossible unless... I can repel whats inside me
"Okay!! Moping around here is not a good thing. I must meet Granule and Ray" Luix tried to comfort himself but that shred of sadness in his body didn't even moved an inch.
"Miss Nurse could you please let me meet my friends."
Luix wanted to meet Granule and Ray and help them to move on.1)
"I can't let them be worried over something so little. They must continue their journey even without me"
But the opposite of Luix's expectation the nurse replied with a worried tone.
"You can't! Doctor says that you need a proper rest for a day before getting to meet someone"
There was a clear worry in her voice. She couldn't let him get triggered once again otherwise he job is as good as over. She couldn't afford to offend the Volt family.2)
"Please don't get worried. This is on my own accord. If something happens, it will be due to my own foolishness. Please." Luix tried to calm the nurse down . He can't afford a day's rest for his friend's journey.
The nurse finally gave in with a sigh.
"Sigh...Okay but only for a moment."
"Thank You" Luix gave a hearty smile to nurse which caused her to blush a bit.
The nurse went out of Luix's room. Outside she saw three people waiting for Luix with a tense expression. One male and two female. She immediately recognized the older female as Miss Anna Mavis immediately.
She went toward Ray and Granule immediately and told them Luix wanted to meet him.
"Excuse me but you two are called. Please go meet him"
The two went to meet Luix but there was one person left.
"What about me?" Asked Anna or should we say Luix's mother.
"Ah! He...doesn't know. t.that Miss is here.." Suddenly the nurse's feet went soft due to the aura radiated by Luix's mother.
"Did that brat seriously forgot about his own mother. And here I was worried about him!!"
Anna did say the truth. She was worried about Luix so she left her work and came as soon as possible. She had worried 'THAT' was gonna once again repeat. She and Viktor just wanted their son to be happy and rehabilitate well by letting him go on a journey but it seems that somethings cannot be changed. But she was little happy that he made some friends.
"Sigh.. After he finishes meeting with his friends, tell him his mother had came and wishes that he won't do something stupid. And also tell him to have fun too" The nurse that looked up at Anna was slightly stunned. How can someone be beautiful!!
"Uh!! S.Sorry I was slightly dazed but I will definitely deliver this message to him. Please rest assured Miss" The nurse felt that she definitely embarrassed herself by staring at other but how could she help herself.
Inside Luix's room
When The duo came inside the room, the sunlight directly shined upon Luix making him look like some otherworldly beauty. Both of them blushed slightly. They at first didn't pay attention to Luix's appearance but carefully inspecting, Luix indeed is very handsome.
Luix gently smiled.
"Come sit. Don;t keep on standing there" Luix urged them to sit beside him.
"Are you Okay... The doctor said that you need rest. Is it fine for us to be here" Ray not waiting for other immediately asked.
"Ugh! How can someone be as gullible as you. Aren't you supposed to be like,'What was that' or 'Please tell everything without hiding anything to us' or 'Please don't leave us in the dark'. Why are you so kind" A droplet of tear fell down. As if the dam that had kept all his tears had been broken, tears kept falling without stop.
Luix wiped of his tears while continuing.
"Let me tell you a story of a boy. This boy was very special as he saw everything around him in Black and White. He was a very caring and loving child doted on by everyone on his family. Even though his parents were busy, they would always find time to care for him. He didn't wanted to trouble his parents with his achromatopsia so he kept quiet about it. And that's how he grew up."
Granule not understanding what achromatopsia is kept quiet while pondering but Ray was different.
"So? What is the meaning of the story? How is it related to you?" Ray like an idiot just kept on asking Luix which Luix didn't seemed to be bothered with.
"Let me finish first you idiot!"
"Luix when did you started becoming so vulgar and straightforward. Weren't you so shy when we first met?" asked Granule. She had to bring Ray towards the Light. She couldn't help but be bothered with Ray's low iq.
"Oh! That was just all an act. I didn't trust both of you so... I acted like that. Wasn't my acting fabulous. With my acting I could even be nominated for poke-oscar.. Hahaha" Luix finally spit out the truth.
"Luix don't stray of the conversation. Your story continue it." Ray urged Luix as he had to know his secret. He can't help but feel bothered being kept in the dark. He didn't even cared about the change in personality.
"I almost strayed off!!"
Suddenly the air around became heavy. The two felt that they might get squashed due to the pressure radiated.
"It goes like this. I."
