A Love Story

"Selene is a beautiful girl with long white hair. Her face is decorated with dimples. With small body stature, Selene looks like a doll. Any growing teenager would easily fall in love with her. But Selene won't love back any of them. It is because she has no interest in boys (or males). But she don't want her reality to be revealed. She made many boyfriends, just so that the society don't label her as a 'Lesbian'. She can't see shame in her brother's eyes. Helios, Selene's elder brother, is a tall and handsome young man. Selene owes everything to Helios. After passing of their parents, Helios took care of Selene. Helios is the reason behind Selene's bright and beautiful life. Being a Lesbian, it was hard for Selene to keep relationship attached for longer periods. It resulted her being upset all the time. Not because of that breakups but because she thinks that the girl she loves, Gaea, will think very little of her.

Gaea is friend of Selene. She has no idea about Selene being a homosexual. Gaea is almost of same age of Selene. With blueish hair and charming face with white skin tone, Gaea looks no lesser than an angel fallen from heaven. However, this beautiful Gaea has no lovers. Except for Selene, there is no one in the world who would love Gaea. However, Gaea has no idea about Selene's love. Nor is Gaea a homosexual. Gaea is already in love with Selene's brother Helios. She even proposed Helios and Helios accepted her proposal. When Selene knew about this, she didn't wanted to break the two hearts that mattered most to her. That is the only reason Selene never told Gaea about her one-sided love.

But Irony takes a new turn here. Just like Selene, Helios too is a homosexual. Being afraid of society, he had to accept Gaea's proposal. No one in the world has even a tiniest idea about Helios's homosexuality. Helios manages to convince the world that he is as straight as it gets. But deep inside, he is the only one who knows the truth. He himself was confused before a couple of years. But when he met a young man, little older than him, he fall in love with that young man immediately. He hardly spent a week with this guy. His name was Sag. Sag had a herculean body with dark skin tone. Sag was an open minded guy. He loved both Men and Women. For him love was just a physical entity. He had an amazing charm which made everyone fall in love with him. Helios is waiting for next few years to pass. After 2-3 years, Helios is planning to move into Sag's city. So that he can spend more time with Sag.

One point we must notice here, None of them gets their love fulfilled because of some reasons. And more horrifying truth is Helios and Selene has accepted love lives that is nothing more but an imprisonment for them. This love lives of theirs will only end in one way. Whenever the truth will come in front, there will be a pile of broken hearts. More importantly, this lives of imprisonment are chosen by them because of the fear of society and nothing else. That is what society do to people who do not obey their rules. Rules that are nothing but contradiction to the ancient culture and science. The life of the different ones only leads to two possible path. First, accept you are different and Society will take care that your life becomes hell. Second, hide your true identity and destroy your own life, so that society don't need to get their hands colored in blood. Either way, the final destination is a hell on earth."  

Prof. David stood their after completing his speech. There was still a pin drop silence in the hall. People were shocked by the way David had portrayed society's view of homosexuality. None of them had dared to stand up and clap. None but One. An old man and colleague of David. He is been opposing David's views from the time David got lime light for his work towards betterment of Homosexuals. His name is Smith. 

" A fascinating fiction story. Why don't you try into the Hollywood? They are always looking for guys with brilliant fiction stories. I can even get you in touch with some of my friends who work there. Only dull moment was when you mentioned that Homosexuality is in our culture! I think you forgot to do your homework today David.", Smith said.

With a weary smile on his face, David replied, " Oh! Did I sir? Let me educate you a little. Our culture is based on the myths. Those myth took form of religions and made religious cultures we follow today. Selene is Greek goddess of Moon. Helios, which you must know, is God of Sun. Gaea is goddess of earth. And my friend, I also made mention of Science in my speech that you must have ignored. Sag, a character from my fabulous fiction story as you described it, is Sagittarius A, the very center of our milky way. Now let me unfold this character and science in a way that geniuses like you understand as per your IQ. Selene as I first mentioned is Moon. Moon orbits Earth. Selene, a female form of moon, loves Gaea, a female form of earth. Here 'loves' indicates her whole life of orbiting earth or Gaea. Same is true with Gaea orbiting Helios, who in turn orbits center of the Milky Way. Now I know, you may call my claim naive. But You cannot deny the fact that this is the best way to make understand radicals like you the concept of Homosexuality. Which is nothing else but another form of love. Nature is nothing else but a love story. A love story as different as love stories of Homosexuals. I know very few of you in this hall believe that Homosexuality is natural. I ask to the rest, Is it natural to make someone else's life hell as he does not believe in things being natural as you do?"

Again no one in the hall dared to speak. Not even Mr. Smith. Prof. David was not sure that whether he made all of them believe in his point or it was a calm before a storm. An old man in the back row stood up and started clapping slowly.

"Bravo! Bravo! Nature is a love story indeed. Love Story of a different kind!"
