Whenever i see young and rich beautiful ladies, i can't help but to stare at them. I remember one time, three lovely ladies dressed in sophistication,properly fixed hair,high heel and expensive accessories came into view.I just couldn't take my attention away from them. "I was like a pathetic dog salivating for bone,"Leslie told her bestfriend Jessica."Leslie what you see is their physical ,their is more beauty than meets the eye.Your beauty is deeply rooted from within," Jessica exclaimed.
Leslie grew up in marginalized family.Since the death of her mother,she become the breadwinner of the family.She has lived with her alcoholic father and three young siblings.Her daily income varied from the day trashes and garbage that she collected .At the end of the day ,she should bring it to the junkshop so she could have money to buy food.Her income couldn't fully support the necessities of their family, that's why they had to skip meal everyday.Sometimes,they would only eat twice or once.And during unfortunate days they had no food to eat.
We can never tell what may happen tomorrow,change is the only constant in this world.The person that you know today maybe the person you should hate tomorrow . Who knows you may be a dignified person today;the next morning,you don't know who are you."I am tired of being labeled, an ugly women. Everyday people remind me on how I'm perfectly I am"Leslie told to herself.
Jessica worked as a waitress in restaurant near in prominent company in their place."Good morning ma'am,may I have your order?she asked while wearing a genuine smile.The gorgeous lady said."Hey Jessica!How are you?",Excuse me ma'am?Jessica asked surprisingly.The lady just keep on smiling at her and said,"would you mind me to sit with me for a while?I'll pay you,I just need someone to talk to."Ma'am would you mind,in about 30 minutes I'll be out of responded.But the lady filled Jessica besides her and she was left with no choice to stay.
The lady started the conversation at the middle of it Jessica said,"your voice sound familiar it reminds me of an old friend,".I guess I know your friend is she Leslie?she asked."how did you know her?,"Jessica replied."look Jessica,maybe you don't believe me but I'm Leslie,"the lady told her."What?that's impossible ",she asked with with her big rounded eyes." My friend was exactly opposite of your glamorous apperance appearance. The only thing that I admire about her is her golden heart ,"she added."Oh,well if you don't believe me so be it,"the lady said and give her calling card to Jessica.
Leslie woke up and she go to the dining room and had a breakfast with Dr.Philip."Good Morning Leslie get yourself ready I send your picture to my friend advertising agency,she will meet you this morning,"the doctor told her.Oh my!I am really gorgeous right?just imagine different modeling advertising agencies and tryingvto have me in their commercials and endorsement.I just love myself",Leslie spoke as if she's flaunting the beauty in the crowd.In her pictorial for a facial beauty product,many veteran models and endorsers are stared at her.She asked to the photographer for her break and approach Dr.Philip and said,"Why is everyone looking at me?Look at those ladies,they are obviously talking about me,maybe they want my face.They want to be pretty as I am,I can't stay here any longer"."Leslie calm down they only admire your looks because you really look amazing,"the doctor comforted her."No they dont ,they want to appear exactly the same as I because my beauty is unique,".Leslie angrily cried.She left the pictorial and went to the mall to shop.She want to exposed to the public places so she could display her beauty.Yet she doubted that people who saw her only wanted a duplicate of her appearance.
Years passed by and she already forgot about her family, she never even made any connection with her best friend, Jessica.She kept on endorsing facial beauty product,attending top ranking talkshow to share her beauty secret and enjoying her modeling career. No one was patient with her because of her attitude.She always telling everyone that she is the most beautiful woman ever exist.She didn't have a lover because she also don't know how to love.The only person that she loved was herself.
One day,She was since and brought to the hospital due to severe pain in her surgical infected body part.She was not able to eat healthy and nutritious because of thought that the food might contains poison that can poison her mind.She think that her basher put a poison on her foods.She's not eating food for a month and she was just drink.
After three weeks she died at the hospital.Dr.Philip called her relatives and her best friend to informed.On the first two nights of the funeral,only Dr Philip was there.Jessica heard about the news,she immediately went to the funeral house.It was the third night and Leslie body started to turn back,Leslie original appearance.Jessica called Leslie's family.Later then,her family came and that the first time they recognized that it was Leslie in the casket.
