Tragic Story
Beauty
She was not beautiful. Nothing about her was extraordinary.
Nothing about her made her stand out in a crowd. She grew
up in a family of six and being the eldest, she learned
to be responsible at an early age.
As she grew stronger and brighter, she helped to cheer
the people around her. She was not beautiful, but she
made others feel better themselves. She met a boy rebel
who thinks he is a man. She befriends him and teaches
him to read. They became good friends and she fell in
love with her rugged and handsome student.
However, the 'man' finds himself in love with another
girl. She was beautiful and had deep blue eyes and fine
silky hair. He tells his tutor that it seemed as if she
had a halo around her head like a beautiful ‘angel.'
Upon hearing this, the tutor swallows a lump in her throat.
She was not beautiful, she would not be able to compete
with the ‘angel’ he loved, but she did not
care. As long as he is happy, she will be happy. She helped
him write the most beautiful letters to his ‘angel’.
As she was writing the letters, she imagined herself receiving
those very letters. She also helped him to choose the
right clothes, say the right words and buy the right gifts
for his ‘angel’.
His ‘angel’ brought him much joy but much
pain for the tutor who cries behind her smiles. But that
never stopped her from giving more than she will ever
receive. Then one day, the ‘angel’ left him
for another richer and more successful man. The boy was
stunned. He was so hurt that he did not speak for days.
The tutor went to him and he cried on her shoulders and
she cried with him.
He was hurt and she was too. Time went by and the wounds
healed. By now, the boy realizes something about his friend/tutor.
Something he never realized before. He realizes how heavenly
her laughter sounded and how her smiles brightened up
the darkest days. He also realizes how beautiful she simply
looked to him!
She was not beautiful. However, she was beautiful to
him. He began to fall in love with this beautiful girl
he had seen through new eyes. One day, he picked up all
his courage to see her. He walked to her house feeling
nervous, and fidgeting all the way. He ran his thoughts
over and over his head.
He was going to tell her how beautiful she was to him.
He was going to tell her how wonderfully in love he was
with her. He knocked. No one was home.
The next day, he found out that the beautiful girl he
just fell in love with had a brain tumour that put her
into a coma. The doctors were grim and the family decided
to let her go.
He got to see her one final time. He held her hand and
stroked her hair as he cried for this beautiful girl.
He cried but it was too late. The beautiful girl was buried
and the high heavens above broke down and cried for their
loss too. There was a beautiful Spring shower on her burial
day. She was the most beautiful girl in the world and
she had taught the boy rebel/man to love and what it is
to be loved.
She was the most beautiful girl in the world.
Look around. Aren't there a lot of plain faces around
us? Take a real good look or you might just miss out on
that beautiful person.
