INNOCENCE || BOOK 2 Chapter 13 (a)
He carefully closed the door and went inside. He did not find Irene in the living room so he decided to visit the kitchen for once. He could expect her there. He went there after removing his jacket and throwing it on the couch. And there in the kitchen, he found her stirring something in a bowl."What are you making?" He asked, going closer. She grinned as soon as she looked at him, and he smiled at that charming smile. "Batter for pancakes," she answered him lovingly.But as soon as she ran her eyes behind, wishing to see Hazel, his jaw clenched. He knew what she was trying to find behind him. She, of course, expected Hazel to come with him."Where is Hazel?" She looked back at him. His muscles automatically loosened and he gulped down his lump. The sudden wave of nervousness rushing through him did not fit well as Irene noticed it."What happened, Kevin? You look tense. And... where's Hazel? Outside? Or in her room?" There was a nervous smile on her face. She was waiting for him to

You?" Her voice trembled when she looked at the man in front of her. Sheer trepidation ran through her spine when he gave her a mocking smirk. Her fingers clutched around the door knob and her chest started falling and rising due to her uneven breathing."Yes, baby, it's me." He took a step forward but Hazel was quick enough to push the door close. Just when she threw her strength upon the door, Adnan used his forearm in resisting that jerk and pushed the door open, making her stumble back. The glass from her hand fell, a loud thud disturbing the fearful environment, and liquid from it splashed around the white tiles, staining their shine."And I'm here for you only." He grinned, walking to her. She kept stepping back because of his each forwarding step, but she was not a fool to get caught by the wall behind. She hurriedly made her way to the kitchen, followed by him.On the way to the marble slab, her hand landed on a glass that she threw in his direction. He skillfully dodged the t

It's flashback -----------------“Do you want to go out, baby?” The lady with hazel eyes asked the little girl whose forest eyes were sparkling in excitement. She fisted the hem of her blue floral sundress, nodding zealously, jumping at the same time and uttering, “Yes, mamma! I wanna make a lot of friends!” “Whoa!” The lady amused, raised her hands, “okay, okay, my baby! Go and make new friends, yeah? Our neighbours are quite humble! You can play with them!” “Yup!” She grinned and flew out of the house, reaching the wide way right in front of her mansion. She saw many kids playing around with their toys and tricycles. They were all laughing and enjoying in their selves. “Gabby, be careful, okay?” The lady yelled from behind, standing at the door frame of her house. She waved her hand at the girl. “Okay, mamma!” The little girl yelled back and turned back to look at the kids. She saw some girls playing with each other. All of them were around her age so little Gabriella decided

That day was enough to show her a path forever. She had understood that only he was her way and no one else. She had understood that she had to spend her whole life with him. She could not have found anyone better than him. From then on she thought of spending the rest of her life — every single day — only with him. Time could not pass without him, peace could not be attained without him. More than a friend, he started appearing in her eyes as a companion for her. She only wanted to be his and as if this dream was about to be fulfilled, everything got shattered in a moment. Just in a moment. She started agonizing over even a single thought. The memory of him was haunting her but she knew that he had slipped out of her fate forever. And now when he was not with her then what was the use of living life? Everything has been scattered, like sand from the hand, it is just flowing without stopping, and nothing is ready to stop, so what is the use of breathing now? Thoughts bothered her

Sanam eagerly came inside the building. With his wife coming right behind him, his hand holding hers tightly. He asked the receptionist about Gabriella Smith and as soon as he came to know about her, he left for that place. She was in the ICU. He came and stood right in front of the room, to peek inside. Austin, who noticed his presence, glared at him, gritting out, “Who asked you to come here? Well, what have you come here to see? The result of your son’s misdeeds?” He could not control that anger before spitting it out. Sanam sighed while Heer whimpered, palming her mouth. “Will you stop blaming my son for once?” Sanam hissed, “And for your first question, Robert informed me about that!” “What—” “Oh no, Sanam! Just look at her!” Heer sobbed, holding his bicep. He looked down at her, finding her crying softly. Her face was tear-stained and sadness was in her eyes. “Hey, calm down,” he cupped the side of her face, wiping away her tears. He then moved to peek inside the room, fi

The car stopped in front of a bar. In all this, the afternoon had passed. The source of light was now ready to hide. There was not much noise on the road as well. Some people were coming out of the bar in front of which his car stopped, while some were going inside. He got out of the car. With the passage of time, his anger was also increasing now. He closed the door. In the middle of the month of October, now the air was also getting colder. He was wearing only a black t-shirt from which the feeling of heat was far from being felt. A gust of wind passed through his body, but he had forgotten to be upset about the cold around him. Anger had made his blood boil. He went ahead. The bodyguards standing in front asked for his identity card which he showed without wasting any time. Seeing his name, both of them hurriedly vanished away. Christian moved forward and as soon as he entered, a new atmosphere enveloped him. The sound of the song playing was deafening everyone there. There was

