The Scale of Love [Episode 1]Updated at Nov 11, 2022, 06:26
Is there really true love in the world? Can we touch true love? Why can't everyone touch true love? What color is love? Is love happy? Is it sad? Is love good? There is a girl named "Sandrayal" who always asks.
He lives in a village near a small town in a developing country. She doesn't believe in love. She lives a peaceful and smart life. She also loves music. She loves nature.From a young age, she raised her parents' honor. She is a girl who excels in everything.
However, as the saying goes, 'No one is perfect', everyone always has a weakness. Sandrayal has one too. She has always been alone and studies all her life, so it is hard for her to come into contact with strangers. If she touches their hands by accident, she washes her hands frequently. When a stranger sits next to her, she becomes suffocated.She has a lot of friends. But there are no male friends. She avoids guys when riding the bus at school and everywhere. She avoids them so much that some people think she is a lesbian. Some friends also avoid her. In her village, homosexuality is condemned. After people think she is a lesbian, people avoid her. They look at her with disgust.
This problem has started to affect her life. Her parents and friends are worried about her. She has a lively and talkative best friend named "Maria". Maria and she have been together since childhood and have no secrets. Maria wants to solve what Sandaryal is facing. So she comes up with an idea. She suggests that Sandrayal, who has never had a boyfriend, get a boyfriend. At first, Sandrayal refuses to do it at all.But in order to solve this problem, she finally accepted. Sandrayal's parents also liked this idea.
Sandrayal accepts to solve the problem, but she is not happy. In fact, she just wants a friend, not a boyfriend. She also knows that Maria asked her to date so that people don't think she is a lesbian. She is determined to solve the problem because she loves the village, so she goes to meet the person who hooked Maria up.
Not far from the village where Sandrayal lives, there is a small town. There is a young boy waiting for Sandrayal at a coffee shop in that small town. His name is "Mark". Mark is elegant and tall. He has brown skin and dimples on his cheeks when he smiles. He is also a first-year medical student. He is very social. He is the complete opposite of Sandrayal.
Mark and Sandrayal are scheduled to meet at 9 o'clock on Sunday morning. Mark knows a little about Sandrayal, but Sandrayal doesn't know Mark at all.
Sandrayal rode a bicycle from the village to the small town. It took 40 minutes to get from the village to the small town. After pedaling for almost an hour, she arrived at the coffee shop. She only knew the name "Mark" and did not know his age at all.
"Is it Sandrayal? I'm Mark." Mark said to her. After the two of them sat down, Mark said, "Order what you like to have a drink. "I don't know what you like, so I didn't make a reservation." Mark had already ordered a cup of coffee before Sandrayal arrived. Sandrayal said, "Give me a glass of water.Then Mark introduced himself by saying, "Hi Sandrayal, my name is Mark, I'm a medical student, and I'm 21 years older than you." Sandrayal replied, "Yes, I'm Sandrayal."
Mark already knew about Sandrayal and smiled vaguely, "Are you in your last year of high school?" "Yes," she answered briefly again. Then Mark asked, "Don't you want to know about me?" "How do you know Maria?" She asked."Is that your friend Maria? She's my mother's niece. Maria and I are kindred spirits, but since we live in the city, we're not very close. Consider her cousin Sandrayal" he said with a laugh.
“How much do you know about me?” she asked."I've heard that you're a good-looking, cool girl, but a girl who likes the same sex," he said. Sandrayal was very angry at that. Sandrayal didn't like Mark's openness.But what she noticed was that her word had spread from village to city.
Mark asked, "Do you fear or hate men?" Sandrayal was startled by the question. It was a question she didn't expect at all."I neither fear nor fear/hate men, I don't like interacting with them like that," Sandrayal answered.
"Does anything hurt if you touch them?" "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Mark asked as if asking a patient."There's no injury. If I touch them every now and then, I'll be hard and stiff," she answered. Then Mark said, "You have to heal.
"Sandraya said in her mind, "Am I coming to the hospital or on a date?" Mark wanted to ask Sandrayal, "What can I do to help you?" Sandrayal was surprised. She thought that dating was not like this.She only thought,"Talking a lot/hold hands/walk around beautiful places/kiss each other." But Mark asked her, "What can I help you with?" She was very surprised.However, she was focused on solving the problem. After Mark asked her that, she said, "Help people not think I'm a lesbian." "Well, how can I do that?" Mark said, "I don't know that either”.
