Chapter - 05

"Mom I..... I...." Ares Walker started to shutted.

"How can you do this Ares?" Madam Crystal Walker raised her voice at her only son for the first time.

Ares lowered his head. Tears were rolling down his soft cheeks. For the first time in his life his mom raised her voice at him. He really hurt his mom very hard.

Paul Jones decided to keep his mouth shut. He didn't want to interfere between mother-son conversation.

Madam Walker went to her son and hugged him tightly and tears also started to fall from her eyes. With the familiar warmth from the hug, Ares burst into loud cry. He couldn't hold back anymore.

After sometime they both calm down. Paul Jones excused himself to give them privacy.

When they settled down on a private room in the restaurant. Ares Walker said in a low tone "Mom I am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please forgive me mom."

Madam Walker didn't answer him insisted asked "When did all this start? When did Zeus Allen start to torture you?"

"Mom, Zeus didn't torture..." Ares's word cut by Madam Walker.

"Don't take his side in front of me and tell me everything if you want me to forgive you." Madam Walker demanded.

Ares took a deep breath and started to tell his mother everything. He needed his mother's forgiveness. If she didn't forgive him then he would break down completely. From childhood to until now his mother made time for him no matter how busy she was. But he didn't want to meet her. Because she could tell from his face that he was in pain, he wasn't well. So he decided not to meet her. On the other hand his father didn't spend much time with him. All the time he was with him to teach him business nothing else. And Zeus already hate him to the core. If his mother didn't forgive him then how could he lived.

After hearing everything from Ares, Madam Walker didn't know what should she felt. Should she became sad for her son's suffering or should she became angry for Zeus's wrong doings towards her son. She was unconsciously crying. How could she call herself mother when she even didn't aware of her son's suffering.

Ares quietly observed his mom. He could see the guiltiness on her eyes. He knew she is blaming herself for everything. He took her this habbit. He would also always feel guilty and blame himself for everything. He hugged her and patted her back.

"Don't blame yourself, mom. It's not your fault. It's all Zeus Allen's fault. How can he did this to me who is most adorable and beautiful person?" Ares broke the hug and pouted. He tried to convince her. She smiled seeing his silliness.

"How can you behave like this after all this." Madam Walker smiled slightly.

"Mom, I know I was at fault." Said Ares.

"You weren't at fault Ares. I said he had to marry whoever his parents arrange for him." Said Madam Walker.

"But I was his friend. I can stop the marriage." Said Ares.

"Yeah. You are his friend. But if he take you as his friend then he should asked you to refused the marriage. He can talk to you in this matter. So it's his fault. Don't blame yourself, okay?" Said Madam Walker and Ares nodded his head.

"Ok but you also don't blame yourself. I didn't want you to worry about me that's why I didn't tell you." Said Ares.

"Ok. But promise don't hide anything from me, ok?" Said Madam Walker and Ares again nodded his head.

"Ok, promise." Said Ares.

"Let's go home." Said Madam Walker.

"Ok." Said Ares.

They went towards the parking lot and Ares was about to entered his car but his mom stopped him.

"You are not going back to Zeus Allen's mansion, Ares." Ordered Madam Walker.

"What do you mean, mom? Didn't you say to go home?" Ares asked as he was confused.

"Yes, I said to go home. I didn't mean to Allen Mansion I mean Walker Mansion." Said Madam Walker.

"But mom. Allen Mansion is my home now." Said Ares.

"Which home are you talking about, Ares? You call that place your home which your so-called husband turned into a brothel." Said Ares.

Ares lowered his head. His mom cupped his face and made him to look at her.

"Ares don't lower your head before anyone even before me, ok? I don't want my baby lower his head before anyone. I feel bad whenever you lower your head. You are not at fault ok. If you do something wrong then lower your head to admit your fault and apologize otherwise never lower your head. If you always lower your head people will think you are weak. You have to be strong, ok? You have to show everyone including that useless Zeus Allen who didn't value you that you are not weak. Kindness isn't your weakness. You are strong. You are capable of doing everything, ok?" Said Madam Walker.

Ares nodded his head and entered his mother's car. His car would be brought back to Walker Mansion later.

In the car Ares and Madam Walker sat side by side. Ares's head was rested on his mother's shoulder who was stocking his hair softly.

"Do you really want to divorce Zeus Allen?" Asked Madam Walker.

"No." Replied Ares.

Madam Walker frowned "Why?"

"Because I changed my mind." Ares replied.

He sat straight and looked into his mother's eyes. Madam Walker stared at him confusedly.

"Mom didn't you say I have to be strong. I have to show everyone including that useless Zeus Allen who didn't value me that I am not weak. My kindness isn't my weakness. I want to be strong, mom. I want to show everyone that I am capable of doing everything." Said Ares.

"What do you want Ares?" Madam Walker asked.

"I want Zeus Allen to taste his own medicine." Said Ares.

"How? What are you planning Ares?" Madam Walker asked.

"Mom I...... I...... I want to ..... I" Ares shuttered. Then he took a deep breath. He couldn't shutter. He had to be strong.