The same restlessness, the same ruined peace. Those feelings were as if taking the last breath of their life. He quickly went to the hospital doctors who had treated Hazel. The receptionist told him that Hazel’s treatment was over as soon as he came back to the hospital. He made his way to the room and stood at the door. “Doctor?” He called the lady, who was sitting on her seat, going through the reports in her front, lying over the desk. “Oh, Mr Daud, please come inside.” He nodded and went inside. “Please, have a seat, Sir.” He gulped slightly before taking a seat in front of her. “How’s she now?” He asked her, taking a seat while holding onto the armrests. “Out of danger. You brought her at the right time. She’s not raped, but she’s brutally assaulted.” Only if she knew how much he was regretting being late. Though he confirmed that Adnan did not rape her — and he believed him because he knew Adnan was not lying. He was anything but a liar, and Christian knew that. Christian

A slight touch on his shoulder brought him back to reality. He blinked, his eyes burned, wanting more of it. His eyes wanted to be closed, wanted to remain closed for a few hours at least but he was not in the mood to let it happen. He slowly turned and found Irene there. She was looking down at him with concern in her eyes. “Did you not sleep at all?” She asked, her voice a bit hoarse due to weeping last night before falling into a slumber. For her answer, he could not find the peace to close his eyes. He did not want to rest right now. Not before her eyes would open, he wanted to let his eyes remain open. He just wanted her to regain consciousness and nothing. And for that, he did not mind if he was torturing himself. He feared the doctor’s words. As the experienced lady said, he feared that the moment he would open his eyes after taking some rest, he would find her not remembering him at all. The lady said Hazel’s brain was in danger. He did not want that to happen. After deb

“Love,” he called her lovingly. He bent slightly and hugged her from behind, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. Her body found relaxation in his arms but she chooses not to answer him. She was upset with him. She could not forget that. Christian sighed after he did not get her response. She stared at the view outside her room through the window and it was raining outside. Trees outside were greener than before and the smell of wet soil and leaves mixed together reached them.Hazel loved rain but she could not go out and enjoy that because she was seven months pregnant. Autumn has started and the weather always turned colder than usual whenever it rained. Even the greenery outside was fading away because of the season but who could make a heart understand? She still desired to enjoy it and Christian was stopping her. He could not leave her out like that. “Haze,” he said. She still did not answer him and hugged herself inside the blanket that was wrapped around her body. She was

“Is he asleep?” Hazel whispered in Adam’s ear from behind as she bent slightly. Her hands held a tray on which there was a vanilla cake. It was layered with grape jelly and strawberries and blueberries. It was made by Hazel and Adam. Only because Adam was fond of cooking at a young age, he wanted to help Hazel and ended up decorating it with her from the bottom of his heart. The word ‘PAPA’ on the surface of the cake was written by Adam. It looked like the words had paralysis yet Hazel admired it. Or else everything was done by Hazel. The flavours they added were Christian’s favourite. Especially vanilla. They knew about that. Not much time had passed since they had returned from their honeymoon. They had returned from Japan two days ago because Hazel remembered his birthday and wanted to celebrate the day with their son. Even though Christian forgot about it like he used to forget every year, Hazel remembered. Sanam and Heer were not at home. Had gone out for some important work

“You’re looking beautiful; so beautiful that I can barely look away from you, Haze,” Christian said while coming behind his wife. She held his hand and was walking towards their suite. Her henna-cladded hand was barely covering his but her grip was firm because her husband was tipsy. He drank a bit at his friend’s wife’s birthday party and they were coming back now. His eyes roamed her back from behind. Her brunette hair was tied in a bun, decorated with red roses that matched her red banarasi saree, red bangles, her bright red painted lips — her whole self. Her blouse was not very backless but still, the beauty spot on her back could not escape his gaze through the knots. The sleeves of her blouse reached above her elbows. She looked beautiful as he said and everything in her was his choice. Even the saree she wore was draped by him. “You said that I don’t know how many times,” she said while her lips stretched into a smile. He watched how her plump fleshy bright red lips stretched

Holding hands, they walked together. The path before them was almost not very crowded with humans but with cherry blossom leaves. There were two or three couples, too. Just like them, they too were walking slowly, holding hands, enjoying the moment of romance that turned everything pink. The weather was showering love. Showering pink, showering petals. There were only trees on either side of the road which were presenting absolutely pink environment. Pink petals showered by gentle breezes were floating on the ground, on their shoulders and head. The opened blue sky and those pink trees were creating a unique combination. That scene was appealing and filled the mind with peace. It was neither too cold nor too hot. In Japan, the months of March and April were no less than paradise, and they both came on their honeymoon in March.As Christian had planned, he chose Japan as their honeymoon destination simply because he wanted to make love to Hazel in that paradise-like environment.

