“Is she your wife?” The doctor asked, after running some tests, to be certain Julian was free of any form of injury. “She is a girl I met on the streets.” Alex replied, looking menacingly at Julian with the 'just say anything and hear from me later look’. Julian was fuming. It was his nerve to lie. He couldn’t even own up to his sh*t but was comfortable lying even in her presence. She wondered how badly raised he must have been. “Doctor, my name is Julian. I do not even know his name, and for the record, he hit me.” Julian said as she fired shots into his eyes with the ‘do your worst look’. Alexander Blackwood, a British guy, is an uncouth, imposing male who suffers from ego and a dominant perplexing attitude. In his opinion, the idea of love is for the weak and feeble minded.

It takes a lot to tangle and their journey is rift with the dynamics and challenges of grappling with finding love across varying personalities and different socio-cultural contexts .
