SHE LIED 4 (A short story)

"Loyalty in relationships as far as men and women are concerned, " she repeats nervously as she continues, "That must be the first question of the creator after His perfect creatures disappointed Him. By the way, who did, the man or the woman? What do you think?

"As the accounts state, the man wasn't around when the just transmogrified rib stolen from his rib case without his consent became a glutton and swallowed up a tree."
She scans his face as he speaks. None of his facial expressions escaped his discerning eyes. His eyes churns helplessly as his ears swung from the left to the right like a waving flag in the sky. The rise and fall of his nostrils exposed all the 1 billion hairs that stand as if the kindergarten students in a parade at the assembly grounds, appearing yellowish brown in color.

"I am pretty sure every lady, either a mother or a sister, will be startled at how you define them. But yes, I really lobe the word 'man', just like that. When a blooming flower appealing to the heart is at sight, after a man's heartstrings melt and turn into lyrics of a ballad monger, he wins.
As he is allowed to decorate his heart and emotions with the flower that was already a beauty before his presence, forgetting the sun, he cries to shield her. As the sun looks down to burn mercilessly, she begins to wither, but trusting in his claimed shield of protection, she loves his all.
She keeps withering till ugly becomes more beautiful and attractive. Then, he, the lover, the protector, yes the shield, sticks to her and never leaves the dedicated withering flower that is willing to even offer him her heart whiles she lies stiff in the casket, for another beautiful and more attractive flower even when he sets his eyes on one.

"Mean are no cheats. For their multi sockect hearts accept just a single plug and that's all. Men love with heart, not any more materials. However, as to how they have the flaming desires to be worthy? That is just a literary term called irony."

He sits and opens wide his eyes in bewilderment, as his ears stood as if ten times the erected wings of a praying mantis.
In a few seconds time, he finds his voice to announce his confusion.
"If that is how you can describe the people you claim to love, what then will you have to say about women?..
