Chapter 40 - Brick's favourite song

Brick, pour some water and things that could be in the tea into a pot and set it on the stove.

Waiting for it to be prepared, standing beside the stove Brick's eyes suddenly reached the recipe book placed a bit far beside him.

"Felsen... what is the name of the dish?"

"Mm... its name was a little difficult, but I have an easy peasy cheesy name for it."

"Really..? what is it..?"

"The name of the dish is "Fish dish."

Brick smiled a little as the book took him back when Felsen made that soup for him.

"Let's see what the name was...!" Brick moved to the book and said with a smile.

"Fish dish..fish dish...!" Brick started mumbling the name while looking thoroughly at each page.

"No, this cannot be that dish. This is food, that was soup," said Brick and continued searching for the recipe.

"Where is it? where is it?" looking thoroughly Brick said and reached the end.

"It is nowhere...!" Brick reached the end page of the book.

"Hella!" Brick read. "Why is it written here? Mm! maybe this book belongs to Hella," Brick nodded.

"Aaa! wait..! Was not our queen's name Hella?!!" Brick talked with an open mouth and surprised face. "So, this book belongs to her," Brick when came to know, he saw the outside of the book thoroughly. He hence placed the book aside when his smelling sense caught the aroma of the tea.

"I think the tea is ready," Brick sniffed its aroma again and took it aside. After he pours the tea into two cups and catches the way to Felsen's room.

"Felsen, wake up tea is ready," Brick placed the cups aside.

"Brick, my wounds are hurting," Felsen talked while sleeping.

"I know, that is the reason that  I made this tea. It will help to heal them faster," Brick holds him from both of his arms and helps him to sit comfortably on the bed, and then serves him tea.

"It is savory," Felsen said as he took the first sip.

"Yes, it is...!" Brick also brought his cup and was searching for a place to sit.

Felsen when seen, he rested his tea aside and freed some space from the bed for him.

"Here, come." as Felsen whispered Brick moved to him.

"Mmm!! this tea never disappoints me," the words fly out of Brick's mouth as he took his first tea.

"Have you sipped it before?"

"Of course!! many times."

Felsen nodded at his words and then talked, "Of course, you have been here since you were born. My asking was useless."

"So, what are the things you have to tell me about today?" relishing his tea Brick utter out.

"Yes, I have many things to tell," Felsen got excited and turned to him and start telling him about the day.

"The time I stepped into the door I turned over to see if the door has got disappeared. And then I again whirled. Before I began my path I thought it better to assess it. The atmosphere was so delightful and I didn't get any danger," Felsen said and then stop to take a sip of tea, and after he continued.

"And therefore I decided to begin my way. After stepping a little I felt something different and that was "silent". Pin drop silent with fine refreshing air, not even the vouce of bird creepy. It was so strange a vast beautiful woodland but not even a bird. Well, I take that like it is the magical world and magical woodland. I continued my way. As I said before there was a silence that I even could hear my stepping and then...! what I heard...?" Felsen set his tea aside and came on his knees in front of Brick on the bed and his action made Brick to placed his cup aside.

"What was the sound you hear?" Brick babbled and was desperate to know what he heard because the way Felsen presenting the story, pulled him in.

"And then I feel a new sound. "What was that?!" I asked myself. Right after, I found some leaving roaming around in the air in ten."

Brick nodded at his words and was listening carefully.

"They were so fine, they played with me. After they left, I again heard something different. At first, I thought that was those leaves but after they flew away...thus I thought it is because I am not singing loudly as the master said. And likewise, after fighting with a lot of different thoughts in my head I sang from my lungs and then....! Aaa! that all...those trees... their shoots starts moving, there created a mess.

Firstly, a little thin shoot grabbed my foot I freed myself by kicking it. I...don't wanna repeat that all. It was horrible the calm atmosphere changed into noisy and scary. And rest you know how I found the tree. But as I went to it and was about to reach my goal, that all branches attacked me together. I tried a lot to free myself but I ended up by losing my consciousness." Felsen sat beside him and ended his story in a low voice.

" What...?! you went unconscious then how did you wake up. Are you alright now?" Brick look at Felsen thoroughly and there was worriedness in his voice.

"Yes, I got faint and after a minute when my breath was about to lose under the pressure of those branches I came into my senses and fought with them and took those leaves and returned," Felsen ended his words in saddened.

"Are you sure you are fine? Why are you sad?" Brick combed his hair with his finger and inquired.

"Yes, I am fine but what did happen if I did not come back to you? Sure you will get hurt for losing me."

"Yes, it is true that I will get hurt. It was your test. Your path is full of danger," Brick asserted in a low voice.

"Ok, tell me, how did you feel when those shoots attacked you together?"

"It was the same as those bad black souls."

"Yes, and that is the reason the master sent you there and advised you to sing loudly. Master is a great master. I...was so worried for you when you did not come after a long time. I got so panicked and afraid of losing my brother. It was like my soul left my body. The time you ran out and hugged me, that thing brought life to my body," Brick got emotional.

"Aaa! am I this important to you," Felsen asked in a lovely manner.

"No doubt, from our first meeting till now you have a special place in my life."

Felsen became happy hearing this and jumped over him which caused him to lie on the bed. "You are also so special to me." Felsen talked and smiled sheepishly. And then they lie beside each other.

"Did not the master show any worry?" Felsen inquired.

"No, but there is no doubt that he loves you. He sure was worried but he didn't say or act anything. And it might be that he has fully trust in you that you can face any danger."

"The master is not a bad person but doesn't know why he doesn't show his feelings, " Felsen talked.

"You are right and it may be like this because he knows everything," Brick chatted looking at the roof.

"Maybe that is the reason. The tea was nice," Felsen said.

"Yes, it was nice." Brick nodded. "I was so afraid. My heart beat it just stopped when I heard you shouting. My body breezes. I told the master to permit me to get in but he didn't. Well, there is no doubt that if you will not come out within five minutes the master himself will get in and bring you out the same as he did when I got stuck in there in my childhood. I was not too small but still...he get in and saved me."

"But how did you get in there?" Felsen raised a question.

"I was so naughty. Somehow I came to know about how to open the magical door to the woodland and then I went away from the sight of the master."

"Really..!"

"Yes, really."

"If you went away from the master's sight then how did the master find you?"

"Of course, he knew that I am a nasty kid so he always had sight on me through the map."

"Aa...! the master was an alert father?" Felsen bobbed. And right after he felt he should not have to say this. Brick, for the first few seconds, was cessation, and after he spoke up, "Yes, the master was a good father."

The atmosphere after this got null and thus Brick questioned a thing from Felsen.

"Felsen by the way what did you sing in the forest."

"Aaa...! my mind was empty. I have heard many songs but at that time nothing came to my mind. It was so strange because I like listening to music. And I ended up by using a birthday song."

"What..! you sang a birthday song?" Brick sat in his place and appeared some happy.

"Yes...!" Felsen also followed him and woke up and sat beside him.

"That song that earthly people sing on their birthday. That "Happy birthday to you."

"Yes. But why are you behaving like this?"

"I am behaving like this because it's my favorite song."

"What...?!" Felsen's facial muscles squeeze when he heard that birthday song is his favorite song.
