The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

"Let's go to a love hotel."

"Shut up and go home."

"Why?"

"Didn't we promise we wouldn't do anything until we graduate from high school?"

"But--"

"No buts."

To be honest, I want to go, but I won't. I can't.

It happened when we told her parents that we were going out. Her parents were really surprised. The first thing her mother asked me was, 'She is not blackmailing you, right?', even her parents thought that.

I have been to her house many times and even before we started dating, her parents were adorable… at least her mother was. When we told them we started dating, they were surprised and actually many things happened after that but let's talk about it some other time...

One day her father called me out to have a chat and I was nervous because it was the first time meeting him as a boyfriend. He asked many things about her, about how she is doing at school and stuff. He also told me about her past and how she doesn't get along with her twin sister. It was going well until he asked how far I have gone with Elena.

I didn't understand what he meant at first, but later he told me and warned me not to lay hands on her till we graduate from high school and if I did, they would sue me.

It's not like I am afraid of them, but both of her parents are lawyers. They are well known and have a good reputation.

And according to the new relationship guidelines, parents of both parties have the right to judge the relationship and they could make decisions if they want to; but there are limitations to what the parents or guardians can interfere with.

I am not worried about her parents, I am worried about mine, especially mom.

"I understand; we will go there once I have big ones."

They won't grow big in 1 year, right?

"I will make them the biggest in the world!"

That would be bad in many ways.

"Elena, come with me to my house."

"You want to do it in your room?"

"I don't; I will drop you off on my motorcycle."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

We reached my home.

"Oh, Das, you are early!" My mom said.

"It's nearly 5 PM."

"Your dad and I are going to your grandparents' place."

"Why so suddenly?"

"He called us to discuss you."

"Me?"

"You will be turning 18 soon."

"Oh, it's about that?"

"Yeah, we will be back before midnight."

"Okay, take care."

My parents left.

"What was that about?" Elena asked.

"I told you today, remember?"

"About the royal family and stuff?"

"Yeah, I will turn 18 soon, so..."

"I see."

"You wait outside; I will bring the key."

I took out my motorcycle from the garage.

"Here, wear this."

I gave her a helmet.

"It's not cute."

"I will buy a cute one next time, now sit."

I am going at a slow speed, or so I wanted to.

"Das, let's go a little faster."

"There are a lot of houses here; it would be bad if we hit someone."

Though I don't care even if I end up hitting anyone.

My priority is to make sure Elena is safe.

"Just a little fast."

"Fine."

I increased the speed to 40kms/h. It takes 20 minutes to reach her house by walking, but it will take only 5 minutes on a motorcycle.

I was making sure no one was around, but suddenly the truck appeared; I hit the brake, and due to that, the motorcycle almost crashed into the truck.

If we were one second late, we would have slammed into the truck, and if we were one second early, we would have been crushed by the truck.

"Are you okay, Elena?"

Elena got off the motorcycle.

"Yeah, somehow, how about you?"

"I am--"

"What the hell man? Can't you see the truck coming?" The truck driver said.

This is why I hate adults.

It is their fault. Trucks aren't even allowed here unless it's a delivery or someone is moving, and I don't think this truck...

"You scratched my precious truck!"

"Fuck off."

"What did you say?"

"Fuck off!"

"What the hell, man? You want to fight?"

The driver and the other person who was sitting in the passenger seat got out of the truck.

"Want to show off in front of your girl, huh?"

"I said fuck off!"

He grabbed my collar.

They are getting on my nerves now.

I can easily take care of them, but I don't want to fight in front of Elena.

"Das!" Elena shouted. She is trembling.

"It's okay."

"Hey, I am still talking--"

"What's going on here?"

"Oh shit, it's the police!"

They got in the truck and rode off. The truck was still on, so all they had to do is… sigh. I will take care of them later.

"Hey kid, are you okay?" The officer asked.

"Yeah, we are okay"

"Chief, it was the same truck as that family reported."

"Did you see the number plate?"

"I didn't."

"XX-XXX-9437," I said.

"Are you sure?"

I nodded.

"Good."

I was right; that truck entered here without permission.

"Let's go Elena."

"Wait." The officer said.

"Can I ask how old are you?" The officer asked.

Oh crap, what now?

"I…"

"Can I check your license?"

I don't want to use my parent's name but--

"Chief." The other officer called him

"Don't move from here."

The officer whispered something to the chief.

"You can go but be careful next time." The chief said.

Huh? Why? I haven't done anything yet.

"Let's go Das."

"Huh? Okay."

We reached her house.

"I am sorry." She apologized.

"Why are you apologizing?"

"Because I told you to go fast and..."

"It wasn't your fault."

"But--"

Before she could say anything, I kissed her.

"Don't do that suddenly!"

"You looked cute so--" 

She kissed me.

Payback? Well, I don't mind.

"Let's play LWO." She said.

"Now? But it's only 5 PM yet."

"You haven't seen the sunset in LWO yet, right?"

"I haven't."

"It's beautiful."

"Okay, then I will--" 

She kissed me again.

"Ahem."

"Wha--! Mom, dad." 

It's Elena's parents.

Elena said her parents have gone to drop off her twin sister at her grandparents' place; it looks like they are back now...

"Well, hello there, Mr. Das." Her father said.

"Goodbye!"

"Wait a minute; I want to talk to you about something."

Yeah, I know that, and that's why I want to run.

"Honey, take Elena and go in; I will be back. "

"Good luck Das," Elena and her mother said in unison and showed me the thumbs up.

Didn't you say you would protect me!

"You laid hands on my daughter even though I warned you."

"I didn't."

"We will discuss this further in court."

"I didn't; we have only kissed, nothing more."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"Good."

Her father is the scariest person I have ever seen.

"How is Elena doing at home now?" I asked.

"She punched me two days ago when I locked her room."

"I see."

"What about you?" He asked.

"I got punched a while ago."

"I see."

"She has gotten good at punching." We both said in unison.

"How is it going at school?"

"Everything is okay."

"She told me that you are playing that VR game with her."

"Yeah, she asked me to play with her."

"Oh yeah, you better be careful next time."

"Huh?"

"This motorcycle, the police called me a while ago saying that your daughter was riding with someone."

"So that's why."

The officer recognized that Elena is their daughter; that's why they let us go.

"Well, if it's you, I don't have to worry about her."

"Being honest how, huh?"

"You have changed since the first time we met."

"It's thanks to her."

"Take care of her."

"You don't need to say it."

I patched myself with VR gear as soon as I reached home.
