Roan's heart pounded as he stood in front of his family's house.
Roan was still not sure about it. Was it the right time to come here or not? But he knew that he needed to do it for his younger brother.
There was an emotional storm going through Roan's mind, controlling that he rang the doorbell.
Ding Dong!
After waiting for some time, a voice was heard from the speaker placed on top of the door.
"Who is it?" a voice called out from the other side.
Roan recognized that voice as his mother's voice. He spoke.
"Mom, it's me, Roan. Can you please open the door?"
There was no response from another side. After some time somebody opened the Doors. Roan put a forced smile on his face and looked at the front.
On the other side of the door was his father, standing right some distance away from the door. His mother was the one who opened the door.
Behind his father were his two older siblings. His big brother Luke and older sister Navya. Raon saw a small guy peeking from the end of the corridor. That is his smaller brother, Dhruv.
Seeing all the family at the door, Raon knew he chose the worst possible time to come to the house.
Roan looked at every member that was present in the house. Coming in front of them, there was no emotion in him. He did not care about them. He only cares about the little guy who was peeking his little head to see him.
His little brother was the only person Roan thinks of as a family. There were many reasons behind that, but Roan stop thinking much about them for now. He looked at his father and spoke.
"How you all have been in this time?"
His father did not speak instead, his big brother chimed in.
"Why you are asking like that? Dude, it's only 1 month since you left the house."
Roan spoke.
"I did not leave, but it was you guys, Who kicked me out of the house."
Luke spoke with a smile.
"It all because you were against our orders."
Roan spoke.
"But I do not want to be part… guild.."
His mother cut Raon's voice and spoke.
"Stop fighting, you two."
She come near Roan and spoke with a sweet smile.
"Are you okk son? You did not know how much I was worried about your health all this time."
Raon looked at the caring smile of his mother, with no change on his poker face.
His mother came near him and spoke.
"It must be hard for you to live alone, right?"
Roan nodded his head. His mother continued.
"Now you understand, we are not your enemy. We only want the best for you. So tell me you will go back to the guild right."
Hearing his mother, Roan's smile extends on his face and becomes creepy. He looked back toward his father. While thinking to himself.
'Things were not how I imagined my reunion with family. But I know something is weird here. Why my heart is sending me a sense of alarm? These guys will not let me leave only after talking.'
Roan spoke.
"Father, I am sorry, but I will not join that guild again."
After hearing this, his mother's face was frozen for a moment. But she went back to the smiling face in a sec and spoke to him.
"Ooh, so did you get another job to earn money?"
Roan shakes his head in denial. (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com
His mother spoke.
"no problem sweetheart, I know .."
While speaking, she moved toward Roan with her hand up. Coming in front of him, she. Woosh whoosh.
2 loud slap sounds came. Roan's face still had that frozen smile. This was within his expectation all along from his family.
His mother grabbed Roan's collar with her left hand and her right hand slapped the right cheek of Roan's face repeatedly. She shouted while slapping him.
"So why are you back, Bitch!? Didn't we give you a warning to only came to our house when you have a min amount of money? Why do I have to have a child like you? You are 20 and still, you cannot even give us a basic amount of money."
A laughing sound was heard.
His older brother commented from the side.
"I already told you guys that he will always remain a loser for his life."
His father spoke in a deep voice.
"How you dare to show your face to us? You can only live with us only when you follow our command or provide money."
Roan was in no condition to reply to them. It was not because of some emotion or anything. No, because his mother still slapping him. He did not stop her instead, he stared at her.
Getting a stare from him did not affect her. She continued to curse and slap him.
"Why the fck do you even want to come back if you do not earn or even want to follow our advice?"
After his mom slapped him a dozen times a loud shout was heard.
" mom stop slapping him."
This made his mom pause. Roan looked to the side to find that it was his big sister that shouted.
His big sister continued to speak.
"Mom, why are you hurting yourself because of him?"
She walked to the side and took out a wooden stick. Swinging that wooded rod in her hand, she looked at dad and spoke while handing that stick to dad.
"Dad, you know how thick skin he is. Why are leaving all your work for mom? Use this wooden stick to guide him in the right way. You need to use the proper tool for people like him. See, he did not have an even ounce of shame. See how he is staring at mom."
His big brother also added.
"Yes, dad you need to teach a proper lesson to him."
Dad took the wooded stick and nodded his head and started beating Roan with the stick.
