How far would you go to help complete strangers?
Would you still help them, if it caused you to lose your whole identity....?
Shyam, a 25-year-old, had recently relocated to a village for his job as a postmaster.
Govardhan, the 40-year-old village ruler, had been married to his wife, Sumitra, for 15 years but had yet to conceive a child.
One day, while Shyam was visiting the temple during the puja, the priest spotted him and proclaimed to Govardhan that the solution to their childlessness had been found.
According to the priest, Govardhan's wife, Sumitra, would become pregnant if Govardhan married Shyam, thereby transferring the curse of barrenness to Shyam.
However, Shyam had always identified as a straight man, and the thought of being someone's wife was unfathomable to him.

"Well I need a wife, if you haven't noticed a wedding is supposed to take PLACE!!" Gustavo yelled making me shrink in fear.
He's one scary dude.
"Where are we going to get a bride?, It's late" his mother said trying to reason with him.
His eyes roamed around the room before it landed on me.
"What about him?" Gustavo suggested, his eyes boring into mine, making me shrink a little with fear and discomfort. I wasn't scared of him, it was just that I'm naturally a shy person, so obviously someone who was oozing with such aura would make me panic a bit.
"He looks just like his sister, the same skin colour, his hair is shorter but we can work with it" he was talking to himself now, but his gaze was still fixed on me. His eyes then darted to his mother who looked the same as my mother, stressed.
"Put him In her wedding clothes, mother go tell the priest not to add the kissing part, I want the wedding short and fast" he said before leaving the room. Slamming the door in anger, which made me flinch
