Dad called me to his room after I got fresh and had my lunch
"Zach, I need to talk to you", he said.
"Okay, if this is about the day before yesterday, I ...
He didn't let me complete.
"Wait till your mom is here", he said.
"Alright"
After a few minutes, mom came in.
"So , here we start , listen closely to what I say", dad said.
If it was about my Savior thing, then I must be ready to have an argument, I thought.
"Listen I don't know where to start this but...
"We haven't told you many things about your birth till now", mom completed what dad was saying.
"All this years , we let you to think that you're a girl ...
What was he going to say? I was curious.
God, maybe he knows about Melis and me together!
"...but you're a boy , actually. I mean you were born as a boy".He completed and looked at me waiting for a reply.
"But you said ..
"That you were Abigail, a girl? Yeah. I'll tell you why. ", dad said
"Ok , I know this is hard for you to believe this but.... you say you love gender fluid, don't you? When does a person with gender fluid abilities feel uncomfortable with one gender?". dad asked.
I guess I knew a lot about gender fluid, thanks to Mr. Farren.
"Um, when he is in one gender for a long time or when he is in a gender which he is..... actually not . i mean, if he is a boy then being a girl, for a long time will make him uncomfortable", I said.
I kind of felt that what I was saying, was similar to what I felt.
"Actually it's the second one, Zach", dad said.
"Amelia, do you have the book?", dad asked mom.
"Yeah", she took out a book from her drawer and handled it to him.
He opened the book to a page number and started reading it aloud line by line
Then he gave the book to me and pointed out a few lines.
"Read this", he said.
It said that people with gender fluid abilities couldn't stay longer than 10-15 mins in a gender which he is not
"That means....
"You're Zach".
It was unbelievable but I had to believe it.
Especially, when the book written by the famous scientist said that.
"And I saw you with Melis. So before you start thinking yourself as a lesbian , I thought that you should know", mom said
I kind of felt a little bit shy.
"But why did you didn't tell me all these year?", I asked dad.
"I am sorry but we were waiting for you to be 15", dad said.
He leaned closer and gave me his serious expression.
"Hey , do you know what the locket of telepathy is?", he asked.
"Um, yeah", I said.
How was my gender related to the locket of telepathy?
"The thing is it is passed on from generation to generation. Our generation" he said.
I almost coughed.
Locket of telepathy in our generation?
"I know you're surprised", he said.
"Anyway, we won't talk about our ancestors but according to the prophecy...
"Prophecy?", I asked.
"Yeah, prophecy. Your great great great great gr...
"Wait, how many greats are there?", I asked
"Let me talk. Just know, that according to the prophecy taken by your grandfather , my child if he is a son would be the owner of the locket", he said.
I opened my mouth to say something but was interrupted.
"And the Nutellions know very well about the prophecy. "
A shiver ran down my spine.
So , all these years, the Nutellions have been knowing that the locket belonged to our family?
"So all these days, I have been thinking myself as a girl or rather you let me know that I am a girl just because you didn't want anyone to know that I might be the owner of the locket?"I asked
"Uh, yeah. But you have got to understand that we did so because we wanted to keep you safe", mom said.
"Oh", I said nodding.
So much to take in .
"So does ... I hesitated asking my parents but still I asked,"Does...um, Diana and Felixus Know ?".
They didn't answer as I expected.
Mom shrugged
"So, this October you're going to become the right owner of the locket.", dad said, a little bit unsure.
I kind of felt a little excited but afraid too.
If they got to Know that I own that locket, it is sure that I would die too young.
