Retaliation of Disabled Girls
Chapter 15 Meeting With Keith's Mother

Gauri's house was far from the outside world. This simple house is in a wilderness surrounded by animals. This forest is protected by magic, so it must cross a certain path to get to Gauri's house. There are no neighbors. He just wanted to spend the rest of his life in peace.

Knock on the door of his house. Soon the door was open. A fit grandmother was opening the door. 

"What are you doing?" ask Gauri.

"I want to ask you about a magic, Witch Gauri" I replied.

I didn't want to call her a grandmother because somehow it seemed disrespectful. He let me in.

Many wrinkles on his face but he did not use a cane to walk. His horn was not like an old man, only his face looked old.

We sat in the living room. Cups and teapots drifted towards us. Gauri served me tea.

"What magic do you want to ask?" ask Gauri.

"I want to know about the magic of repeating time," I replied without further ado.

Gauri's hand, which brought the cup closer to her mouth, stopped. He put down his cup.

"There are two types of people who will ask about this magic. People who want to repeat time or people who have repeated time. Which one are you?" sergeant Gauri.

I widen my eyes. Should I be honest with him? Is he trustworthy? 

"Can you keep a secret?" many doubt.

"I never divulged my conversation with anyone no matter what," she assured me.

I saw the look in his eyes. He meant. Although it looked firm, there was gentleness in it.

"I've repeated time, what I want to ask is why time can repeat itself. I mean why can I repeat time?" 

"To perform time-repeating magic required the blood of a time witch and an ordinary witch. Then the magician of time will cast a spell to return to the past. The time witch and the ordinary witch who sacrificed all her blood will remember her previous life" Gauri explained.

"Do you know who the time witches are?"

I need to know who the witch is. Why did he repeat time? Why is he using my blood? Is it because I'm a disabled girl so she doesn't mind her plans maybe I'll get stuck in this life? If that's why he made a big mistake. 

"I don't know. I've moved away from the outside world. All I know is one me."

Gauri the time witch? Then maybe....

"Do you remember any previous lives?"

"No" he answered quickly.

Apparently not. Then who is that guy? I died in a previous life sacrificed someone to repeat time. Who is that guy? I can only guess that the man is a witch killer.

"What is the magician's power?"

"I can't say it because it's my unique magic."

Unique magic is very difficult. Gauri won't reveal it even if I force her.

"Are there any side effects from repeating time?" my many.

"You could say a lot of people's fates have changed. If for magic users to repeat time, there is no because they have sacrificed themselves in the past."

That's right, a lot of casualties fell on my life this time. Everyone's fate has changed. I also did not feel any side effects from time-repeating magic other than the thing mentioned by Gauri.

"Alright, thank you, Witch Gauri. When there's a need I'll come back."

"You are young."

***

I have arrived at the Skyrise residence. My eyes were fixed on that familiar figure. I don't know why I have to keep meeting him at this residence, even though he's not a resident here. Stella approached me.

"It's nice to meet you, sorry I couldn't talk to you. My needs here are done, I go home first" he said.

I don't want to spend time with you. It made my day worse.

"I'm so sorry about it, Stella. I wish I could talk sometime," I answered a lie.

We smile at each other fake smiles. Then, continue the steps towards our respective goals. Keith was waiting for me. He thrust his arm so I could embrace. I did it while rolling my eyeballs.

He drove me to his mother's room. Stella's presence constantly harasses me. Keith realized something was troubling his fiance's mind.

"What's Diana?" ask Keith to see my face.

Looks like my face looks bad until Keith scrunched his face. "I hope Stella reduces her time to come here, because there could be unpleasant rumors" I replied.

"She just stopped by to talk to Iris," Keith responded in defense of Stella.

It was just Stella's wits in order to meet Keith. Keith was too innocent to notice.

I stared at Keith sharply. "She could meet with Iris outside. I just don't want any bird news of our engagement cracking because Mr. Skyrise's arrival guest is another girl, other than her fiance," I said.

"I'm sorry, Diana. I didn't think it was there. I'll tell Stella not to come to my house often. Then, Iris, I'll let you know that it's better to meet her friends outside" Keith said. He obeyed my every word, but the last one I thought was unnecessary.

"Iris could meet her friends at the Skyrise residence if they were more than one person. If it's just one person I think it's better off outside, Keith," I suggest.

Actually I want to emphasize that only Stella should not come to this residence, but this will make Keith misunderstand that I am jealous of him. It would be better to apply to all the girls alone, that way the rumors would not spread.

"All right, Diana." Keith nodded.

I turned my eyes forward. We've arrived in front of Keith's mother's room. Keith knocked on the door and let me in.

I bowed my head and greeted Keith's mother. Keith's mother lay in bed. He's trying to get up. Keith helped her hold her mother's head against the back of the bed.

Keith's mother looked very weak. Body skinny. Her hair looks very thin. There are some visible gray hair. Even so she looks beautiful. I think when he was young he must have been approached by a lot of men.

Keith's mother smiled at me. I smiled back at him.

Keith came back to my side. Then introduce myself. "His mother is Diana, my fiancee."

"I'm Diana Moonlight, Keith's fiancee, Mrs Skyrise." I introduced myself further.

"Don't be too formal with me. You can call me Mother" Keith's mother said.

I was surprised, Keith was the same. We haven't gotten that close. I can't call her mother Mother. However, when I saw his eyes I could not resist.

"All right, Mother" I said with a smile.

Keith's mother smiled. He looked at Keith. "Can you leave us alone, Keith?"

"Why, Mother?" ask Keith.

"I just want to talk to your fiancee alone" replied the man softly.

Keith looked at me while gesturing to ask for my approval. I'm nodding. Keith understood, then looked down at his mother. He left us alone in his mother's room.

What does Keith's mother want to talk to me about? Why should it be both? Is this important? There are so many questions that are going around in my head. I could only stare at Mother Keith's meaningful smile.
