View MoreLove has no boundaries. It neither cares about the religion nor about the sexuality. It happens to anyone at anytime. It can be between a girl and a boy or a girl and a girl or a boy and a boy. No matter what the sexuality is, love is the same. Love is clearly not based on sexuality. **** Like the same, love happened between two rivals. Between two guys, who always fought with eachother. The two young souls, who were so broken from inside, met eachother to fix the broken parts, to fight against the society and to fight for what they truly deserved. After Ace’s confession, they both had to face many problems. They faced insults, humiliations and bullying, which Ace afraid the most, but they stood strong. Ralph and Freddie never opposed them but they felt furious as they got to knew about their relationship, lately. But after few kicks and punches, everything went normal. Arthur raged at his son for what he had done and again tried to brainwash
Edwin was on the terrace, having his drink, looking at the sky and gazing at the stars. The talk with Ralph that he had was not leaving his mind. A few minutes back, he called Ralph to wish him the luck as the next morning was the competition. The talk lead to their graduation and then their future that scared Edwin. In just a few days, Edwin and Ace were going to graduate and if they wouldn’t talk and solve their problems before their graduation, then it might increase their distance so much as there were chances of Ace leaving to foreign. “Ace! I don’t want to lose you.” Edwin mumbled. He then continued drinking, trying to stay calm yet his mind was as chaotic as always. He looked at his cell phone for the hundredth time, feeling like calling Ace. Finally, he held his cell phone with his little shivering hands. He wanted to talk and solve everything but he didn’t understand where to start. He decided to talk to him but his mind was opposing his decision. He then decided to at least
Edwin couldn’t focus on the work he was doing as he kept thinking about the competition, the academy and his team. In the morning, North Hill students left to the academy that reminded him of the days when he used to get excited to go to the academy.He rested his elbows on the computer desk and rubbed his face with his palms, letting out a sigh. The memories of him being with his friends, playing in the basketball court, the academy and all other things kept hitting his head, making him unable to focus on anything.Along with that, last night moment was still displaying in front of his eyes. Before Ace’s visit, he kept thinking about him and was dying to see him. Like a blessing Ace arrived. Though he wanted to hug him, kiss him and wish him the luck for the competition, he stood still as he didn’t want Ace to know he was thinking about him.“Oh God!” he mumbled, holding his head. “Focus Ed, focus.” He muttered to get c
Ace was beyond angry not just with Edwin but with everything and everyone. Edwin was not even giving an eye contact with him that was shattering him. He kept trying to talk to him, convince him but Edwin’s ignorance was making him broken. He never felt so much about anything or anyone like he was feeling for Edwin.He kept trying to make everything normal, sending gifts, acting so gentle to win him back but little did he knew those were not the things Edwin wanted, he just wanted Ace to support him and be with him no matter what the situation was.As for Ace, he couldn’t clearly understand what else he had to do to win his heart again. The angry look on Edwin’s face whenever they met unknowingly was making him go crazy. Apart from that, the thought of Edwin had moved on was sending chills across his spine. He didn’t want Edwin to forget him. He wanted him in his life, all his life.“I don’t understand what to do, Jacob.”
Ace thought Edwin’s anger would fade away with days. He thought Edwin would talk to him again but nothing happened like he assumed, instead their relationship was totally falling apart. Seeing the only person, whom he loved from his depth of the heart, hating him, Ace couldn’t keep himself calm. It was hurting him too much. The mental stress that he was carrying was so much that he felt he would go mad someday.Though he knew what he told Edwin or what he decided to do was wrong, he couldn’t help it. He saw no other option before him. All the time Edwin’s thoughts were consuming in his head and he was not even concentrating on his game, the last game, which was coming so near. Jacob tried to patch them up but he failed in convincing Edwin.On the other hand, Edwin was feeling the same as Ace. He was feeling restless. He wanted to see Ace, talk to him, touch him but whatever Ace said never left him and it kept reminding him how selfish Ace was an
Ace held his head with his palms, falling onto his knees. Seeing Edwin walking away, he was shattered. He felt he was not just walking out from the house but from his life. He didn’t mean to talk like that, he wanted to convince him but the frustration he had been carrying within himself got the best out of it and the choice of his words made the situation worse.He had been keeping himself away from Edwin only to stay near him in the future but he couldn’t assume the things that would happen with his decision.Immediately, he ran out calling Edwin’s name to stop him but he was not much lucky. By the time he walked out, Edwin already left from there. Ace walked out hoping to see him on the street and he walked on the streets looking at the surroundings. When he reached the main road, as he wished Edwin was walking on the street but before he reached him Edwin took the passenger bus that was stopped near the signal and left from there.“Ed
Edwin kept checking his cell phone, waiting for Ace's reply. He was not even concentrating on his work as he kept thinking about Ace all the time. When he heard the notification sound, he got excited to see the reply but after seeing it, his heart shrank.Ace: Ed, so sorry. I am going out with Jacob. I will meet you later.Edwin just stared at the message swallowing down his sadness. He badly wanted to meet Ace and share everything that he had been doing at the office with him but Ace seemed he was not at all interested in it. It reminded him of Liam, and the days when he used to die to meet Liam but he kept turning down his ideas.Without giving any reply, Edwin turned off his phone to focus on his laptop. Although he was not at all interested to concentrate on his work, he couldn’t risk getting thrown out from there. After a few hours of his work, he reached his home. His mind was clouded with many thoughts and his already overthinking state became more.
The next day Edwin’s parents began to leave. His father didn’t talk to him since last night that hurt Edwin. Even though he kept trying to talk, his father was ignoring him and that ignorance shattered him. He could understand his father was too much angry on him but he couldn’t see his father ignoring him. While his father was in his bedroom packing his bag, Edwin entered in. His father gave him a look and continued his work ignoring him. “Won’t you talk to me?” Edwin asked looking at his father. “What’s there to talk?” his father replied, angrily. “Nothing?” Edwin’s eyes welled up with tears. “If you are angry then hit me, dad. But please don’t ignore me.” “What can I do, Ed?” His father shouted. “Do you know what you are doing? Do you really understand?” he scoffed. “A homo? Really?” Edwin bent his head down swallowing down his emotions. His father continued “How can you even say that? Don’t you know the things that you will face once everyone knows it?” Edwin slightly nodde
“We are so happy to see you after a long time.” Edwin’s mother spoke welcoming Kate and Ralph. “We are equally happy, aunt. It’s so good to see you.” Kate replied hugging her. Ralph shook his hand with Edwin’s father, greeting him. They all stepped inside the house and began conversing, casually. “Ed, invite your friend, Ace too. Let’s have dinner together.” Edwin’s father announced that surprised Ralph and Kate, a little. “You know Ace?” Ralph questioned and Edwin pressed his lips together but he didn’t try to convince him or divert the topic. He let Ralph and Kate to know everything. While his father kept saying things about Edwin and Ace, how they both used to visit the town, Ralph and Kate, stunned. For Kate, the doubt of Edwin in relationship with Ace multiplied, but she didn’t dare to ask Edwin although she wanted to know what was going on between them. While they kept talking, Ace and Jacob entered in. Seeing Jacob, Kate’s smile widened just as Edwin’s face brightened when
