Icy Goddess Chapter 13
“Casper the ferret”
A/N: It’s the first time I made a sketch or artwork for a chapter! It turns out great to do so! Also; I made Kuai looks younger ^.^ oh! One last thing! Please imagine the thing I drew is a ferret not a weird-looking cat 😅
Selviya woke up earlier than usual. She quickly washed her face and brushed her hair. She looked at her phone. There were unread messages and missed calls. She gave a perplexed look, she knew the caller was her mum and she sent her message about how is she now and she must come to get her pet, Casper, He had been causing trouble for her parents.
Selviya quickly put on her clothes and rushed to get outside the temple to go to her home. In her dimension.
On her way; she saw Cyrax and Smoke eating breakfast together. They smiled once they saw her.
“Good morning Selivy!” Cyrax greeted.
“Good morning Cy!” Selviya greeted back.
“Top of the morning to ya!” Tomas said, mimicking the British accent.
Selviya only chuckled at this. Cyrax wasn’t having it; he gave Tomas a deadpan look. He doesn’t want Selviya to be mocked for her accent, Tomas gulped at this. However, Selviya doesn’t see it that way.
“Rise and shine Smokey!” Selviya greeted back.
“Aren’t you going to have breakfast!” Cyrax asked.
“Sorry, I need to do something right now!” Selviya apologized, “see ya!”
“Okay then!” They both said in unison.
Selviya walks as fast as she can, she misses her parents and Casper too.
Selviya starts up her car, She looks at the fuel gauge, it is near the E. She hopes she can make it near the nearest gas station.
She used her Crystal Silvernium to teleport to the nearest gas station. There she can fuel up her car and buy breakfast.
To her luck; the were no full queues in the gas station, so she drove front so that she could fuel her car and pay for it.
Selviya got out of her car to take one of the gas pumps, she took the one that was for her car.
She put the pump inside the gas cap, she took out her phone while waiting for the gas pump to fill her car.
When the process is done. Selviya put her phone inside her pocket, she went to pay for the gas. Then she wants to buy breakfast from the store near the gas station.
Inside the convenience store. There is a small section that sells donuts and coffee, She went there and ordered a strawberry donut and a hot cappuccino. The worker hastily made coffee and prepared her order in a small brown bag.
“Have a good day ma’am!”
“Thanks! You too!”
It didn’t take long for her to have her breakfast. She paid for it then she left it to her. She breathes with comfort and happiness. She misses her parents so much.
She was so hungry that she devoured her donut before reaching her parents' house. The coffee is too hot for her to be drank downed hastily.
She reached her parents' home. She got out of her car then she turned it off with her key.
With coffee in her hand. She is quite ready to meet them, In her heart she knows that her mouth will make her hear words she doesn’t want to hear, Like she is a careless pet owner.
She buzzed the buzzer and waited for her mom or dad to open the door. Her mom opened the door for her, she was met with the same look her mom always gives her. A forced smile.
“Top of the morning to you Mom!” Selviya greeted, She gave a warm smile.
“Good morning daughter,” her mom greeted back.
As soon as her feet get inside the house. A white furry thing sprinted its way into her and jumped into her, Thus making her fall near the entrance.
“Casper!” She squealed.
Casper eagerly kissed and hugged her. He loves Selviya so much, one can tell by looking at it. Selviya holds him and gently massages his head.
“He was very troublesome as late,” Her mother confessed. “Your dad and I are going to have a vacation!”.
“Wow! You deserve some rest, Mom!” Selviya muttered.
“Even if we finished! You still need to take him with you,” Her mom told her.
“Okay, mom!” Selviya replied.
“Hello! Daughter!” Her father said he rushed to hug her.
“Daddy!” She exclaimed, hugging him.
Casper jumped into Selviya's head, he didn’t want to be crushed by these two humans.
“I’m going to miss Casper,” Her father confessed, “ he was troublesome but I will miss his cute face!”
“You didn’t see him when he broke your mom's vintage tea set” he burst out laughing at this.
Selviya gave a light-hearted chuckle. She smiled at her father. Unlike her mother who huffed at this, her father loves Casper so much, Although the latter is mischievous and troublesome.