“I just called them,” said Hazel over the phone which was pressed against her ear. Her grip was soft while her other hand was holding the steering wheel. She turned it, entering her house through the large main gates. The guards on either side of the gate bowed respectfully as Hazel drove the car inside. She nodded at them, the sight of her face visible to them through the rolled-down windows of her car. She drove it ahead, still listening to the person over her phone. "Of course.” She smiled brightly. “He’s giving him full attention,” she added and parked the car. She listened to the person while turning the engine off and coming out of the car. She picked up the bags from the back seat. Chirping, sparrows flew above her head to another tree planted in their lawn. It was the beginning of March. Spring was coming. Finally, winters were over. Hazel loved that season. From the bottom of her heart. Spring brought life back to nature. Trees were green once again, butterflies and birds

The ceremony function was over. And it was indeed amazing for them but tiring. It exhausted them, especially Hazel. The whole palace was decorated in such a luxurious way as if a king was about to depart from it to bring his queen. The whole palace was decorated like a bride. The entire palace was covered from top to bottom with garlands of flowers and bulbs. The sweet fragrance of flowers enveloped the entire area as if it was actually in a garden. And the whole place was lit up with light as if it was actually falling from above. In the shadow of the stars, under the glare of the moonlight, they were admired by everybody like a match made in heaven. Hazel was dressed in a royal Rajasthani outfit as per Abigail’s choice. Her lehenga was very layered and was of golden colour. Red sequined chunar with a wide border on her head and jewellery to ornaments which were not very heavy to wear but the price used to scream like the stars in the sky. Even Adam told her she looked like a quee

The ladies who gathered, sitting around Hazel were all happy, chirping and doing their things, laughing upon seeing the men dragging Christian with them. The pleasant sound of their laughter boomed but Hazel giggled softly when she saw how Christian’s face was scrunched and he was writhing like a small kid among his friends —Izhar, Kevin, Adnan and Abel. “I don’t want to do that, mom, why don’t you understand?” He uttered, releasing his arms from their grips as that was the sole way they could drag Christian back to the ladies as he ran away right after he got to know that they wanted to apply some henna paste on his palm and he did not like its smell. “But it’s important, son,” said Heer, who sat beside Hazel and gave her a flying kiss when she saw her all dolled up. She found her way too beautiful in that green traditional mirror-work dress. Her hair was tied into a loosened French braid and it was decorated with white shiny beads. Her make-up was nude. The green coloured lehenga

Hazel’s closed eyes were greeted by the sweet morning sunlight coming through the glass of the huge window set in the wall next to their bed. Those red coloured curtains hanging from the wall of the window were not completely closed. They have opened ajar, letting the pleasant sunlight peek into the spacious royal room. Her eyelids flickered and her eyebrows corrugated a bit. Soon the melodious chirping of the sparrows outside met her ears and she opened her eyes slowly but they immediately fell shut when they were attacked by the sunlight. She sighed and raised her hand to save her eyes by shielding them from her palm. She yawned a bit and turned to look at Christian beside her. She smiled instantly when she found him next to him. He was still asleep. His eyes were closed, and his thick eyelashes allured her. Like always in middays, he had a frown on his face but it was not present now. It was always absent when he was with Adam or her or he was sleeping next to her — his peace.

“Chris!” She called his name as she opened the door while carefully holding the baby girl in her arms. She closed the door behind her and suddenly silence engulfed her as the members downstairs were having an important conversation. Christian’s attention was already dragged by her soft call as he was watching her move to him with the baby. The girl was wrapped up in a soft quilt but woke up as her big brown eyes watched everything. “You didn’t meet our little angel, right?” She said, sitting in front of him but folding her right leg on the bed. The white silky mattress dipped underneath her, and the light yellow cotton chikankari designed fabric of her plazo shone brightly under the warm glow of their room. The small glasses at the border of her dress enhanced its gleam. He put away his laptop and gave his full attention to his wife and the baby in her arms. “Adnan’s daughter?” He asked, looking down at the girl who looked back at him with her big brown eyes. “Yeah,” she said, ho
