Chapter 55
[A/N: Accha I have a contest going on my FB page. Please go check it out.. The page is .com (slash) CreativeKindredSpirits
Do check it out! It's for Mother's day!
Hmm, So Yeah! The big revelation is here! Hehehe. I must say that I have a contest for this one too. Meet me down the update and I'll tell you all about it.]
He laughed, the hearty throaty one, realizing he had again done what he consciously avoided around her. He had given in to curiosity, only to avoid the discussion over his mother.
He would have never admitted it, but all his sub consciousness really did revolve around his mother. He still had that scene playing before his eyes that had taken place around this morning. He still couldn't figure out why his mother looked defeated, instead of dejected on hearing his name.
The moment he had taken up painting, the last words his father had spoken had gotten replayed in his mind a thousand times. How, his father had breathed his mother's name, as if calling out to a reverent one. He had sighed just listening to the unsaid prayers in those tones of his.
Why some prayers had to be unanswered, his heart had asked at that moment.
And his mother's name had led him to Thumbelina, a story he had always considered tragic. Even though it had a happy ending, it was immensely tragic nonetheless.
He turned his attention to the creature that had called out his bluff so blatantly, and then stopped laughing.
"I am sorry Jade. I guess I did not ask the correct question this time, did I?" He asked, playful now.
She smiled, watching how effortlessly he accepted his shortcomings. This was such a rare sight amongst his kind. Usually, they would argue back upon being pointed out wrong.
"No, My Precious... You did not." She accepted his apology.
"Hmm, so let me try this again. What does your mother address you as?" He asked, not hoping that she would answer this time either.
"She calls me Kirara..." She smiled reverently.
[A/N: Hmmm, So finally the name is revealed. Kirara is a Japanese name, and its Kanji includes the meaning Cloud. Now, Obviously I took the name from somewhere. You just have to find out which character's name is Kirara. The first one to get it correct in the comments will get the next steamy update dedicate to them! I have high hopes from you Aish, considering your DP has that character.. :P]