“He will miss you too! Daddy” She said brightly.
“Alright, Aran! Let us pack our stuff!” Her mother said, “We can’t miss the flight!”
“Wait! You are going now!” Selviya spoke.
“Yes now!” Her mother replied.
“Okay, did you inform someone to look after the house?” Selviya asked.
“Yes, My sister will come to look after it,” Her father said.
“Okay then!” Selviya uttered. “Goodbye then! I need to go”.
“Goodbye, daughter! Be careful!” Her father told her as he reminded her to be careful.
“Okay, Daddy!” She articulated.
But before she left, she went to her room to pack her pet supplies and his cage. Casper eagerly entered the cage so that he could be carried by his owner Selviya.
With that, Selviya is ready to leave the house. She carefully held the pet cage and put it inside her car. She used the seatbelts to keep it safe.
Selviya started up her car before she drove to her destination, she took a sip from her hot coffee.
She opened a portal using her Crystal Silvernium pendant. She entered it and thus reached her desired destination, The Lin Kuei Temple.
“Let’s go, Casper!” She brightly said, “To your new home!”.
Selviya parked her car in its usual place, turned it off, and then entered the temple.
She was met with Sareena and Bi Han who were having their morning stroll near the icy mountains.
“Hi!” Selviya greeted me with a big smile.
Sareena and Bi Han Smiled at her and greeted her back. But they noticed the cage she carried.
They didn’t say anything but they only gave her a questioning look. She smiled sheepishly at them.
“Meet my ferret pet! His name is Casper!” She announced as she showed them her pet. Which is a white albino ferret named Casper.
“He is so cute!” Sareena chuckled.
“Wow! I never knew that you had a pet!” Bi Han muttered as he gently patted the ferret’s head.
“I didn’t mention it earlier, sorry” she replied sheepishly.
“That’s okay!” Both replied then they left to do their morning stroll.
Selviya went inside the temple carrying her cage and other things. She was stopped by Kuai, and the moment he noticed her, he went to her.
“Where were you?” Kuai asked, He was worried but he didn’t show it.
“I was in my parent's home to bring Casper!” She answered him, As she pointed to the cage.
“Oh,” He uttered.
“My parents couldn’t take care of him because he was causing trouble for them,” she continued.
“That’s understandable,” He replied.
Looking at the cute innocent ferret he can’t help but smile and gently poke his nose. In his heart and mind, he always wanted to have a pet when he was a younger man. Lin Kuei didn’t allow any, but he can allow it now. He even remembered sneaking a snow leopard, Luckily for him Bi han caught him and reprimanded him for it making Kuai return the panther to the wilderness again.
“I’m going to feed him now,” Selviya said.
“Okay then!” He uttered.
Selviya went to her room. She gently put the cage on the bed. Opening the cage door for Casper to get outside, Selviya prepared his food into his bowl. She fed him dried fish and eggs.
Casper made a happy sound. As he delighted in his meal. He loves the dried fish and the eggs that Selviya gives him.
After she fed him. She prepared a bath for him. He happily jumped inside the bath, and Selviya cleaned him with shampoo. Giving him a head massage. Then she pours water on him. Before she used the hairdryer. She holds him in her hand to ring out all the excess water from him.
She used a towel to dry him, and after that, she used the hairdryer on low, Lastly, she brushed him with a soft brush. She spritz him with a pet perfume and he is now ready for a snooze!
Selviya sat on her bed near Casper, she took a sip of her coffee, Savoring the delicious and sweet coffee. She gently covered Casper with a blanket so that he wouldn’t feel cold while sleeping. She took another sip of her coffee while looking at her phone.
Moments later, she heard a knock on the door. She hurriedly got up to open the door, she didn’t want people to awaken her pet.
“Hi,” she whispered to him.
“Hey~” He whispered back.
She let him enter the room, and as he did, he glanced at the sleeping Casper in her bed. He knew that she didn’t want to wake him up
He gazes at the gorgeous woman in front of him. She always intrigues him; she is alluring. Her frost blue hair resembles the beauty of ice and snow; Her pale skin is like the purest shade of white and snow, Her eyes are another tale as they say. Her eyes are light blue shade intriguing and beautiful. She was like made by the ice gods— perfect and gorgeous. and she is for him to take and love.
