Chapter 3:

Voice

Cursed Head


Vihaan and Easter both were heading to their house. They finally reached the top of the hillock and saw Saul who was Vihaan's close friend.

They both approached him but he seemed beaten up.

Vihaan quickly rushed to him and said "What happened to you again?"

Easter said, "It was the major's son again, wasn't it?"

Saul nodded.

Vihaan quickly asked, "What did to say to Carlos?"

Easter interrupted Saul from answering the question and said "You probably said there are more places to live beyond the edge wasn't it?"

"How did you find out?" Saul asked confusingly.

"You just told about this to my Mom the other day. You can't just be keeping telling people about these things. You might get in some serious trouble."

"Saul can tell them whatever he wants to. Nobody has any right to tell about what he needs to do. He can think and have an opinion on his beliefs." Vihaan spoke assertively.

Easter said in an understanding voice "Sometimes we don't have a say in these topics and in all the history books it is also written that there no habitable zones outside the edge and everyone also believes the same."

Vihaan said in a disapproving way " But it doesn't mean that you also have to believe them."

"I believe in what is true." She replied.

Vihaan looked at Saul who was still on the ground and lifted him and asked about his future goals.

He replied in a small voice saying "I want to know about all the truths and the great mysteries of this world." And gradually grew his voice.

With a sense of approval, he said "See, that's what I was talking about." He looked over the horizon from the top of the hillock starring into the gas and said.

"And I was to become a great wanderer and will be the freest person in this godforsaken world!!"
