Chapter 114 Happy Mother’s Day, Mama!
"Reverse time to one hour here before, God's eye! The target is the icy planet standing at this spot earlier." Jo Moriah shouted after channeling the spell.
Next, the large eyeball in his hand glowed and sent out a hazy light all around it, and then everything that had happened at that point and especially the rocks in the space was moved and the earth was formed, and then all the water scattered in the space also returned, covering the rocky planet, and froze, turning it into the icy planet just like before.
"W-what… what the freak, man!?" Jeremy Bradford was totally astounded this time, and he asked. "Don't tell me you can now even control the time law?"
Jo Moriah grinned and replied. "Huh, I wish…. Unfortunately, I need to sacrifice nearly 250 years of my lifespan to activate this eyeball. You know harnessing time manipulation is a double-edged sword."
"What? You just used 250 years of your life to revive this icy planet that I just destroyed." Jeremy said. "So, the thing is; should I thank you for undoing my misdeed?.... Oh, come on man, that's just stupid."
"Mr. Jeremy, you are wrong again. I don't need you to thank me. Instead, I should be the one who should thank you." Jo Moriah chuckled and further added. "Since the day my friend which your big brother went missing into that strange wormhole, my life has become fucking boring as I lost someone who can make me bleed from time to time and I have lost that feeling and today I find our duel quite amusing. So, I paid 250 years of lifespans for giving me such entertainment."
He then craned his head toward the direction of the pitched black region and said. "Hey, pretty. You can come out now and go join your natural course with your earth." And he further reassured, saying. "Okay, my little friend here will not harm you. I cross my heart."
The white moon hiding within the dark gaseous appeared and rushed toward the original course of its orbit, and soon continued, oscillating around the icy blue planet.
"Done! Alright, let's return to my building first." As soon as Jo Moriah spoke, a large circular pitch-black portal appeared and both of them stepped inside. Within seconds, the portal vanished as well.
—--------------------------------
As usual, Bobby left his workplace after 1 pm, went to visit Scarlette Chanel, then got in his red car and rolled toward the city.
After leaving the no-fly region of the wood, Bobby drove the vehicle high in the sky. "Yo, Mr. Freeman."
"What's up, my man?" The AI spoke in Morgan Freeman's voice.
"Can you suggest something a mom would love from her son?... I mean present." Bobby asked.
"You can pick from these following things." the AI replied and a 3D Screen appeared and a large list ranging from 'what types of flowers or what types of cakes?' to types of handbags for the trend used by most fashionable women and their reviews also were all on the screen. "They can all be purchased online, and the delivery is free today since it is Mother's Day. So, what do you say?"
Bobby clicked some buttons and instructed. "Okay, purchase all of these that I just marked now, and write the address to my home as the delivery address."
Beep! Beep! Beep!
"Done! The total cost is 5oo Purple power stones." the AI reminded.
He tried to act cool, but the next minute, his money-pinching side kicked in and he screamed. "Ah, my hard-earned dollars. I'm bleeding inside."
And soon after giving a small tour around the city, he flew his vehicle toward his home, District A-13, and landed on the lawn of the white mansion.
Just after the side door of the vehicle lifted, Bobby came out of his car.
A perfectly curvaceous lady wearing jeans and a white shirt rushed out running and stopped not far away from him.
"Now, you finally remember you have a home here." the lady said while crossing her arms, but her tone was so delicate, fearing that she might accidentally frighten her boy. "Oh, come here," she added, opening her arms to him.
Yes, Bobby had not returned there after the thrashing event from Mia.
Bobby made an amiable smile and hugged her.
Mia said while giving a sense of comfort to her son. "Ah, boy, are you so afraid of me you won't come back here? I promise you. Mama will never do something like that ever again."
"Aunt Mia, it's not what you thought…. Actually, after going out that day, things kept popping up, and I had to deal with them." Bobby replied.
Mia padded his head and said chuckling, "Hey, you don't need to lie to your mama…. (Whispered) I still smell fear in the air. Hee-hee-hee. Anyway, welcome home, sweetheart!"
She smell a strange perfume and started sniffling around his neck, then shirt, and said with a teasing tone, "Ha-ha, now I understand why my son was so busy these few weeks to even come to the house." She then released him and asked curiously. "Tell me. Who is it? Is it that lady you kiss in the hospital?"
Bobby was completely caught off guard, as he didn't see it coming. He stuttered. "W-what? What? Mama, I have no idea what you are saying." But he still acted all ignorant of what she meant.
Mia skillfully folded around his right arm and said in a teasing tone. "Now, you are calling me mama again. Hee-hee. Sweety, you don't need to feel shy about it. It's a very natural thing and I'm really happy for you and finally," and then she hushed softly. "My little boy has become a real man. I'm just curious who the lucky lady is?"
"What?"
"Nothing. First, let's get inside the house and we will continue from where we left behind." Mia said, and the two went inside the house.
Having taken a nice, warm shower and changed into a well-ironed shirt and pants after half an hour, Bobby came down the stairs. He then sat on the cushion and started browning the latest news from his AI Pod and waited.
Mia quickly rushed inside holding a large tray containing two cups and several numbers of freshly baked cookies as it was evident that they were baked just now as there were white steams still fuming out from the cookies.
Bobby turned off the AI Pod, placed it on the table and he reached out for a cooky and said. "Thank goodness! It smells so good." Then he took a bite and said while closing his eyes and savoring the favor in the meantime. "Um-woah! Mama, you always make the best cookies ever." Then he started woofing on it with no care and picked the cup and sipped the coffee.
Hearing his compliments, Mia smiled as she watched Bobby do what he normally did from a young age: eat from one cooky to another.
"Mama, why aren't you eating? These are so good." Bobby said with excitement.
"Nah, I'm full. You can have mine, too." Mia said, placing her elbows on the table and supporting her chin with her palms as she watched him eat greedily.
"Oh, thank you." Bobby reached for the cookies on the tray next to Mia and munched them immediately.
In no time, there were no more cookies on the plate, and Bobby took a sip of coffee and lay his back on the sofa and said in leisure. "Mama, you are still as good at baking cookies as you used to be. We should do this more often."
"Thank you. Sweetheart, if you promise to come home more often, then I promise you, these cookies are nothing. Your mama still has a knack for baking many more good toiletries in the world." Mia replied.
Ding! Ding!
Suddenly, the door bells chimed, and Mia said briskly, "Coming!" She then jumped up to her feet and walked toward the door and opened it.
A man wearing a delivery service T-shirt with a logo stood just outside the door.
Mia came out of the door and asked, "Can I help you?"
"Are you… um.." He checked the paper-thin tablet in his hand and continued. "|Mia Bradford?"
"Not Bradford, anymore." Then she corrected herself quickly. "Yes, you are right."
As the man pointed at the many boxes that were lying on the grass near to the door, he informed her that the goods she ordered online had arrived and left after she signed for them.
At that time, Bobby also came out of the house and stood beside her.
Mia glanced at him and asked, "Are they yours?"
"Mama, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
Mia pondered deeply, and her expression showed that she didn't have a clue about it.
"Happy mother's day, mama!" Bobby hugged her from behind and whispered. "Thank you for everything you have given me and done for me... They are just some simple gifts for you."
