Chapter 127 - Welcome Back, After A Long?!!

After seeing both of them calmed down, his assistants stopped peeping and left them alone. Normally, Aryan and Aditya would have spotted them within seconds, but this time it was an exceptional. None of them were aware that they were being watched by someone and kept on crying.

At that time Aryan wanted to tell him some other things to Aditya, through telepathy, but before he does his eyes became heavy and he fell asleep. "Hehe lil boy, I know you have so much to ask and tell but not know, recover your powers first," said Aditya and left the room.

After some unknown amount of time, Aryan opened his eyes again, and the first thing he saw was the familiar ceiling of his bedroom. He jumped off from the bed and started touching the things of his room. And to his pleasure, it really was his room. Not a dream, nor an illusion. He was feeling weakness all over his body, but it was not enough to stop him and his enthusiasm of returning home.

First thing first, as usual, he took a good long shower and refreshed his tired body and soul. After the bath he went downstairs as usual and found everyone standing there, waiting for him. 

Upon entering the dining hall, everyone, literally everyone, starting from his parents to grandparents to Sir Jean, everyone wished him a good morning and gave him a special place to sit. 

It was a feast in the palace that day, many varieties of delicacies were prepared for him. And to everyone's joy, not a single grain of food was wasted. Aryan munched down any to every dish served before him. After having a month's worth of breakfast, Aryan stopped and the breakfast time came to an end.

Till then he hadn't asked a single question to his parents, nor to his grandparents. All they had asked him was whether he was feeling good or any weakness in his body. But the weakness faded, after devouring those mountains of gourmet and other dishes.

Takeru and Yoshino cleaned the table and served tea and juices to everyone as per their daily routine, and it was time for the most awaited question-answer session with Aryan.

"Ahem, should we start?" asked Grand Elder. He already knew that his lil grandson was dying inside to ask the questions, so without doing any ado he started the session.

"Sure,"

"Sure,"

"Sure," agreed all the members present there.

Aditya, Anisa, Grand Elder, Granny Kotori, Sir Jean, Takeru, and Yoshino. These were all the members of the question-answer session, including Aryan.

"So first of all Aryan, did you notice something is weird with your body?" asked Grand Elder. 

Aryan couldn't understand what he meant, and asked, "You mean the feeling of weakness?"

"No, I mean something weird in your physical characters….." he hesitated for a while then pointed out what he wanted to say. "Lil Aryan, did you notice you have grown in height?"

Aryan "...."

'Grown in height?! What did he mean by that?' pondered Aryan and watched his hand holding the glass of orange juice. He started his hand and kept on staring at it before he coughed out the juice in his mouth and almost got choked by it.

"Cough, cough, cough. I noticed now," said Aryan, and ran upstairs to his bedroom. In the corner of the room was a giant mirror and a dressing table. Aryan stood before it and saw a new figure in the reflection.

The same blue eyes and same black hair apart from that everything on his body had changed. The cute round face was gone, and instead of it, he saw a handsome matured face of a boy. 

His height too had increased by fourteen to fifteen centimeters approx. Aryan went near the mirror and touched it with caution, to check it was a normal mirror or a magical one.

And to his surprise, it was the same normal mirror of his room that he had been using for the last two years. While thinking about something he opened the slider wardrobe attached to the room and took out all his clothes. Every pair, literally every pair, was exactly the same pattern and color that he liked, just the size was different. 

He already had a hunch that he had slept for a long time, but his estimation was within weeks, but his physical growths were giving him hints of months.

He walked down to the dining hall again, took a seat silently, and asked his gramps to start from the beginning. Grand Elder understood that he was still in a shock and told him the reason for his growth.

"Lil boy, I am going to tell you something that may sound weird and absurd, so don't freak out after hearing it."

"Okay," replied Aryan, and didn't say anything after that. He already had a hunch that the answer would be in months, but his estimation got crushed when his gramps opened his mouth again.

"Lil Aryan, you have been asleep for the last three years."

Aryan "...."

Grand Elder "...."

Aditya "...."

Anisa "...."

Sir Jean "...."

Takeru "...."

Yoshino "...."

Granny Kotori "...."

Silence~~~`

Completely silence prevailed in the room.

No one was taking the initiative to talk and break the ice. For Aryan, he was completely dumbstruck by the statement that his gramps told him.

For Grand Elder, he was giving Aryan some time to digest and process the information, and for the rest, they were observing Aryan and his reaction to Grand Elder's statement.

The room was silent and remained silent for the next ten minutes. No one moved, nor anyone sipped their tea or juice in this ten minutes.

Everybody was waiting for Aryan's reaction, and to stress up the atmosphere Aryan was keeping his quiet and taking his time to interpret the statement of his gramps.

After waiting for some more minutes, Granny Kotori couldn't take on the silence in the room and finally broke the ice.

"Ara ara Takeru chan, serve me some orange juice, please. I am in no mood to drink coffee today."

Takeru took some time to come out of his daze and served her a glass of orange juice.
