She was a beautiful girl, active, energetic with an appetite for life, happy with her work and her friends.

But that happiness was incomplete till she met him, she was always waiting to meet someone like him, and she fell for him with no hesitation. As that was love for her.

She was the happiest when he proposed.

That’s when she asked him how could we get married if you already have a wife???

He simply answered: “I’ll divorce her!”

“That’s unfair!” She said, “What did she do?”

“She’s careless, and we have nothing in common.”

“Then why did you marry her?”

“That’s what my father wanted.”

She believed him, only because she wanted to.

While she was preparing herself for the wedding, she was surprised to see the other woman. Her face was pale.

At that moment, she was certain that the woman was really careless, she didn’t even care for how she looked! Deep down, she was rejoiced, because she used to blame herself every once in a while, but then, she gained more confidence in her love.

She married him and was very happy. After coming back from the brief, days old honeymoon they had together, she was eager to be the queen of her own kingdom, she believed she would be more elegant and beautiful than she ever was! She believed that she’d share her life with her lover.

After a little while, she realized that she was unable to balance between her work and her home, so she chose her home. And little by little, she stopped hanging out with her friends.

She was very happy as her husband encouraged these decisions.

But day by day, she noticed that they rarely talked about anything other than everyday matters.

She got worried, so she took better care of herself, and of him as well. But, the more effort she made, the more the silence grew between them.

Then one morning, she felt like she wanted to go out, she wanted to dress the way she used to, and see her friends for a change.

She tried to put on her favorite clothes but it didn’t fit! Still, she wanted to go out! So she put on the first outfit that fit, and she left the room as fast as she could.

By the door, she took a look at the mirror before she left and she froze instantly!

For she didn’t see herself…she saw the pale careless woman who had nothing in common with her husband, that left her for another!

She pulled herself together and went out, she decided not to come back and to look for the other woman.

She was too tired by the time she found her place, and she went to see her.

When she met her, she saw an elegant beautiful lady filled with energy, she apologized to for everything she did wrong, and she was too ashamed to look her in the eye.

What surprised her was how gently she talked to her, she refused her apology and said:

Don’t be ashamed and don’t apologize. I’m the one who ought to thank you…
