The Abandoned Hunter

Chapter 34: Family - Part 2

He slowly knocked the door.

'Knock knock'

Then a sound was heard from within.

"Coming, please wait."

'Badum badum badum'

Jay's Heart was beating fast. He wanted to see his mother immediately. Each and every second he was getting tensified. He was thinking whether his mother will be able to identify him or not.

His mother finally opens the door.

"Yes...? Who..."

The moment she laid eyes on Jay, her expression changed. Her eyes became teary and her hand started to tremble with joy.

"Jewel... is that you?"

"Haha, yes it's me mom...."

Jay was also called as jewel by his family members.

"Wh-where have you been? Are you alright?"

She hugged him tightly as she said this.

"I am fine mom, I was just busy these days because I was studying for entrance exams."

Jay had never told his family members that he was a hunter. In fact the reason why he told that he was shifting the house was for studies when in reality it was because the hunter association was near.

Jay too hugged her and both of them cried to their hearts fullest.

AFTER 2 MINUTES...

"Okay, come in. I'll prepare something to eat."

Jay immediately came and sat on the sofa. His mom went in to prepare something while Jay was taking a look at the things that were kept in the house as those were filled with a lot of memories.

"Jewel, come wash up. I've made your favourite food."

Jay immediately went and washed his hands. Then he returned and sat at the dinning table.

"Mom... won't you be eating?" Is what he said after looking at the quantity of the dishes.

"Haha, I just had a while ago."

Jay didn't ask anything further but he definitely knew that she hadn't eaten anything properly. Her skin was sticking with her bones and it was as if she has been starving since long.

Also quite a lot of furniture was missing from the house. Jay didn't ask anything about these things since he was smart enough to know about the situation.

After finishing the meal he picked up the plates to wash them.

"It's fine. You take rest, I'll wash them."

"No mom, you should take rest. I'll wash them up for you."

He immediately went and started cleaning the plates when his gaze suddenly fell upon a crushed paper that was thrown near a dustbin.

"Eh? What's that?"

Jay picked up the paper and started to open it. Even though it was wrinkled the words could be seen clearly.

THE LETTER:

Hey you bitch, we want you to get out of your house immediately. We are going to give you 1 week time. If you don't empty the place then you know what we will be doing to your son and daughter. Beware, either pay 1 million USD or empty the place, it's your choice but if it isn't done within a week, then we will come to thrash your place and use your daughter's body to earn money since we have heard that your daughter is quite a beauty.

Jay crushed the paper immediately after he read it. He grit his teeth and clenched his fists.

He was about to leave the kitchen to ask his mom the reason for not informing about this warning letter till now when he suddenly saw something else.

"Huh...? Poison? What's poison doing here?"

A poison which is rarely used among the assassins called the blood poison was kept there.

It's almost impossible for it to just come by itself to the kitchen. When Jay saw this, shivers ran down his spine and he immediately rushed towards his mom.

"Mom..!!!! What's this? Blood poison? What is it doing here?"

"Uhh... that..."

She didn't have the will to look at his eyes. She was already broken from within and took such a decision without thinking much.

She suddenly knelt and said, "I'm sorry Jewel, I didn't know what to do... my mind went blank when I read the letter last week, and I called you so many times to ask you but your phone was switched off... I'm sorry son..."

Jay ran towards her and lifted her. He hugged her and patted her. His mom cried to her fullest and vent out all the sorrow that was stored inside of her till now.

"Don't worry mom, I'll take care of this mess..."

"What!!? No! You mustn't do anything, they will kill you..."

Jay with empty and dead eyes said, "Mom, I'm not the shrimp anymore... don't worry, nothing will happen to me."
