A shot from cupid.

Chapter-4

Yet each man kills the thing he loves
By each let this be heard
Some do it with a bitter look
Some with a flattering word
The coward does it with a kiss
The brave man with a sword -

Oscar Wilde, The Ballad Of Reading Gaol

Chapter -4

After talking for few minutes both of them said goodbye to each other. As azura and phoenix were walking home in silence. Phoenix decided to inruppt as usual.

"Mum, Aidan's cool. I can't wait to go to school tomorrow." , Phoenix said excitedly as he thought about school.

"I know why." , Azura muttered.

And soon they both started walking in silence home. Phoenix was in his own thoughts as azura was in her own.

"Mom.. will you take him back if he come asking for your forgiveness, will you forgive him?" , Phoenix asked suddenly.

"No! Phoenix he is long gone, if someone can betray you ones, He can betray you another time  also having no regrets about it. But if he wants to be a father to you that he have never been I can't stop him.", she explained to him.

"That's my mom." , Phoenix exclaimed suddenly hugging her legs.

"C'mon phoenix." , azura laughed picking him up.

"Welcome home!" , both of them exclaimed as they reached home to each other.

"Ok, go nix go take a bath while I make dinner."

"Ok. Mom."

.

"So...." , she raised her eyebrow and her son knew that she needed a compliment on her new dish.

"It tastes nice." , He said

"What only nice..." , azura groaned fakely.

"Well if a keep on complimenting you on very dish you make you will stop making these tastly dishes anymore and think yourself as some MasterChef that you are not." , He said.

"Well, did you just.. Roast me?" , she said.

"Kind of." , He shrugged and both of them suddenly started laughing at each other.

"Ok. Now momma enough is enough. C'mon let's wash the dishes and get to sleep." , He said clapping his hands.

After washing the dishes both of them headed towards bed. Phoenix slept after listening to story of a courageous Prince who saves his princess from the Dragon.

.
.
.

"Baby, wake up." , azura whispered kissing phoenix's forehead.

"Momma, let me sleep." , He groaned.

"Ms. Rose..."

Azura didn't even complete her sentence that Phoenix jerked up from bed and run towards bullet like a bullet.

"Haha." , azura laughed silently at his sick tactics.

"Mom where are my shoes!", He yelled running here and there.

"Did you look beside the rack.", she yelled packing some important papers in her briefcase.

"Yes."

"Behind it."

"Yes."

"Inside it."

"Nope, oops momma.", He said.
