Master Artist

After waking up I turned on my phone. Again Mom's half nude pic comes into view. I slept last night while looking at it.

I felt guilty when I saw the Mangalsutra on her neck as it reminds me of Dad. I chose the option to delete it.

(A/N: A Mangalsutra, or Tali, is a necklace that the groom ties around the bride's neck in the Indian subcontinent, in a ceremony called Mangalya Dharanam within a Hindu wedding. The necklace serves as a visual marker of status as a married Hindu woman.)

But then I wasn't able to delete it so I hid it in the vault apps so that none could see it. I went to the toilet and freshened up myself.

I went out for breakfast. But I found out that the kitchen was empty. Di must have overslept today. So I went to her room to wake her up.

I paused at the door and I saw how she was sleeping soundly without any care of the world. She was almost naked, it must be the heat.

I chuckled and grinned suddenly. I walked inside and grabbed a marker from her table and walked to her side.

I didn't make too much noise to not wake her up. I leaned towards her and started to display my art technique which was worse than that of a 5-year-old child.

I made a face on her breast using her nipple as nose. I stop after doing the same for the other one. I felt proud of the masterpiece. I then pull down her T-shirt slowly and cover her.

After some thinking, I did extra work on her. Only stopped when I was satisfied with the design. 'Oh, she is gonna kill me.' I give a big wide smile, not regretting a bit of my work.

I then put down the pen and woke her up. "Di, Di, wake up. It's already morning."

"One more minute." She replied

"You will be late for class. There is only 30 minutes left." I replied.

She got up instantly and looked at the time. "Shit, why didn't you wake me up earlier."

She got off the bed and ran to the bathroom. I quickly left her room. I wouldn't be able to eat at home. So I decided to get ready and leave for school.

Just when I finished putting on my shirt I heard a scream. "Arjunnnnnn." I knew she already found out about my deeds.

She opened my door. She wrapped a towel around her body and was looking at me angrily. She came directly at me and grabbed my ear and pulled it.

"Why did you do that? You know how hard it is to clean the ink." She was angry at my art, not at where I did.

"Ouch! Di, it hurts. Ouch." I screamed in pain. She let go of me hearing my scream but was still angry at me.

"It's your fault. You know how much I love painting and you were sleeping with the best paper in the world." I replied while rubbing my ear.

She felt a little happy but was still angry. She refuted "Then tell me when did writing become your hobby too."

I grinned and replied "This morning." She grits her teeth and says "What do you mean by 'garden needs to be cleaned.'"

I nodded and said, "That's a sage phrase."

Her face turned red and replied "Unlike you, I study seriously. I just forgot to cut my pubic hair because of that."

I smiled embarrassingly and rubbed the back of my head. She sighed and said, "You will clean your mess once I return."

She got out of the room without hearing my reply. As for me, I still didn't regret what I did. That's one of my many masterpieces. I had done that many times to her.

:::::::::::::::::::

I was reading the novel while hiding from teachers. I wanted to finish it as soon as possible. But it was really big. I didn't know how long it would take for me to finish it.

I started to like the MC so far. I like how he punished the Xiao clan's young master. I was also surprised about Jasmine and MC's luck. God's blood, Divine veins, master of all elements. I can only imagine how strong the MC will become.

I was feeling envious too. I didn't know if I would become as strong as him with my system. After searching the internet I know how broken systems can become.

I was worried after reading about some manipulative Systems, but was relieved that mine wasn't like that. I don't want to be a slave to the system.

Suddenly I got a text from Mom.

Mom: "Arjun, I sent you the money in your account."

Me: "Wait, let me check."

I went to the bank website and checked the deposit. After that, I replied to Mom.

Me: "Yeah, I got it."

Mom: "Good. Buy some beautiful modern clothes."

Me: "Okay."

Mom: "Don't forget the lingerie. By only those, what you like to see me in."

Me: "I am in class, mom. I will text later." I felt shy reading that.

Mom: "Okay. I will wait for the parcel. I am excited about it."
