"Fear, in its full flow can engulf you whole, you try your level best to come out of it, to fight that sinking feeling in your heart, to somehow reach to the other end."
Calliope Iphegenia Torres, 18, standing at the door frame of her parent's room had the same thought playing in her mind, its was now or never, she was raised to be honorable, this was it, she had to do it.
Taking a deep breath and some shaky steps, she knocked at the door of her parent's room, hearing a come in, she went ahead and saw her parents doing their routinal work, her mother Lucia Torres, high profile Corporate Lawyer was adjusting her cupboard, and her father the Big Property Moghual Carlos Torres, of Spain, was busy in his laptop. Callie knew, her declaration may not set right with her mother, but her father, her pillar will always be there to catch her, she was sure about that, she knew that.
"Mija are you going to share your thoughts, or do I have to take a wild guess?" Carlos Torres said, shaking Callie out of her inner monologue.
"Mom, Dad there is something I need to tell you guys, and its important, so I umm, want you all to listen me, I mean understand my point of view, I really want you guys to be ok with this, Please", Callie knew she was rambling, but she was also building on the courage.
"Calliope, you already know that we are very proud of you getting the scholarship to Harvard Medical School, even if its in a foreign land, we are very proud of you and support you darling." behind the tough exteriors of a ruthless lawyer, Lucia Torres was a loving mother.
Gathering all the courage, Callie could muster, she spoke with an unwavering tone
"Mom, Dad .. I am Gay, I can never love and appreciate a man's body and mind the way I feel about women."
Callie braced herself for the verbal lashing she knew was heading her way, the bibical quotes that was about to come... But it never came, there was SILENCE mere SILENCE.
And with that came the sinking feeling she dreaded, she managed a glance to her mother who was rooted to her spot,and then she looked at her father with pleading eyes, she had faith that her father will catch her no matter what,but instead
Carlos Torres, closed his laptop, looked at Callie and said "Get Out..."
And in that split seconds Callie had lost her everything.
