Chapter 25

"DIE"...

Another bucket of water was poured on Aidan. His motionless body hung from the strings, his hands were fastened from hooks.

"You, a dumb, speechless person...You have no liberties to exist," said Gulliver twisting his mustaches.

"Yes, he is entitled to death. He is a condemnation on humanity because he is voiceless." a crowd screeched after Gulliver. Everything was being watched by Hazel. She felt vulnerable and wished to halt everything that was transpiring in front of her. Those people were going to butcher Aidan but Hazel was in love with Aidan, so how can she let her love perish in front of her sights.

Flashback 3 years back

"Oh!! what a lovely day it is", said Hazel. She was in the rose garden picking flowers and collecting them in her bamboo basket.

Your orbs are like pools, Your lips soft like petals,

I am falling for them,

I want to sink in your orbs, kiss your lips,

Love and adore you forever ...

My heart keeps on thumping only for you,

Oh!! Darling, I am in love with you...

Oh!! Darling, I am in love with you...

She vocalizes the ballad in her melodic voice. A wave of breeze flows and her rose blossoms glide with the wind.

"Oh!! Lord My flowers", she chases her flowers. The gorgeous scarlett leaves disperse themselves on the fresh pastures of the garden. She starts collecting them one by one. A large powerful hand appears and grabs some flowers and softly puts some of them in the basket.

"Thank you so much. Look the wind is so terrible, it scampered all my flowers away. Tch." Hazel grumbles without even peeking at the man who was helping her.

The man opens his jaws to talk but mumbles nothing and just keeps on paying attention to Hazel's blabberings. Then she rises and glances at the muscular man statured in front of her. At the very first glance, she falls in love with him. She ogles over his complexion, huge eyes, curvy lashes, a sharp pointed nose, and an intense jawline. His ebony strands flicks prom with the wind. On discerning Hazel the man waves his hand in front of her eyes to get her out of her newfound Iove.

"Oh hey!" she mumbles feeling timid and looks down. "Umm!! This is Hazel Claudius. Thanks for helping me. Who are you?" she asks.

The man says nothing and then picks up a wooden stick lying on the ground. He inscribes his name on the soil, "I am Aidan", he writes. "Sorry, I can't speak. I am mute." he writes further.

Hazel's eyes fill with compassion. She experiences a new sentiment inside her. An emotion very terrestrial, very potent as if it just invaded out of nowhere.

After that day Hazel and Aidan frequently meet each other every week or so. After three to four meets Hazel learns that Aidan had always been berated for being mute. He was described as "dumb", "voiceless", "burden" and "foolish loath of flesh" just because he didn't retain the skill to communicate. On the other hand, Aidan had learned all Hazel's preferences and dislikes. He discovered that she was an orphan and lived with her grandparents who doted her a lot.

Once, on a warm evening, they were by the bridge glaring at deep waters when Aidan held Hazel's hand. Their fingers were as usual entangled with each other and no one spoke anything. Aidan knew that he can not hold this hand forever because he will one day be hanged to death for his soundlessness. But he had no courage to give this piece of information to this sacred maiden near him, who believed and understood him. He knew he had sincerely developed feelings for her and Hazel had also fallen for him. But he worried that they would never end up together, moreover he can never make her happy because he was impaired and every girl wanted a perfect prince for herself. He supposed himself to be nowhere near to perfection.

That night Aidan had a tough time, three weeks and he would be penalized to death, he had received the news. Now, the heftiest job lay in breaking the information in front of Hazel. He had decided that he will confess on paper and before she receives it, he will be long benumbed in the sleep of dead.

Meanwhile in Hazel's house.

"Oh did you hear that news dear? Another mute boy will be punished to death. What a devil these species are who hang innocents to death." cried the granny.

"The boy's name is Aidan. Oh, such a pretty name," she inferred.

As soon as Hazel heard Aidan, her eyes expanded and she felt a tinkling irritation ,a different teaic ran inside her torso. She had no resilience to inquire her grandparents about the announcement but she decided to ask Aidan herself. That night was a lengthy and dark for both of them. They kept on thinking about the love they had for each other. They had felt their emotions, they had recognized it but didn't confess.

Next day when Hazel woke up she heard some confusion in her hut. She instantly ran out of her bed and saw that her grandparents were loading some luggage.

"Granny, were are you going?", asked the girl.

"Not me my child, we are going to our ancestral sacellum. You also pack your things", instructed the granny.

Hazel's face fell, she never predicted this to occur. She had a duty to serve, she cannot relinquish without meeting Aidan and declaring her love to him.

With a heavy heart and moist eyes she asked,

"Granny....When will we return?"

"I don't know my child. You be quick and pack your bags", she ordered.

Hazel ran to her room and latched herself up. She slipped herself down against the unfinished cemented wall and buried her facade between her knees. Next 30 minutes passed by Hazel just sobbing on the raw cold floor. She felt impotent at this moment. Her cores with weeping, her soul was screaming.
