I Can't Lie To My Mom

"Yes, It's Morning. Now get ready." Zara said in her kind voice.

Ratsujin yawns and responds to his mother with drowsy eyes. " It is so soon. I need five more minutes."

Just as Zara heard Ratsujin's voice, she immediately realized that Ratsujin was acting. He is trying to skip his very second day at Vanguard Academy, but Zara is not angry at all about Ratsujin's actions. It was like that she already had expected this from Ratsujin.

Zara smiled and placed her right arm on Ratsujin's cheek. She gently rubbed his cheek before speaking to her son again.

Zara's arm slowly lowered from Ratsujin's cheek to his left arm. She gently grabbed his arm and asked him. "Do You Want To Skip Vanguard Academy Today?"

Ratsujin's eyes widened in disbelief as he heard his mother's words. He could not believe that his mother was asking him to skip the second of the Academy. He could not stop the urge to say yes after everything that he had been through yesterday. Ratsujin responded to his mother with a slow nod of yes.

Suddenly, Zara's soft touch turned into a firm grip. "No! That is not happening!" Zara spoke as she pulled Ratsujin towards him by his hand.

"AAAHHHH!!!" Ratsujin screamed in extreme pain as his mother pulled him by his hand.

Ratsujin's scream was so painful that it caused Zara's hand to release Ratsujin's arm. Her eyes widened in shock as she could not withstand Ratsujin's painful scream.

"WHAT HAPPEN!!!!" Zara spoke in a panicked voice, which was filled with concern.

"ARE YOU OK!!"

"ARE YOU HURT!!"

"TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG!!!"

"WAIT I'LL CALL YOUR DAD HERE!!!"

Zara launched missiles of question at Ratsujin. Every question she asked had a purpose, a purpose to find what caused her son to scream.

Ratsujin's eyes were flinched due to the pain he was feeling, but the moment he heard that his mother was about to call his father. Ratsujin spoke. "NO!!"

Ratsujin overcame his pain and spoke as he forced his eyes to open, "No, Mom. I am perfectly okay."

Ratsujin continued, "See!" 

"But what that scream?" Zara asked.

Ratsujin swiftly made a false reason for his scream and said it without any hesitation. " It was my arm...." Ratsujin thought further and spoke out loud the moment he thought of the perfect reason for his scream. 

"A CRAMP!!"

"There was a cramp in my arm!"

"Yes, there was a cramp in my arm!"

Zara looked at Ratsujin's face and asked him one more time. "Are you sure it was a cramp, nothing else?" Zara continued, "Is there something that you are hiding from me."

Ratsujin remained silent as he heard his mother's words. He did not wanted to tell his mother what happened to him yesterday. Ratsujin knew how much stress and blame his mother would put on herself after she found out what happened to her son when she was in her brother's house, but Ratsujin also did not want to lie to his mother.

"Waaah! Waaah!"

"Nyaaah! Nyaaah!"

Suddenly, the crying noises of two babies entered Ratsujin's room. It was the crying noise of Ratsujin's baby brother and sister, Sasha Yatushi and Hakun Yahuga.

Just as Ratsujin heard his brother and sister crying noise, he thought of an idea that could not. An idea that could stop him from further lying to his mother.

"MOM! HAKUN AND SASHA WOKE UP!!"

"THEY ARE CRYING!!!"

"YOU GO AND SEE THEM WHILE I GET READY FOR THE ACADEMY!!" Ratsujin spoke to his mother in a panicked and rushed voice.

Zara first hesitated, but she could not hear her children cry. She took a final gaze at Ratsujin before leaving his room.
