The Lady In A Fancy Clothes
In a far away city, there was a lady who loved to put on make up and made herself look fancy. All the people who encountered her were inspired by how pleasing she looked like. Some people even asked her to take a picture with her and in trembled just to stand in front of her. She always caught the people's attention when she walked to the pavement. She was a total head-turner they said. But little did they know what the lady's true self.
One day, as she went outside to buy herself goods from the grocery store. Her wallet slipped through her pocket without even noticing. The boy noticed it and called her to give it back, but she did not hear his call. So the boy followed her all the way to her house. But the lady didn't notice it still. At home, she went inside and put down the bags of goods she bought. She washed her face to remove the make up and clipped her hair. And there, her flaws and scars were uncovered and clearly revealed to the light. The boy was in shocked as he saw the lady's transformation from the window. "Was this the lady I'd follow? How come she looked so different?" the boy thought. Clearing his mind, he knocked the door and asked. The lady was in nervous and wondered who was behind the door. She opened the door and asked. "Who was this and what did you want?". The boy was telling the incident to the lady when a voice was heard inside the house, "Hey, fool! Who was there?" the voice said to the lady. "It's nothing, Mother. Just a stranger asking for direction." she answered in fear. The boy was flustered with what the voice and the lady acted. And without hesitation he said, "If you didn't mind, why you hid yourself in fancy clothes and make up to look good, while deep within you were broken and wounded?". The lady smiled and told, "When you were at my age, you would understand why. People only pay attention to what was beautiful in their sight." she smiled but her eyes told different. But the boy answered, "When I would be at your age, I would never hide in fear and darkness. I would let them see my wounds and scars. In that case, I would see who really cares." and then he left. Tears fell in the lady's eyes.
