Chapter 692 A love affair
Rudra hardly spent time with family once the announcement was made and with his mom and dad knowing that he was out of his pod for a meeting with Ethan Grey they insisted him for having lunch together.At the table , Neatwit , Naomi , Max , Mr.rajput and Mrs rajput were all present as Rudra found the atmosphere extremely awkward.
Although the table was blessed with good food the heavy mood made it taste bland as the two parents of Rudra made an heavy announcement to be made.
Papa Rajput said ” Rudra me and your mother have talked , and decided that we don’t want to play Omega.
The world is changing too fast and we are too old to change alongside it . Even if the mana influx kills us both we are ready for it , however we beleive that we want to live happily for as long as we live and live like ourselves.
We are very proud of all that you have achieved in Omega and in life , and will continue to support you in your gaming endeavours but don’t drag us into becoming gamers and run around with swords.
We would much rather spend that time sipping good coffee and fantasizing over our nonexistent grandchildren “.
Rudra found the food he was eating hard to swallow once his parents declared that they would not be playing Omega and increasing their chances of survival once the world changed .
This made Rudra extremely uneasy at the thought that they might not be able to survive the first awakening , however he could find no retort to their reasoning at all.
If they wanted to enjoy life rather than adapting then who was he to stop them from doing so?
Rudra however protested ” But father , max is still young he needs you to grow …. “.
Rudra’s father raised his hand in protest and Rudra went silent.
Papa Rajput said softly ” Rudra … We have already lived for you children for all these years.
When u finally stood up on your feet and freed me from the burden of earning i finally found happiness in life after so many years of being lost.
Then u made me proud with all your achievements. I know i am not the most expressive father of all , however looking at you i feel pride swell my chest every single day !
Max looks upto you as his hero more than he looks upto me and your mother is tired of taking care of the boy.
He is walking right on your footsteps , training , graduating from academy , and all , he will also join Omega next year , so now you take care of the boy .
Let both of our roles in your lives end now , let me and your mother start living for each other now and spend time with each other.
We will still worry about you , look after you kids and do whatever is needed , but not at the cost of our mental peace.
Our world was the petrol cars and the PlayStation games , we don’t understand the Omega nor do we want to”.
Max stood up and left the room at this moment leaving his food half eaten as everyone looked at the angry young kid with concern.
Rudra started to feel extremely ugly at the developing situation as anger welled up inside him .
He bit his lower lip to contain his emotions but failed to do so as tears welled up inside his eyes.
It was at this moment that his mother said ” But we can do all that Omega stuff if you agree to fulfill one condition of ours “.
Rudra looked at his mother with his teary eyes and said passionately ” What? “.
His mother gave her father a knowing smile as she said ” If you promise to get married to our beautiful Naomi in the coming month and giving us the news about an incoming grandson then for the sake of our grandchild we will suffer in Omega ! “.
Naomi blushed a deep red tone as Neatwit nodded vehemently .
Rudra was confused as to what was going on , however with his bottled emotions swaying him he said ” Okay i agree “.
It was at this moment that Max shouted ” Yes ” coming out of the staircase where he was hiding , while the others hugged .
Only then did Rudra realise that this entire dinner was a set-up by his mother and father to manipulate him into marrying Naomi .
Rudra’s eyes started to twitch looking at how his mother played his emotions as he felt ashamed to call himself shakuni .
Compared to his mother he was a innocent fool when it came to scheming. However his anger soon dissipated after seeing the joy of his family members as he threw a loving Glance at Naomi.
Realising how cute she looked while blushing , Rudra thought that it wasn’t the worst thing in the world to get married to such a beauty either.
Chuckling he had a merry dinner with the family later , as for the first time since the news about the first awakening was dropped Rudra freed his mind from the burdens of tommorow and finally started to live in the present.
His stress was busted and his mind cleared , infact he felt so good that he inadvertently started to use his powers.
Although Rudra did not understand how mana worked in real life , but when accidentally he redirected the flow of mana into his new gray eyes in the real world , everything changed for him for once and for all after he saw the altered reality through his god’s eyes.
With him able to see every item around him as a glow that contained universal energy , with neatwit glowing the most while his mother and father glowing very dimly.
Rudra could see the thin wisps of mana in the Atmosphere around him as a massive headache started to throb his brain after it became overloaded from seeing a new reality.
Rudra felt like a baby who was stimulated from his surroundings after opening his eyes for the first time as everything felt new and different.
Cutting off the mana flow , Rudra clutched his throbbing head as he re-adjusted to normal vision.
