It's interesting how some people get everything with the help of their beautiful and gorgeous faces. Fame, attention, love, and friends. We can't deny how people becomes to obsessed of using beauty products just to make theirselves attractive and acceptable in their society. But how about those people who are not blessed to have an attractive faces?
BEAUTY
Zillah-her name means "shadow". She secretly looks after her friend. For she had received a dreadful rumor.
'Your bestfriend and your ex-boyfriend is now dating'
"We're now in a relationship, Zillah" Reign said while handling up his phone to make me see that they're in a relationship.
"Really? I'm so happy for both of you." see how great am I in pretending? I still managed to act happy even tho my chest tossed apart.
Reign is a beautiful maiden that's used to get lots of attention, love, friends, and respect. As lovely Reign grown into a silver spoon family, everybody wants to be with her.
"Up for celebration, Zillah?" Reign asked while packing up her things.
"Yeah, sure." I smiled bitterly trying to hold on the pain in my chest.
I gazed at her beautiful face "I will never win to someone who's better than me in every perspective" I thought.

The two of us, I and Reign, walk about the mall, talk unceasingly, and are not weary. I still consider her as my friend. Only towards the evening when we decided to go home.
"Goodbye, Zillah. See 'yah tomorrow." Reign waved her hand and turn her back off me.
I gazed at her until she fade away. There's no difference between the darkness I had seen before and now. Betrayal and Pain tosses me from, side to side.
"I'm sorry." I can see someone standing beside me in my peripheral view.
"N-No it's okay, both of you looks good together." I said while trying best not to look straightly into his eyes.
"Are you sure?" he cupped my face and hug me tightly letting me feel the warmth and sincerity of his apology.
Swear words in grimace refused to surrender the tears on my eyes as I remember everything.
"Why are you crying? I thought it's alright to you." he holds my shoulder and let me face him
"I'm crying not just because I'm hurt, it's also because the people who once I cared for, betrayed me!" I said to him sternly.
"She's better than you!, why would I choose someone who can't even reach behalf of my standards?" he said.
"Well, that explains everything. You never loved me. You're just inlove of the idea of being cared and loved."
"If we betrayed you, it's all because of you. You're so insensitive, can't you see how happy we are together? How we look good together?" Reign goes out from the place she was hiding.
I looked at them with a curiosity in my face "So it means, all this time you really like each other?"
"YES." they said.
I walked out with an igniting blaze in my chest. All I can say is "They betrayed me." before leaving that fucking place.
• Not all friends could be true to you but at least you became true to yourself. Not all couple are inlove to each other, maybe one of them are just inlove with the idea of being loved and cared. In our generation, attention, love, friends, respect comes after BEAUTY.
