Chapter eleven: Amar
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Erik had been gone for hours and Christine was beginning to get worried. She knew that she shouldn’t have removed his mask but stupid and blind temptation got the better of her and now Erik was gone. Christine sat in the front sun room trying to distract herself with reading but it was impossible. Amar came in to keep her company. “Have you ever-” “Seen his face?” Amar finished for Christine. Christine nodded her head and Amar sighed deeply. He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyes. “When I first met Erik I was half dead. Erik had heard rumors of my father’s bastard children but I was the first. Erik wanted a brother, the brother he never had. I wanted a family I never had. I wish I had known my father but I didn’t,” Amar paused and Christine came closer to him.
“We were both young when we met. He told me of my father’s death and I told him I was my father’s son. I am thankful Erik believed me. Erik took me in, nursed me back to health and I was taken away from death’s clutches. I asked Erik of his past and why he wore his mask; he showed me his deformity and made me promise never to tell anyone. I promised because I owe Erik my life and because he’s my brother. We don’t need to be connected by blood to be brothers who loved and honor each other.” Amar said to Christine. Christine hung her head in shame.
Perhaps if Christine had waited and let Erik trust her then he would’ve shown her his secret. But now Christine had ruined everything. She had forced herself upon Erik’s deformity and she hated herself for it. Christine stood up and walked over to the window and watched as the sun began to set. This was the second day Erik had been gone and Christine was beginning to worry more and more. Amar stood up and walked over to Christine and put his hand on her shoulder. Christine touched his hand and held tightly to it. Suddenly Amar’s mouth opened.
(Amar singing)
“The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For your dreams you hold your life
For your wishes you behold your nights
A truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I know you wish for this nighttime to last for a lifetime
The darkness around you shores of the solar seas
Oh how you wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping, weeping with him
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I’d sail a hundred thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty types of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poets play
Until there’s nothing left to say
You wish for this nighttime to last for a lifetime
To darkness around you shores of the solar seas
Oh how you wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping, weeping with him.”
Christine starred in awe at Amar; she had no idea he could sing. His voice was so soft and gentle. It soothed her soul and heart and gave her hope that Erik was safe.