“What are you looking at?”
Her soft and soothing voice had brought him back to reality, cutting his trail of thoughts. He smiled at her. He gently held her hand and kissed it.
Selviya smiled at him. She gave a light-hearted chuckle, She hugged him with force then she kissed his cheek. He hugged back and he kissed her lips with passion.
She is the most beautiful woman in his eyes. And he only wants to marry her. She is the perfect one for him; she is his soulmate.
He wants to marry her as soon as he can, He doesn’t want anyone to claim her before he does. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her for a hug. She yelped and chuckled at this.
Kuai only lets himself be like this when he and Selviya are alone. He just can’t control himself when they are alone.
He puts a hand on her waist and the other behind her head and begins to kiss her. He is lost in the moment and just holds her and kisses her lips gently and passionately, then he nuzzles her neck as he whispers to her.
“I love you” He whispered to her.
“I love you too” she whispered back to him.
He broke the kiss to breathe. He takes one strand of her hair and twirls it around his fingers, he loves her hair so much that he is obsessed with it. Selviya’s face is covered with blush; she finds it completely romantic of him to do this to her.
Kuai is fascinated by her. She is like a magnet that pulls him towards her. Before he kisses her. He was startled by the hasty knocks on the door. Selviya and Kuai quickly went to open the door. Because Selviya doesn’t want Casper to wake from his sleep.
The one who knocked was Bi Han; he told them it is lunch-time and they must be there. then Bi han left them to go to the hall.
Kuai nodded but he was a bit angry because his brother ruined this moment for him. He wanted to kiss his love and Bi Han came only to ruin it.
Selviya and Kuai left for the dining hall. each sat in their chair. Selviya sat near Kuai and Bi han. Sareena, Cyrax , and Smoke joined them.
Before Selviya eats her meal, she notices a little creature running around and that is Casper. He is always like this, the little ferret rascal.
“Casper!” Selviya called.
Casper jumped into her arms and snuggled himself inside her fur coat, as he gave her the cute eyes.
“Come here!” She said as she hugged him gently.
Cyrax and Smoke are shocked to see this. They didn’t notice that Selviya brought a pet into the temple. If memory serves pets aren’t allowed in the temple. They looked to Kuai for an explanation.
“pets are allowed” Kuai announced.
“Oh, Okay then!” Cyrax replied.
Kuai shifted his gaze to Casper. He was still in Selviya’s fur neck, enjoying the warmth of it. Then he popped his head out to look at the people.
He captured the hearts of all the people in the room. He is cute and mischievous too.
Kuai patted his head gently. Which prompted Casper to jump into his lap. Kuai couldn’t resist it so he gently held him and patted his head.
“I guess he likes you,” Selviya said with a smile.
“He does? I like him too!” Kuai exclaimed with happiness.
Kuai kept patting him. He even forgets to eat his meal. Selviya never wanted him to get distracted and not eat his food.
So she gently whistles to get Casper’s attention. It worked and Casper jumped onto Selviya’s lap. Kuai frowned mentally but he didn’t show it. He started to eat his food.
Everyone chatted and ate their food, Enjoying each other's conversations and stories alike.
The atmosphere was calm and enjoyable to everyone, There was no tension or anything.
After eating everyone put the dishes in their washing spot and left to do their business. Selviya took Casper and went to play with him in her room. While the others went to practice new fighting techniques and tactics. For Selviya; it is a bit early to practice because she is busy with her ferret pet.
Selviya gently hugged her ferret pet. Casper enjoys her touches and anything related to it. As the cute ferret he is, he snuggled inside her coat.
“Who’s a good boy? Who’s a good boy!” She said in a playful tone.
Casper only made cute sounds to answer her questions. He licked her cheeks too.
“Awwww! You love me?” She voiced with a playful tone.
Selviya felt her eyes get heavy as she yawned while holding Casper. She quickly goes to the sink to brush her teeth then she jumps on her bed to sleep. Casper slept beside her. Both dozed off and snoozed in a dreamless sleep.
