Chapter 53: home sweet home


    rk involuntarily smiled as he drove into the familiar looking street. The sports car drew a lot of attention from passersby, as a lot of people stared at the sparkling car. He already transmitted a message through his imnt to his houses A.I. On arriving, the gate automatically opened as he drove inside thepound. They all came down after he parked the car at the parking lot.


    The house looks exactly the same as three years ago, technology really makes things more convenient, rk thought in appreciation. Benny, Leo, wee to my home, its not too big but its better than some other homes.


    Hahaha rk what are you saying, the house ispletely fine, its even better than I expected, Leomented with augh. Despite the small talks they didnt linger in one ce as they quickly entered the house.


    rk plopped down directly on the sofa as he finally felt the strain from the 6 hours speedy journey seeping in. On the way he already ordered food from a local restaurant. The courier arrived with the food shortly after, as he already paid online, the delivery man returned directly after dropping it.


    The 2 guys were pretty famished also as Leo smiled gratefully at him before they wolved down the food together. rk slept not too long after eating, Leo and Benny rxed as they switched on the television watching aedy program leisurely. They slept shortly after also, leaving the television on.


    rk woke up in the night to find both Leo and Benny already asleep on the sofa. He decided not to disturb their sleep as he got a nket to cover them with. The A.I finally weed him officially as it discovered both of his friends asleep.


    A. Is were designed to not reveal themselves to outsiders and visitors so that in case of any assault it can surprise the assaulters by erecting hidden defenses.


    Good evening master rk, wee back home, the A.Imunicated with rk by speaking through the speakers installed in the house. It transferred a bunch of documents to his imnt about the expenses for thest 3 years. He simply ignored it; I dont have the time for all that, he muttered in a contemtive tone.


    rk started nning on where he would take his twopanions to tomorrow and a lot of other things. He finally slept in his bedroom after making some series of decisions.


    The golden rays of the sun shone into the room as rk stretched, yawned before standing up. Woah!! Its already to 8:00am, I think those two guys are already awake.


    Good morning master, the A.I greeted materializing as a robot in the form of a projection. rk already instructed itst night that it could appear before his friends. He went downstairs and saw the 2 boys watching another program on the television, as expected 2 uncultured pieces of shit, he cursed.


    Ah, rk you are awake, good morning,e and join us thisedian is really funny. Leo immediately chatted away on seeing rk while ignoring his glowering face.


    Are the 2 of you not hungry? You both woke up instead of cooking you are both here watching aedy program.


    Chill man, my guy Benny already cooked we were just waiting for you. Leo replied with a stop behaving like a kid expression on his face.


    Oh, if thats it lets eat then. rk said while feeling slightly awkward and weird. He knew Leo well enough to know his thoughts, but this new Benny was actually a diligent type. To even think of cooking after waking up was impressive in his perspective as he was sure that he nor Leo would do that, instead opting to eat in a restaurant.


    The 3 soldiers went outside onpletely brand-new clothes after eating. Surprisingly Benny bought identical clothes and shoes for the 3 of them, rk offered to pay but he vehemently refused. I cant pay for a battle art now, but this ispletely within my budget so chill man, he argued.


    They didnt take the car as they were prepared to go on a sight-seeing journey around rks neighborhood for the whole day. This was kind of a vacation to them and they were prepared to waste it in a way that they liked.


    The hallow of being the best student finally started showing as some rich men on luxurious cars frequently stopped to speak with them, after seeing them on the way. Most of these people asked for rk to have a photo with their kids, he figured that most of these kids were probably his fans. Not everyone recognized them, a lot of people here especially the poor and average ones didnt recognize them as they didnt watch their graduation ceremony.


    Only the rich fellows recognized them as they frequently stopped to greet them politely. The identity of being a soldier alone was enough to propel them into the higher ranks of society. The first ce rk took his friends to was a ce he went to almost on a daily basis when he was younger, his favorite restaurant Eat with delight.


    They quickly arrived as rk directly led them inside. Leo and Benny naturallyined about how theyve already eaten but rk easily nullified theirints.


    rk smiled involuntarily on entering as he saw the owner of the restaurant, the ageing woman sat at her favorite spot as always. Despite it already being 3 years, she still recognized him on sight.


    Little rk, is that you, the old woman asked with undisguised surprise. rk smiled wider on hearing this as he quickly went forward to give her a hug.


    Its really you, little rk you are already this big. I thought you left this area after your parents death. rk and the woman quickly ignored the 2 staring dumfounded boys as he told her about his experiences for the past 3 years. She smiled proudly at him as she continued listening to his story.


    This old woman upied a very special ce in rks heart, she was kind of his mom in a sense. His parents frequently brought him to eat here when he was small, that was when his parents still stayed mostly at home with him.


    rk slowly developed a bond with her after some time. She took him as her child, as her husband was already dead and she didnt have any biological child. He grew so fond of her that when his parents started going for their deployments, he came to stay with her every day. Her food was also very delicious so he simply ate at her ce for free. rk felt a feeling of fulfillment fill his heart when he saw her proud expression after finishing his story.


    She joked with him a little before congratting him on his graduation. She finally paid attention to rks ignored friends as she served them free food, she never took money from him even if he insists on it till forever.


    She packaged another food for them as take away before she sent them on their way. Leoined severely as they left but rk wasnt even listening to him as his moms word of advice still resounded in his mind.
