THE EQUILIBRIUM: Another Complication in Love

What if you fall in love with someone who doesn't have the capability to feel love? What if the person whom you worship can not feel the way that you feel? Love is a powerful yet an extremely complicated feeling; a feeling that cannot be ignored by any person. But still if you find someone who feels fear over love and the only emotions that could be stirred by you are the ones associated with terror and not with sensuality?
Are you ready to abandon someone whom you love insanely only because that person can not contain the similar emotion for you? Or would you try till the end to trigger the same feelings for you in that person's heart? Would you keep holding on to hope?

Alec in THE EQUILIBRIUM had faced the same complication. He fell for a young, beautiful girl named Sophie the moment he saw her. She awoke some new yet extremely powerful feelings in him which he had never felt before. He wanted to express his love for her but fate had planned some tough tests for him before he could step forward to achieve his dream to marry her.
Sophie's a simple, quiet girl who had been tormented with a dark past. Her soul bore a wound that was impossible to heal. Since the day she'd opened her eyes to this world, she had never slept a sound sleep without the same nightmare that had haunted her forever. Fear had rooted in her mind and soul like a vermin that was hollowing her from inside. The world never felt like a safe haven for her. As she grew up, her fear grew too to take the form of phobia.... Phobia for strangers, particularly men!
Alec tried to reveal his feelings to her, but how could she understand him when his very presence was choking the life out from her? He was nothing more than the haunting shadow that had always tormented her in every possible way. His touch could only make her feverish and miserable. Every time he stepped closer only to face bare loathness and hostility from her side.
 But did this ever pull his determined spirits down? Is it possible for her to live a normal and blissful life with someone who truly loved her and is ready to live a life of abandonment only to keep her protected?
