Preface
When someone says romantically, "I love you," how
does one know if those words came directly from the heart or
just from the lips? How do we decipher the meaning of
those three beautiful words? Many unscrupulous guys say I
love you' to their girlfriends to only have sex with them.
There is true and untrue love. Sometimes love starts
truly but eventually gets diluted and vaporises.
Everyone should know the truth of a real and true love.
On the other hand, they should be aware of the truth of untrue
love. There are many signals and indications that could
be seen or observed which can reveal if that love and romantic
relationship is untrue. The author exposes those signs
and indications of untrue love in the novel. God should be in
the centre of a relationship. After you read and digest
this novel, you will discern who truly loves you or whom you
should choose to really fall in love. This book will
help you also to get out of untrue love before it is too late.

Room
No. 6 in Girls' Dorm
The
cell-phone rings. Sally picks up the cell-phone, which
is on the bed.
"Hello,
who is this?" answered Sally.
"This
is Oliver!"
"I
told you not to call me," yelled Sally.
"Sorry!
Even in anger, your voice sounds like music to my ears!"
"Enough
of your flattery! What the heck do you want?"
"Please
tell me those three sweet words which will solve all my
problems," whispered Oliver.
Of
course, Sally knew that Oliver had a crush on her and the
three words he wanted to hear were, I love you.' But Sally
did not have even an iota of love for him.
"I
am not going to say those words and don't waste my time,"
replied Sally.
"I
beg you, please, please, say those three words which will
solve all my problems in my life."
"I
am not saying them!"
"Please
don't break my heart. Your three words will solve all my
problems in my life."
Finally,
Sally did say three words, which could also solve all problems
in Oliver's life. She shouted in the cell phone these
three words, "Go hang yourself" and abruptly
switched off the cell phone.
Sally
was beautiful. She was 15 years old. Her hair was like shiny
threads woven to a head of a silver princess. She had an
hourglass shaped body. If she were living in Cleopatra's time
and place, then Cleopatra would have had a heart attack! She
could be any male's heartthrob.
After
sometime, Cynthia and Fiona barged into the room after taking
shower in the bathrooms. The girls' dorm had common bathrooms
and toilets.
"I
hate this dorm life!" snarled Cynthia.
"Why?"
asked Sally.
"I
saw a rat on the toilet seat."
"Maybe
you gave birth to it."
"You
shut up!"
Fiona,
who was drying her hair with a towel, added her complaints.
"This
dorm is worse than hell!"
"How
do you know? Have you been there?" enquired Sally
sarcastically.
"Don't
irritate me by your talk or else you will bring the devil out
of me."
"You
are already one! You don't have to bring the devil out!"
retorted Sally and ran out of the room.
Sally,
Cynthia and Fiona were all roommates. Cynthia and Fiona
were also 15 years old. The fourth roommate was Judy and she
was 16 years of age. Judy went to church that day. They all
lived in Room No.6 in the girls' dorm in their High School
campus. The school was located at the foot of a very beautiful
hill. It had a lot of trees.
But
definitely Room No.6 was not in the good books of their dean
Nora. According to the dean Nora, Room No.6 was always a
problematic room. With the exception of Judy, they were always
troubling not only her, but also the other girls in the dorm.
They were thorns in the flesh of the whole school.
The
ambitions of these girls were diverse. Cynthia desired to be a
film star in Hollywood. She always had male photo books
under her pillow. Sally, of course, wanted to be a great
person in the society. She really did not decide what
exactly she wanted to be, but she wanted to be famous. Fiona
was a girl who was easily influenced by others. If
somebody advised her to be a medical doctor, then she would
plan to be one. If somebody else told her that she wouldn't
make a good doctor, but could be a good teacher, then she
would decide to be a teacher. If someone else articulated that
she would not make a good teacher, but a good singer,
consequently Fiona would try to sing even when the donkeys
were braying near their school farm, to support her singing.
If anybody advised her to read any type of book, she would
read because she didn't have really a personality of her own.
Cynthia liked to read novels too and always there were
different novels under her bed.
However,
Judy was like a square peg in a round hole. She was
quite religious. She used to always have a Bible under her
pillow, and she always talked about spiritual matters. She
didn't bother so much about the worldly affairs. Since Judy
was so different from Fiona, Cynthia and Sally, she was the
butt of their jokes.
Judy
came to the room about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. When she
came to the room, Cynthia addressed Judy saying, "Hi,
holy cow!"
"Don't
say that," replied Judy.
"Why
shouldn't I?"
"No,
you shouldn't say that because I am not trying to act
holy."
Then
Fiona added saying, "No, you are a holy cow. You think
you will only go to heaven and no body else."
"I
never told that I would go to heaven and you won't go to
heaven. Now stop pulling my legs," replied Judy.
