Rudra logged out of Omega and sighed deeply when he saw that his gaming pod had been upgraded once more.
There were runic inscriptions all over the room where he was gaming and although earth was surrounded by a mana barrier , the flow of mana was heavily concentrated in Rudra's room.
Rudra thought about checking the cam's once more but after deliberation he decided he did not want to see more disturbing aliens. There was still a month of normalcy left and the weird stuff could wait till after that.
Rudra washed up and looked at his new appearance in the mirror.
" I look nothing like myself " Rudra sighed as he spoke, he looked like an angel from medeival paintings and comic books , long blonde hair, ocean blue eyes , chiseled jawline , charming facial features and a lean ripped body.
Compared to the slightly fat, acne covered black eyed black haired 6/10 human he was a decade ago he had changed completely.
" Change is good , change is good ". Rudra murmured when another voice startled him
" Do you always talk to yourself like this master?"
" The fu** " Rudra cursed, he had completely forgotten Gaia was implanted in his brain now and that he was no longer alone in his own mind.
" Gaia if you want to peacefully co-exist with me you need to ask me for permission to speak first , you understand?
Don't startle me, my monologues are important for my mental stability ". Rudra instructed Gaia with a slight frown.
Rudra was a guy who contemplated stuff in his mind a lot.
He was a deep thinker and it became awkward for him to do so knowing someone else was actively reading his thoughts.
Although having Gaia was cool , this was a major downside as well.
Gaia continued " master , the cuber corp officials want a meeting with you to formally give you the reigns of cuber corp and start helping you with administrative tasks for earth , should I charter a jet for you to take you to their island? "
Rudra frowned , why the hell was there always more work?
Whenever he finished work , there was more work waiting for him which always seemed to be important.
" NO , Gaia , tell the cuber corp to politely fuck off , i will be by my wife's side for the next month and even if entire humanity implodes on itself i don't give a solitary fuck , i need my family time ".
Gaia wanted to interrupt and remind Rudra of his duties however once she sensed her boss's emotions she decided to wisely shut up.
Rudra had been through a lot and if anyone deserved a vacation it was this man.
Rudra drove home with a big smile on his face, if was the first time he was going home thinking about all the fun things to do with Naomi over the next month instead of worrying about some war or fight.
As he pressed the bell of his house he shuffled nervously like a teenager , as he was wearing a formal tuxedo and holding a bunch of pink roses.
As Naomi groggily came to open the door , she was surprised to see the well dressed and angelic looking Rudra holding flowers for her as she felt like she was going to melt.
" For you my lady " Rudra said giving Naomi the fragrant flowers as he took his hand and gave it a light kiss.
Rudra lifted her up as if she weighed nothing and started to heartily laugh as he declare " I'm home ".
Naomi and Rudra spent a good two hours silently cuddling and enjoying each other's warmth after which Naomi started to sob uncontrollably.
" What happened? " Rudra asked , he was perplexed by his wife's behaviour
" I missed you " Naomi replied bursting into more tears.
Pregnancy was a hard time for a mother and it was a period where she needed constant emotional support.
Although she had a nanny and Max , nobody could replace the void left by Rudra and it had been a truly hard time for Naomi without him.
The warmth and comfort that Rudra brought could not be matched by anyone else in the world for Naomi.
Rudra stroked her hair and kissed her forehead as he said " I'm here now, i promise "
Naomi looked at Rudra half in disbelief as she said " no more immediate work? "
Rudra smiled and said " no work at all "
Naomi could not beleive what she was hearing, she had became accustomed to Rudra always leaving on urgent work and made peace with living alone knowing that her husband was an important man.
Her tears subsided and a smile spread on her face when she realised that the next month would probably be the last and the best of her life.

( Meanwhile Jhonny )
Max was chasing Sophie who had ran away from the hospital and outside the safe walls of the upside.
When Jhonny saw this he sighed as he started to follow the kid silently.
Inwardly Jhonny knew that it was a dumb choice for a kid to run into the streets when it was full of crime and gangs. However, Jhonny did not intervene because he wanted to let the boy experience the hardships once for himself so that he never repeated such mistakes again.
What Jhonny did not know was that Max did not voluntarily run into the unsafe streets but did so because his crazy girlfriend apparently thought that some street hag who was constantly flirting with Max on the forums had stolen her boyfriend away from her because Max personally replied with a wink emoji to her comments, which is why she was running with a knife to her house to murder her.
Max had no idea why Sophie was doing what she was doing but he knew he needed to stop her.
While Max could not see it Jhonny could clearly understand the situation as he saw Max running after Sophie shouting at her to stop as the old man sighed and said " this girl will be the boy's undoing ".
