'Cinderella' - the name reminded of the beautiful princess from the French fairy tale. The face, the name would suit a face and body as flawless and petite as the embodiment of fantasy and not a face filled with spots, dark circles, uneven skin tones and as repulsive a body to go with or so she thought.
Apparently Cinderella Frost was far from pretty and petite and wondered whether her mom had given her the name as a sheer mockery to her physical appearance. Seated comfortably with a packet of baked chips in her hand she despised her overly - curvy body more than the overflowing romance novels spread over her apartment in New York city.
Reading the rom-coms and seeing her friends and colleagues being knee-deep in love and happily-ever- afters filled herself with envy and mortification for her loveless and lifeless life.
Being a massage therapist or a masseuse at New York City's leading beauty spa salon didn't help anything rather than making customers happy with her healing hands. She had left her previous job of a physiotherapist and joined a spa salon specifically to make the day better in the lives of people she serviced, if not of herself.
Though top celebrities, sports personnel came and seeked her service specifically, they never once glanced her way or even mouthed a 'thank you' . What they did was just chat with the pretty receptionist and book their next appointments with her nevertheless.
"Why would they ....?", thought Cinderella. There was nothing appealing about her face. Not the eyes, not the lips, not the nose.... nothing at all. Grunting a sigh she kicked the shin of her Golden Retriever - Basil.
What had saved her from entering into depression were her four adopted canine friends. She was a cuddle - puppy herself and got the warmth of the unconditional love from animals. She was glad at least they didn't judge her by her appearance before lending their love and company to her. What she needed was love undecided by the exterior but unconditional on the interior.
