Layla, a 23-year-old woman, is stunningly beautiful with her tall stature, fair skin, and striking black features. Her large, black eyes and long, silky black hair are mesmerizing. 

However, when her father or stepmother say hurtful things to her, Layla often responds with a simple "okay, Dad," as she feels that she has no right to say anything more. 

Despite the immense pain caused by their words, she does not defend herself.

Layla's reluctance to express herself beyond these few words stems from her past experiences. 

Her mother abandoned her without any apparent reason, causing her to become hesitant to speak up and express herself. She feels that before she can become her own person, she must first conform to the expectations of others, whether they are within or outside her family. 

Layla believes that she only has the right to say "yes" or its synonyms.

Layla avoids engaging in lengthy and pointless conversations not because she dislikes gossip, but because she fears that the conversation will end with someone hurling hurtful insults at her. For Layla, such words are like a sharp sword piercing through her heart, causing immense pain.

Layla's fear of being insulted or humiliated also prevents her from engaging in debates or expressing disagreement with others. 

What if she disagreed with someone on a trivial matter, devoid of true importance or deep meaning? After a lengthy dispute, an animated dialogue, and a sharp disagreement, she would be labeled by the daughter rejected and abandoned by her mother. What would happen then? She would be overwhelmed with sorrow, her heart would tighten, and she would find no respite for long days, perhaps even years.

Although her mother abandoned her for no apparent reason, Layla still suffers from a broken heart, a wounded soul, and a present sadness that is often accompanied by tears.
