Narika: The Ghost Bride-Chapter 135 - One Hundred And Thirty-Five:They Are Coming For Her!

"Hendrix, where are you coming from?" Naomi queried her son the moment he entered the sitting room late in the night. He didn’t know that anyone was up by the time of the night that he had come back, after meeting up with Mario.

He turned instantly to see his mother standing, with hands akimbo. A worried look on her face, and he felt bad for keeping everyone out in the past two days he has left him, with no contacts to calm their nerves down.

Hendrix could remember he had run out of the house in a haste, and he didn’t give neither her nor Hanna, any explanation.

"I’m okay mom, but Mario is not okay. I need to tell you something." Hendrix said walking over to where she was, and took her hand." There is something you need to know about Mario. I didn’t mean to keep it away from you when i found out. But right now the situation is sorta out of control."

"What is it, son? Where’s Mario? Is he okay?" Naomi asked, as she touched Hendrix’s hand to see that it was shaking. At first, she didn’t have the intention of letting him go scot free without explaining anything to her, until she saw the urgency in his eyes.

"Narika is a witch. Her mother comes from a lineage of witches. But she’s gone, I couldn’t help her mother. She’s missing and i wasn’t able to..." Hendrix choked on his words, but Naomi palmed his face in her hands.

"Breathe, son. Everything is going to be just fine, my love." She cooed him, before she used her powers on him and he was back to normal. "Seat down." She helped him sit down, before settling down before him.

"Mario is the son of a wealthy man. He’s on the run because his father is not a good man. But he’s forced to go meet him because of his ties with the man, who’s woman slept with Lucifer and had his son. His name is Adrik. The chosen demon as stated in the prophecy."

Hendrix explained, he watched the way his mother said nothing but listened to him. But he knew that deep down, she’s going to have to tell him what their next move is, after she knows what Narika truly is.

"So, what exactly is it about Narika, you said Mario’s daughter is gone? You like her don’t you?" Naomi asked. She has been noticing the way he acts whenever the talk about Mario is being brought up, and besides, Hanna has been briefing her about this photo of the girl she saw in his room.

But at this point when Hendrix knew what sort of witch his mom was, and what her next step would be if he tells her what Narika means to him. She wouldn’t think twice before calling upon the council of witches, the executioners.

They were another circle of witches whose duties were to keep balance between earth, and the spiritual world. Their primal duty was to keep out any demon that would come to threaten the safety of the living inhabitants of earth. Well, to cut it short. They were also on a secret mission.

They were here to search for the child. They were here to stop the prophecy from happening, they were here to kill Narika!

She has been keeping a low profile while working undercover, insearch of Baram’s descendants. It’s been a decade since the search had been on for her, and now he couldn’t imagine telling his mother that the woman he was admiring was who she’s been looking for all these while.

She’s definitely going to kill Narika at first sight. Hendrix didn’t know what to do. He was confused but was he willing to sacrifice the peaceful living of everyone on earth, just to be with Narika?

If he doesn’t tell his mother the truth, and eventually Narina bears a son, it’s definitely going to be hard to curtail the destruction coming to earth. He didn’t know if he could leave with such a burden.

Yet, he still believed that there’s a way out of all these, Narija is just an innocent woman caught up in the drama that was going on in the underworld. There has to be a solution.

"Hendrix, what’s going on? Talk to me?" Naomi urged him.

"I do like her, mother. But i don’t think you would like her after hearing what i’m about to say. She’s not like any other girl mother." He said, nervously rubbing his hands together.

"Ofcourse, I would like any girl you introduce me to. Unless, you already knocked her up and you are keeping it a secret, but please don’t tell me she’s pregnant already, Son. Does Mario know?"

Hendrix would have laughed at his mother’s joke, on a normal day. He knew how dreamy she could be, and cool with the fact that Narika is the first woman he’s talking to her about. It only made it worse for her to think that this would be any normal love story.

No!

Their story isn’t a love story, it’s more like a story that shouldn’t have happened because he didn’t know how to live, knowing that Narika is with Lucifer and his son, but yet he still wouldn’t be able to save her because of his mother.

"She’s ..not pregnant,mother. We haven’t even been on a real date, she’s .. complicated."He sighed, before he stood up from the seat and turned his back on his mother.

"What sort of complicated, Hendrix? Why aren’t you looking at me, I’m here to listen to whatever you need to say. I would support you and her if that’s what would make you happy." Naomi said, getting really worried about his attitude.

"Then, what about you? It’s what you do. You protect the human world against external forces, and with her here, mother. They are coming for her."

"Who’s coming for her?"

"Lucifer."

"Why?’’Naomi’s brow quaked, because this is the first time she had any case about the king of hell coming down to earth, for a human until something clicked, and as she raised her eyes up to finally get the answer she needed from her son. He made his point first.

"He’s coming for her because she’s the descendant of the first witch, Baram. She’s the chosen witch, mother."