Kuai opens the door to see his love. He saw that she was sleeping with her pet beside her.
He smiled at the sight before him, he turned off the lights and closed the door behind him to let them sleep.
“Sweet dreams” he softly muttered.
cute ship 🥰🥰💙💙🧊❄️

The Ice Goddess and Her Icy Warrior Chapter 15.
A/N: I don’t know Cyrax’s real name, so I gave him a name! Motswane which means good. Also, I found this beautiful gif on pinterest.
“The reunion.”
Smoke and Cyrax were sparring together. Each was equal in their skill and might, but Smoke proved more fluid and speedy. With a precise move, Smoke struck Cyrax in the chest with a palm strike. Cyrax flew away from the ring. He rolled and fell face-first on the floor. He let out a pained groan.
Smoke smiled, proud of himself and his skills. He chuckled triumphantly as he stared at the fallen Cyrax.
Tomas placed his hands on his hips. “Hey, Cy,” Tomas called loudly. “Even after decades, you still didn’t lose it!”
Cyrax rose to his feet, wiped the dirt from his face, chuckled, and walked to Tomas. Then both warriors bowed to each other.
“You too, Tomas,” Cyrax muttered his tone is soft.
A familiar, melodic voice called for these two.
“Hello, Tomas and Motswane,” Selviya greeted with her sweet voice.
Smoke and Cyrax blushed at the sight of Selviya. She wears a light blue cropped Topshop denim jacket, a red blouse, a blue navy jean skirt, and blue high boots.
“Soo, Where have you been?” Cyrax prompted as he crossed his arms. “We didn’t see you this morning,”
Selviya chuckled as she awkwardly rubbed the back of her head with her hand. “Oh, I was on a mission to hunt down Kano,” she replied with a sweet voice.
Smoke and Cyrax were concerned, but from the look of it, Selviya managed to get out of it alive. “So, we take it that you succeeded?” Tomas inquired. He had a big grin on his face.
Selviya nodded her head as she smiled; this time she smiled devilishly, hinting that she had done something terrible to Kano. Both men gulped in concern. They pitied Kano.
“Umm, Selviya? What did you do?” Cyrax asked.
Selviya put her hand on her mouth. “Oh, nothing much,” she snickered.
Both men's interests were piqued. They wanted to know what Selviya did to that bastard Kano. In the meantime, they are waiting for Selviya to explain more.
Selviya sighted. “Well, He gave Kuai his scar,” She explained. “It’s only fair he has a scar of his own,”
This information astounded Tomas and Motswane. So it was Kano's fault that their friend's face was scarred. They complimented Selviya for her efforts in apprehending Kano and giving him a scar on his eye.
Tomas smiled as he crossed his arms once again. “If you ask me, He deserves worse,” Tomas declared.
Cyrax nodded his head, agreeing with the smoke. “Totally, that bastard deserves to die,” Cyrax announced. His tone is laced with disdain and disgust towards Kano.
Selviya chuckled again. "I really wanted him dead, but Sonya insisted I bring him alive," Selviya said in a neutral tone.
“So, how did you fight him? With Ice daggers or Kori swords?” Smoke inquired curiously.
Selviya smiled because both men were interested to know more about the incident. “I used my ice daggers,” She told them.
Cyrax smiled as he raised his eyebrow at Selviya. “You didn’t use a Kori sword like Kuai?” Cyrax asked, amused.
Selviya's smile disappeared as she tilted her head and furrowed her brows. “What’s a Kori Sword?” She asked.
Tomas and Cyrax looked at each other in confusion. Smoke was about to say something but Cyrax stopped him by a hand gesture.
“A Kori sword is a long and strong sword made of ice,” Cyrax explained. “It’s the most strong and recognizable weapon that cryomancers use,”
Selviya hummed in understanding. “I see.” She mumbled. “I don’t know how to make it."
Tomas smiled at her. “Andêl,” he called softly. “Why don’t you ask Kuai Liang to help you with that?”
Selviya gazed at Smoke, She smiled and nodded her head. “That’s a good idea!” She muttered.
In the meantime, Kuai Liang rummaged through his room, looking for something. Then an old and worn photo fell of a leathery bag he owned.
