Finding the serial killer

Chapter- 72

Chapter 72

Jake’s POV

Well today I am going to visit my mom after the restaurant is closed. I am going to sleep with her. She called me this afternoon and told me that she have something she wanted to tell me and also something she wants to give me.

I don't have any time in the afternoon so I decided to stay there for the night. That way I can spend some time with her and also tell her about my trip.

I informed about this to Xabert and he was okay with that since he has some conference with international clients. Since it is an video conferencing with international clients, to match the timing the meeting is scheduled in the mid night. So he had to stay in his office.

Xabert is not gonna come home today so it is better if I stay with my mom and little brother. It's been pretty long since I stayed with them. Christian is in his last year of high school. He is very bright and smart. He is the top student in his class. And he treats me as his role model.

He want to be a chef in the future like me and he wants me to teach him. He is a great guy and a very cute younger brother. He is very shy too just like me.

I let the restaurant before the closing time. I am planning of having my dinner with them. Mom is waiting for us all to have a dinner together. She must have made something nice. You know in our home everything starts with food. My father used to plan ahead to what will cook the next day. Whether it's holiday, weekend or any festival the menu is set before hand. All the ingredients should be prepared beforehand.

The place is a bit far where she lives. It take at least half an hour to reach there.

I reached the house and rang the bell. This is the house my father bought when he was working hard in his job as a chef and my mom was a nurse. They saved up the money and bought their dream house.

It is not too big. I have asked her many times to move-in in my house. It is more convenient since it is in a great condition and also we can be together there. But she always insisted on living in this house. I can understand her sentiments. She don't want to leave house where she had all the good memories with dad and her two childrens.

She struggled five long years when dad was depressed. She was very pressured mentally. My brother was born in such time. But she never let all that effect us. She was always loving no Matter how hard her day was.

She always cooked us food no matter how tired she was. She still had love towards dad. She tried her best in the hard times. She believes that it was the house that gave her enough strength to resist all the difficulties and motivated her to do better. She still feels that dad is watching us from somewhere and is happy seeing her in their home.

I can't convince her and I think I shouldn't do that either. It's her decision so as her daughter I should support her as best as I can.

Soon mom came and opened the door for me. She was all happy and smiling. She hugged me and said, "oh sweety I am very happy that you made it. I was waiting for you to spend more time with us. Come in your brother is very excited to see you. He was sad that he couldn't meet you the last time you came.

We won't let you sleep tonight we are going talk all night tonight", she said and pulled my inside the living room.

The decor had changed a bit since the last time I visited. It is more vibrant than before. It used to be more achromatic before. It had lots of pictures of us framed on the walls and shelves. On one wall there is a big cupboard with huge number of books in it. I looked at the book shelf. It had the recipe book I published last year.

It also had the books I use to read when I lived here.

"I remember when you bought this book, you were really inspired you use to tell me about the inspirational quotes you learnt from it. You brother seems to like it as well" my mom said seeing the book in my hand.

I was talking with my mom when i saw cristian coming from his room. He came and hugged me. His height is growing enormously.

It wasn't long ago when he used to fit in my hug but now he is double the size I am and I am not skinny at all. He is really tall and built.
