384 C384-Self damaging scripts

Urchin enjoyed too much of his current age that he forgot where he came from. When his eyes caught the image of his parents. His heart ache in longing. He got reminded of how he met his parents. He used to sing with his mother and played with his father. Hr browse through the pages of Fur's sketches and he was surprised to see a scene where in they were pitching a tent. The last sketch was Kiel and Lila seating in front of a cliff hang smiling.

"I wonder if they were happy to have me back then?" Nod murmured as he looked up.

He recalled how his mother losed a child. He knew that back then it won't be a good time to tell them that he is their son, after all Urchin was raised by a witch. He had this special gift where he got to meet his mother through windows of trance. He knew how his mother went through such painful past to the point Urchin wished that the pain and memory would be erased. He held on to what his parents has given him and blinked back the threathining tears by the side of his eyes.

"What is wrong to our crowned prince?" Ophir hummed as he sat beside Urchin.

Urchin was at on the cave's top. He was watching the starless night.

"Nothing just missing them." Urchin replied as he waved the notebook given by Fur.

"Oh, Then should I leave you alone?" Ophir sensitively responded.

Urchin moved his head in disagreement.

"Not really, I was just thinking, if the second child was born. Will they be able to recognize me as their child?"

Ophir was shocked. He furrowed his brows. Now that he was looking back, Urchin remained silent about his identity for too long. He waited till Lila's miscarriage.

"Now that you mentioned it, I was wondering why did you waited for three years to reveal who you are?" Ophir asked.

"Because I was scared. They might deny me." Urchin smiled.

Ophir stared at Urchin, he never realized that he had those baggages in him at a young age. He always knew that this kid is kind hearted and pure. He knew that he is wise and kind but he never realize that he had his own burdens and yoke to handle. He overestimated the young innocent kid and forgot that he was a lost child.

Ophir looked up and sighed.

"I see, then do you regret telling them that you are their kid?"

"No, I had to tell them because it was a promise I shared with grandma." Urchin grinned as stared his palm.

"Oh, so if Gardenia did not die, then you had no intention of telling them!" Ophir realised.

Urchin just remain silent as he watch the sky.

The wind highlighted a young version of Kiel and Lila.

"You know what Ophir, i am grateful that you gave me a name. The witch who played and somewhat raised me, never gave me a name. I was nameless. It was hard back then because I saw all my patents memories through the trance. When I saw them on the lake, I silently cried that I found them." Urchin professed.

"I don't know what to say, But I can lend this ears as usual." Ophir grinned.

"No, you are not lending them, You are still trespassing. Let me guess back then you heared my thoughts but you did not say anything. You just named me." Urchin replied.

"It's because your silent cry was moving. I named you Urchin since you are cute and basically I thought it was cool and unique." Ophir grinned.

"When I saw my parents got married. I was glad. From the bottom of my heart I was able to have the courage to tell them but Grandma beat me to it. I pleaded her to remain silent about me. That I would confess at the right time but grandma's death appeared before me unexpectedly and she pleaded me to confess." Urchin muttured.

"Well you did a good job. Kiel and Lila was happy." Ophir stated.

"But I was born out of marraige. I was born due to manipulation. I was born because my parents did not love each other. Basically I am a product of their pain and trauma. That is why I had no courage to confess." Urchin poured out his heart.

Ophir pressed his lips together and allowed the young boy who was wrapped in flowers to open up his heart.

"I often thought that was it the right thing to say who I am. Was it fine to barge in within their life when I am a product of my father's abduction and my mother's abuse. I am born out of an evil witch's manipulation and experiment. I had this thought at the back if my mind that my very presence might remind them of that incident." Urchin spoke in between tears.Ophir pat his back as Urchin hugged the sketch pad. He was looking up. The waves of clouds from the sky painted a plain roaring seas.

"I wonder if it was wrong for me to be secretly happy when my mother womb got emptied. Was it selfish for me to desire that the kid within her womb should not be born while I selfishly hid my identity? When I saw my father almost shut down I got more frightened to acknowledge who I was. As a young boy who was thirsty of love and affection. I hated the fact that they were rejoicing because of a new baby. But deep within me I was bitter. How can they rejoice and be glad for a unborn child while I was left nameless and abandoned?" Urchin spoke through his suffocated throat. It was like his neck got surrounded by the water and he was sinking that he started to choke.

Ophir can now see the humble, open and transparent Urchin. He can hear how his chest form a sorrowful rhythm but honest ones.