Kuai Liang picked it up from the floor and decided to study it. It was a photo of him, his brother, and his mother.
Kuai Liang smiled at it. He felt bittersweet but remembered he had a mother. She was a beautiful American-Chinese woman. He felt saddened by forgetting her name. How could he ever forget his mother's name? The reason he was brought to this universe A traitorous tear escaped his eye. He felt bad and ashamed. In all honesty, no one can blame him for that; Kuai Liang had been through a lot. He was brought into the Lin Kuei, a merciless clan of assassins and monsters. He was automated to be a Cyborg, then killed as a Cyborg by Queen Sindel, and then resurrected by Quan Chi and enslaved by him.
Sitting on his bed, Kuai Liang stared at the picture of his mother. He wondered if she was still alive. Has she forgotten that she has two sons? Has she moved on? And where is she now?
An urgent knock on the door brought Kuai Liang back to reality. Immediately, he turned to the door.
“Enter,” Kuai Liang ordered.
The door opened to reveal Selviya, his girlfriend, He looked at her, and she was gorgeous. She is wearing an elegant red cropped Topshop, a light denim jacket that adds an extravagant touch, and a navy jean skirt to match her blouse with blue high boots. She looks elegant and beautiful; Kuai Liang noted that.
Kuai Liang smirked as he walked towards her. “Hello, love,” he said with a charming tone.
“You look gorgeous~"
Selviya chuckled as she pulled Kuai Liang to her.
“You look handsome yourself.” She muttered with a lovely tone.
Kuai Liang blushed. He felt the heat on his groyne. He tried his hardest to snuff the desire inside of him and focus on the matter at hand: finding his mother.
“Thank you, Selviya.” Kuai Liang spoke in a soft tone.
Selviya noticed that Kuai Liang’s room was quite a mess. His drawers are left open, the shelves are disoriented and messy, and the papers are everywhere, just as other things are discarded on the floor carelessly. His room was like a teenager’s room; it was unordered and troubling. Selviya sighed in complete annoyance at him.
“You know, it’d not kill you to tidy your room,” Selviya muttered in annoyance.
Kuai Liang only rolled his eyes at her as he crossed his arms. He didn’t answer her at all, She got a point. His room is messy as never before.
She strolled to the mess. As she began to gather the papers and tidy them together, She glanced at his bed. She saw a lot of pictures lying there, but only one specific picture caught her eye. It was a photo of a beautiful Chinese woman hugging her two little boys. As Selviya was walking to see the picture, her gaze was fixed on it.
She held the photo with delicate hands as she examined it before her. Her crystal blue eyes were drinking in every detail. The woman in the photo was a beautiful young Chinese mom. She was hugging her two little boys. Her wide, gentle smile and her warm chocolate eyes are unique features of hers. Her posture was relaxed and happy. This photo reminded Selviya of the old family photos back in the 90s and 80s. She knew these little boys were Kuai Liang and Bi Han. They looked so innocent and cute. Who would have thought they’d turn into merciless assassins for Lin Kuei?
Finally, Selviya gazed at the photo, She handed Kuai Liang the photo, and she smiled at him. She didn’t say anything at all. Because she didn’t know what to say, Selviya inwardly cursed the Lin Kuei for what they did to Kuai Liang and Bi Han. They took these little innocent boys and turned them into monsters. Selviya was in deep thought; she wasn’t brought back to reality until Kuai Liang cleared his throat.
“Selviya,” He gently called her.
She looked at him and smiled. “Yes? Kuai Liang?”
Kuai Liang breathed deeply. “Selviya, I need your help to find my mother."
Somehow, Selviya wasn’t shocked at all, As If she knew he’d ask her something like this. Her smile widened, Her eyes sparkled as she nodded eagerly like an anime girl.
Kuai Liang blushed as he awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck. He shot her an awkward smile. “In all honesty, I forgot my mother’s name,” Kuai Liang muttered. His tone was laced with embarrassment.
She grinned in an ornery way, She let out a cute chortle, and Kuai Liang chortled with her too. Thankfully, His blushing is reduced quickly.
