INNOCENCE || BOOK 2 Chapter 19 (b)
His mobile rang and he put the screen near his ear as he came out of his room, closing the door behind him. “Chris! Finally, you answered! Did you eat anything, my child? And where are you? Were you sleeping? Did I disturb—” as she was about to complete her other question, Christian chuckled softly, interrupting her, “Mom, I’m fine and yeah, I had dinner!” She released a phew. “How could you laugh like that? I’m worried about you, not cracking jokes for you!” She scolded over the call, frowning a bit. Christian chewed his bottom lip, running a hand behind his head. “I’m sorry, mom.” “Good boy, now tell me when are you coming back? Is your work over?” “Tomorrow, I guess,” he said, began walking ahead in the corridor, his hand holding the railing. His eyes went to the door of her room which was right next to his. “You guess? Isn’t it already done?” She asked but the voice from behind interrupted Christian to answer her. “The weather isn’t good, sweetheart, he might have to delay,

“...but he was lying to my mother! By the way, my mother always takes my side but on that day, he was such an expert…” his voice began to slow down as he lazily but carefully looked down at the girl only to find her asleep. Her soft breaths were slightly audible. She was sleeping soundly. And he could not help but smile shortly when he saw her. She fell asleep while listening to him. He sighed, eyes blinking briefly. He was not displeased to find her asleep but he could feel warmth spreading in his chest by looking at her. He held the blanket and pulled it on her shoulders, covering her up. He then checked the time and found it was already around four at the dawn. He wondered how he managed to talk to her for so long. He had never talked to anyone for so long before. He never had so many things to talk about. Never thought that he would not even feel the passage of time while talking with someone. But the bigger surprise than that was that she was also listening to his words peacef

As the breakfast was done, Christian went to look out through the window once again. It was raining once again. The sun was hidden behind those heavy clouds, showing no hope to him. “I checked the news and they said it’s not going to stop today. You should stay here for tonight as well,” said Irene as he heard her from behind. He turned to look at her, sitting on the couch and scrolling down through her mobile, her whole attention taken by it. “Thinking so,” he mumbled, walking there when the doorbell interrupted him. It got everybody’s attention. Hazel peeked at the door from the kitchen while opening the oven. “I’ll check,” said Christian as he went to open it while Irene put her mobile down on the table. Christian’s mobile was also there and she noticed his mobile screen turning on as a notification flashed across with the name Gabby. She found he had muted her already. This means he was avoiding her. Well, it should not matter to her. Ignoring it, she gave her attention back

When Hazel came downstairs to fill her jug of water, she noticed a huge figure resting on one of the couches in the living room. She did not feel scared as soon as she looked at him from behind. She knew who it was. She did not even need to look at his face for confirmation. She just knew it was him. Only him. Putting the jug on the marble slab, she went to him. She stood behind him, noticing his gaze which was on the sky outside. The glass doors were giving a clear view of the scene outside, did not matter if they were slightly tinted. He could see the dark sky easily. Hazel looked at the scenery, too. The sky was dark but it was not raining as it did in the afternoon till the evening. It rained heavily a few hours ago but now the sky found its peace. Even if it was not clear, both of them knew it would be clean by the next morning. There were no stars, no moon, not even the dark blue colour of the sky but just some very heavy clouds which were moving away slowly, yet something

“You won’t meet her before leaving, why?” Irene asked him, standing in front of him straight, looking up at him as her chin raised. She pushed her hands into the pockets of her jacket. “No.” He breathed. “I’ll be more restless, then.” “You mean kawra bawra?” Irene chuckled, throwing her head back. Christian just smiled. “Can say,” he said, his voice coming out soft. “Okay, I respect your decision. By the way, I thought of giving you the news before you leave…”“What?” “I got a job!” She whisper-yelled at him. His eyes widened as he murmured, “That’s great! What’s that about?” “To teach kids manners!” He chuckled lowly. “Well, it was awesome to hear that. I’m happy for you!” “Thanks,” she smiled, “Haze will be very happy to know too. If you had stayed here for some more time, I would have given this news to both of you together. Well, my wishes are with you for the journey. Must come to meet.” He smiled, nodding his head. “I will,” if fate will be on my side. “I should leave

He stepped into a new atmosphere, breathing in the sweet and strawberry fragrances mixed with a few different ones emerging out of the guests standing there, under the large and high ceiling with each other. Some of them were murmuring into each other’s ears out of their habits while some were looking at the standing in front, with admiration in their gleaming eyes. He took confident strides, reaching a few people which he knew. Dressed in a shiny black suit, his hair gelled backwards, he got almost each of the girls’ attention in the room. But that did not waver his confidence. He did not even avert his gaze from anyone. “You may kiss the bride now.” The weak sound somehow reached him. He glanced at the couple as they leaned closer but he averted his gaze when he found his friends waving their hands at him. He smiled at them, joining them soon. He took a seat there, putting the gift box next to him and then giving his attention back to the couple. They just pulled back, now smili

Five years had passed since the distance between them. Even when he wanted to meet her, he always used to convince his heart that he was giving her less time because he really wanted to think only about her this time. If he only cared about himself then it was certain that he would never give her time to nurture and blossom. Just like when people break the newly emerged bud before it becomes a flower. But he gave her time and did not want to run back to her quickly but now he felt that after five years, he could not bear the distance anymore. He had the desire to meet her. Very deep desire. These five years he spent without her, he will not lie to himself, it was very difficult. Not a single day passed when he did not think of her. Many questions arose in his mind related to hee.

What Christian felt for that cute boy was completely beyond his imagination. The feelings that rose in his heart towards that child were very deep and sudden. He did not know how or why he felt a kind of duty, a deep emotion and a very deep and strange pull towards that child. He just knew that he felt it strangely and suddenly. The boy attracted him to do something for him and he knew what he had to do. Upon listening to his heart, his legs on their own walk in the direction of that kid. He stood right beside the kid, looking down at him. His eyes still lingered on the hanging board from far away. Christian looked at the kids that surrounded the ice cream man, some buying, some having their own and some requesting their parents to buy one for them. “Um… hi,” he said, catching the boy’s attention. “You want one for you?” He asked when the boy did not speak anything. He was just staring up at the stranger, craning his neck. Christian looked into his eyes, smiling down at the kid ge

“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
