Chapter 41
[A/N: I was so busy writing Aashiquii series that I completely forgot everything else. Silly me. Koi naa, atleast this one I can update in a jiffy. If you didn't get the last part, She addresses her mother by her name, i.e. Calliope.]
He stared at her, his eyes the size of saucers. The only reason his mouth had blurted out the question was that he had been thinking about how strict his own father was. But this... this he had never expected.
"Cerulean, how can you love someone you have never seen?" He asked incredulously.
She looked into his eyes, and saw him passing a judgment on her. So typical of his kind, to judge everything they landed their eyes on.
She couldn't help but laugh. At least in some places he was like the rest of them.
"What is so hilarious?" He asked again, irritated at her laughing at his question.
"Do you not realize already?" She asked, in between laughs, "I don't need physical presence for love, My Precious."
He couldn't help but wince at her words, understanding the depth of them. She was laughing at him, for judging her, which suddenly made him feel very small. He suddenly felt the need to change the subject.
"And your mother?" He asked.
She stopped laughing, and a glowing expression greeted her face. His heart twisted into knots seeing her like that, somehow envy taking control.
"Calliope loves us all equally. But adores me more. That is why she is so stringent to me..." She completed her sentence, still gazing into some far off place.