She winked at him. “I’ll help. Just hand me the photo.” Selviya said reassuringly.
Kuai Liang handed her the photo. She glanced at her boyfriend as she took the photo of him.
Selviya delicately held the photo as she started to use her psychometry ability. Selviya opened her eyes. A brilliant blue light shone from her eyes as a radiating beacon in the night sky.
Kuai Liang was impressed by her powers. So, He nicknamed him ‘Star Babe’.
Moments passed. The brilliant blue light that shone from her eyes was gone now. With a confident smile, she handed him the photo and said,
“Mei Wang, She lives in NYC Chinatown,” Selviya revealed. She paused for a moment. “She owns a Chinese restaurant called Red Lotus."
Kuai Liang was gobsmacked. He couldn’t say anything because he was speechless. He finally spoke. “Wow.” He grinned at her.
Selviya smiled at him. “Let’s go find your mother.” She waved the keys in front of Kuai Liang’s face.
Before leaving. Selviya told Kuai Liang to change his clothing into something normal. like modern clothes. He begrudgingly nodded and changed his attire.
He is now wearing a blue navy t-shirt, black jeans, and sneakers. He looks like a normal man. not a Lin Kuei assassin. Selviya approved, and they are ready to go.
Selviya and Kuai Liang quickly strolled to Selviya’s car. She used her key to turn on the car, and they entered. Kuai Liang sat in the shotgun seat and Selviya in the driver seat. They quickly put on the belts, and they are ready to go.
Selviya quickly opened a portal to NYC with a quick wave of her crystal silvernium. Selviya quickly drove through it. A bright white light flashed brightly for a few milliseconds as they found themselves in NYC.
“Well, we reached our destination.” Selviya began. Her tone is laden with warmth and joy. “New York City!"
Kuai Liang was busy looking at the people. He was studying the city in front of him, The buildings, People, and everything. The city looks crowded, Busy, and Full of life. A lot of people—From different countries and races were walking to do their daily activities.
It was truly an amazing sight to see. He looked at Selviya and smiled. In the deep recesses of his heart, he wished he could have a normal life like them too: living in a society, walking to work, living in a neighbourhood. Maybe, in another life, Kuai Liang would be a different person, a normal one
Kuai Liang didn’t notice Selviya lowering down her window. He was startled by the loud Chinese music and the deafening fireworks. He breathed calmly to steady his nerves.
Selviya chuckled at him as she flashed him an ornery grin and said, “Sorry about that."
He only smiled at her. “No problem,”
Chinatown was a bustling kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, and smells. The streets were lined with vibrant red lanterns. yellow and red banners that hung from the shops’ fronts.
The air was filled with enticing aromas of food, tea, goods, herbs, and spices that had been brought from China itself. The street was filled with people of all ages, cultures, and different backgrounds.
Selviya liked the city so much. She really wanted to enjoy her time here. But she had a mission, and she couldn’t delay it. The city was amazing, beautiful, and vibrant with life. It’s rich with history and what it has to offer tourists.
Selviya finally parked her car in front of a big Chinese restaurant. It has a big sign written in Chinese and English: ‘Welcome to Red Lotus Restaurant!'.
Kuai Liang looked at the sign. He studied the place with his eyes. It was a big, attention-grabbing place. He is proud of his mother for being successful. Then he looked at Selviya. “This is it.” He muttered softly.
Selviya nodded. They both entered the place. They were met with a tantalising scent of A Chinese incense. A female waitress rushed to welcome them and show them their booth.
In all honesty, the pair were tempted to forget their mission and enjoy a delicious meal of Chinese cuisine. But no. Their mission comes first.
Thankfully, the waitress found them a strategic booth in the restaurant. a corner where they can watch from a perfect angle.
Selviya glanced at the place, Examining it with her blue-crystal eyes. She smiled at the waitress, She raised her finger to order but Kuai Liang beat her to the punch and asked the waitress for two cups of tea only. She nodded and strolled to fetch their order. Inwardly, Selviya was not happy, She wanted to order dumplings but she brushed this off.
“Focus on the mission, Selviya,” Kuai Liang reminded her.
