(From Liam's Point of View)

I found them across the road under a tree, both of them are silent, the girl is just staring at him intensely, the man said something to the girl and the silence become more deep and he left. The girl is not crying anymore, as she just stared at the back of the man.After the boy left, the girl just sat on the ground as her legs have no power, her head is down. I felt a responsibility as a human and approached her with a handkerchief. She suddenly yelled, "How can you love another man".I know she just got a broken heart she is not in her stable mind, so I said politely, "Love has no gender".after hearing the words, she lifts her head and said, " Then how can he can't love me just because I am a girl, why can't he see my love for him? ".I seriously don't know the reason myself, I just stood there and said "sorry".The girl started laughing and said you know he also said sorry to me. He is sorry that he can't love me because I am not a boy.He also told me that I can easily find someone who will love me, then why did not he love me, why does not he become the person.Then she asked me why I am sorry for.without waited for my reply, she started talking "you know I have always known he doesn't love me. I just can't bring myself to accept the fact". She took the handkerchief from my hand and said, "I am so jealous of you, I wish I were a boy".After hearing those words I just couldn't understand the feeling I experienced for the first time, "the life I thought was a shame, the life everyone despise of, the crying night when I thought life would not be miserable as this if I were a girl,the times when I thought to end this life".She is jealous of that life . I felt a shiver in my heart, an old pain in my chest. I just froze there for some time unconsciously. When I got my senses back, the girl already left. I really don't know how I got home that day. After that time, my eyes are always looking for that girl whenever I am in the bar. I just couldn't forget the face who is jealous of me.As time passed, the memories of that day took a place in my heart without my permission.My entire life became a jigsaw puzzle, where all pieces are there in their places but still incomplete. Soon after we met again at the gay bar in a autumn night fall. This time she is not crying but laughing. I go curious again why did she came at a gay bar for and suddenly our eyes matched. I instantly down my eyes and while I am still thinking of going to her for a just a small talk, she came to me with a handkerchief in her hand and said, I don't know if you remembered me or not but this handkerchief is yours, you lended me when I needed the most, Thank you. I just gave her a smile cause I really don't know what to say, my heart is not ready for the moment.She gave me her phone and said "Can I have your number?", I have to go over there quickly they are calling for me, you owe me I just want to repay. I just gave her my number on her mobile . She took her phone and bowed to me and went to the table where two men were already present. Next Morning, I got a message from her. She asked me if I am free this Sunday to meet her. I replied with yes. She immediately sent me the address and the plans for that as she is super excited for the meeting.
