Chapter thirty three: Inside of You
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Twelve years went by and Erik and Christine had made a happy life in England. Erik decided not to go back to Persia and had Nadir and Amar Khan’s bodies brought to England he buried them both near his mother Rosemary. Sophia, Erika Orion grew fast and into a lovely young girl. She had her fathers amber eyes black hair and her mother’s beauty, wit and charm. But there was also a cunning side of Sophia. She had a wild imagination and was sometimes a trouble maker. During the next twelve years Christine gave birth to two more children; a boy and another girl. They named them Amar, Nadir Orion (after Erik’s foster father and foster brother) and they named their second daughter Ebony, Rosemary Orion.
Sophia was playing outside one evening humming softly to herself on the ground with her dolls when a tall shadow was cast over her. Sophia looked up and saw a much older man standing over her. Sophia got to her feet and backed away from him. “No need to run, I’m not going to hurt you. Are your parents home?” the man asked her. Sophia nodded her head. “What was that song you were singing?” the man asked, staying where he was so he wouldn’t scare her. “It’s just something I remember since I was very little,” Sophia answered. The man nodded his head. “Thank you child,” the walked down the street and Sophia watched him go.
“Should I tell my parents you were here?” Sophia called. The man stopped and turned to look at the little girl. He walked back over to her and kneeled down. “Let’s just keep this our little secret, okay angel?” the man said to her smiling. Sophia smiled back and nodded her. The man suddenly leaned down and whispered something into her ear. Then man stood up and starred down at her. “Would you like to see a trick?” he asked her. Sophia nodded her head happily. The man nodded his head. “Close your eyes.” He told her. Sophia closed her eyes. She felt something going into her hair. And a minute of nothing happening Sophia opened her eyes.
The man was gone and there was no trace of him. Sophia touched her hair and behind her ear was a dried up white rose with an old white ribbon. “How odd,” Sophia said. She was going to drop the flower but instead she kept it close to her heart and skipped back to her home when she heard her mother calling her for dinner.
Ivan Merik watched from across the street as Christine came out side to greet her daughter. Ivan smiled when he saw Christine’s reaction to the rose and the ribbon. Christine told Sophia to go inside and then Christine looked up and down the street.
“I like to watch you
From above
It’s not an ordinary love
I like to feel you
So close to me
A better nearer
Than you’ll ever see
And I’m sitting up again the wall
Trying to find a way
Play it safe in case I fall from yesterday
You’re letting me live
Inside of you
You’re letting me live
As someone new
I wanted to be forever young
You and me now forever free
I wanted to learn from our memories
You’ve never cold though you’re not
Here to hold
And I’m sitting up against the sky
Trying to find a way
Nothing to do but wonder why it’s not
Yesterday
You’re letting me live
Inside of you
You’re letting me live
As someone new
Believe in me ‘cause I believe it
Somewhere there is an angel
Watching over your life
Sometimes there is a silence
Sometimes a face in the light
Know this place is where I am
Know this face is of me
Know I’m watching over you
Do you feel it too?
You’re letting me live
Inside of you
You’re letting me live
As someone new,”
Ivan finished singing and proceeded to walk down the streets into the summer night.
Christine came inside the house and sat down at the dinner table next to Erik and kissed him softly on the lips. “Eww!” Amar, their son said covering his eyes. Sophia and Ebony giggled as they prayed with their parents and brother and then ate their dinner. “Mama?” Sophia asked. “Yes dear?” Christine said replying as she took a drink of water. “What does je t’aime mean?” Sophia asked. Christine smiled. “It’s French for ‘I love you,’ why do you ask dear?” Christine said to her daughter. Sophia shrugged. “This man came up to me today before dinner and told me to tell you he je t’aime you.” Sophia explained.
Erik looked at Christine who frowned. “Who was this man?” Erik asked Sophia. “Just some odd man who showed me a magic trick. One minute he was there and next he wasn’t. He was like a ghost! He vanished into thin air. He gave me a dried up white rose and a white ribbon. He was very odd. I do remember,” Sophia stopped suddenly. Christine leaned forward. “What sweetie?” Christine asked quickly. “His eyes, they were such a pale blue. Like blue…diamonds or something.” Sophia said as she went on eating.
Christine and Erik looked at each other. Erik stood up from the table and looked out the window. Nothing was there. Except there was a faint sound of music drifted through the air. It was being carried through the window as a never ending echo.
The End