Selviya sighed annoyingly. “Okay, dear,” she mumbled.
Selviya wanted to argue, but the corner of her eye caught something. A beautiful Asian middle-aged woman She wore a red, elegant cheongsam. Her black, greying hair was neatly tied into a bun, ornamented with chopsticks. adding a touch of Chinese style to it. Her facial features were ageing but beautiful nonetheless; her lips were adorned with red lipstick, and despite her age, she looked gorgeous.
Selviya blinked thrice at this. She knew this was Mei Wang, Kuai Liang’s mother. She quickly nudged Kuai Liang with her finger, and she whispered to him to look at the middle-aged woman with the red cheongsam. Kuai Liang nodded. There was a silent understanding between the two. They kept looking at the elegant woman with the red cheongsam.
She walked with such grace and elegance that befitting of an owner of this fine establishment. Her steps were light and quiet, just like those of a lioness.
Upon hearing her speak to one of the waitresses, Kuai Liang recognised her voice and her sweet and gentle tone. That was indeed his mother. Time was cruel to her. Despite what his father did to his poor mother, she was still strong, willing to fight and move on.
Kuai Liang felt a stab of guilt, The same questions echoed through him, Will she remember him? Will she recognise him? Did.. She moves on?
Selviya got to her feet. She flashed him an ornery grin. Much to Kuai Liang’s chagrin, she quickly walked towards the woman with a red cheongsam. She smiled at her and greeted her in Chinese.
“Nǐhǎo!” Selviya greeted her. She quickly bowed to her. It was an Asian greeting.
Behind Selviya, Kuai Liang grumbled as he joined his girlfriend’s side and smiled at his mother. He greeted her too, and he hoped beyond hope that his mother would recognise him.
The woman with the red cheongsam smiled. I greeted them too. “Nǐhǎo,” she kept smiling at them.
She paused as she studied the couple's faces. One looks familiar to her, while the other isn’t.
With an unexpected move, She cupped Kuai Liang’s chin as she smiled at him. He yelped at this, But he was happy. This meant she recognised him, She gently traced the scar on his eye with her index finger, Just like a mother comforting her child.
Her smile widened. “Wǒ de háizi,” she whispered to him, trying her hardest not to cry.
She gently held his hands. She squeezed them as she felt him, making sure that this was real. not just another dream.
Then they embraced each other in a deep and tight hug. Finally, a mother and her child are reunited after decades of being apart.
“Wǒ de mǔqīn,” Kuai Liang whispered. Tears welled up in his eyes.
“Wǒ de hàizi,”shee repeated as she hugged him tightly. Tears welled up in her eyes too.
Selviya smiled at this sight. She felt her heart melt at this view. As she started to wipe her tears at this.
Mei and her son, Kuai Liang, finally broke the huge “My baby,” Mei began. “I missed you so much." Her tone is sweet and accented with a Chinese accent.
Kuai Liang smiled as he wiped his tears. “Me too, Mother,"
Mei pulled Selviya and Kuai Liang to a closer booth. They sat down, and Mei motioned for the waitress to bring menus for them.
The waitress quickly obeyed her orders and brought 3 menus.
“I want you to tell me everything. But first of all, Where’s Bi Han?” His mother asked. Her tone is warm and melodic.
“He is fine. Mother.” Kuai Liang replied softly.
Mei looked at Selviya and smiled at her. “I’m happy my son found a girlfriend,” she giggled.
This made Kuai Liang and Selviya blush. They chuckled too.
Mei breathed calmly. “I’m glad that we found each other, Kuai, You have no idea what I have been through,” She paused for long moments. The things your father did before he kidnapped you and your brother, the efforts I made to even find one clue where you two were."
A tear rolled down Mei's cheek. She smiled brightly. Because she lived to see her son again. She was able to find her sons before she died, which was her only wish. And it came true.
The trio started to talk with each other. Kuai Liang started to tell his mother about his life in the Lin Kuei, The first day their father brought them, He didn’t forget and never did, It was the day his life turned for the worse.
He kept telling his mother other things. He even told her how he met Selviya, his girlfriend. And so on. Oh and his mother has been missing out for so long. She had alot to catch up on!
