How God made girls and why boys are after them?

This happened on a very unusual day. As if God himself chose that auspicious hour to let me know how it all had happened. How the world got the adorable, lovely, beautiful, angelic, attractive and seducing living beings called ‘Girls’. The form he chose for the fact to exchange brains was a friend of mine and perhaps a witness of his acts. His (God’s) architecture came out from his world. Allow me to unfold the biggest secret of times: How God made girls and why boys are after them?

It is difficult to tell what exactly it is where there is no sunlight, no moonlight, no winds, no humidity, no gravity and no air, but that is where exactly God resides. And he has been there since ages, as back as we can fold our reels of memories. God in our world is in the form of idols, stones, portraits, flags and colors. But in his dwelling he is a mere shadow: A shadow without a body, as different from our acquaintance as a tree with leaves but no branches. However, his appearance in the form of shadow is unlike of a human outline with limbs and skull, rather it’s like an amoeba that transforms from one shape to another and moves on with the requirements. Yet in ages of devotion received from his disciples he hasn’t shown himself to them. That makes people craft him of their desired shape.

On one of his routine days, God was intensely happy after he completed the structural development of the Solar-system. As he master-stroked the last planet, he from his intense warmth produced a burning ball of fire and tossed it among the planets. It was multiple times larger than the planets he had just built. He made a few assumptions, checked a few things and declared the third made planet as ‘Movable’. He decided this is where life would begin.

          With the sense of completion he however still had a feel of incompletion. Something was missing in the big picture. It was all silent after so much arranged so systematically. There was no bustle and there was no commotion. In simpler words there was life yet to be introduced.

          He began from a scratch on the infinite sky; it was just a streak that seemed meaningless to him. He worked on for hours and days, breathing life in all his faulty designs. In this outcome he had made animals, mammals, fishes, insects, flies and he also made Mother Nature with shrubs, bushes, trees and water. But all of this he disliked, yet piled one beside the other. He was in search of something different, something captivating, something desirable, and something powerful that could control all of these. Moreover, he needed his product to be sensitive, reactive, aggressive and sentimental.

          He worked harder with the passing time, until he finally created one. It had specifications like none other. His outcome was tall with an erect spine. It had limbs, eyes, and was hairy and tough. However, it had a tail on either side. This confused him and he resolved it by piercing the front tail and transformed it into an excretory gland. He called him ‘Zuno’. He for days admired his creation and then one fine day decided to make another alike it.

          Then, with all his might he sat for another big breakthrough. On his used resources he started to make another life-form; somewhat alike and somewhat different. He for this used humps and curves. He used long hanging strands of planetary dust to cover its scalp. He made it gentler, delicate, softer and fragile than the previous form. This he termed ‘Quini’. Then upon its successful completion he stepped back and observed both his creations. They were spectacular. They were marvelous. They were beyond description.

          He on some scales found the lately made was more appealing and adorable. He decided to not send it to the world called ‘Movable’; instead was firm to keep it in his dwelling with him. He to some extents was drawn towards Quini and wanted to let not go so good a masterpiece away from him. Then with a firm mind he breathed life, feelings, emotions and senses into the carved statues and with a fit they both moved.

          As they moved, he was delighted. His entire consciousness focused on the gentle frame of universal elements. He noticed every slight movement that she made. Then he twirled around the torso of the structure in his amoebic form, feeling the unfelt. But to his surprises, she minded his actions and was eventually unhappy and frightened by his presence. She ran to Zuno and dug her skull in his strong arms. He called her back but she wouldn’t return. Instead she clutched Zuno’s hand and looked deep into his eyes. He was her new admirer.

          This turned God unhappy and furious. He neither wanted to destroy his creations, nor could he find a way to tame Quini. He felt hurt over the betrayal. He regretted his deeds, as it had triggered out his own solace. He wanted revenge but the responsibility to safeguard the entire world was upon him. He had the power but couldn’t use. He had the ability to destroy, but his duties stopped him. He felt helpless and lost for a moment.

          Meanwhile Zuno and Quini strolled hand in hand. With a blow of elementary dust on the duos, he said to Zuno that from then on Quini would become more and more attractive and appealing but would not show any direct emotions for him. It would also be not easy to win her heart. Moreover, he would be hurt and bruised with acts that she would turn him down for. Also, his attraction towards her would grow day by day and would pain him intensely with discomforts of pleasure. His life from then on would become a chase for her. Accomplishing her would become a mission for him.

With this he smiled at Zuno and for the last time looked at Quini with the eyes of an admirer. He then showed them the path to the world and asked them to leave to begin their life there. As he pointed them to the world they were to go, the stars made a bright and brilliant pathway for them to walk. Gazing at the marvelous road ahead, Quini took a deep breath, exhaled and in a jerk gripped-off Zuno’s hand and ran off into the divine. Zuno called from behind but she wouldn’t care to stop or even listen. He ran behind her wailing her name and she kept running ahead him, blushing and teasing him. And from the distance God just smiled. The spell had begun!
