Finally, it's over. I mean, the book. It was possible only because of people who supported me and God, who provided me both the opportunity and willpower to take it this far. The kind efforts of some people have enabled me to compile and write this book, beginning with the most important and unending source of support: my family, who have never like ever read my work but they still believe that I'd be able to do it and thus, they always continue to support me in this. I would like to thank them all for helping.

And once again, thanks chocoSK You know without you I wouldn't even be aware of this contest. Like you've always been so supportive. I praise and love you so much. What in the world would I do without you in my life? I dare not think about that possibility. I feel my best self when I’m with you; you are the sort of person that raises the energy of a room with your presence and easy smile (only from my point of view though). It is such a comfort to me to know that no matter how often we speak or see each other and no matter the distances between us, the second we’re together it’s as though we were never apart. That means a lot. You mean a lot!
I am truly grateful for your friendship and for your readiness to share anything and everything. I hope you know I offer the same to you today and always.

And since I'm always thanking her, I doubt there'll be any of my reader left who wouldn't know of her. But today, I'd like to thank another friend of mine. I don't know if I should reveal the name or not (she isn't an official member of Wattpad family yet). But a small clue, if you're reading it, her name starts with H...

Who the heck even thinks of sending Thank You to friends like you?! Friends are the people who choose us. (And sometimes use us.) Friends are those people who are always there for you, and I agree that you aren't always there for me nor we talk that frequently, but trust me when I say this, I decided to continue writing this book after thinking of synopsis was only because of you.

How do I ever begin to thank you for being such a wonderful friend? The best part of our relationship is that we both know how special we are to each other. Thank you for always being there to enjoy good times with, for taking the time to listen. You always have something kind or comforting to say, and your advice has steered me in the right direction, again and again. Thank you for knowing me almost as well as I know myself!

I also want to thank you for sharing my hard times and my happy times. Your friendship and caring make each of them better. When I met you, I made a friend of lifetime. We may not talk as much, but I know if I ever talk to you about my problems or happiness, you'd listen and try your best to make me feel welcomed. Thank you.

Edited acknowledgement (additional friend, who's definitely one of the very best) :-

Do I really need to add your name? Once again, she's not an official member of Wattpad community yet so, I'm gonna thank her indirectly. Obviously she'll know it's her I'm thanking (maybe...?) And in case, she doesn't let's drop a hint. Her name starts with A...

It’s hard to meet people in life who are willing to give everything without the hope of any return. I call myself lucky because I have someone like that in my life. It’s you! You have always been there in my hard times and my heartbreaks. I thank god everyday for blessing me with such a true friend like you!

I know we don't talk much and of course, you're to blame for that.¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯ Like you can't even argue over this fact. (ಠ_ಠ)━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟBut of course, you know that I love you. Right? And whenever we do talk, we literally, like seriously, end up talking for hours and hours. ¯\_༼ ಥ ‿ ಥ ༽_/¯
I just wanted to tell you that you’ve always held a special place in my heart. You are someone I can count on in every step of my life. May our beautiful friendship last forever! (If you actually let it ╮(＾▽＾)╭)

You are everything that a true friend can be. You are the most precious gift from God. Anyone can be on your mind at any time, but only a handful can stay in your heart all the time. They are called friends. You are one of them to me.

You know every trick to make me smile (actually your face itself makes me smile... This is a compliment╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭) and every magic to make my sadness disappear. Your kind of friend is so rare because you are the most precious gem in the world! And I know I'm sounding more like taunting than praising you but come on... You know I love you loads know?

Thank you so much for reading my work (even though I know it's so not your cup of tea to go through novels) ᕦ༼ ~ •́ ₒ •̀ ~ ༽ᕤ
And I'm putting so many emoticons because I know you can't add these ୧(﹒︠ᴗ﹒︡)୨

Author's thought on love :

To define love is to say that a person loves someone unselfishly, that he or she cares about the happiness of the other person and will do anything to help that person feel happiness without expecting anything in return.

To put a definition another way, love is the feeling that exists between a parent and child, or even between a dog and his master. It is a love that is given without expecting or even really caring if that love is returned. You love this person wholeheartedly, and nothing is going to change that. Honest feeling of love means that you accept one’s faults without judgment. While romantic love between two people is a means to love unconditionally, the concept of love refers to one or both individuals loving the other and expecting nothing back.

In other words, love is what one feels. I repeat, FEELS... Love is warming. Love is beautiful. Love is an imperfect, but no less joyous feeling.

LGBTQ+ people have faced centuries of prejudice – and still face it today, even from friends, family and work colleagues. Yet, the fight for equality has pushed LGBTQ+ communities to truly celebrate their sexuality and gender, take pride in it and explore what it really means – something heterosexual or cisgender couples may take for granted.

One caveat here is that this celebration of sexuality doesn't always apply to the public arena. Most of the studies found that LGBTQ+ partners were less likely to show affection in public, often caused by fears around social stigma and personal safety. Living in a society where your wellbeing is at risk takes bravery and courage to be who you are. It also requires you to own your vulnerabilities and be sensitive to those of your partner.

Heterosexual couples seldom, if ever, sit down and talk about their sexuality or how they celebrate this in public. Yet being attentive to a partner’s sense of personal comfort around public displays of affection (PDA) is beneficial for any relationship, whatever the couple’s sexuality.

LGBTQ+ couples show a tendency to manage disagreements in a more positive way, being more likely to use praise and encouragement rather than criticism, blame or nagging – and are happier in return. Of course, they truly and completely deserve it.

Basic rights of human includes a rule i.e to be a master of his/her own feelings and life. We shouldn't try to take it away from someone, irrespective of their background. Sevyn and Evangeline had to go through a lot, just for loving each other. If Sevyn had received parental love, situations may have been a bit different. So, please try to support everyone around you if their feelings are genuine, irrespective of their 'type of love'.

Honestly, it was brutal what they had to go through. The price for falling in love was way too much.

Movie plots or novels dramatize how to get into a relationship — the main character likes their crush, asks them out on a date, confesses their love and then they become a couple — right? Well, things aren’t always so easy in real life. Lennox was not desperate to find a significant other because of the society but he believed that the time will come when it comes. The world was evolving in his eyes and thus, he unintentionally broke the stereotypes by finding love for himself on his own time. Never being in a relationship can seem unusual and sad — but actually, it is not. He was alone but okay. Because somewhere deep down, he believed that someday, there'll be someone who would understand his 'type of love' and love him regardless too. His wish finally got granted via Aislinn' entry in his life. Unfortunately it didn't go well for both of them. And society is to blame.

It's enough if my analysis for this book as this topic may continue for generations. Some may agree over time, whereas some will never adjust to the idea of treating love as just a feeling, regardless of gender, race, cast or colour.