Suddenly,
Sally came running into the room and shouted, "You know
what's the news?"
"Don't
keep us in suspense! Say it!" said Fiona.
"You
know Terry and Diane were caught by the dean in their
wonderful acts?"
"What
are those wonderful acts," asked Judy.
Sally
didn't say anything.
"Why
are you keeping us in suspense as if this is a thriller
movie?" remarked Fiona. Sally replied saying, "The
wonderful acts are lesbian acts. Terry and Diane are
lesbians and they cannot live without each other. The
dean asked them to move into separate rooms but they
refused."
"How
does the dean know that Diane and Terry were engaged in
lesbian acts?" asked Cynthia.
"Oh,
the right hand of dean is Julie. She photographed them in
their acts."
"So
sickening! What's wrong with these girls! Why should they be
involved in lesbian acts when there are so many boys in the
school? They can get friendly with one of them. These
girls are all crazy!" shouted Cynthia.
"This
problem is not only in our dorm, but there is homosexuality
also in the boys' dorm," reported Fiona.
Cynthia
anxiously shouted, "Who are the homosexuals in the boys'
dorm?"
"Bill
and George are homosexuals in the boys' dorm," said Fiona
and all of them started laughing except Judy.
Judy
soberly expressed saying, "Why should we laugh at these
homosexuals and lesbians? You know when individuals give their
lives or allow their lives to be controlled by Satan; they can
be involved in any sexual perversion. We should pray for them.
When these lesbians and homosexuals give their lives to the
control of God, then He can change them and they can become
straight."
"Enough
of your preaching!" yelled Sally. "We don't want
your sermons here."
Then
they all stopped talking. After sometime they all took a nap.
Each
girl had their posters stuck on the wall above their beds.
Fiona had the poster of Tom Cruise. Sally had the poster of
Back Street Boys, whereas Cynthia had that of Pete Sampras.
Judy kept the picture of an angel guarding a little child.
From
time to time Cynthia and Sally made fun of Judy for keeping a
religious picture and not keeping a picture of any movie star
or celebrity. Sometimes, they purposely tore down her poster
to the ground. Judy without any complaints she would put the
poster up again.
In
fact, the poster of the angel guarding the child was a recent
one. The previous poster was that of a praying child, which
was disfigured. Apparently, it was done by Cynthia and Sally,
but Judy did not know it. Sally craved to always make
Judy the butt of her jokes inasmuch as she did not like the
religious behaviour of Judy. She disliked persons who were
religious or spiritual.
It
was 8 p.m. The girls had eaten their supper. They were busy
doing their assignments. Cynthia had to do the assignment of
her biology class, though she didn't like biology. The course
was taught by Arnold. As she was going through the notes
taught by Arnold, she desired to pretend like Arnold and
imitate how he taught. Hence she got up and started imitating
like Arnold. "Students take your seats! I don't want
anybody to make noise," she said in bass voice. She was
pretending to write on the wall as if it was a blackboard.
Normally, Arnold writes with his right hand and he keeps
pulling his trousers up with his left hand. Therefore, as
Cynthia was pretending to write on the wall she was pulling
her nightgown up. Fiona uttered saying, "I want to
imitate Jim our math teacher." And she did imitate him.
Again, Cynthia imitated Oliver, their classmate, who always
asked for dates and was refused.
Soon
Sally was imitating their dean Nora.
"Look!
It is not good imitating our dean," said Judy.
Sally
shot back saying, "You shut up!
Don't
interfere! Mind your own business!"
Judy
kept cool. Sally took Fiona and went out of the room. They
were talking softly in the lobby. Sally knew that at mid night
Judy used to get up and go to the toilet to urinate. So Sally
asked the help of Fiona to scare Judy. The plan was that Sally
would dress up like a devil. She would have long black hair,
blacken the face and wear a long white robe. Fiona would hide
near one of the bathrooms and make eerie sounds to scare Judy.
However,
Fiona suggested that Sally should wear a frightening mask
instead. So Sally agreed. Hence, the two decided they are
going to scare Judy that same night. It was about ten o'clock
in the night. Judy prayed before she slept. After an hour,
Fiona and Sally got up and put some pillows under the bed
sheets to make believe that they were sleeping. The two went
to the common toilets according to their plan. Judy got up
about 1 o'clock in the night and went to the toilet. Before
she could urinate she heard eerie sounds. Oow! Ooow! Ooooow!
And afterwards she heard Meow! Meow! Meow! Then again she
heard Oow! Ooow! Oooow! She got very scared. As a matter of
fact, she could not urinate because of the sounds. Later
different sounds were heard. "Skicce! Skicce!
Skeccee! Skeccee!"
Abruptly
from nowhere, a hand came up and threw open the toilet door.
Lo and behold! A devil was standing right in front of Judy.
