All For Power

Chapter 15: An Old Friend

"Look, Daddy, look!" The outcry of a little boy filled the area in a supermarket. A little boy ran around a section of the supermarket, pointing excitedly at the rows of video games, hopefully, his father would notice it.

Behind the five to six-year-old boy, Al'ravee walked while pushing a baby stroller forward. In the stroller was a pretty baby girl who had a pacifier in her mouth.

Next to him was a middle-aged black-haired woman holding a shopping basket, the basket was already filled halfway.

A ten-year-old girl who seemed to be tall for her age held onto the middle-aged woman's free hand. The way she kept to herself would easily give someone the impression that she was an introvert.

The middle-aged woman was Al'ravee's wife, the boy shouting for the video games, the tall ten-year-old girl, and the baby in the stroller were all his children.

After eleven years of marriage, Al'ravee and Eva now had Three children, two girls, and a boy. After getting married to Eva, it dawned on Al'ravee that life, where you belonged to a family was completely different from a life where you had your family. A lot of new concept in his everyday life was introduced to him and he had to adapt as soon as possible. He had to deal with parenting and extra living expenses.

He worked his way into becoming a department supervisor in his company so providing for the needs of his children wasn't too much of a hassle. He tried to be a good father but there wasn't really any test that he could write to prove that so Al'ravee didn't know how well he was doing. To others, Al'ravee could be considered a very softhearted father. He would have spoilt the children rotten if not for his wife Eva.

Eva, who simply worked as one of the Temples admins spent more of her time with the children. Over the years, she grew to be a hard-handed mother and a thorough disciplinarian.

Currently, Al'ravee was taking a vacation away from work and he decided to visit his hometown. The supermarket they were in now belonged to Selou and Lian.

Seeing his son pointing at those video games, Al'ravee smiled. Apart from reading e-novels, he and his son shared certain hobbies, one of them being their love for electronic games. Normally, work wouldn't give him much time for it but now that he was on vacation, he had enough time to complete as many story-mode games as he likes. He still had his game set in krene and Jurdelious place so he didn't hesitate to buy a few interesting ones.

While Eva and their first daughter focused more on things that they needed, Al'ravee and the little boy just seemed to be goofing around.

The shopping basket was soon filled up. Selou wasn't around but she had instructed her workers to give them a cost-to-cost price.

Just when they were living in the supermarket, in the parking lot, a man in a black and white office suit walked towards them. He walked towards Al'ravee in particular.

"Mr. Ravee!" The man called out in a hurry before they could drive off in their car. Al'ravee was a bit surprised, he had only been in town, a really large town at that, for a few days so how was it possible that somebody knew his name? It's been very long after all.

"Yes that's me, what do you want.." It was hard to tell what Al'ravee was thinking from his expression but within him, he was already on guard.

The man composed himself better after confirming that he was talking to the right person. " Well good day sir, I have been sent to fetch you and will need you to come with me, sir. I was sent to..."

Al'ravee didn't let him finish, he had watched a lot of movies to know how this scene would end. ," Hold on now, I'll get back to you. Let me just park the car okay." He stylishly entered the car and got it started. By this time, Eva and the kids were already inside the car too.
