Sophie, I am happy... (ePub)

Vile is my love for Miss Sophie, Versatile is her friendship to my heart.

I am Theo, widely regarded as Prince Theodore in the Greek kingdom of 18th century which no longer held much fantasies in its shell as it did centuries back. Though I am well respected and cherished by the people of my hometown, people from the neighborhood hate me up to an extent no person can ever lay an asset on! I have power but still I feel powerless and the reason is my beloved who resides in the other side of the Greek Kingdom where conflicts of hate have recurred as if they were part of life.

Sad was I, always been, to see people fight amongst the souls, who belonged to the two sides of the same coin since birth. Sad was I, because life merely seemed different to me out of the restrictions even I had to go through to meet my beloved who lived on the opposite side, already married, and happy with her own Prince, her own husband who gave her everything she wished for. Her family and her friends had always been everything to her and gratefully there was not a single moment when she felt that life was not a blessing but a mere tragedy. Our friendship had always been a secretive event to every single person who lived in the Greek Kingdom. The reason was simple, people from enemy states can't be friends! Never! Lovers, Never ever! Hardly was she ever aware of my feelings, my love but still she was well aware of the friendship we had. I knew my love was forsaken and nothing could make our story successful now, until one day she wrote me a letter and conveyed something I was never aware off. She deluded me, and I carelessly rushed on my way towards the rival state, despite being the reputed prince of my own Kingdom, Hellas, the one side of the same coin.

I eventually met her, but what I saw next brought tears to my eyes...
