9. Beauty

"By any chance, will you marry me?" I asked my boyfriend. He's a son of a CEO. And yeah, he is rich. He really is.

I really don't know the reason why he loves me. I'm a poor ugly woman. Is he serious about having a relationship with someone like me? But I admit, I am happy although I have a doubt.

He looked at me with his beautiful bare eyes. Such a handsome man for an ugly woman like me. He doesn't deserve someone like me. He smiled, a sweet one then answered, "Yup. I will."

I was so shocked because of what he have answered. "Really? Is this true? Are you kidding? I mean, I'm ugly... poor and a whore, but you're going to marry... me? H-How?"

"Hush. I will marry you. I'm serious, not kidding. I love you." He pinched my right cheek. "Being your boyfriend is really worth it. You're caring, loving and mostly, a good chef which I really like. Don't say that you're ugly. No one's ugly. I love you not because you loves me. I love you because I really love the whole you. I admire you and I really do love you. In fact, I fell for you because you're a responsible intelligent woman. You're my cure and my medicine."

I was about to answer but he smirked which made my cheeks blush more, then, he continued. "You're making me laugh, smile that is making me fall for you everyday—every moment. Don't look at yourself like you're the ugliest person, honey, because everyone has its own beauty. Your beauty is unique, a beauty that can be seen inside and out."

Tears fell down from my eyes while here I am, smiling because of those things he said.

He made me realized that he really do love me. His love is true.

And you, I wanna say, be confident and never loose hope. Someone will love you and your imperfections. You are beautiful no matter what they say. If you're morena, has a white skin, with perfect teeth or not, have a pale lips, curly hair or straight, tall or short, intelligent or not, someone will love you too.

No one's perfect, honey. Never get jealous to someone. No one's better than you because the best person is “you”. Yes, we have a lot of imperfections or differences and that's what we called being “unique”.

If they really do love you, they'll accept your beauty, status, past and the whole you. If they not, that one might be a selfish love or a fake one. Someone might leave you because of your imperfections but soon, someone will accept it.

Cheer up! Someone's looking for you. That “someone” will accept you, just wait for him. Don't loose hope.
