He was the blue-eyed boy of the family! Well behaved soft-spoken and docile! The only child to land a “Secure” job while the other kids "experimented” with careers! He had no demands as a child and his education didn’t cost much! “He will be a perfect husband” his mother would beam! Not to forget the prospective matches that were being made!
One day, It was all over! He was found “kissing” somebody! To add to it, it was a boy he was philandering with. With that, he came to be called as “that” with a wink!! His popularity sagged with the news and the aunts had their tongues wagging!
His abnormality was attributed to the “Caste-less Marriage” his parents had. All his virtues turned into vices overnight! Soft-spoken? Well-behaved? Very quiet? Oh! that was because he was a faggot in the hiding! He was never “clean”! His “good boy” rating reduced to a third and his hitherto useless cousins were “normal and fine”!
Strangely, he was unmoved by the decline! He took the mockery with an unusual grace as if he was waiting for the “dethroning”! Bereft of all the pretense and unburdened! He felt alive!
