•Sila's POV•
I wondered why Mr.Louis was acting like that.
But I suddenly found an urge to see and explore the room he talked about.
He told that it was filled with ancient paintings.
It would be useful to learn more about Wallon.
I heard Ro calling me. She was standing beside me and heard my conversation with Louis.
She kept on asking me if he has any problem.
"Girl, look who in their right mind would talk like that to a pretty lass like my babe.
Look you are definitely a breathtaking beauty.
Look at your rosy plump lips, which man wouldn't get an urge to kiss it?
Look at your soft skin...
Look at your slender waist.....
Look at your long legs..... "
I heard her vivid description about my beauty.
Even though I never considered myself a breathtaking beauty, I know that I have some charms.
But that guy's attitude made me doubt myself.
Am I that bad?
"Yes, I am right!He might be a gay!That's why he was like that to you.
Tsk...tsk... what a waste of his hot looks!"
Ro's words were filled a bit of disgust and mockery.
I felt my blood boiling with her words.
What is wrong if he is a gay?
Can't they have beauty? What if they are handsome? Will the whole world collapse?
Do they not have the right to have beauty?Why is she talking with disdain?
I could feel rage building up. Even if she was my friend, I would never tolerate her words. How could she talk like that?
"Oopppss!!!!Sillllll....
I am sorry. I know I shouldn't have talked like that. But you know, society always taught us that they are wrong and they are never right.
It is just-"
Ro knew very well that I didn't like her words.
"So what if society taught you? Do you abide by society's every rules? Then why do you treat them with discrimination? What if you were in their place? It's really hard to survive when everyone throw mud at you but a support or atleast a good word can help people rise like a Phoenix.
Being homosexual isn't wrong. It is our mentality that need to be cleansed. It does not mean anything else.
They aren't wrong, they are just pursueing their love interests like we chase after men.
They find it difficult to accept themselves because of people like you. You treat them with disgust that they feel their existence itself is wrong.
I am leaving. If you want to come with me, follow me. And better change your ideas or we would have to clash often and I will have to have an intense battle to clear out all that shit in your head."
I know I might be going overboard but I don't mind it. I will say what I want to.
I hated people spreading such stupid notions.
I was now having my temper on that I didn't wait for Ro and walked to the paintings' room that Mr.Louis suggested.
When I saw the room, I understood that not much people frequented there.
The room was locked and the whole atmosphere was spooky and ancient.
The door was locked to my bad luck.
I thought of searching for the key so that I could oen and see what it had hidden all these years.
The door had many engravings and drawings on it.
It maybe some ancient scriptures.
I wasn't able to make out what it was as it was too dusty and full of webs.
But I could see faintly the outline of a snake on the door.
It was like the snake was standing there to guard the room from intruders.
It had even flung open it's mouth to spat out it's venom on everyone.
I wanted see more of the words engraved on the door.
I felt that there was something that I should know.
I slowly moved closer to door as I felt a force pulling me closer.
It was like I needed that energy as my lifesource.
I eventually moved nearer to the door.
I wasn't able to decipher what happened to me.
Suddenly I heard a disturbing sound ringing in my ears.
It was too noisy; too irritating.
It felt like my eardrums are gonna burst.
My head was aching a lot as the sound rang louder.
The sound was affecting my rationality.It was driving me crazy.
I felt tension rising in my head and felt like hitting my head somewhere to ease the pain.
I noticed that slowly darkness was entering my eyes and I was falling down as the sound continued ringing.
************************
Ro was dumbstruck after she heard Sila's scolding.
She felt guilty at her own low thoughts. She was educated and knowledgeable yet she said such words.
Ro too felt that Sila was right.
Ro was pondering over guilty conscience when she realised that Sila has left her alone.
She immediately went to the room as per what she heard from Louis' conversation to her friend.
When she reached in front of the room, she saw Sila lying unconscious.
"Oh my goddd"
Ro shouted as she tried to wake Sila.
"Sil!!!Babe!!!Wake uppp!!!!"
"Wake up, Sil"
"Don't scare me"
Ro saw that Sila wasn't responding to her and
she immediately took her phone from her pocket and called Ed.
In a few seconds, Ed and Louis rushed over and Louis immediately picked up Sila and carried her to her room.
And they called the doctor to examine her condition.
