One day, a young guy
and a young girl fell in
love.
But the guy came from
a poor family. The girl’s
parents weren’t too
happy.
So the young man
decided not only to
court the girl but to
court her parents as
well. In time, the
parents saw that he
was a good man and
was worthy of their
daughter’s hand.
But there was another
problem: The man was
a soldier. Soon, war
broke out and he was
being sent overseas for
a year. The week
before he left, the man
knelt on his knee and
asked his lady love, “Will
you marry me?” She
wiped a tear, said yes,
and they were engaged.
They agreed that when
he got back in one year,
they would get married.
But tragedy struck. A
few days after he left,
the girl had a major
vehicular accident. It
was a head-on collision.
When she woke up in
the hospital, she saw
her father and mother
crying. Immediately, she
knew there was
something wrong.
She later found out that
she suffered brain
injury. The part of her
brain that controlled her
face muscles was
damaged. Her once
lovely face was now
disfigured. She cried as
she saw herself in the
mirror. “Yesterday, I
was beautiful. Today,
I’m a monster.” Her
body was also covered
with so many ugly
wounds.
Right there and then,
she decided to release
her fiancé from their
promise. She knew he
wouldn’t want her
anymore. She would
forget about him and
never see him again.
For one year, the soldier
wrote many letters—
but she wouldn’t
answer. He phoned her
many times but she
wouldn’t return her
calls.
But after one year, the
mother walked into her
room and announced,
“He’s back from the
war.”
The girl shouted, “No!
Please don’t tell him
about me. Don’t tell him
I’m here!”
The mother said, “He’s
getting married,” and
handed her a wedding
invitation.
The girl’s heart sank.
She knew she still loved
him—but she had to
forget him now.
With great sadness,
she opened the
wedding invitation.
And then she saw her
name on it!
Confused, she asked,
“What is this?”
That was when the
young man entered her
room with a bouquet of
flowers. He knelt beside
her and asked, “Will you
marry me?”
The girl covered her
face with her hands and
said, “I’m ugly!”
The man said, “Without
your permission, your
mother sent me your
photos. When I saw
your photos, I realized
that nothing has
changed. You’re still the
person I fell in love.
You’re still as beautiful
as ever. Because I love
you!”