Judy screamed at the top of her voice shouting, "Devil!
Devil! Devil!"
But
it was in the middle of the night. Girls were fast asleep. No
one came to help her. Judy was trembling to death. After
sometime Judy gathered some courage and shouted saying,
"Devil get lost."
But
this devil did not go. ."Get thee behind me Satan!"
said Judy. But there was no response from the devil.
Eventually
the devil walked away. In fact Judy couldn't complete the act
for which she came. Her bladder muscles went into spasm.
And she went crying back to the room. .
About
6 a.m. many girls went to the bathrooms to do their daily
morning chores, whereas Judy continued to sleep. Sally and
Fiona told the Joke to Cynthia and they burst into laughter.
Judy did not know it was the work of Sally and Fiona.
Later,
Judy did know it was the work of Sally and Fiona, as Cynthia
could not keep the secret. She told Judy that it was Sally who
came as the devil to frighten her. However, the goal of Sally
was that every target of her jests would be at the expense of
Judy because she hated her.
It
was time to go to school and everybody went to school except
Sally. As a matter of fact, Fiona asked Sally why she was not
coming to class.
"I
hate these rules and regulations and am sick of them!"
replied Sally.
"Why
do you hate rules and regulations?" enquired Fiona.
"Because
I don't want anybody to tell me what to do."
"How
come nobody should tell you what to do?"
Sally
simply told her that she hated rules and regulations because
from childhood her teachers used to tell her, "Don't do
this! Don't do that!" Due to this she hated rules. Any
way, Fiona went to school while Sally went back to sleep.
Sally was soon fast asleep because in the night she was busy
trying to prepare herself as the devil to frighten Judy.
As
dean Nora was making rounds in the dorm, she had an intuition
that Sally did not go to school. Thus, she knocked at the door
and there was no reply. She banged the door and finally Sally
opened the door. Dean was so upset.
"Tell
me a good reason why you didn't go to school. If not, I'll
take a stern action against you!" shouted the dean.
Sally,
then immediately, pretended to be sick and she was acting as
if she had severe pain and cramps because of dysmenorrhea.
"I
have severe pain and cramps," answered Sally.
"Come
on! I don't believe it! You are only pretending to be
sick."
"What
do you know about my problems? I'm suffering from painful
menstruation."
The
dean knew that she was lying because ten days ago, Sally
alleged that she had painful menstruation. The dean wondered
how could Sally have another menstruation within ten days.
"Is
something wrong with you? Every girl usually has menstruation
once a month, and how is that you have 2 monthly periods
within ten days?" remarked the dean.
Sally
put her head down and could not answer the question.
"Sally,
why do you tell lies? If you want to tell lies, then do so
intelligently or else others would think that you are a big
fool," advised the dean.
"I
won't do it again."
Then
as the dean was talking to her, she saw the mask of the devil
with the long hair and the white robe lying in a corner.
"This is not the Halloween time! Why is this mask
around?" asked the dean.
"I
just, just, just don't, don't, don't know why it is
there," stammered Sally.
"Come
on! Don't tell another lie! Why is it there?"
"It
belongs to Fiona."
The
dean wanted to cut short the whole conversation, and told
Sally that she would enquire from Fiona to know the truth.
Before
leaving the dean warned Sally saying, "Don't repeat this
bunking of classes again! This is the last warning!"
"Okay,"
said Sally.
Of
course she had many last warnings in the past.
Sally
was preparing to sleep again when suddenly a small lizard came
into the room. Sally got a diabolic idea. She thought that she
could catch this lizard and put it into the pillowcase of
Judy. When Judy puts her head on the pillow and prays, the
lizard will slither out and will scare the hell out of Judy.
Therefore, she took a small stick and hit the lizard softly,
and took it and placed it inside the pillowcase of Judy. Sally
thought to herself that it would be the climax of her jokes
against Judy. She contemplated that when Judy gets shock of
her life because of the lizard, then she would decide not to
pray for the rest of her life.
Why
did Sally go to the extent of putting lizard into the
pillowcase of Judy and make her life miserable? It was because
all the students in the class used to praise the character of
Judy. The beauty of Sally was no match to the beautiful
character of Judy. The teachers used to praise the wisdom of
Judy. Many boys liked Judy and they used to ask her for a
date. Of course Judy used to turn down all the requests
for dates. Sally could not stand the popularity of Judy and
the praises, which she received. Sally reasoned she was the
most beautiful girl in the school. Yet when everybody praised
Judy she thought that she was a thorn in her flesh. Sally
decided to remove this thorn by harassing and torturing Judy.
Sally
did not realise that character was important. She didn't know
that beauty is skin deep whereas character is bone deep.
Beauty lasts as long as grass on the ground of a man's life,
but character lasts as long as pines in the forest of mankind.
