Valerian, The Legendary

In this world, some say, the truth and the legends are the same. One such legend belonged to the protagonist, Valerian. Valerian was an orphan, a boy blessed with a beautiful face, and everyone around him, could not help but want to play with him, till one day a prophet passing through their town pronounced him to be cursed. Since that day, the destiny of the boy seemed to have changed completely, he was shunned by everyone around him, and the gazes that were earlier filled with love and affection, now brimmed with disgust and hatred. The constant shunning and humiliation made the cheerful child grow up to be bitter and inexpectant. On his seventh birthday, things changed once again. This time, it was not the people around him who went through a change, but himself. As he grew up, Valerian became a legend in his own sense. The people sang of a boy, who could not speak, they shed tears for a boy, who could not grieve. He came from nowhere yet he was known everywhere. Would you like to know this legend? A story where a curse can become a blessing? A story of sacrifice, betrayal, determination, and secrets.

Rectification.

Calor looked at his son and said, "Tryst, have you not shamed us and the departed enough? Silence, I will not allow you to utter a single word." 

Tryst was raging and he did not wish to hear anyone say anything. He yelled at his father, "Old man, why do you stop me every time? Why?" 

Calor was surprised to see this and said, "I stop you because your repeated questioning will stain the character of the woman you loved. She spent her spare time talking to people in the town about the status of the child. She truly cared for him and even wanted to adopt him, I have the application letters she posted for me every year. Asking me to allow her but I was so engrossed in the research that I gave it no thought." 

Tryst shivered and wanted to say something when Valerian asked, "Did you love her?" 

The question made the man freeze, and he cast a gaze on the child. Then he said, "Yes."
