Chapter 22

                       Epilogue......

Maxon kissed me softly before he cradled Eadlyn in his arms.Ahren was fast asleep and Quinn was sadly staring at the wall.Hope was humming a song which I didn't knew.
One year.It had been one year since Aspen had gone into a coma.Each day I saw that line which determined his heartbeat and life.He was barely holding on.But I knew each and every laboured breathe he took was for me. His hair was back to black and i wondered if I could see those mesmerising green irises. Maxon was my supporting pillar without whom I would be lost.
"You okay?"He asked,his chocolate eyes making my heart melt.
"Yeah....."I mumbled embracing him.He kissed the top of my head and then my forehead.
"I love you my dear."He whispered in my ear before gently rocking me like i was a child.I cried on his chest.
"I am sorry.....it was all my fault.I shouldn't have smashed that damn vase on his head."He said sighing.I tilted my chinup to look at his guilt  ridden face.
"No....No....its not your fault Maxon.You had to protect me and you did that.Its not your fault."I said staring straight into his eyes.He smiled and then kissed me lovingly.I stayed in his arms before he again spoke.
"Strange isn't it that he was a Northern rebel.It feels weird without him giving me constant death stares.".
I laughed and he laughed too.We were  silent again.
"I miss him."Maxon said tracing my cheeks with his fingers.
"I miss him too."I whispered.He sighed heavily before getting up.
"Your Majesty.......He is awake."A guard said panting.
My heart swelled with love as i rushed to the infirmary.
"Dr Ashlar is he...is he really....awake?"I asked him my eyes wide open.
"Yes he is but.....but...there are some complications."He said.
I didnt pay attention to that part much and saw him standing against the window sill.
"Aspen.....oh gods."I said tears forming in my eyes.I hugged him.
"I am sorry....so sorry.....you deserve so much better .......is missed you .each and every day I would sit beside you thinking that i lost you.I missed you...."I said crying hard on his chest. He was silent.He shouldn't be.
I pulled back and looked into his green eyes which were filled with emotions which shouldn't be there.Confusion.Perplexity.Doubt and hesitancy.He cooked his head to one side like a lost puppy.
"America I supposed to know you?"He asked his tone laced with scepticism.
"What....Aspen....its me America."I whispered.His face crumpled up in
i

ncertitude.
Dr Ashlar pulled me aside.
"That's what I was trying to say.His memory.He has lost it.That hit which he took.....too much pressure on his brain.It faded over the year.We tried our best to revive it but all the efforts went in vain.I am sorry."He said walking away.
Memory.Lost.Faded.Aspen.Gone.
Those words somehow didn't make any sense but they did make sense.I  probably sounding stupid.
He doest remember me. That's when his voice jarred me out of my thoughts.
"She yours?"Aspen asked pointing at sleeping Eadlyn.
"yeah."I answered trying to control back my tears.He smiled at me and i broke down.
Lost.I had lost him altogether. He was gone. So i had lost the battle and then I felt a ache in my heart which said that i had  lost him forever.I looked at his smiling face and gave up.
