Waiting For The Light

My Parents(1)

"These two are for you " When Benjamin and Kevin arrived Mr Clerk gave the invitations.

"You must take this chance. Because this is not something easy to achieve. And we are so proud that our students got invited to the Magic Academy when they are still new students. 

You will get to know powerful people and you also can become a powerful one for sure." Mr Clerk looks so happy.

" But Can we get used to there," Kevin asked.

" Why not? , more students are gonna enter there " Mr Clerk.

" You are saying that this is a good opportunity. Then what about the things you taught us? Should we still hide them there also What if they blame us or do something like that? "Benjamin asked.

" There is no saying like you must expose everything you have. It's just that everyone can't hide their things. It's your like. But I think hiding those is the best thing for now. Don't expose them until you don't have another way. 

And I wanted to tell you that even though you are hiding them you should still do some training with them. If not later you will be at disadvantage." Mr Clerk advised.

"I have already sent a message, saying that you two will be students of Magic Academy. Next week you will have to go " Mr Clerk said to them.

" Next week? " 

" Mmm. And also there are no studies with books there. Only magic. So you will have to work hard

if you won't be in the same range as them "Mr Clerk said again.

Benjamin and Kevin were so surprised because Mr Clerk has already done everything for them.

" Thank you, sir " They thanked him.

" Excuse me, sir ...I want to talk with you " 

A person asked from out of the room. But that voice was familiar. 

" Peter? Come in ..come in" 

Peter was in a hurry that he closed the door so soundly. 

" I heard that you got invitations from Magic Academy. Is that for them? " He asked while pointing to Benjamin and Kevin.

" Yes, Why are you asking this suddenly? "Mr Clerk asked him.

"No... No... If they joined there, until their graduation they won't be able to see anyone. Aren't they? "

"Yes.. "

" How many years are there ?" Peter was sweating. Benjamin and Kevin were confused by his strange behaviour.

" 5 years " 

" I see. Then can I talk with Benjamin? Only the two of us? I have something important for him " Peter said. 

" No problem and no hurry... There are 2 weeks left " Mr Clerk said to calm down Peter who was already a mess.

" I see .. Then Benjamin. wanted to take more time to tell you this. But I think that there won't be any chance in the future for that... So Get ready. Tomorrow I will take you to a place. You must come with me. This is so important. " He said to Benjamin.

" Okay. I will wait for you tomorrow " Benjamin said. But he didn't have any idea does he have to say.

In the evening of that day, A lot of students came to visit Benjamin and Kevin with gifts... Their room was full of gifts.    

They were so happy to see that a lot of people love them. There were a lot of things were as gifts. And there were love letters too. Both of them have got more than 6 letters. They didn't even read them because they were too lazy to love them. Both of them had the same idea. It's not the time yet. 

The next day, Benjamin went out with Peter. When he saw Peter invited him to get into the car he remembered that Mike has already warned him. 

" Can't we go by another vehicle ?" Benjamin asked with a pale face.

" No..no... Don't worry... I will drive slowly... I promise you " Peter promised him.

Then Benjamin had no choice. So he got into the car. Even though it was not as fast as before, it was still fast. But it was just right. They arrived at a house. That house was a little old, but not that much. 

" Come in.." Peter said to Benjamin after he opened the door

Benjamin entered the house. That was a well-maintained place when it comes to the inside. Peter made him a cup of coffee. Peter and Benjamin were drinking coffee when a cat came into Peter's embrace. That was pretty big. 

" Ah!.. Lemon... Look... Today we have guests" Peter said while petting the cat. 

" Lemon? " Benjamin asked with a confused tone.

" Ah... Lemon is its name" Peter said while laughing.

" Hah! What kind of name is that? Who will give a name like that to a cat? " Benjamin asked him back.

" It's your mother," Peter said with a low voice. 

 

When this fell into Benjamin's ears he felt like his heart stopped. His mother? Why did Peter say his mother named the cat?

" What tell me again... My mother ... You know her? Tell me please " Benjamin was so impatient. He was so excited when he heard about her mother.

" Don't be in such a hurry... I wanted to tell you everything I know. That's why I brought you here. I wanted to tell you everything when I saw you the first time. But that time you didn't even have bloomed I just waited for you to become more mature. After I taught your team, that time also I thought I still have more time. But when I heard that you got invited to the Magic Academy, I rushed to meet you. There are a lot of things you need to know. "

" Do you know my mother? Is this real? I am really glad to know that I found someone. Please tell me about her. What happened to her? I still don't know what she looks like... Ah... Then you must know about my father too want to know about him too. Please don't miss anything. I am ready to hear out everything." Benjamin was almost begging for some precious things.

" Your mom and your dad... I know both of them.

Here ... This is a portrait of your parents." Peter gave a picture to Benjamin.

In the picture, a girl and a boy were hugging each other. They looked like students.  Because the picture was taken when they were so young. They were smiling so happily.

Benjamin couldn't control his tears. It was his first time seeing his parents. He cried like a child. He y. When he saw the two people in the picture smiling, his heart ached so much. That's his parents.

" Is this the only one you have? " Benjamin asked between his sobbings.

" I am sorry..... That's the only photo I have. I kept it carefully for you. If I saw you one day, I decided to give it to you. Keep it safe. That's the only memory they left even for me. But you want it more than me. So you should keep it. " 

Peter was also about to cry.

" You must have had a close relationship with them. Please tell me more. " Benjamin asked for more details.

" Your father was my best friend. We were so close just like you and your best friend Kevin " 

Peter started to reveal his dark past.
