I realize who I am

For that  very moment, time stopped. I mean, literally, time stopped.
And I was in a bitter condition.
When I was small, I often wondered what would happen if I was able to control time.

My mom always told me, that time couldn't be controlled.
But by the way she used to say so, didn't feel normal.
The same thing was also said by my teachers, but that was very normal.
As I grew up, my mom stopped repeating that sentence to me, like she used to do so before, regularly.
One day, I asked about it.

"So..., you wanna hear it again?" My mom said, but this time, I felt as if now was something that she was going to tell from her own heart, which she wanted to tell me long before.
"Do you want to control time?"

I was blank. Like, were you asking me, Do you want some good luck or not?

"I......I mean, for sure, no, but wh-"

"You want?"

"Uhh.....Maybe."

"What if I tell you can?"

"Great."

"What would you do?"

"What would I do? Try, maybe. The first thing."

"Then try."

"What?"

"Try."

"How??"

"..."

I closed my eyes. Suddenly, I felt time.

 Like, Okay, I know how crazy I may sound when I say I felt time. But seriously, I did. So much did I feel that I couldn't open my eyes.

I was so busy feeling time that I forgot  I had to try stopping it. I willed the time to stop at once.

 I couldn't feel time anymore. I felt startled. I opened my eyes,  and my heart froze. 

My mom was standing motionlessly . I could see that she was about to drop the coffee cup. It still stuck half the way, in the middle of the air. 

I felt amazed. I closed my eyes again, and I was about to will the time to start again, but I opened my eyes quickly, and kept the about-to-fall coffee cup on the table. Then I started the time again.

 My mom stood there, as if nothing happened. I gazed at her.

"I know you did it."

"Yeah. I placed the coffee mug." 

"So, how was it?"

"A-M-A-Z-I-N-G"

"Good."

"But how-"

"You are, my dear son, the child of the Lord of Time."

"Uhh...Lord of-who?"

"Lord of Time, my son, none other than the most powerful and the mightiest Titan Kronos."

"Oh."

I would be lying if I tell you that I believed her instantly. Or even believed her. What, my mom is a prakster. Big One, I tell you.

But things occurring from then changed that.

So, here I am today, but I am not trying now. 

 I hope that it will make my father proud, even if this is causing me so much trouble.
