Indigo (Shade of a golden heart) [completed] Season 2

Did you hear me? Wake up Phillip, wake up!’ Chalya shook him more violently as he his screaming heightened. She felt disturbed about her brother’s behavior, never in her life had she seen him like this.


He looked so helpless. He sounded so afraid. It was as if his greatest treasure had been taken away from him and he couldn’t do anything to save it.

‘Indigo!’ Phillip’s eyes fluttered and adjusted to the deep blue rays that filled the room. He couldn’t believe he had been dreaming, it had been so real.

‘Jesus…’ He straightened on the bed and held on to his sister’s hands.

‘It’s okay Phil, it is okay, it was just a dream.’ A tear rushed down Chalya’s face.
Her brother had always been the one to protect her and not the other way round. She loved Phillip so much and she hated it whenever he was worried about something.


Sweat trickled down the sides of his face; his head throbbed like he had been hit by something hard.

‘Would you like some water? Should I get you some water?’ Chalya asked, still holding on to his hands.

Phillip drew in a deep breath, ‘No, I’ll be fine.’

He had a terrible dream about Indigo. It was the same dream he had about his mother, and the day they had visited the Forest Reserve. Only that this time, instead of his mother being shot by the strange man, Indigo had taken the bullet.

‘Please Phillip; tell me what it is that bothers you. Share your dream with me.’ Chalya cried.
He had not wanted to tell her anything about his dream. He still felt horrible after the quarrel with their father, but he hated to see his sister cry.

‘Are you sure you want to hear this?’ A small smile played on his lips.

‘Yes, I want to know everything. Is this about mother?’ Chalya asked.

He shook his head, ‘No, it’s about someone else.’ He sighed. Phillip had not planned to tell anyone about the girl he had met earlier, the one that had capture his mind, but he was left with no choice now.

‘Really? Do I know this person?’ Chalya quickly brushed away her tears. She couldn’t hold back her excitement. She knew whoever this person was, had a strong hold on her brother. But she wouldn’t rejoice just yet, she had to be sure it wasn’t Moremi.

He didn’t know how to begin, because what had just happened didn’t make sense. He had only met her today! And here he was seeing her in his dreams.

‘Promise you wouldn’t laugh or judge me?’ He pulled Chalya towards the bed, so she could sit beside him.

This made her laugh, why in heaven would she laugh or judge her only brother?
‘Come on bro, you know you can always tell me about anything, except of course if this is about Moremi, then I don’t want to hear about it.’
Phillip snorted, ‘Why do you hate her so much? Moremi is the nicest person if you get the chance to know her.’

Chalya was not interested in talking about her brother’s ex. As far as she was concerned, Moremi was a deadly serpent and if her brother was not careful, he could lose his life hanging around her.

‘Let’s stop the Moremi talk, tell me, who did you see in your dream?’ She waited eagerly for an answer.

He pulled in a deep breath, closed his eyes and opened them again.

‘Indigo. Her name is Indigo Hassan.’ He smiled as he thought of her.

She was so simple and delicate. She was full of life and innocent. He had never encountered such an attractive person in his thirty two years of living.

‘Indigo?’ Chalya had heard him screaming that, but wasn’t that a name of a color?
‘What sort of name is that?’ She scoffed; it was rare and almost superficial.

He explained to her that he had also reacted that same way when she had first told him her name.
‘I think it suits her…’ he smiled.

‘Really?’ Chalya arched a brow; she could see that her brother was already smitten by this girl, Indigo.

‘Yes. I think you will like her, ‘Phillip didn’t know why he made this assumption, but it would be hard for anyone not to like Indigo.

‘Tell me more, because I have never seen you this fascinated about someone except…’ she paused.

He knew whom she wanted to mention, ‘Except whom?’

She had not planned to ruin this beautiful moment, but she had no choice but to tell him what she truly thought.
‘Mother, whenever you talk about her, your eyes glow the same way they are glowing now.’
Her response made him laugh. Could a total stranger have such a powerful effect on him?
‘Whatever. But you can’t blame me, I was drawn to her at first sight. She is such a beautiful creature. Her eyes are clear pools of brown, innocent, enthralling and piercing even to the soul. She has a welcoming nature and one of the customers failed to appreciate that. I had to go rescue her.’

Chalya was a bit lost, she was not following her brother’s story.

‘I don’t understand, you met her where?’
‘In a coffee shop, Davina’s coffee shop.’ He answered.

He went on to explain how the brute had slapped the poor girl and how stupidly her boss had acted by firing her.

‘How stupid of him, that is why I hate the “customer is always right,” rule. She apologized!’ Chalya was pissed.

‘Oh yes she did, but he wouldn’t listen. It turned out that was her first day at the coffee shop. She was fired and I felt so bad for her. I didn’t want to talk about her at first, because I was pissed at Barf for not showing up. But I couldn’t take my eyes off her.’ He smiled as he recalled how she had addressed him as “Sir.”
