Chapter 41 - Freedom And Revenge

"Suan, what are you thinking? That customer has been calling you for a long time," Sohee says, hitting Suan on the head with a stick from behind. "Nothing, Grandma, I'm leaving." Saying this, Suan pats his head and walks towards the customer, then gets back to work at the restaurant. "I don't want my son to be taken away from me like you," Mausam's mother, Suman, Master's wife, says tearfully. "Okay, stop crying, I'll find another way," Master says. "Is anyone inside?" someone calls from outside. "How are you?" Master asks, looking at Momo. "I'm absolutely fine. I have something for Guruji, I need you to accompany me," Momo says, looking at Master. "But tell me what the work is," Master asks. "Come with me, I'll tell you there." Saying this, Momo and Master walk towards the small monastery in the village. "Okay then, I'm leaving. My friends will be waiting for me. As soon as I find out, I'll come and tell you." Saying this, Yakib bids farewell to Yen and his friends and heads off to his base. "How are you, Guruji?" Momo and Master look at them and ask. "If you two are here together, there must be something going on," Lama says, looking at Momo and Master. "I need to talk to you about something important," Momo says, looking at Lama. "Tell me what you want to talk about," Lama says, looking at him. "Can you somehow give my son the power of the dragon, just like you've given to the other children?" Momo says, looking at Lama. "How did you know?" Lama asks, looking at him. "I also came to watch the competition when I saw the children who have the power of the dragon," Momo says, looking at Lama. "By the way, where is your son, Remus?" Lama asks. "He's gone out, he'll be back tomorrow," Momo replies. "But I've already decided to call the Mausam, just waiting for Master's approval," Lama says. "Guruji, I've spoken to Suman, but she's not agreeing, so I want you to give that power to Remus," Master says, looking at Momo. "Okay, as you wish," Lama says."Before I empower your son, I have something to ask you," the lama says, looking at Momo. "Ask me, Guruji," Momo says, looking at him. "Aren't you afraid that after acquiring the dragon's power, your son will also become a part of the war and could even lose his life?" the lama says, looking at her. "I know, Guruji, but someone has to fight. We've been imprisoned in this village for so many years. People outside are fighting just to survive, and we here are living in fear of death. Some have accepted it as their fate and learned to live like this. If we don't do something now, there will be nothing left to save." "I don't want my son to live like a coward,". "It's better for him to die fighting for someone else." Momo's anger is clearly visible on her face as she says this. "You want to avenge your husband's death. I'm right, isn't it? That's why you raised your son like a warrior, not just a son," the lama says, looking at her. What difference does it make? I've raised him in such a way that even if death comes his way, he won't run away, but will face it like a warrior," Momo says. "I'll give you the power on one condition: after receiving it, your son will stay with us here in the monastery. Do you agree to this condition?" the lama looks at him and asks. "I do," Momo says. "Guruji, Suan is insisting on meeting you," Yama says, coming inside. "Okay, let him come," the lama says. Suan comes in and bows his head to the lama and everyone else, greeting them. "You look exactly like your father, only your eyes and nose are like your mother's," Momo says, looking at Suan. "So tell me, what are you here for," the lama asks. "It seems you all had an important discussion. I'll come later." Suan starts to leave. "No, we're done talking," the master says. "Okay, then Mausam told me something," he says, telling Suan Lama everything. "Is this true, Guruji?" he asks, looking at Suan Lama. "Everything you've heard is true," Lama replies.
