My Lonely Duke

Green and Blue Eye

Hazel POV

After getting ready for her work, Hazel is about to leave when she remembers that she has to put on her lenses. Looking at the mirror she stares for a while.

It was not just the long hair, but the set of two different colors for both of her eyes, blue and green, which had always gotten the attention of everyone. They were mostly awestruck when they notice that and it made her smile from her eyes. 

She still remembers the story that her grandmother told her once when she asked why she has two different colored eyes. 

Flashback

Your Mother Elizebeth was considered a barren for most of her married life. Since the day your parents were married, they were trying to have a baby, who would keep the name of their royal family. They did everything everyone told us, from medicine to prayers. There was nothing that your parents haven’t tried. 

I remember the day clearly, It was mentioned as the historic day when there was a fight between the God of Rain and Earth Goddess. Earth Goddess was angry at the God of rain since she felt that her children, the mortals were treated really lowly by GODS in the sky. It rained heavily for days and trees were growing out of the ground of earth to protect the human. No one was giving up from their end to stop. The colors that were visible were only blue and green, green and blue and nothing else. 

No one knows how the fight was settled but it was always remembered. The same day after many years, your parents were told to worship God of Rain and Goddess Earth. 

It was their last hope before adopting a kid. They were sad and hurt. 

Your mother fell sick the next day, she couldn’t eat anything and would get dizzy often. Your Father got more worried about her body getting weak day by day. So when they went to the doctor, they were told that she was going to have you. 

And this is why my pumpkin you have two different color eyes

End of Flashback

I honestly don’t believe her stories more often but this was very cool to tell anyone who would ask me about them if they know I have different eyes.

If having two eyes was the most amazing thing people think she has then they were mistaken. The fact that she doesn’t know how, when and where she was born made up her life more interesting or confusing, whatever you want to say. Every time she has the courage to ask her grandma how she was born, her grandma told her a different story. 

Sometimes it was that she was born on the night of new moon in the hospital, Sometimes it was that she was born on a rainy night in a car, were to their parents' surprise, the wife of the driver, who was apparently traveling with them was a midwife. The stories were crazier when they involved being born in a Lion’s den or above the clouds surrounded by Fairies. 

She would laugh sometimes listening to her Grandma murmur all these stories, but sometimes it made her sad, not knowing about it. But the important thing was she has her Lovely, little off the road Grandma, who loved her till death. 

Yeah, she would definitely put in that way when people ask since she can’t tell them the truth. People would pray to have a cozy, cuddly bear, smelling like ginger, candy hiding grandmothers. But Lord as her witness, her Grandmother is nothing like that, but she missed her like crazy. She was missing her right now actually. Going through everything at her workplace and no one to come home to at night was a bummer. 

When she started working, she was given things to learn, things to train in. She has to learn a few things on the computer and she picked it up pretty well. She was happy that she was learning things, new things, not the one she was taught in school. If it was not for the pervert Tutor of her who asked her to go out with him, everything would have been fine. 

Even being a teenager she knew who was right and who was wrong, so when she mercilessly denied his request, they stopped giving her work to do, to learn. It has been like this for six months now. Each day of her hoping that things would change.
