MYSTIC [Part I]

CHAPTER :- 1

Boun is a university student. He is kind, smart and friendly . He lives with his mom who is a patissier. She is his only parent. He helps her in the shop on weekends.

Boun comes back from the uni. He greets his mother then goes to his room. They live on the floor above their cake shop. His mom is a well known patissier in the city. After closing the shop, at night, his mom went up to their home.

"Boun, where are are you? ".He calls his son.

" Come to the kitchen mom"

She goes to the kitchen.

"I made pasta, today " Boun smiles.

"Ow....I'm sorry baby, I had so much work today. I will make your favorite food tomorrow ".

" It's fine mom. I learned cooking to give you rest after work"

They ate dinner while talking about how their day went.

"Mom..........i am graduating in a month so..... '

His mom seems upset whenever Boun talks about his graduation. Boun has noticed everytime but never asked her.

" Yeah.... what about it? "

"I want to become a baker. I will help you in our shop. Then I want to open my own bakery after I have enough experience, I want you to be my teacher"

"I will always help you with whatever you do" She gave him a weak smile.

" I forgot to tell, our.........relative is coming tomorrow"

"What ?............. we have a relative? , but you said that you don't have any ?"

"Um.......... Yeah........ No, we have one, he is my cousin's son" She stuttered.

"Ohhhh........ how come I never knew about this? " Boun is surprised.

"They live very far away from here, he is coming to visit me and he'll stay here for a month"

For a month, that's a long time, Boun thinks.

"Can you accompany him while he stays here? "

"Okay ". He nods.

°°°°

Next morning, Boun goes to his uni as usual. When he reaches the parking, someone hits him on his back.

" Boun , my buddy".

"Ahhhh......are you fucking crazy? "

It's his friend Ohm. They have been friends since their first day in uni.

"Oh... Sorry, but guess what happened? We are dating now. Lia and I ? "

"Woah... Congrats man, but still, you didn't have to hit me like that, I feel so sorry for her, she is stuck with an idiot like you"

"God, I am hurt, you are my friend or not? "

Ohm wipes his imaginary tears. Boun rolls his eyes and walks away. Ohm runs after him.

"You know what? I think....... you should start dating someone too. how long do I have to take care of you on my own"

"Hah.... funny........you know what I think, I should tell Lia about how you..."Ohm covers Boun's mouth with his hands.

"Hey, shut up............. "

"Oh... did I scary you" He laughs.

Then they go inside the uni.

°°°°

Boun comes back and sees their shop is closed. He goes upstairs looking for his mom.

"Mom, I am back"

He sits on the couch. He hears someone's footsteps coming towards him.

"Why are we close today? " He says then looks up and sees a boy instead of her.

"Aunt has gone for shopping? "

"Who......... Ohh....... are you that guy who was coming today? "

"Um....... Yeahh "

"Hey, I am Boun, your Aunt's son "

The boy smiles "Hello, I am Prem, nice to meet you "
